Layout

The section with Bullet Bills outside the tower

The first part of this level contains a large platform similar to the Tilt Lift first seen in World 1-2 on a cloudy background. It can be controlled by tilting the Wii Remote left or right as it travels upward. The player is given an Ice Flower during this part of the level. Bullet Bills are shot from Bill Blasters on the sides of the level, and run into each other in the middle of the screen, and as the player gets closer to the top of the first part of the level, Banzai Bills are shot from the right side. The second part of the level has the same platform, with Bob-ombs as obstacles instead of Bullet Bills.

Once the player reaches the end of the level and goes through the red doors, Ludwig von Koopa is fought. Ludwig shoots an indigo fireball out of his wand that follows the player around and use flutter-jumping in a tactic similar to Yoshi's. He only lands if a player is directly below him. Like most other bosses, three hits defeats Ludwig, causing him to retreat to the world's castle.

Hidden goal

This level also contains a hidden goal. In the second area, by entering a hidden alcove in the right wall below the second-to-highest brown sliding platform, the player is led outside the tower to an area with many Bullet Bills and the hidden goal.

Star Coins

Image	Location
	The first Star Coin is floating under the arrow sign that points to the exit Warp Pipe.
	Instead of taking the usual exit Pipe from the first area, Mario and co. must jump to hit an Invisible Block to the left of the ceiling, then jump from it to a hidden area which leads to the second Star Coin.
	Shortly before Ludwig's door, the third Star Coin is blocked off by three bricks. Mario and co. can access it by using a Bob-omb to break the bricks.
