5-1 Shy Guy Jungle  

Things: Toy Bat, Powder Puff, Tailor Shears

Megaflash Stickers: Hurlhammer

HP-Up Heart: 1

Upon entering the level, there is a Piranha Plant guarding a ? block. To get past the giant man-eating flower, hit it with your hammer and quickly climb up the steps to jump across the flower. There is a block way too high to reach as soon as you cross the flower. Paperize and place any sticker you want (this also makes a normal sticker shiny and a shiny sticker flashy) on the space. You can now jump to get the high block after climbing up onto the cliff.

You will come to some high bushes. You will walk a little slower and the enemies will be slightly harder to see. When you drop down from the little ledge, go straight back towards the ? block. Go right until you are behind the tree before the stone wall starts. Keep going back to find a new area with the Toy Bat. There is a heart and a few coins in a little alcove in the stone. Beware of stealthy Shy Guy spear throwers while moving forward.

You will come to more bushes. After approaching the three dancing Shy Guys, you must retrieve the bridge segments. For the first one, go down into the high bushes and defeat all the enemies attacking you first (this makes it much easier). Try to corner the one with the bridge piece in the top left area and attack it.

For the next piece, take the left exit out of the area with the missing bridge. In the giant garbage pile is the shyguy you are looking for (there are also notes hidden amongst the garbage; see Trash Notes under Secrets to see those). In the middle of the pile is a place to paperize. There are a few ways to find him:

1. Use the Vacuum to suck up all of the trash.

2. Use the Goat.

3. Use the Upright Vacuum.

(Please add any other ways)

The Shy Guy is hiding behind some stone. Also, if you follow the tracks, there are four paperize spots to upgrade some stickers. 

For the last piece, take the right exit out of the main area. On the top ledge there are two hammerbros. Take them out and get the Megaflash Hurlhammer in the ? block on the right. When you reach the man-eating flower, drop down and go behind it to the right. There's a cave, and inside is a HP-Up Heart. Hit the flower and jump across it as fast as you can (You can also jump up onto an invisible ledge where the leaf of the flower is and jump up onto the flower).

 In the next area, defeat all of the enemies (Just do it; it makes it easier). Guide the Shy Guy up onto the ramp to the left of the bushes and chase him all the way across the flower. CHOMP. Now, to get across, you need to hit a secret block located between the two skinny trees. Hit the flower and climb up and across. Also on that side is a Blue Door containing the Tailor Shears. One last secret: right before the flower you just crossed there is a short little bush fence. Jump over the fence and go left. Inside you will find the Powder Puff

Go back to the main area, fix the bridge, and get the Comit Star.

This is only an alternative route to the way you are supposed to progress through this particular level. If you have enough patience, it will work. I don't know the real way around it but hopefully this will work for whoever. There will be a place where you will chase a shyguy across a maneating flower, and the bridge scrap will end up on the other side where you can't get to it. You're supposed to hit the flower with the hammer, then run around before it comes to again. Unfortunately, there isn't a way (to my knowledge) to get across before it comes to other than a trick. If you try standing on the leaves connected to the flower (after hitting it of course), the lower left leaf should be enough for you to jump off of onto the flower and get across. If you just try long enough Mario will end up floating on the leaf so to speak and that'l be your chance to try it. It's not the right way, but it's how I got through at least. It'l work, and good luck to whoever tries it out.


I had the same problem and your suggestion worked but took a few times to time it right! Thanks, Katie!

I have found the proper solution to this segment! To the left of the flower is a shelter, like the ones the Spear Guys use earlier in the level. Hammer it and pull the Bowser tape behind it. It'll expose a stairwell that lets you complete this section easily!



Towards the end of this level, 3 annoying little Shy Guys will take off with in 3 different directions, each holding a critical piece of level progression.  The following is how to capture each. SHY-GUY 1 will run straight towards you, hiding amoungst the bushes.  In order to capture his bridge piece, you'll need to corner him (I did this by taking out his henchmen, and then forcing him slowly into the far left corner).  You'll know he's trapped because he'll stop trying to evade you and just stand still. SHY-GUY 2 will run left.  Unfortunately, he's hiding inside of the trash heap.  Use the vacuum cleaner (the same one you used to suck up the desert tornado in World 2) by paperizing the center of the trash heap.  Afterwards, you'll see the little guy over to the top right side of the screen. SHY-GUY 3 is probably the easiest.  He'll run towards the right. Once again, this Shy-Guy will hide in the bushes.  Chase him to the leftside of the screen, out of the bushes and up the embankment.  If you do this correctly, he'll eventually reach the ledge by the flower, jumping over the flower and waiting for you at the other side.  Jump down, hit the flower, then use your hammer to SMACK A HIDDEN BLOCK by the little clearing by the ledge on the left.  NOT THE LEDGE DIRECTLY NEXT TO THE FLOWER.  The hidden block is located approximately between the flower and the slight embankment you forced the Shy-Guy up earlier.  The hidden block is located on the ground, FYI.  It may be easier to locate the hidden block BEFORE chasing the Shy-Guy.  After you find the hidden block (which provides a much easier shortcut) it's simply a matter of jumping past the flower and grabbing that last bridge piece.


Marnista:  you can chase the third shy guy up the ramp into the flower, and the flower will spit out the scrap.

Bunnhead7: To the right of the third shyguy is a Blue Door location.  Go in and collect the Tailor Shears.  Look to the far left of the screen (left of the flower).  You may be able to see a cave opening.  This will be just up from the hidden block to the back left.  It looks like you cannot reach it, but you just jump over the grass (pressing up).  Mario will then be behind the grass.  Go into the opening, and you'll collect the Powder Puff thing.

TheRandomHen: From the main square in the level (the place with the save and comet star) go down/south, head west past the two "doors" in the wall and walk behind the first tree you see and you will find the Toy Bat thing.
