First, [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) must dive in the water under the fortress and swim in front of a [[torpedo tube]]. When a [[Torpedo Ted]] comes out, Mario must get its attention and lure it into the caged underwater weight. The Torpedo Ted will destroy the weight, allowing the fortress to float up and revealing a path so that Mario can climb to the top of the fortress. Mario must [[Wall Jump]] up the path and get to the area with the [[Thwomp]]s. Then, Mario must walk around the area, avoiding the Thwomps and arriving at an area with [[Topman|Topmen]] and [[Water Shooter]]s. Mario must spin a [[valve]], which disables the Water Shooters and reveals a green Topman. Mario must jump on top of this Topman to spring up to the next platform.

Mario must then proceed to collect the five blue [[Star Chip]]s. Four of these are scattered around the area with the moving platforms, and one is on top of a Thwomp in the previous area. After all five of the Star Chips have been collected, Mario must use the moving platforms to climb to the top of the fortress, where a Pull Star appears. Mario can take this Pull Star to the water sphere planet. On this planet, Mario has to get on top of the bolt-type [[Ball Beamer]] and spin to dislodge the gold screw from it. This causes the planet to open up halfway, revealing a Power Star submerged in water in its center. Mario can now dive in to retrieve the Power Star.
