As we make our way over the bridge across the lake, we also head back to Star Road to open up more of the path there.

Soda Lake
This is the only course in the game where you will meet Torpedo Ted. The black squares with the skull and crossbones contain hands that drop torpedoes, which will then come at your general direction. Unlike Bullet Bill, you cannot destroy Torpedo Ted at all.
The only enemies you will meet here are the scuba mask fish, but you can easily get rid of them.
Beating this area will take you to the third Star Road entrance and course.
Vanilla Dome
I forgot to do Star World 2! Let's do Star World 2!
Star Road
Star World 2
This is a very, very easy and straightforward underwater area. You can get a blue Baby Yoshi here, and feed him with the Starman at the beginning, or you can feed him with the fish here. I recommend trying to get lives with the Starman first, then saving the baby Yoshi for when the Starman's power runs out.
There are two exits. The pipe leads to the normal exit, but if you dive under it, you'll find the key and keyhole that takes you to Star World 3.
Star World 3
This area is super short. If you go straight to the right, you'll take the traditional exit. But if you take a block and kick it up at the Lakitu in the cloud, you can then jump into the cloud and ride it with the Control Pad. It doesn't last forever, though, so be careful. Just fly upwards, and you can hit the block to get the key for the keyhole on the right. This will take you to Star World 4.
Also, you can get a yellow Yoshi here. Just feed it the Spinys that the Lakitu throws.
Mountains of Dinosaur Land/Twin Bridges
Cookie Mountain
Shortly after the beginning, you'll meet a new enemy: the Sumo Brother. These guys will move a little bit to the left or the right while doing karate chops, and then they will stop the ground. They are usually on high platforms, and when they do their sumo stomp, a lightning bolt drops from below and covers quite a bit of ground. The best way - and the only way - to defeat a Sumo Brother normally is to hit the block they are standing on from below, as they will usually be standing on blocks.
There are also a ton of Monty Moles here. Be careful, and have a Fire Flower handy.
If you enter the blue pipe after the checkpoint, you'll be going into a swimming area with two of those spiny fish. This is not a good idea at first, since you will be going backwards when you exit and you will be at the top of the green pipe when you come back. However, if you jump to the cloud platforms to the right and move slowly to the right from there, you can get four 1-Ups and not just the one like I originally thought.
Sometimes, when you eat a pink berry with Yoshi, you can get a tiny cloud to pop up. It will drop coins with happy faces on them that count as regualr coins, and if you can collect them all, the cloud will give you a 1-Up before it flies away.
Be very careful with the Chargin' Chuck at the end, as he can split into three.
