The Great Goal Pole, otherwise known as World Star-4, is the fourth level of World Star in Super Mario 3D World and its Nintendo Switch port Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. It is unlocked by completing Rolling Ride Run, and its completion unlocks Super Block Land.

Layout[edit]

Upon first look, the level appears to be very short and simple. There is a tree, a lift, and a couple of ? Blocks. After the player jumps for the Goal Pole, however, it grows wings and starts flying away, forcing Mario and co. to chase it. The Goal Pole stops flying if the player is too far behind, but as the player catches up, it continues flying away. Dash Panels are placed in different locations around the level. To accommodate for the faster moving speed of the characters, the Goal Pole moves faster in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury compared to the original game.

Towards the end of the level, Donut Blocks must be used as platforms. Once the player catches the Goal Pole, the level ends, and a cloud platform appears on the ground before the player jumps off the Goal Pole after sliding down it.
