Layout

At the start of the level there is a Statue Leaf on a tree stump. After collecting the Statue Leaf the player can Ground Pound the tree stump for a coin. Below the tree stump is an area containing many Spinies and 2 ? Blocks. One of the blocks contains multiple coins, whilst the other contains a Poison Mushroom. To the left of the blocks is a Star which is located on a rock, if the player collects this they can easily destory the surrounding Spinies. The player must then jump up the steps which have another Star located near them and the player can use this to destroy the surrounding Prongos. The player must then cross three trampoline platforms and then after walking across a platform they must use more trampoline platforms to reach the top of the castle. In the final area the player can grab another star and use it to destroy the surrounding Prongos. To reach the top of the flagpole the player needs to use the ascending platform.
