Note: There is an additional 1-Up Mushroom hidden in the GBA version of the game at the top of the starting segment of the world, before you enter the pipe.The spade game has eight possible combonations.

How would you cross such an obstacle? With Starman's help of course. Imagine an unbroken field of hundreds of indestructible Munchers, stretching farther than the eye can see.

Grab hold of a Starman and dash across an acre of man-eating crops. Watch out for spikes as you transition onto the next Directional Lift. Move your Directional Lift so that it climbs out of reach of the carnivorous weeds.

6: Make your way up and around the Piranha Plant-infested pipes.

Note that if your Small Mario, the power-up to the right will always fall down where it can easily be collected. Be ready to leap onto another Directional Lift as soon as the current one peters out. Navigate around the ? Blocks and up through the gap in the ceiling.

5: Hop on the Directional Lift to change it's direction, but watch out for the spikes above-there's very little headroom.

When you comes around on the right side of the screen, jump to enter the pipe. Drop back onto the lift as it passes left, then crouch.

4: Hop on the Directional Lift to activate it, wait for the Piranha Plant to sink, then jump on the pipe.

3: As you ride the Directional Lift up, move from side to side to avoid the spikes.

The Directional Lift you were on will continue upwards and you can remount and ride it to the halfway point of the world. Before you hit your head on the pipe above you, jump up and around it.

Watch out for the Koopa Troopas as you ascend the staircase.

1: Go left from the start to reach the stairs.
