Start off by advancing to the right until you reach a series of four ? blocks.

Flip to turn it in to 16 blocks and hit them for some coins. Now, coins aren't

all you'll find. You'll also find PAL PILLS, a FAST FLOWER (opposite of what

the Slow Flower did, but you still get your triple points and coins) and a

HAPPY FLOWER. Now, you'll reach a huge red tree here. I must ask you to trust

me when I say, that if you continue to the right, you will follow a long path

that rewards you with nothing more than a sign, that tells you to come all the

way back here and "leapeth under its branches 10 times". So do that - jump 10

times to make a door appear and go on in. Note: If you did choose to go all

the way to the signpost, you would have found a COURAGE SHELL there, which

reduces damage you take by half temporarily, but in my opinion, it's not worth

going all that way for it.



Once through the door, go on to find a spring which leads to an unneccessary

series of turning squares/rectangles. Jump in to the sand and flip to get to

the other side quicker.



The second and third ? blocks have coins, but don't bother with the first, it's

an enemy. Move on to find a very long quicksand pit. You may either choose to

jump across it by jumping over and over again, or by flipping and crossing by

the newly seen path. When you get to the end, jump over the short wall to get

to a spring that you can use to get to a block floating in the air. Stand on it

and use Thoreau to hit the switch and get the contraption working. Use it to

get over the wall. The ? block here has a mushroom, so take that if you want.

When you get to the save block, flip to get to the blocks above and go in to

the pipe at the end. Once inside, flip to find a bunch of ? blocks and hit them

to get coins (one is a multi-hit block) as well as one containing a Super

Shroom. Leave and save before going through the door, since we've got our first

miniboss fight coming up...



He's quite a smart one, isn't he? Well, we won't be getting chunked today. To

beat him, use Thoreau to throw him and make him mad, then jump on him. Just

toss him around a bit and do some jumping and this battle is won - just don't

let him throw YOU around too much. But it shouldn't be too much of a problem

seeing as how his attack is only 1. By now you should have 15 or 20 HP. But,

you know, in the future, this guy will be more annoying to fight since he'll be

stronger, and still do his little fancy-pants taunting each time he throws you

around. Now, let him make his exit so we can end this confrontation...and quite

an exit he makes.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~...

Well, now that that's over, the door here will lead you to a new area where

you can go left or right. Go left, and flip to find a GHOST SHROOM behind a

rock. Take it if you want, and use the platforms to go through the door at the

end. The door will lead you to a signpost that tells you to, at a distant

blue platform, (flip to see the rest) press - and 1 at the same time. Easy

enough. If you like, you can keep going left and flip to find 5 coin blocks. Go

back the way you came.



Back with the yellow platforms, go all the way to the right, and use the spring

to jump to the platforms and use those to reach the door, which you'll enter.



Once through, go to the left and you'll reach the platform the signpost

mentioned. Stand on top, and press - and 1 at the same time, as it said.

Move onwards to reach the STAR BLOCK, and end this section.
Reply:Try flipping into 3D. That usually reveals something.
