I'm working on Level 1-5. I've gotten past most of the puzzle, but once the flag is shown to indicate I'm close to the end, I can't seem to jump to the next three pads without falling off. Mario just doesn't jump high or far enough from a bounce. What should I do?
Hmm, perhaps you are not holding down the jump button to jump higher?
Also if you run (press and hold the Y button) and jump you can gain more distance though its much harder this way when running over small platforms. (I enjoy myself personally)
Another tip for higher jumps is to use Mario's triple jump.
You jump once then hit jump again right when you hit the ground and then do a third one for a full summersault jump up in the air.
This is better for later parts of the game and isn't really all that needed to beat the game, but its very fun.
Another tip is the purple/pink bouncy mushrooms all around stage 1-5. You can jump higher off them if you hit the jump button right when you land on one.
Though I'd suggest holding the run/fire button (Y by default)
to move a little faster when bouncing all around. It can be a little harder but can help when you need to really move as you loose a little speed when bouncing on those mushrooms.
I hope that helps you out some.
Remember to keep trying, practice makes perfect, and shouldn't be too hard to master.
Good luck and have fun.
