Special World 3-1
This stage features swinging blue platforms, so I highly suggest entering the level with Tanooki Power. Starting off using the top swinging platforms, don’t even risk trying to drop off to the lower platform, as there is only Coins there and it’s not worth the danger involved. The first Collectable is hard to nab without Tanooki Power, if you have Tanooki Power you can float into it, as you’ll see it between two of the swinging platforms. Without it, you should be able to simply run at full speed and keep running off the edge of the swinging platform (at it’s height) and drop through the Collectable and onto the next platform. Simply don’t stop holding forward and running. You’ll see the second Collectable soon after, it will be floating above a Coin Box. Don’t worry about hitting the Coin Box, as it only contains a single Coin, simply leap over it and grab the Collectable. In the following section, you’ll see a string of Ladybug enemies (called Biddybudds). If you bounce on all of their heads you’ll earn a 1Up. I suggest against this however (though its easy to do if you have Tanooki).
Here you’ll see the path branch, where you see the string of Biddybudds. Go straight to continue on the main path, or head left if you want extras. Go left and you’ll see a Red Coin Ring (which you must jump through while the platform swings; DANGEROUS!), the Red Coins will appear along the colored platforms (off the swinging platform), leading up to three breakable bricks. Collect them all to earn a 1Up or a Power-Up. Once back on the main path, you’ll have to cross a series of Donut Blocks before reaching a series of swinging blue platforms. You’ll notice the third and final Collectable below you. To get it, I suggest making sure the swinging platform has just swung left, and then simply walking off the edge and falling to the Collectable. As always, I suggest doing this with Tanooki Power. The next leap can be very tricky. Wait until the platform has swung back to the left, and then wait for it to swing right again. Before it has swung all the way right is when you need to leap towards the next platform. If you don’t have Tanooki Power I suggest a Long Jump. Repeat this process until you reach the Flagpole!
Special World 3-2
This is a very easy stage and a stage you want to keep in mind. Because it is so easy, you can earn two easy Statue Tanooki Suits here, so I suggest ALWAYS coming back to this stage whenever you need powering up! REMEMBER THIS!
Right off the bat, be sure to use the floating Para Goomba enemies to reach the next platform, if you are Tanooki don’t kill them, use them as stepping stones if you must. In the next area, you’ll find a Power-Up located in the Question Mark Block atop the high platform (use the floating block next to it to get on top). Do not try to leap to the spinning red block without being on the higher level here. You’ll find the first Collectable on the floating above the spinning blue platform to the right of the long green one. The part with the yellow block, remember to go under it and don’t try to jump on top of it. When you reach the tall green spinning platform, leap onto the left side even if it looks like you can’t make it, but only if the right side is coming toward you, and then jump or long jump ontop of it. Directly after the Checkpoint Flag you’ll find the second Collectable, leap from the ledge and use the three blocks at the top to get it. Now you are nearly at the end. The first long spinning red platform contains a Power-Up, grab it! Last but not least, you’ll find the third Collectable following, once again, the long green platform and you’ll see it floating atop the red spinning platform on the left side.
