This level consists of a main area, an optional area, and a short screen with the [[Giant Gate]]. The player is given 300 seconds on the [[Time Limit|timer]] to complete the level. The player starts on a mushroom platform with three Cheep Cheeps circling underneath, and if the player has completed the [[Yellow Switch Palace]], a yellow [[! Block|Exclamation Mark Block]] containing a [[Super Mushroom]] is also there. If the player can [[jump]] onto the mushroom platform directly above the starting point offscreen and then [[dash|run]] across the platform from left to right, they can reveal a hidden [[1-Up Mushroom]]. Also early in the level is a [[? Block|Prize Block]] containing a [[Fire Flower]]. Continuing on, the player can notice floating island platforms in the water that serve as the ground for most of the level. However, standing on these platforms too long causes them to sink into the water, so the player must keep moving. Eventually, [[mine|Floating Mine]]s roll down the current, and they must be avoided. Near the middle of the level, a [[Warp Pipe]] takes the player to a waterless area where several Pokeys and a [[Message Block]] reside. The Message Block tells the player how to leave a level already cleared easily. After the player leaves this area, there is a [[P Switch|Switch Block]] on a [[Rotating Block]] and a [[Super Star]] in another Rotating Block. Pressing the Switch Block makes the line of [[coin]]s to the right transform into [[Empty Block|Brown Block]]s, and red [[Koopa Troopa]]s fall from higher Brown Blocks. The rest of the level consists of avoiding Floating Mines and Cheep Cheeps. At the end, the player can use the Message Block near the Giant Gate to gain extra [[point]]s; this Message Block tells the player all about bonus points.
