![Super Mario Bros 3 Walkthrough - Super Mario-Bros-3 392](super-mario-bros-3-392-small.webp)
As before, the invincibility star no longer show if you let the invincibility wear off before getting it. It would have shown up here.

Some spots reveal a hidden coin if you try to get on higher ground.
![Super Mario Bros 3 Walkthrough - Super Mario-Bros-3 401](super-mario-bros-3-401-small.webp)

![Super Mario Bros 3 Walkthrough - Super Mario-Bros-3 402](super-mario-bros-3-402-small.webp)
If you end up here, watch out for the Bob-omb as it is not enough room to jump over it.

Next try to guide this platform to the top.
![Super Mario Bros 3 Walkthrough - Super Mario-Bros-3 409](super-mario-bros-3-409-small.webp)

![Super Mario Bros 3 Walkthrough - Super Mario-Bros-3 417](super-mario-bros-3-417-small.webp)

![Super Mario Bros 3 Walkthrough - Super Mario-Bros-3 418](super-mario-bros-3-418-small.webp)
7-Plant: This level is full of plants. It is on the map and acts like the Hammer Bros. on the map.
![Super Mario Bros 3 Walkthrough - Super Mario-Bros-3 419](super-mario-bros-3-419-small.webp)
The Munchers pop in and out of pipes in pairs and in a set pattern.
