The Bat Course[1] is the first level of the Pumpkin Zone in Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins . This level takes place through a graveyard, although the majority of the level is set in an underground structure. According to the Perfect Ban Mario Character Daijiten , the building was built long before people lived in Mario Land, and that the Kurokyura is the building's master.[2]
Layout[edit ]
The level starts out with a Masked Ghoul and a ? Block containing a Mushroom, with a pipe which takes Mario underground. Here, there are several spiked balls attached to chains which move up and down, as well as a few more Masked Ghouls. There are also four ? Blocks, the third one containing a Carrot Mario can use to become Bunny Mario. After the ? Blocks is a pipe which takes Mario to an area above-ground. If Mario chooses to stay underground, he will encounter falling spikes, another Masked Ghoul, and a Venus Fire Trap. If Mario chooses to enter the pipe, he finds himself in an area with two Boos and many invisible/flashing blocks. Mario can stand on them even when they are invisible. At the top are three ? Blocks, the one in the middle containing a 1-Up Heart. Mario can then enter the other pipe leading back to the underground section, taking him directly to the Mid-Point Bell.
Mario must then make it past several more obstacles until he reaches Kurokyura, who can be defeated with a simple jump. Mario can also bounce off one of his bats to reach a ? Block which contains another 1-Up Heart. He is then able to reach the Goal.
