Layout

Like Waterspout Beach and Above the Cheep Cheep Seas, this level contains many Water Geysers. The level begins with a Water Geyser with a Big Urchin on it. A Goomba is found, along with another Big Urchin on a Water Geyser, found under a ? Block containing a power-up. A group of five Water Geysers follows, some of which having Urchins on them. Koopa Troopas are also here. A row of Donut Blocks is found above a Big Urchin, and causing them to fall allows access to a Brick Block containing a Mini Mushroom. Next is a section of ground with a Koopa Troopa and a Goomba on it with Big Urchins below, which is followed by a Water Geyser. More Big Urchins on Water Geysers are found, followed by the Checkpoint Flag. There is a platform containing a long row of Big Urchins on Water Geysers, and it is followed by a platform with a Koopa Troopa on it and a row of Urchins on Water Geysers below. Another section of Big Urchins on Water Geysers follows. A Water Geyser that leads to a platform above is found, along with a Red Ring. More Big Urchins on Water Geysers follow, with two lifted above rows of Donut Blocks before the Goal Pole.
