Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins levels

Secret Course 3[1] is the secret level of the Macro Zone in Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins . It is unlocked by finding the secret exit in the Manhole Course. Beating the level unlocks a shortcut to the Attic Course. It is the only secret level in the game to lead to a different level and the only one to not force the player to find the secret exit leading to it again when it is cleared or failed before allowing the player to retry it.

Layout[edit ]

The level is an autoscrolling level that starts on several Empty Blocks. After that platform there is a gap in between a set of two Empty Blocks followed by another set of two Empty Blocks and a set of three Empty Blocks with a ? Block containing either a Fire Flower or a Mushroom above the last Empty Block. After the three Empty Blocks there is a set of four Empty Blocks, a Flimsy Lift, three Empty Blocks, two Flimsy Lifts, four Empty Blocks, and eight bricks that lead to a staircase of Empty Blocks. On the top of the staircase there is a row of horizontal Empty Blocks with a one-block gap that is in between a staircase of Empty Blocks leading downwards. Before the row of horizontal Empty Blocks there is a row of bricks that lead to a small room with a large amount of coins when the bricks are broken with a Spin Jump. Above this room the downwards staircase leads to a line of Empty Blocks followed by an upwards staircase of Empty Blocks that leads to a line of Empty Blocks with a brick. There is a set of five Empty Blocks with a ? Block containing a Fire Flower above the middle Empty Block. There is a set of four Empty Blocks that leads to a large platform of Empty Blocks. In the platform there are two fiery blocks that lead to a room with a ? Block that contains a 1-Up Heart and several more of the blocks. Above this room is a line of Empty Blocks. After the platform there is a fiery block in midair. After that block the autoscrolling stops and a wooden platform with the Goal door appears.
