Hammerswing Caverns, or Superstar Road-4, is the fourth course of Superstar Road in New Super Mario Bros. U. It is unlocked when the player collects every Star Coin in Frosted Glacier.
Layout[edit]
The course is based on the course Icicle Caverns from Frosted Glacier. The level begins outside, with a Warp Pipe leading to the icy underground area. To the left of the Warp Pipe is a hidden area with a ? Block that contains a 1-Up Mushroom. Two Huge Icicles fall onto platforms, with a ? Block found above a platform in between. Two Hammer Pendulums are found, and one can be used to reach a ? Block above an icy platform. Another Huge Icicle is found next to a small one, along with a group of Koopa Troopas. More Hammer Pendulums are found, and are used to cross above a pit. Another Huge Icicle falls onto a platform, and a Buzzy Beetle can be found nearby. A group of icicles is found above a pit crossed by two Hammer Pendulums. A Buzzy Beetle is found underneath Brick Blocks, followed by a Hammer Pendulum on a track. Four icicles and a ? Block are found as the Hammer Pendulum moves. A slope with multiple Buzzy Beetles and icicles on it is encountered, followed by a two Huge Icicles. A Green Ring is found before another Hammer Pendulum on a track. Two Hammer Pendulums are found before another one on a track, and a P Switch can be used to cause Blue Coins to appear. A Paratroopa and a Warp Pipe are found. The player is led back outside, where a Hammer Pendulum and the Goal Pole are found.
Alternatively, the player can use a P-Acorn to fly up above the wall before the pipe leading underground, which will lead to the end of the level.
Star Coins[edit]
- Star Coin 1: The first Star Coin is near the beginning of the level. After the player passes the first set of double swinging platforms, there is a slightly transparent alcove. The player should jump into the hidden alcove in the ceiling.
- Star Coin 2: The player will need to use a flight powerup such as Flying Squirrel Mario to glide under a ledge and reach a Warp Pipe that contains the second Star Coin. A P Switch must be pressed to turn the Brick Blocks blocking it into coins.
- Star Coin 3: The final Star Coin is found at the end of the level. The player can reach the wall beside it with a running start and wall-jump to it. The player can use a flight powerup to reach it as well.
