Forest Fortress: Difference between revisions

[[Mario]] will start out in a moving sidescrolling area. He will find [[Pillar]]s throughout the area that will try to crush him. After getting past the first Pillar, Mario will also find [[Grinder (obstacle)|Grinder]]s moving along dotted lines close to the ground. The player may have to use the [[Spin Jump]] to get past the obstacles. After progressing through the area, Mario will even find [[Pit (obstacle)|bottomless pit]]s under the Grinders; however, these bottomless pits will be completely covered by [[Exclamation Mark Block]]s if Mario has activated them before the level. At the end of this area, Mario will find a [[Door]] taking him to the next area in the fortress.

In the next area, Mario will start out on a platform above the [[lava]]. A Grinder will immediately fall from a platform at the top of the screen, in an attempt to hurt Mario. Mario must jump over a pit full of lava, avoiding the [[Podoboo]]s that jump out. After climbing the next platform, Mario must jump into a small pit at the bottom of the screen, which contains two Grinders and a [[Triangular Block]] that Mario must use to climb out of the pit and progress through the level. Mario will find a [[Question Block]] on the platform containing a power-up. Next, Mario must get a running start and jump across a pit of lava. The next platform is a long area made of a set of unbreakable gray blocks. Mario can either stay on the flat platform or jump across the blocks suspended above the ground, avoiding Grinders and Podoboos. When Mario reaches the end of the platform and jumps across the lava again, he will land on the last platform of the fortress. If Mario is on the part of the pIatform at the bottom of the screen, he will find a [[Triangular Block]] that will help him climb the wall and reach the boss door. Mario must, again, fight four [[Reznor]]s on a set of four rotating platforms by hitting the underside of each platform.
