| On the map screen, you’ll notice that Bowser’s castle has two doors. In order to access the Back Door, you must first go to Valley of Bowser 2, equipped with a Cape Feather.
After passing through the moving horizontal rocks and going through the yellow pipe, there is a long passageway consisting of a moving rock formation and a flying ‘?’ Block. (If you are equipped with a Yoshi, do not hit the block, because it contains a pair of wings, causing you to bypass the whole level.)
When you pass the moving corridor and go through the green pipe, there should be a yellow rock floor. (You must run past this before the rock crushes you.) Simply fly onto the brown ledge above said rock, and move left. A short drop will lead you to a key and keyhole.
Pick up the key, insert it in the keyhole, and you’ll be warped out of the level. This action will reveal a path to a Fortress on the map screen. Defeat the Reznor, and a path to Bowser’s Back Door. |
