It is not necessary to use all characters at the same time (also because it is impossible). If at some point you use all 5 characters of the level (Mario, Luigi, Toad, Peach and Rosalina) the green star symbol will turn golden, along with the rest of the flagpole. The symbol on the flag will also change depending on which character was used to complete the level or, if you are playing in multiplayer mode, depending on which player has climbed to the highest point of the flag pole. If you get all green stars in a level, a spinning green star will appear above the flag pole, replacing the metal sphere. When you reach the top of a flagpole, it will appear gold on the game map, rather than the color of your character. You can then play as Luigi by completing World 8. After jumping through the poisonous water there will be a red warp tube waiting for you, and in this way you can finally reach World 5.įrom the Super Mario 3D World start menu screen, you can play a slightly modified version of the title originally released for NES, Nintendo Mario Bros., titled Luigi Bros.

After exiting the underground part (the one with the checkpoint flag) you will exit a warp tube containing a transparent mystery box. To reach World 5 through the umpteenth secret passage offered by Super Mario 3D World you will first have to wear the cat suit. Run along the back wall to find a red warp pipe. Above this Koopa there is a crack, difficult to spot, located in the ceiling. On the opposite side are three long invisible blocks against the rear wall use them to reach the upper path with a lone Koopa patrolling the area. Near the end of the underground section of the level is a pipe that splits into two paths, one with a pipe containing coins. The cat costume is required to activate this portal, so find one in World 1-1 at Super Bell Hill and keep it in your inventory, or wear it to pass the level. In Super Mario 3D World there are several secret exits and areas of warp, or warp room, represented by red tubes, generally well hidden.

This is the final and most difficult level of the entire gameplay experience and can be unlocked once you have earned all the green stars, stamps and gold flags in all previous levels. The level in question is called Super Galaxy and she awaits you at the end of the level. Rosalina can be unlocked as a playable character in Super Mario 3D World by completing level 2 in Star World. As long as you are facing the right direction (East or West) the shell will bounce back and forth very quickly.

There is also an alternative method: you can get more lives (about 900) if you throw the first shell through the tube, so that it bounces back and forth on the edge of the lower tube. You will need to go back to level 2 twice in order to fill your lives up to the amount of 1,110, because time will run out once you reach 600 lives on the first try. All this will yield you infinite "1-Up ”, Until you decide to leave! You don't have to press anything else and, by doing so, you will bounce off the Koopa's shell never touching the ground while bouncing endlessly on the back wall. Jump onto the platform with the Goomba and climb the back wall while standing in front of the three brick blocks (press the D-pad up to aim directly at the wall). Kill the Goomba, then jump onto the green Koopa and steal its shell.
