| | [[File:Stalamp.png|frame]] |
| Mario and Luigi have to collect diamonds while riding [[Mine Cart|cart]]s along a set of tracks. They can get their carts to jump by pressing {{button|gba|A}} and {{button|gba|B}}, respectively. The entire portion of Mario's track is visible to the player; however, only a small portion of Luigi's is, which is lit up by a flashlight held by Mario. This light can be moved using the {{button|gba|Pad}}. In addition to collecting diamonds, Mario and Luigi must avoid falling stalactites that resemble [[Thwomp]]s. The battery of Mario's flashlight gradually weakens and can be replenished by ones found on the track. Beginning with level two, bats start to appear at certain points, though they can be scared off with the flashlight. On level five, a [[Boo]] wearing a mining helmet and holding a pickaxe may appear. Like the bats, it can be scared off with the flashlight.
