Blocks with [[Koopa Troopa]]s on them. More Sand Geysers are found, along with the [[Checkpoint Flag]]. Three Sand Geysers and a Spike are found, with Flying ? Blocks above them. More Flying ? Blocks with Koopa Troopas on them are found. After the Sand Geysers, a Warp Pipe that leads to an area with a [[Mini Mushroom]] is found in a portion of the wall. A Spike is found on a Flying ? Block, and a section with a [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]] and some Sand Geysers follows. A section with more Sand Geysers and Spikes on Flying ? Blocks leads up to the [[Goal Pole]].

Using a Mini Mushroom, the player must head to the structure left of the Spike that comes after the third Star Coin to get to a [[Pipe Cannon]] that leads to the secret exit. The secret hole is found at the very bottom of the tower. Alternatively, the player can also run and [[crouch]] to slide through the small hole, although when the player enters, the [[coin]]s are out of reach without [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini Mario]]. The exit unlocks [[Piranha Plants on Ice]].
