Snow Star (せつげんのスター / Setsugen no Suta. Lit: Snowfield Star) is the seventh level in the Star Road. It has a secret exit that turns the level into a Warp Star, like most of the Star Road levels.

The Level

Demo 6

In the Demo 6, the level is unfinished and takes the player to a inescapable Bonus Game, and it was replaced in the Demo 6.5. There, Mario cannot move anywhere, and after a moment, a text box will appear and the player will be warped to the Bonus Game.

Demo 6.5 - 7

In the Demos 6.5 and 7, it was a cave level with water, you just have to keep swimming forward. You'll eventually see Clapper the Seal from Donkey Kong Country 2, if you jump on it, the water will freeze, this doesn't affect the enemies underwater though, and the water won't be like that for long.

Secret Exit

To find the secret exit, you have to get a P-Switch underwater and press it were there is a Clapper trapped above some brown blocks, once you do that, jump on it and quickly go forward and enter a Warp Pipe before the water unfreezes, then you will find a key and a keyhole.

Demo 7.5 Onwards

In the Demo 7.5, the level was entirely remade, now you have to avoid the presents that santa throws and keep going forward. On the second section, there are three blocks with rapidly changing items, they are: A Baby Yoshi egg, a Bob-Omb, a ? Goal Point, A Cape Feather and a 1-Up Mushroom, you have to get a match of 3 ? Goal Points on the blocks to beat the level.

Secret Exit

To get the secret exit, you have to get a match of 3 Bob-Ombs, when you do that, Santa will drop a big Bob-Omb, when it blows up, the key and the keyhole are revealed.
