Midway Points and Goals

Not all courses have midway points
*
When you reach a midway point on a course, a flag will appear on the
action screen, and the midway point will appear on your progress bar.
If you replay the course, you'll start from the midway point. However,
if you play another course and then return to this course, you'll have
to start from the beginning.
Every course has a goal at the end. When you reach the end of a course,
face the pole and jump as high as you can. The higher Mario grabs on to
the pole, the more points you'll earn.
