Gnarly: Difference between revisions

'''Gnarly''' is the first level in the [[Special Zone]] of ''[[Super Mario World]]''. It is mostly a vertical level in which [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] have to scale ropes or creepers and use springboards to reach the top. It takes place in the sky.

The player will start next to a [[Message Block]], which tells the player there is a surprise at the end of the Special Zone. To progress through the screen, the player must first go upwards. There are a few springboards the player can jump up, which will lead to a platform with four [[Rotating Block]]s. Upon hitting these Rotating Blocks, they all sprout [[Beanstalk|Vine]]s which the player can climb up; however, only the rightmost vine will lead to anywhere useful as the rest will get stuck below [[Block (empty)|Block]]s. Once the player climbs up to where the red [[Koopa Paratroopa]] is flying, hitting the right Rotating Block will result in another vine growing, and the left will give the player a [[P Switch|Switch Block]]. The player should use the [[Jump Block]]s on the right side to take the Switch Block to the top. Once at the top, the player should hit the Switch Block (which will make lots of [[? Block]]s appear) and fall down against the right wall, and then enter the [[Warp Pipe]] the player ends up next to.

In the next screen, the player will encounter 3 Dragon Coins to the left, and three [[1-Up Mushroom]]s to the right. The 1-Up Mushrooms will be invisible. After collecting all that, the player can simply fly over the pit to the right if they have a [[Cape Feather]]. Otherwise, the player must use the Switch Blocks to make ? Blocks appear, defeat the [[Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother]], and use his platform to reach solid ground. There is a [[Lakitu]] that tosses [[Spiny]]s at the player right before the [[Giant Gate]].
