Baby Yoshi :

Introducing Baby Yoshi. This little chubba can turn into a big ballon and let you float up in the air. You can also continue to float via B button for a bit. Problem is you MUST hold him the whole time.

! Acorn Secret !

How to Enter Bloopers Lair :

Simple enough, easier said and taught then discovered yourself.

Head to Level 2-1 Tilted Tunnel. Head to the area I said to REMEMBER earlier in this guide. Once again it is the Red Loop area, where all the red coins appear. Your going to want to Jump over that loop. You will land on a platform ABOVE.

Now it gets a little more tricky. The Camera will NOT show you where to go next. To the right is a bunch of coins and the normal exit. But if you notice an INCLINED blue surface seems to be made of crystal. Run up the Incline and jump to another platform. The Camera will then move showing you the path way.

Follow the path way to the end, and the signs. Run into the End flag. After a cutscene will come up, and entrance to the secret area bloopers lair will now be accessible.

Blooper's Secret Lair

Suits:

Fire Suit will be appearing here and your going to need it.

Area Enemies

-Bloopers

-Blooper Family

(@) Head into the pipe, and start swimming to first ? block. Hit it for either a super mushroom or fire mushroom you will need them.

(@) Keep heading right dodging the 3 ZOOMING bloopers that shoot out at MARIO. Dodge them and be careful. Hit the next ? block for the fire mushroom. *NOTE* In this level it would be wise to take things slower then normal.

Star Coin #1

(*) You should see the star coin uptop the yellow pipe. It's pretty easy to get, just swim while the pipes are blowing in the direction of the Star Coin.

Star Coin #2

(**) Let the Pipes water thrust mario to get through towards the next star coin. You should see one that looks impossible to get. To make the impossible possible, head below the red pipeline. Make sure you do NOT go to low. Swim Across from the bottom of the red pipe to the Star Coin.

(o) Red Coin Loop is past the Star, it is an easy one let the pipes thrust mario into them all. Collect the easy 1UP at the end. Be weary of the blooper ! Then go up the green pipe.

Star Coin #3

(***) This one is a little tough. I suggest having fire mario. Taking out the bloopers. Then head through the pipe on the left. It is near a row of coins and 2 other pipes with no thrusting water. Once inside will be a family of bloopers 2x. Avoid them the coins are NOT worth it. Collect the Star Coin for # 3.

(1) Head up the GREEN pipe to exit the level. Run across the sign. Take it all the way to the end level flag.

Lemmy's Castle

Suits:

- Flying Squirrel Suit

This will be the suit that drops in this level. It is also important to have this one for ALL star coin collection.

Area Enemies

-Skeleton Koopas

-Lava Man

-Lemmy Koopa

(^ ^) Enter the castle and pick up the first ? block which contains the Squirrel suit.

(I) Before the next ? block. Head up into the small crevice in the ceiling. Head left and pick up a coin cache.

Star Coin #1

(*) In between two swinging blue platforms. Get some speed and jump to nab it. Or use the squirrel suits hover ability.

Checkpoint

Your going to have to either be pretty good at jumping or using the Squirrel suit to get past the blue swings. I recommend the Squirrel suit, it is a bit easier and also faster if your good. Once near the end you will see the, Checkpoint flag. Run through it for the save.

(^ ^) Be Sure to pick up the squirrel suit, near the star coin. It is also right after the check flag.

Star Coin #2

(**) Have the squirrel suit and head to the RIGHT of the coin. From there gain some speed and jump at it to the left. Wall kick back to the right, then hover to the original platform. This is the easiest way I found to do it, get used to the wall kick.

(o) Run through the red coin loop ring. There will be swings. Take it slow here and carefully. We want to collect them all. the first 6 are easy, just kind of flow into them. The 7th coin, is more tricky so be careful. Pick up the final easy one. Then, collect your 1UP mushroom.

Star Coin #3

(***) After the red coin loop head right. More blue swings. After some platforming you will see a green pipe in the lava. Jump down into it SMOOTHLY. This one is a little difficult. Just make sure to dodge the lava man. Squirrel suit helps out due to hover ability and air lift. Exit via the YELLOW pipe. Finally Head right through the giant blue boss door.

Lemmy Koopa : Boss # 1 Vs Mario The #1 Plumber

Lemmy throws star colored bombs at mario. You can jump on them to disable them. He will also be on a yellow ball. He moves just, a little spratically.

The Key to beating lemmy is Jumping on his head. It is simple enough you just want to dodge the bombs, or disable them with a jump.

After being jumped on. Lemmy will spin in his shell back and forth. This is easy enough to dodge with basic jump moves.

Finally for Round # 3. Lemmy will get a HUGE star, colored bomb. You can still jump on these but it is more difficult. Especially note that Lemmy Koopa throws the bombs even faster. Just time yourself and get that final jump in on Lemmy's head.
