![]() It’s time to make it rain, weatherman! A new seedling has just appeared across from the sandy pit. But be warned, not all bubbles will take you where you need to go. You can watch the shadows on the ground to see approximately where they appear next, and jump on top as they do. To reach the 3 tall platforms in the sand pit, you will need to ride on top of the bubbles that are constantly spawning. 2 coins on the rock pillars around the creepy hand pit (be careful, they are very close to the edge).3 coins on the tall platforms above the sand pit.1 coin on the cloudy platform to the left, after crossing the sand pit.While definitely not the most “nightmarish” 8 red coin level, it does require some skill or at the very least a little patience. Climb on top of him with a strategic wall kick, and he will take you all the way up to the star. You will be transported through time and the Thwomp is now all grown up. Cross the bridge and long jump to the pipe on the left. (If you feel like you will be going around in circles you are half right, you are time travelling after all.) You will reach your final destination when you arrive in the room with the baby Thwomp. Dive into the pipe, and continue on to the next, because as mentioned, there is nowhere else you could really go and nothing else you could really do. This will be the beginning of a “complicated” maze, where you will only really have one choice at all times. Head to the island with the freaky hands, and keep left to find the time portal archway. ![]() (The solution, in case music is not your strong suit: hit the note on the middle tree 3 times, the short tree on the left once, back to the middle tree once, then climb up the rock to the right to long jump to the note of the tall tree on the right side.) Hit the musical notes in the correct sequence, and a star will appear. If you’ve ever read sheet music before, you may notice that there is a direct relation between the height of the trees and the placement of the notes on the scales, 3 notes – 3 trees. Make your way back and go around the sand pit to find the musical note trees. There you will find the sheet music on the wall. Make your way to the creepy hand island, keep left and go through the pink archway. ![]() The cut scene pretty much sums up the whole level, and it’s pretty straight forward. To get a view of what switches are still left, you can look up after you land. If you are lucky enough to land on a switch, take a look around first because another one may be in reach. The good news, as long as you don’t hit the wall you will safely glide all the way down. You must touch all 5 to get the star, which is easier said than done. As you may have noticed on your first way down, there are a series of switches tucked into the walls of the pit. And when they say it is bottomless they mean it! Actually, not so much bottomless, more of an endless loop of the same pit (it’s like a bad sequel to the movie Groundhog Day :) I suggest not collecting those coins just yet because you may need them later. Keeping left, triple jump your way across a series of cloudy platform until you reach the stairs that take you to the bottomless pit. Make your way across the sandy pit and onto the island in front. When the first path ends, look for another green cube to continue your journey to the star. If the path seems to be going back down, it will rise again (usually slightly diagonally) and you can jump directly onto it when it reappears. If you are not a great at jumping, try to stay on the foremost square so you can ride it upwards. Don’t linger too much, because as the path is revealed before you, it disappears from behind. The premise is very simple, step on the green cube and try to keep up with the pathway that extends from then on. ![]() Be aware of the Hand Spider just waiting to charge at Mario! Unlike other enemies, this guy won't fall off the edge. As you enter the level to your left you will notice two very conveniently placed arrow signposts showing you the way.
