FDS Super Mario Bros. 2, World 8-2 Tutorial

This tutorial assumes you are playing the level without slowing down.

To make the double-bounce on the koopa more reliable:

• Turn and full jump on the small staircase after the spring.

• Start holding D+R while in mid-air
• Keep holding D+R after landing on the floating blocks, perform a small jump (ideally anywhere from 4 to 9 frames) to land on the Koopa.

• You'll have to slow down and speed back up to get the second bounce.
• Slow down just before the first bop to ensure Mario is almost aligned above the koopa.
• Speed back up a few monents before the second bop. Hold left again though to land on the block and get to the vine
• If the koopa turns left rather than right, you jumped too high.

8-2 Vine Rule

• As soon as you grab the vine, you want to immediately get off of it by tapping left
• A rough visual cue for when to jump for the vine re-grab is when the second leaf of the vine aligns with the top of the cloud

• Do not full jump when attempting to re-grab the vine. You ideally want to jump for 6 or 7 frames.
• Start holding left after you start jumping.

You can also hold down+left after getting off of the vine to do the same thing

You need to enter on B or faster to save the vine framerule
