Layout
The player will start off in the desert. They will see two ? Blocks on the ground, which will contain coins. The next ? Block will contain a power-up. The player will now see many Brick Blocks on top of ? Blocks which also contain coins. The player will now encounter their first Blockhopper, and will see a lone ? Block containing a coin. The Blockhopper will contain a power-up if defeated. As the player advances, they will find more Brick Blocks and ? Blocks, all containing coins. The player will see a Spiny here, and some more Blockhoppers. This time, the Blockhoppers will contain coins. If the player jumps on top of a blockhopper, they can reach some coins as well as their first Star Coin throughout the level. All the Brick Blocks here will contain a coin. The player will climb ontop of some rocks, and will find another lone Blockhopper here, as well as some coins. Jump ontop of a Blockhopper to reach the coins if necessary. The player will find another Blockhopper, which will help the player reach more coins, and another Blockhopper beside this one, which will contain a power-up if defeated. The player will advance, and find some coins with a lone ? Block containing a power-up. A Fire Snake along with another Blockhopper with a coin can be seen here. The player will have to jump to cross the gap, and will find another Fire Snake surrounded by Blockhoppers containing coins.
Many coins will be seen in the air, and the player will find 3 Brick Blocks; with one containing a P-Switch. The player will have to jump from a Blockhopper to reach the P-Switch, and after the player presses it, a path to leading to the second Star Coin will appear. As the player advances, they will find a moving platform that will go vertically. A Boomerang Bro can also be found here. The player can now take two routes. The first route is to take the pipe guarded by the lone Boomerang Bro, which will lead to the last area in this level, and the player will find a lone Blockhopper and the Flagpole. The player should jump off the Blockhopper to reach the top of the Flagpole. Or, if the player wants to take the other route, they can go under the quicksand from the area before, and keep jumping to avoid being sucked in, to find a block that the player will be able to go through, which will lead to some more blocks the last area, and some more blocks the player can go through. The player should fall down from the blocks, and jump across the gap to find many coins, a lone Blockhopper, and a Star Coin. The player should use the Blockhopper to get everything in this section of the area. The player will then jump from the blocks that they could go through and will end up by the pipe the player would have came from if they took the first route, and will follow the same route to reach the end of the level. The player will now have access to World 2-6.
Star Coins
- Star Coin 1 - There will be a two Blockhoppers, one with three blocks and the other with one. Use the three-block Blockhopper to reach the Star Coin in midair.
- Star Coin 2 - After the checkpoint is one Fire Snake. Keep going until the player sees a second Fire Snake. Hit the block near the area and a P-switch should appear. Use the nearby Blockhopper to hit the switch and turn the coins into blocks. Follow the trail of blocks and get the second Star Coin.
- Star Coin 3 - This Star Coin is well hidden. When Mario or Luigi reach the area with a lone Boomerang Bro, fall into the quicksand. Keep jumping so they won't die, but move to the right at the same time. There should be small gray opening to the right of the Boomerang Bro. After taking the secret passage, there should be a lone Blockhopper. Use it to obtain the last Star Coin.
