In the first room of the Ruins, Pokey Mummies will pop out of the sarcophagi. Be sure to grab the Spike Shield Badge, which is hidden in the second sarcophagus. |
Go to the lower room on the left and grab the key. Use this key to unlock the locked door. In this room, jump on the switch to drain the sand, so you can re-enter the room with the key and head through the door on the right. |
|
|
Climb to the top of the screen, and use Parakarry to cross the ledge, and Bombette to blow a hole in the wall. Jump on another sand-draining switch, and grab the Star Piece that's revealed. Head to the room directly below you and grab the key. |
Go back to the room on the left, and drop all the way to the bottom. Use your key to open up the door to the left. Hit this switch to make three Pokey Mummy groups appear. You must defeat them to get the key and continue. |
|
|
In the room to the left, use Parakarry to cross over to the ledge to the upper-left door. This room houses the Super Hammer. |
Climb up to this switch. Jump on it, and climb to the upper-right ledge, and jump on that switch. Now go to the middle-left ledge, and jump on that switch. Fall to the ground, and climb up the right staircase. You should be able to reach the upper-left part of the screen. |
|
|
Climb down the stairs, and you'll reach a small ledge. On the left side, there is another ledge you can jump to, just below the ledge you're on. From here, you can find the Slow Go Badge, which is pretty much useless, and not worth the effort. =P |
Anyway, drop down, and collect the Super Hammer. This raises Mario's Hammer attack power, and allows him to break stone blocks. |
|
|
Return to the room where you had to fight three Pokey Mummies to get a key. Climb up to the switch, hit it, and break the block to grab the Artifact. Now go right into the next screen, and head into the room on the right. |
This is one of three treasure rooms in the ruins. In each, you must fight two Stone Chomps to reach the treasure. Break the block, defeat the Chomps and grab the Pyramid Stone. |
|
|
Return to the room just left of the room where you fought the Pokey Mummies for the key. Now, drop to the bottom and use Bombette to blast a hole in the left wall. |
Drop down the ledge, and you'll find another Super Block. Update another party member, and blast a hole in the wall to the left. This is the second treasure room. It's essentially the same as the first, but it contains the Diamond Stone. |
|
|
Now, go to the right through a small passage filled with Buzzy Beetles, and you'll reach this room. Break the block on the lower-right to find a switch. Hit this switch to reach the key. |
Head back left to the springboard, and go right through the hole you blasted with Bombette. Go to the screen on the right, then right again to the next screen. Unlock the door with your key and hit this switch. |
|
|
Go back to the room you got your last key in, and cross the sand to find the third and final treasure room. You know the drill here. |
Go back to the room with the Chomp statues. Put the Pyramid Stone in the first statue, the Diamond Stone in the third, and the Lunar Stone in the fifth to reveal a passage. |
|
|
Follow the new path and you'll find Tutankoopa, the boss here. He hides on a ledge, summoning Chomps, throwing shells, and dropping blocks on you (and sometimes himself =P). You can ignore the Chomps he summons (if you defeat a Chomp, he'll summon another one), and concentrate your attacks on him. All in all, he's not too tough. |
Defeat Tutankoopa and you'll rescue Mamar, the second Star Spirit, and you'll have finished Chapter 2! |
