In the burrow, the Wiggler Segment and Comet Piece are stuck behind giant webs. The webs can be broken with Mario's hammer. During the fight with the Big Scuttlebug, it makes a web that traps Mario if he uses a jump attack on it. It must be destroyed using other types of stickers. To reach and free Kersti, Mario must repeatedly jump on webs to break them.
