Head to the back and run toward the lava then fly up and then toward the right at the top section. Alright the rooms are a little different.

The Bowser statues are on pedestals and no item block after. The lava room shoots fire forward and backwards. hard huh? Then when you fight Bowser the broken blocks are almost everywhere and there is a little spot where Bowser can fall and die.

The Underground
To do the following you must have a P-Wing (strange huh...) and it is for use on the following worlds: 1-2, 3-4, and 6-8. On the grassy levels mario can access tunnels under the ground and skip nearly the entire level in them... not that it matters with a P-Wing because you practically skip the level anyway
White Mushroom Houses
In these houses you always get either a P-Wing or an anchor, depending on the amount of coins you have at the time will decide which you are given. There are one of these houses in all worlds except world 8.
World 8
