Accessing worlds 4 and 7 in New Super Mario Bros

[coltyhuxx]

I haven't been able to find a good guide (trying to do this on my lunch break here).. only gamefaqs stuff and I was a little confused about how to access worlds four and seven. I'm on world 8 and I don't want to beat the game w/o playing those levels. I've been going back and forth getting my tripple coins on each level. Is this the way, or it strictly dependent on warp pipes? I haven't found a single one... hmmm...

I'll give you a hint that will still let you enjoy finding the worlds on your own. Go back and beat World 3's end boss and pay attention.

it's stupid how this works and it took me a while to find a answer too.

all you have to do is beat the final castle's boss of the level before (2 and 5) as mini-mario.

Thats it.

Will do tonight.. glad i'm not totally crazy for being confused! I've been snooping around all over the world maps and haven't been able to find out how to do this!
