PrinceWatercress plays Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 - Part 9 of 16


The stages are still short, but at least they're getting more interesting.

Stove Canyon (continued)

Course No. 23


It's mine cart madness! This is my favorite level in the game, and that's probably because I have the level design memorized down-pat in addition to having clear memories of paying this inches away from a lamp while sitting on a couch as a kid.

The mine carts get you through the level faster. Thankfully, you can defeat the bats by jumping on top of them. Don't worry about dying if you land on the rails. Apparently, these are wooden mine carts, so there aren't any live wires involved. (Finally, an exception to the rule involving mine cart rail lines in a game!)

The blocks with the smiley faces in the ground are springs. Whenever you walk on top of one, you'll get launched into the sky.

Anyway, the last mine cart takes you to another one. Wait for it to come close to falling into the lava, then make your way to the lower road. Jump onto the spring block, and you'll be launched upwards to the secret exit. If you miss it, you'll just run into the normal exit nearby.

Course No. 24


Once again, the keyhole to Treasure H is at the very beginning. To open it up, enter the second section and climb the ladder. Keep going to the right and climb up another ladder, then hit the ! Switch. Enter the door to the left of it and the room will have a pool of water inside. Swim to the right, and you'll find two blocks. The one on the right contains the key. From there, you can easily head back to the beginning and get another chalice.

Now you can go right past the ladder and finish the level off normally.

Course No. 25


Be careful in the first section. There are a lot of moving platforms, falling bridge segments and Podaboos here.

To beat the boss, wait for that big rock face to twitch his nose. He'll shoot a boulder out of it. Toss it at his nose to hit him. After three hits, he'll go down. As he moves from one side to the other and back again, he'll try to break a portion of the rock bridge you're standing on with his tongue. If a portion gets hit by his tongue twice, it's gone. Thankfully, you can wait for him to do this to get a good shot at him with the boulder. After another coin rush, we'll finally be heading off to the S.S. Tea Cup!
