After the row of blocks is a stone pillar followed by a couple of pipes, and another Lakitu will appear in this area is the previous one was defeated. Through the second Warp Pipe is an underground area with some coins and another power-up in the block above the exit pipe. After the entrance pipe is a row of blocks, with the third from the left also containing a power-up. After the exit pipe are some gaps and another stone pillar before the stone stairs leading to the flagpole, which has a Coin Block before it.
