How:

At the rotating
pipe, use any items
you can drop such as
bananas, fake item
boxes or shells. Any
opponents falling
off here will have
to take a longer
route to the moving
blocks section.
Additionally, if you
get an item such as
the star or bullet
bill than can harm
opponents, save it
for this point. Even
lightning and
bloopers can cause
enemies to fall off,
or you try and hit
them with shells.
Just try anything
here to knock
opponents,
especially those who
generally finish in
high positions, off
the pipe. |
