A small minigame

Arriving at the cave, you see Bowser and Baby Bowser fighting over the place. After the sequence, move to the right and float slowly down thanks to the vortex. In the next section you can bring the older ones back. Four of you continue to the right and roll into the Cannon. With the babies you jump into the cave and activate the Color Switch. Now collect the diamonds as a ball (6 in total). After that, you can try to stop the wheel of fortune. There is a little trick: For example, you close the Ice Flower, stop it at the star, etc.

Combination Profit

You can finish the game earlier. In the end, a bridge appears. There are no more obstacles along the way. You come back to Mr. Rock Block. But before you use it, you should open a shortcut with the blue warp pipe.

Deeper in Volcano

Mr. Rock Block takes you deeper into the cave. If you go to the right you can earn several 100 coins, but the real way is to the left. Throw the babies into the pit and get on the platform with the big ones. Control these again, at the bottom is the exit. On the left, however, you can still find a badge. Get the babies and go to the right. Again, you have to swirl down with the babies. Once at the bottom, you can get back up through the pipe to the left. Afterwards, move to the right with the babies and pick up the two plumbers. Fight a bit in this area against the Enemies to train. If you have enough, you will find the way to the next section at the bottom left. Here you jump against the green Block so Mr. Rock Block will take you further down.


Another minigame

Again you can activate a shortcut through the blue warp pipe. Once you have done this you will find another rock block on the right. Stand on his head and he explains the rules to you. So collect 30 diamonds with the babies. It’s not too hard. Once you have made it, you can make your way down. So go down and save. Before you activate the blue color switch don’t forget to refill your HP.


The nemesis in the double pack

So activate the blue crystal block and move down. You meet Bowser and Baby Bowser, you have to fight against both. It is best to use the new Copy Flower, but also the trampoline or the brother cannon. Bowser is not without and has strong attacks, from time to time he even gets thrown by his younger self a mushroom, which fills 60 HP. Take care of his tricks so that you do not stumble. After almost 10 laps, Bowser is completely defeated and you can go to Baby Bowser. But this does not tolerate too much and is a little faster K.O. At the end of the fight, Baby Bowser flies onto the mother ship and the four heroes also arrive on the ship and Princess Peach is again kidnapped.
