Template:Levelbox Stoneslide Tower, or Layer-Cake Desert-Tower, is the second tower in New Super Mario Bros. U. It features stone platforms that are movable by spinning on wooden screws. After completing this level for the first time, Magikoopa flies around Peach's Castle and a tornado starts to form around it. This level is unlocked by completing either Perilous Pokey Cave or Fire Snake Cavern, and completing this level unlocks a labyrinth of connected Stone-Eyes on the overworld map that serve as the location for both Goomba and Fire Bro enemy courses. Navigating the enemy courses unlocks Spike's Spouting Sands and Dry Desert Mushrooms.

  • Star Coin 2: The player must rotate the third screw, then run to the left and Wall Jump up in order to collect the second Star Coin.
  • Star Coin 3: Above the Checkpoint Flag, the player must rotate the screw next to some quicksand. It causes the Screwtop Platform next to it to rise.

Then, by carefully avoiding them, the player must go left and grab the third Star Coin.
