Follow That Shell!, or Superstar Road-9, is the ninth and final course of Superstar Road in New Super Mario Bros. U and the last one overall in the game. It is unlocked when the player collects every previously obtainable Star Coin in Superstar Road.

Layout[edit ]

The course is based on the sky levels from many worlds. Throughout the level, Koopa Troopa shells can be thrown to defeat enemies and break blocks, allowing the player to progress and collect Star Coins. A Koopa Troopa is found at the beginning of the level, as well as some Goombas and a structure of Brick Blocks. Another Koopa Troopa is found, along with a series of Goombas and Koopa Troopas on platforms. Another Koopa Troopa appears in the next section, where Hidden Coins and a Brick Block containing a 1-Up Mushroom are found. The Koopa Troopa's shell can travel through a section with Brick Blocks and slopes, where Koopa Troopas and Goombas are found. A Bouncy Cloud is found, followed by a slope with Goombas on it. A structure of Brick Blocks is then found, and the Goal Pole is located after it.

Star Coins [edit ]
