World Map
You can move to a different
world by tapping one from
this map. You cannot move
to courses marked in black.

Towers / Castles

Mario battles Bowser Jr. at the end
of each tower course, and he fights
different bosses at the end of each
castle course. You'll be able to save
( page 16) once you complete a
tower or castle course.
Flying ? Blocks / Hammer Bros.
If you see the Flying ? Block
or a Hammer Bro. on a course
marker on the map screen, then
you'll know the block or bro will
appear somewhere on that course.
Check your progress bar for the
mark to see where they might be.
Toad House
Along the way, you'll see different Toad Houses where
you can get items. Hit blocks or panels on-screen to
get items. In the green Toad House, you can earn a lot
of 1-Ups, but be careful: if you hit the block with the
Bowser card, the minigame will end. You'll get to keep
your 1-Ups, but you won't get to hit any more blocks.

Star Coin Signs

Pay the number of Star Coins
shown on these signs, and they'll
vanish from the board to open new
paths. Once you spend the Star
Coins, you can save your progress.
