Quick notes
- Make three platforms with Cloud Mario. A Cloud Flower supplies three small clouds that can become platforms when you spin.
- Line up a Rock Mario roll. The Rock Mushroom lets Mario become a rolling boulder with a shake of the Wii Remote.
- Check the other side before drilling. The Spin Drill sends Mario through suitable ground to emerge on the opposite side.
- Match Yoshi’s fruit to the route. Dash Peppers create a fast red Yoshi for steep runs.
On cloud routes, keep one charge in reserve for a missed landing whenever the level allows it.
