Super Mario Bros – World 2-1
World 2 opens with a long, busy overworld stage. Koopas, a lot of them, plus a few Goombas, and enough question blocks to leave with a healthy coin count. The timer is a generous 400 seconds.
Look for the beanstalk. Not far from the start there is a brick above the ground row that hides a vine; hit it from below and climb into a sky area full of coins with a lift back down at the far end. The bonus room is also where you collect most of the coins in this level, so do not skip it if you are chasing extra lives.
Back on the ground, the second half has several Koopa Troopas walking in pairs. Kick a shell into a group and it takes the whole group with it, and each extra hit is worth more points than the last.
