I need help there! I can't get past the ballon part because if you miss one ballon, or you get hit once, you're dead!

By the way, is this one called Tubular because of all the pipes there?

Mario, Mario, Mario! What happened to Mr. Andretti?

yes...if there were less pipes they might've used tubular on a different level.

They're all hilarious dated '80s phrases aren't they? Mondo! Funky! And all that. And the level is supremely difficult. I'll just check up on this, but I seem to remember you can fly over the whole d**n thing.

Edit: Yes you can. Use a cape, a blue Yoshi, a p-switch, some strategic stomping and a delicious red-shelled koopa. Good luck.

Thanks, Waddle_Dedede. Because of your advice, I beat Tubular in two trys yesterday (I beat it in 40 seconds too!).

The greatness of the save system: After you beat Tubular, the game asks you if you want to save, as it is the hardest level in the game.

One more thing: You can't fly over it, you have to manuver around everything, which is-like Insane Steve said somewhere else-20 times easier with Yoshi (perferably blue).

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate, I mean hate, I mean really really reeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaalllllllllly hate Tubular!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(I spent 4 and a half hours yesterday trying to maneuver all over the dang place with a P-balloon).

Yeah! Us Yoshis are the best! We eat and eat and help Mario and eat and lose our kids...and...other stuff.

How many times did the timer run out?
I got it with only the P-Balloon.

There's a much much easier way to beat it, and all you need is a cape, a blue Yoshi, and skill. After you have your cape and "BLUE" Yoshi, go to Tubular and hit the P-Switch. Don't get the balloon! Instead, Jump, and hover down, and jump on the chargin chucks and stuff until you reach solid blocks that were once coins. Eat one of the Red Koopa Troopas to get Yoshi's wings, and then fly for the rest of the level.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #10 on:** September 23, 2002, 07:14:49 PM »

Yeah, but it proves that I have REAL skill because I can do it all very nicely the hard way!

ZeetherKID77 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 05, 2002, 05:56:51 PM »

But if you're using a red or green or yellow Yoshi, you have to swallow a red Koopa. My friend Sean says it's kinda hard, since he's played it and beaten it 5 times. :P

Blue Koopa.

*remains passive about the discussion*

Well...I beat it the ultra-hard way, in 2 tries. Then again, I never tried flying over it.
