World 4 is a bit trickier than the rest of the game, I think. Unless it’s just that I’m out of practice after a week or so off.
There was one jump in World 4-A that I really couldn’t do and ended up just fluking.

Hooray! I opened World Four!
And I wasn’t told how to do it… Though enough people have been talking around the subject for me to be able to work out how it was probably done and indeed it was.
Now to play it!

I am now the winner.
Sort of.
I worked out how to open up the cannon on World One, and the one on World Two. I’ve completely unlocked both of them and got all the special coins.
But I still can’t get to World Four.

I woke up (very late) this morning with Lithuania’s Eurovision entry in my head.
After going out I spent ages trying to find a way to unlock the cannon on World One of New Super Mario Bros. Failed.
I am not the winner.
I’ve moved on to World Two for now, but there’s a fairly early coin I just can’t see how to get to.

A 43.4″ sea bass is my entry in today’s fishing tourney.
Will it be enough?

Well, I’ve gone back and explored World 1 thoroughly. I’ve collected all the coins and opened all the coin doors… but I can’t find out how to get to World Two. There’s a cannon-looking thing on the map, but I can’t work out how to get to it. There’s a suspicious horizontal pipe in a nearby castle, but I can’t seem to enter it.

Well, I got to the end this afternoon. Need to go back and fill in the gaps now.
BUY THIS GAME.

Oh, this is such a lovely game.
May be relatively short-lived, but it’s going to be replayable and it just feels, looks and sounds so good.

Two levels played on the bus, then I ran back to a gate near the beginning of the world to spend some coins and save. I suppose I should trust the sleep feature, but I just don’t yet.
