A [[Roulette Block]] can be found in a section of the ground. An arrow lift that moves down is found, allowing access to platforms below. The [[Checkpoint Flag]] is then found. A row of downward-moving arrow lifts is found above a pit, as well as some Bill Blasters. Another Bill Blaster is found, followed by Koopa Troopas and a [[POW Block]]. More arrow lifts and Bill Blaster Turrets are in the following section. The level concludes with a [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]] on a staircase leading to the [[Goal Pole]].
