How do you get to the special world on Mario World?

Answer 1

Pre-Star World

To get to the Special World, you first have to be at a place called Star World. Apparently, there are 5 locations to get to Star World:

Key:

Normal Exit -->

Secret Exit ~>

1. Donut Plains 1 ~> Donut Secret 1 ~> Donut Secret House ~> Star Road
2. Vanilla Dome 1 ~> Vanilla Secret 1 ~> Star Road
3. Cheese Bridge Area ~> Soda Lake --> Star Road
4. Forest of Illusion 4 ~> Forest Secret Area --> Forest Fortress --> Star Road
5. Valley of Bowser 4 ~> Star Road

If you get even one of them you can go to Star World.

Before going to Star World, make sure you have visited all switch palaces, or finding all the secret exits in the Star World stages are going to be challenging.

Star World

In Star World, there are 5 stages. To reach Special World though, you have to find all 5 stages' secret exits. To get to the secret exit in Star World 5, you must have pushed all four of the switches in the switch palaces (There are some videos of people getting to the exit without pressing any switches, but that's hard to do).

After finding all the secret exits in the stages of Star World, a star will appear in the middle of the mountain. That star will lead you to the special world!
