Template:Levelbox Pendulum Castle, or Superstar Road-8, is the eighth course of Superstar Road in New Super Mario Bros. U. It is unlocked when the player collects every Star Coin in Peach's Castle.

Layout

The course is based off of the castle levels throughout the game, specifically The Final Battle. The level begins next to a large Spinner above a pit and platforms made of Donut Blocks. A platform with two Bony Beetles and a ? Block is found, along with a smaller Spinner above Donut Blocks. A Brick Block and another small Spinner are found. The player must cross more Donut Blocks, where they encounter Bony Beetles and a Spinner. A ? Block above a Bony Beetle is encountered before an area with Donut Blocks under multiple Spinners. More Bony Beetles are found in the area. Another Spinner appears before a ? Block and a Brick Block. Some smaller Donut Block platforms must be crossed while avoiding Spinners. A Bony Beetle is found, followed by a large Spinner above some platforms consisting of a single Donut Block. Another large Spinner is found next to a ? Switch, which causes red blocks to appear above the pit below. A Warp Pipe is then found. Entering the pipe leads to a path of Donut Blocks and the Goal Pole.

Star Coins

  • Star Coin 1: The first Star Coin is located below a row of Donut Lifts and a pair of Spinners.
  • Star Coin 2: Directly after the first Star Coin, the player should wall jump into a hidden area with a Warp Pipe. In there, the star coin is blocked off by three giant Spinners. A Super Star, which can be found in the ? Block on the other side of the area, is required in order to safely obtain the second Star Coin.
  • Star Coin 3: At the end of the stage, the player needs to hit an orange ? Switch to make red blocks appear. These red blocks will allow the player to cross the bottomless pit and reach the final Star Coin.
