The Great Goal Pole

This article is about the level in Super Mario 3D World. For the level in New Super Mario Bros. 2, see World Star-4.

The Great Goal Pole, otherwise known as World Star-4 is the fourth level in World Star. It is unlocked by completing Rolling Ride Run and its completion unlocks Super Block Land.

Layout

Upon first look, the level appears to be very short and simple. There is a tree, a Lift, and a couple of ? Blocks. After jumping for the Goal Pole, however, it grows wings and starts flying away, forcing Mario and company to chase it. The Goal Pole will stop flying if the player is too far behind, but as the player catches up, it will continue flying away. Boost Pads are placed in different locations around the level.

Towards the end of the level, Donut Blocks must be used as platforms. Once the player catches the Goal Pole, the level will end, and a cloud platform will appear on the ground before the player jumps off the Goal Pole after sliding down it.

Green Stars

• Green Star 1: The first Green Star is on the first set of Donut Blocks.
• Green Star 2: Right before the second Walleye, follow the Donut Blocks all the way to the left to get the Green Star.
• Green Star 3: Follow the Donut Block staircase at the end of the level upwards. Follow the top path to reach the Green Star.
