== Layout ==
The player begins underground and must climb up a ladder to reach the overworld. If the selected character is Luigi, he can easily reach the high platform above, to the right, to reach a door leading to an area where a Magical Potion can be found.
The player must navigate through the overworld to reach another pyramid. Upon entering, they will find themselves dropping in one of two drop lanes until they reach the sand pit. They must dig their way down to find a room with the key, then bring the key back up to the locked door. Once through, the player will be getting closer to the boss area. Once they collect the crystal orb to the Masked Gate, they can enter the final area, where they will encounter Tryclyde. To defeat him, the player must simply toss Mushroom Blocks at him three times.
