World 4-1 (New Super Mario Bros.): Difference between revisions

'''World 4-1''' is the first level of [[World 4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 4]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. The level must be reached by using a secret exit in {{world-link|2|castle|World 2-Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)}}. The level has a Forest theme and has many [[Scuttlebug]]s, and a river of [[Poison Water]] that is crossed by a [[Dorrie]]. This level also contains a Secret Exit.

Much of the level is flooded by [[Poison Water]]. If Mario touches it, he will instantly lose a life. To start, Mario should keep walking until he finds some [[Scuttlebug]]s. He should jump on them to gain a jumping boost, which is used in collecting the first [[Star Coin]]. About halfway into the level, the player should see a [[Dorrie]]. Jump on it to ride it, while avoiding the Scuttlebugs. Mario does not need to ride the Dorrie as he can simply make long jumps and bounce off the Scuttlebugs and stand on blocks in between them. To get the second Star Coin, Mario again should get a jump boost from a Scuttlebug. After getting off Dorrie, Mario should jump onto the [[Donut Block]]s to avoid falling into the water. The final Star Coin can be obtained by using a [[Koopa Troopa]] and throwing the shell at the coin. After this, Mario reaches the [[Goal Pole]].

*'''Star Coin 3''' - After hopping off Dorrie, Mario can find two Scuttlebugs and a brown block formation. He should defeat both Scuttlebugs and carefully traverse the [[Donut Block]]s and Poison Water to reach the final Star Coin.
