Course 1: Bob-omb Battlefield

Location: First door on the left of the main floor of the castle. Behind the painting behind the door with a blank star.

Required: Nothing.

Recommended: The power to wear the wing cap for star 5.

Information: Course 1 is the home of the Bomb king and his troops. This is the last stop for training for those anxious Mario gamers. Goombas, bomb-ombs (of course), and giant water balloons. You'll have to race a turtle and free a dog (IMHO, I don't think it is a dog, even though they say it is). Remember to read the signs through out your journey. Also remember this, winged cap!

Course 1
Star # Objective Picture

1 BIG BOB-OMB AT THE SUMMIT:
Follow the dirt trail to the top of the mountain. Walk to the so-called "king" and talk to him. He will start the fight. Run around and pick up the jolly old fat guy (and I don't mean Santa). Don't worry he's slow. But don't let him pick you up instead. Try not to throw him out of the ring. Throw him three times and he'll give up. The first star is yours!

2 FOOTRACE WITH KOOPA THE QUICK:
Talk with the oversized koopa and he'll start a race to the top of the mountain. Take you'll usual route, don't follow the turtle. Once you pass the ball pit, you'll see that the turtle has cheated. AAARRRGGGHHH!!! Well, Mario can cheat too! If you see a hole in the wall of the mountain, where the balls come out, go in it. Stand there for a couple of seconds until it warps you to another hole. Continue up the hill and touch the flag. Wait for the slow poke to catch up and give you the star. That race was nothing compared to the upcoming races. So be prepared.

3 SHOOT TO THE ISLAND IN THE SKY:
You'll have to get the star on the floating island. Talk to your bob-omb buddy to open the cannons. Experiment with various cannons. When you get on the island, hit the brown box. The star will pop up and Mario will boogie down!

4 FIND THE 8 RED COINS:
Now test your skills on trying to get the dreaded eight red coins:

Above the elevators, near the dog.
Over the green rock in the closest field.
Above the stake connecting to the dog. Be careful.
Across the teeter totter bridge and to the left, the red coin.
Beside the fourth red coin. Beware of goombas.
Under the slate bridge that you cross travelling to the mountain. While you're there, get the 1-up.
Go around the mountain to where the bob-omb is. Slide down the hill where the seventh coin lies upon.
Go up to the island. Climb the tree to get the last coin.
Go into the cannon and point to the direction of the fourth and fifth coins, but a little bit higher. If you're good, you'll land right on the star and here we go!!!

5 MARIO WINGS TO THE SKY:
Get all the 5 coins in the middle of the coin rings by blasting your way there from the island. Use the cannon. To save time, get 10 stars and get the wing cap. The star will appear in the same place where the 4th star appeared.

6 BEHIND CHAIN CHOMP'S GATE:
This time you'll have to free that mangy dog that keeps trying to bite you. Butt stomp on the stake that he's connected to three times. Be careful, It doesn't like people jumping on its property. Once done, the mutt crashes into the gate and flies away. Do you know what's behind the gate? Right, power star 6!!!

7 Coins = 146
Who said being greedy is bad? Get all the coins on the ground then head for the sky to get the rest of the hundred. Remember to kill those goombas, bob-ombs and stuff. KILL, KILL, KILL!!! Uhhhh... Sorry.
