Layout
The players start on cloud platforms, with spikes all around them. The players must proceed to a tube where a Hoppycat inhabits. When the players are on it, it will travel along the rail and above another tube where a Hoppycat inhabits. This second tube will travel on a longer path. This path has Trompettes that can fall on the tube and act as obstacles for the players. Lots of spikes also appear along the way. There are Long ? Blocks along the way, with some of them containing Elephant Fruits. Near the end of the tube's path is a Hoppycat on the ceiling of a pipe, which the players must avoid. The solid ground afterwards has the Checkpoint Flag.
Beyond the Checkpoint Flag is another tube where another Hoppycat inhabits. The path the tube travels has more spikes, as well as Big Goombas and Goombas gliding from the right side of the screen on parachutes. The tube will pass over more cloud platforms, where a ? Block and a Brick Block are. The ? Block contains the Wonder Flower and obtaining it will start the Wonder Effect. In this Wonder Effect, the players become Hoppycats and can jump really high into the sky. The players must climb up cloud platforms and pipes, with several of them moving. There are also gold bricks that they must break to progress upward. This Wonder Effect also has a time limit of one hundred and twenty seconds. The Wonder Seed is found at the very top, and obtaining it will end the Wonder Effect, turning the players back to normal and causing them to free fall back to the tube below. The tube will continue progress as usual, and more spikes, Goombas and Big Goombas arrive on parachutes. Near the end of the path, a Hoppycat will fall onto the tube the players are on, acting as an obstacle for them. The Goal Pole is found after getting back to solid ground, where spaced out cloud platforms can be used to reach the top of the Goal Pole.
Hidden Character Blocks
- A Mario Hidden Character Block can be found right after the Checkpoint Flag of the level. It is floating five blocks above the right ? Block that is spawned when the player touches the Wow Bud. It contains a single flower coin.
- A Yellow Yoshi Hidden Character Block can be found by the Goal Pole of the level. It is located on the second block row of solid ground nearby. It functions as a step to try again to aim for the top of the Goal Pole. It contains a single flower coin.
10-flower coins
- 10-flower coin 1: Found below spikes where a Trompette roams on. The player must defeat the Trompette to make it fall and collect the coin for the player.
- 10-flower coin 2: Found not far after the first coin, also surrounded by spikes. The player will have to time their jumps to launch the Hoppycat and defeat the Trompette, which will fall backwards, collecting the coin for the player.
- 10-flower coin 3: Found before the Goal Pole, above a ? Block. The player must break two Brick Blocks and strike the ? Block by launching the Hoppycat. Once hit, the ? block will propel upwards and collect the coin for the player.
