WORLD 8

World 8

Tank
Tank
There aren't any secrets, just an auto-scrolling stage where you have to jump from tank to tank while avoiding bullets and stuff. It's one of the hardest levels in the game, and a good choice of levels to use your P-wing.

Battleship

You can dive in the water between the first and second ship, then swim underneath the next two to avoid everything being thrown at you.


Prepare to be grabbed
Hand Traps

While crossing the black squares in the World Map, there's a random chance a hand will grab you and take you to a little stage. None of them have any secrets, but you get a Super Leaf for completing them. If you can, be fire mario for these levels (especially the first.)
Airship

If you have a P-wing, use it to get past this difficult timing stage. The Airship
Hit the switch and drop downLevel 1

Fly straight up at the beginning to find a P-switch. Hit it to reveal a bunch of silver coins.

Fly up and to the right from the beginning to reach the top of the really tall pipe. Go down it to find three 1-ups. When you come out of the pipe, to the right is a flat bit, there is just enough room to take off to fly over the rest of the level.

To make the hard jump near the end, get a running start, make a small jump onto the Note Block, then soar into the air while holding Right.
Don't worryLevel 2

Sink into the quicksand pit. No, you won't die. You'll fall into a secret room. Take the left pipe if you want a power-up or the right pipe if you want coins. This is also a shortcut that leads to near the end.

If you didn't take the shortcut, the P-switch will turn the single coins into stepping stones over the wide pit.

Run down the hill at the end to get enough momentum to fly over the final large gap.
Hit the switch then go through the doorHit the switch for loadsa coins
Mini Fortress
  • Go all the way to the door on the far right. Above it is a P-switch. Hit it and go through the door. You have just enough room to take off.
  • Quickly jump to the door on the right and go through it to find a 1-up block. Go back through the door again.
  • Go right until you find a small gap with a door on the right side. Jump over the gap, now smash the blocks with your tail, then get the invinciblity.
  • Go to the right until you find a P-switch. Hit it and then run all the way to the farthest right door. It only appears when the P-switch is active. Go through it to find the boss.

    No secrets here.

    Take this route1-UP
    Level 8
  • Run to the right without stopping to avoid the statues' laser beams.
  • Bound up the stairs but don't enter the door. A lift will take you up this passage. Jump off to the right. Ride the donut lift down and jump off.
  • Jump up these stairs being careful of the Roto-Discs. At the very top is a hidden 1-up next to the right wall. Go down the stairs and then head to the right to reach the giant lava pit.
  • You will have to jump over lots of Donut Lifts here. You have a choice of four routes to take.
  • Topmost route: Leads to a door which takes you to the last section before Bowser's room.
  • Second route: Jump over the little gap to find a power-up. Then fall down to intersect with the Third route.
  • Third route: Ride the Donut Lift down and jump off. Jump over the gaps to find a room which takes you to the last section before Bowser's room. (This section is different from the one you get if you take the top route.)
  • Bottom route: Takes you to a door which forces you back to the beginning!

    • BowserBowser
    Bowser
    When he jumps, his weight shatters some of the bricks in the floor. If you are big, you can simply duck when he falls on top of you, and he won't hurt you. You have to be careful of his flames, though. Eventually, Bowser will fall through the floor and you've won!
