You'll find a Switch Block inside one of the blocks. Climb the vine and smash the block on the platform above.

3: Stomp the Buster Beetle into submission before bumping the block that spawns a vine.

( Note: If you hit the Switch Block before you hit the Munchers, they will still turn into coins as soon as you thaw them out as long as the Switch Block is still activated.) Fling some fireballs at the ice-encased Munchers to thaw them, then head back to climb the vine and stomp the Switch Block. If you're Super Mario, you'll snag a Fire Flower that will soon come in handy.

2: Before you climb the vine to the Switch Block, clear the path of enemies and drill your way to the other side.

1: Hit the block that contains the power-up from the bottom right so that the treasure slides to the left.

If you bring the right kind of fire power in this stage, you can trade it in for an upgrade if you know where to look. Beware of the fish lurking below-if you get tagged, all of your effort will be wasted.Ī cold snap has frozen Bowser's coins and the Munchers that protect them. It'll sink quickly, so dive in after it and collect it before it gets away.

5: Bounce on the Jump Block-a power-up will drop to the water.

Stuff as many coins into your pocket as you can before the Switch Block times out.

All of the Munchers will be transformed into coins. Stomp the Switch Block and drop quickly to the floor.

Use the new block to get at the Switch Block above. Be careful not to fall into the toothy beasts as you come back down. 4: Jump above the Munchers to hit an Invisible Block.Go down the pipe to enter a large room (shown right) filled with coins and a block that yields three 1-Ups. If you have one hanging in your closet, slip on a Frog Suit to swim through the swift current and reach a hidden pipe. The jump requires perfect accuracy-if you land short or long, you're a goner. 2: Don't land on the Munchers! Leap from the left wooden pillar to the right one.It takes very precise timing, but it's possible to scale the wall by jumping at just the right moment along the cracks in the ice.įile:SMB3 W6 S9 b.png File:SMB3 W6 S9 d.png On the NES version of the game, it is possible for extremely skilled players to make it up to the top of the ice using Small Mario.Bump the block and grab the 1-Up while you're on top, then run to the right to cut directly to the end of the stage.

1: To reach the 1-Up and the shortcut to the end of the stage, use a P-Wing or Raccoon Suit to fly to the area atop the Ice Blocks.

Either the P-Wing or the Frog Suit will give you a bonus in this world. Some stages have it all: ice climbing, ice diving, and ice gardening.
