He only lands if a player is directly below him. Ludwig von Koopa is extremely dangerous as he shoots indigo projectiles out of his wand that follows Mario around and use flutter-jumping in a tactic similar to Yoshi's. Once you reach the end of the level, Ludwig von Koopa is fought. The second part of the level has the same platform, with Bob-ombs as obstacles instead of Bullet Bills. Bullet Bills are shot from Bill Blasters on the sides of the level, and run into each other in the middle of the screen, and as the elevator gets closer to the top of the first part of the level, Banzai Bills are shot from the right side. An Ice Flower can be found during this part of the level making avoiding the Bullet Bills more manageable.

It can be controlled by tilting the Wii Remote left or right as it travels upward. The first part of this level contains a large platform similar to the Tilt Lift first seen in World 1-2 on a cloudy background.

This is the second-to-last fortress in New Super Mario Bros.
