| The level begins with a [[Bill Blaster]] above, and an [[Arrow lift (New Super Mario Bros. series)|arrow lift]] is located nearby. Another Bill Blaster is found, along with a [[? Block]] containing a power-up. A trail of [[coin]]s foreshadow a [[Hidden Block]] with a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. Two more arrow lifts are found after another Bill Blaster. A [[Bill Blaster Turret]] is found, along with an arrow lift that takes the player beneath a section of the ground. [[Koopa Troopa]]s and arrow lifts are found, along with a tall Bill Blaster. 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]]. | | The level takes place in a sky of white clouds and grassy platforms. The level is also infested with Bullet Bills. The main gimmick of this level are [[Switchback Platform]]s that help the player progress through the level. |

| | *'''Star Coin 2:''' Right before the midway point, there's a hidden green [[Warp Pipe]] above a Switchback Platform. In the next area, the player must work their way through to reach the second Star Coin. |

| | *'''Star Coin 3:''' A [[POW Block]] can be hit to reveal the third Star Coin. However, the coin will fall on an unreachable Switchback Platform. The player can either bounce off a Bullet Bill to reach it, or wait until the platform drops off the Star Coin. |
