If you timed right, Mario should flip onto a platform above him. When you reach the peak of the revolution, jump. On the first 'vertical merry-go-round' (the one with the visible life in the middle), duck. On the third Bowser, I find a small part of the level very annoying, so I found a way to skip it. To make Mario do a belly flop, do a sideflip but press A and B simultaneously. From there, jump onto the round spinning block and you'll basically be at the point where the first carpet drops away. Now, jump so you land on the stone block next to the pole.
Shortcut In Rainbow RideĪt the very beginning, turn away from the first carpet. 9:00 - The mechanical parts of the level will move quickly. 6:00 - The mechanical parts of the level will move erratically. 3:00 - The mechanical parts of the level will move slowly. Jumping into the Tick Tock Clock level during different times on the clock face will yield different effects:ġ2:00 - The mechanical parts of the level will stop. Now go into the castle door and comeback out again to get another life, you can keep on doing this forever. When you start a game outside of the castle go to the third tree from the waterfall climb it and get the extra life. If you angle it right you should be able to punch to the bullie off, but he wont be able to reach you.
When fighting the bully on this level get the bully to see you, then quickly hop back on the ramp area.
