Template:Levelbox Spinning Platforms of Doom, or Superstar Road-5, is the fifth course of Superstar Road in New Super Mario Bros. U. It is unlocked when the player collects every Star Coin in Soda Jungle. This level appears to be based off of Painted Swampland.

Layout

The course's design is based off of Painted Swampland, and it begins near a Warp Pipe and a ? Block. A group of four moving platforms that simultaneously spin in a circle is found, with a ? Block in the center. The player must ride it above poison. At the end of the track, two vines are found above the poison. A platform is the found, with Circling Boo Buddies in the middle. More Warp Pipes are found, some of which have Piranha Plants in them. A ? Block is found above one of them. A group of two spinning platforms is found on a track, surrounded by Circling Boo Buddies. The player then reaches a ground platform, where some Brick Blocks, coins, and a Piranha Plant are found. The player must then ride across a swinging platform on a track, which leads to the Goal Pole.
