'''Perilous Pokey Cave''', or '''Layer-Cake Desert-2''', is the second course of [[Layer-Cake Desert]]. It is a cave consisting of [[Pokey]]s, various [[Sand Geyser]]s and other enemies. It is unlocked via completion of [[Stone-Eye Zone]], and its own completion unlocks [[Stoneslide Tower]].

 

The cave, like [[Fire Snake Cavern]] is barely shrouded in darkness. In the later part of the course, the entirety of the cave will be shrouded in darkness. Sand Geysers and ledges make way for secrets and hidden areas.

Mario starts outside the cave with a [[Pokey]] and a [[Warp Pipe]]. Mario must enter this pipe to continue. Mario will drop into the cave with Sand Geysers and many Pokeys. There is a block containing a [[Yoshi Egg]] in the first section of the cave. The next section is through another Warp Pipe down more deep into darkness. Along with [[Swoop]]ers and Pokeys, Mario must carefully pass them, defeat them with fireballs or use Yoshi to suck them up. Finally, another Warp Pipe is near the end. Another Warp Pipe beyond from the darkness will lead to the surface where the [[Goal Pole]] is.

In the starting area of the course, it is possible to fly over the wall to the section where the Goal Pole is, using a [[Super Acorn]].

*'''Star Coin 1''': Shortly after entering the cave, past the first [[Pokey]] on the ceiling, the player will come across an area with 3 [[Sand Geyser]]s, a Red [[Koopa Troopa]], a Pokey and several floating blocks. They must jump onto the floating blocks to get the first Star Coin.

*'''Star Coin 2''':  Right after the player obtains the first Star Coin, they will see two [[Pokey]]s on the ceiling between a sand geyser. They must get onto the geyser and jump up to reveal a hidden block, then use the block to wall jump up and to the right and over the ceiling. Then they must follow the path of coins right to the second Star Coin.

*'''Star Coin 3''': Towards the end of the dark area full of [[Swoop]]ers and [[Pokey]]s, instead of taking the green [[Warp Pipe]] on the right, the player should head back and check the ceilings. If [[Mario]] or any other character finds a yellow Warp Pipe, they should look to the left of that to find some hidden blocks and a green Warp Pipe. They can use [[Yoshi]], a [[Balloon Baby Yoshi]], a [[Super Acorn]] , some Boost Blocks, or Peachette to reach it. The next area has three Pokeys and the Star Coin.
