The Albatoss makes its gameplay debut...and it's pretty interesting how Albatosses are used in this game. Also, other enemies get used as platforms. The kid gloves are off.
World 5-1
As soon as you enter the cave, your jumping and platforming skills will be put to the ultimate test as you have to jump from log to log on a giant waterfall while avoiding a whole gaggle of bottomless pits. There are a few Trouters jumping up and down out of the pits, and you'll have to be careful using them as platforms.
The two mushrooms are slightly to the right of the tiny platform at the top of the waterfall (which has a 1-Up if you need one) and the right hand gap in the ceiling shortly fterwards. You'll have to jump to the ceiling from a log at the top of the waterfall to get up there to begin with, then jump to the gap and grab the mushroom block to open up the path so you can get the mushroom to drop down to you.
The Birdo here is gray. You'll need to use the mushroom block to defeat Birdo here, as they will be spitting out fireballs exclusively.
World 5-2
Here, you'll be dealing with a few Hoopsters that are climbing up and down the trees, and you'll have to use a few as platforms to get around, as well.
The first mushroom for this stage is to the right of the pot; get the potion at the bottom of the pot, then go right past the pit and place the door there to get it. The second mushroom is on the platform after the Panzer.
After a long climb up some vines, you'll have to grab a POW Block and drop back down. Avoid the spikes and be careful once the path opens up; if you need to, go to the right (but not all the way) to make getting to the door here easier.
Birdo is red here.
World 5-3
You'll have to ride an Albatoss to the pot at the start, but if you can get a potion there, you can warp all the way to World 7. Otherwise, stay on the move to avoid the dropping Bob-ombs. The mushrooms here are left of where you find the potion and at the left edge of the top platform before the ladder leading underground, which is not far at all from the first mushroom's location. You'll need to bomb the first wall to get it.
Eventually, you'll have to go through another dungeon to get to the other side. Be careful and avoid the Shyguys and the Sparks that lurk around every corner as you make your way to the top. If you need to, cover up a basket spawning the Shyguys with a mushroom block. Use your ability to wrap around the screen to avoid the pink Panzers, and watch out for those fireballs!
You'll then have to ride a Pidgit's magic carpet over a pit to jump across some cloud platforms to a red Birdo. After that, you'll face Clawgrip.
To beat Clawgrip, you'll need to wait for Clawgrip to throw a rock at you. Avoid the rock, and get on top of it when it hits the ground and grab it, then throw it at Clawgrip. For best results, grab one that bounces off the wall. After a few hits, Clawgrip will go down.
