World 7-1

Map (by snesmaster1)

Be prepared to deal with a lot of Bullet Bill cannons as you go through here.

The left brick in the first set of bricks contains a Mushroom/Fire Flower.

There is a coin block to the right of the Bullet Bill on the block.

If you jump straight up on the left side of the first pipe after the first set of Hammer Brothers, you can find a 1-Up assuming you've warped here from the World 4-2 vine warp or got enough coins in World 6-3. The same pipe also leads to an underground coin room, but you don't miss much if you take it.

Jumping straight up on the springboard reveals a hidden Mushroom/Fire Flower.

World 7-2

It's been a while since we've went underwater, and that's what we're doing here. You should have a good idea of what to do here: swim to the right and avoid everything as you get to the exit, and watch out for the currents as you grab coins. Having fireballs makes this place better.

World 7-3

Map (by snesmaster1)

Just when you thought the seventh world of the game was going to give you a breather, in comes another fish bridge stage. This time, you'll also have to deal with green Koopas and Para-troopas in addition to the fish that fly out from the bottom of the screen.

The lone ? block contains a Mushroom/Fire Flower.

World 7-4

Solution (by starfighters76)

After the platforms and the Podaboo, take the bottom path, then the middle path between the two platforms, then run across the top. Keep running when you see the fire bar, then drop down and take the middle path and get to the top path just before the wall. If you do it right, you'll make it to Bowser.

Killing Bowser with fireballs here turns him into a Hammer Brother.
