Super Mario World help needed

How do you get past the first "special" level (gnarly). The one where you have to vertically up and over this thing to the right to get to the exit.
 
hmmm... lemme think...

<--- found every single exit back in the day

i think you go into a pipe thats at the top of the map... been a long long time...
 
89. GNARLY (Difficulty: Easy)
Just make your way up any way you can. Also, you can't use Yoshi
here and the blue Yoshi strategy doesn't work either. Boo hoo.
(Actually, some people are saying that the green shell on the
right side of the level works. You can eat it through the walls.
However, I tried this and it didn't work for me. If it works for
you, swell! But, if you got an early copy like me, then it might
not work!)
(Y1) There are four vines. Take the far right one up and you
will see it on top of a yellow block.
(Y2) Continue your journey up and you will see a flying red
Koopa. This one can be found to its right.
When you see the red flying Koopa, the left yellow block has a
POW inside. You have one of two choices: go for the 1-UP or save
it for a 3-UP later on. You'll should save it, but if you don't:
(UP) Hit the POW and climb up the newly solid blocks. When you
get to the top, you will find a 1-UP.
If you save the POW, then follow this strategy. Hold B so you
carry the POW. Then go to the top of the level and before you
make your way down, hit the POW. A few ? blocks will appear. Do
NOT try to destroy them. Jump down to your far right and you'll
land on a ? block in front of the pipe. Enter the pipe.
(Y3) To the left of the pipe.
(Y4) Next to Y3.
(Y5) Next to Y3.
(UP) When in this area, just run to the end (don't jump) and
three 1-UPs will go flying out. Get them.
If for some reason you don't want to do this, this is how you
get the Dragon Coins the other way. IF you have a feather, hold
A to make your life easier.
(Y3) The first one down will be on the right.
(Y4) The next one is to the left, in between two note blocks.
(Y5) The next one will be slightly to the right.
When you land, there will be a blue Koopa. Make sure you don't
carelessly get hit by it! Enter the pipe to continue.
This is where both routes merge. You will see three POWs, one
silver and two blue ones. Hit the blue one and carry the silver
one. A bridge will be formed to the right. Run and kill the
Hammer Bro. and get up. Eventually, Lakitu will come flying by.
(UP) Get Lakitu to drop a lot of spinys. Hit the silver POW
to transform them into silver coins.
Or, you can ignore him and run to the end. If you have the POW
in your hand, it will turn into a 1-UP. Either way, you win.
Go to: 90. Tubular
 
I finished every single level except the Valley Fortress. Those spikes owned me every time.
 
I basically gave up trying to unlock all the secret levels. I haven't touched Super Mario World since finding those hidden levels. They're all impossible and they make you want to pull out your hair
 
is that the starroad thingie? i passed the game and found all the secrets, but i am not sure what you are talkin about right now.
 
/me remembers this clearly, since the last time he played through the game (and discovering all secrets along the way) was about 2 months ago 😉

I think this is how I usually do that level:

1. Jump up and activate all of the vines
2. Get back on yoshi, then eat the koopa on the other side of the pipe to make yoshi fly (you may need the blue one, I don't really remember)
3. Fly up as far as you can, then use vines and spring boards to go the rest of the way.
4. Activate the 'p' block to create a bridge. Kill the hammer brother and jump on his platform, use it to get up to the exit.

The next level ('Tubular') is indeed a total pain in the ass. Get a blue yoshi, then try your best to fly across the level. You will most likely not be able to make it all the way (the wings will timeout with no koopas in eating range) so when they dissappear, make a leap of faith (cape mario is best for this) and fly to the grass area at the end, where the exit awaits.
 
I remember playing Mario for the first time on SNES.
It was so amazing... I got 101% (or however high the max was, it might have been more)
