Barrel Volcano Walkthrough Chart

Descend from Nimbus Land

Hot Spring

From the entrance of Nimbus Land, head to the hot spring. Talk to the guard, and Mallow will prove he's royalty, allowing access to the hot spring. There's a sign posted; falling through the gap in the clouds will lead to Barrel Volcano.

Features Inside Barrel Volcano

Volcano

Falling into Lava Makes You Jump

Inside Barrel Volcano, if you fall anywhere other than walkable areas, Mario will get burned and jump high. Be careful when proceeding, as you'll return to a designated spot.

A Single Path, No Getting Lost

Barrel Volcano is a single path with no forks. There are two save points and an item/inn inside.

Many Enemies are Weak to Ice

Ice Attribute

All enemies encountered in Barrel Volcano, except for the final bosses Axem Rangers and Zombone, are weak to Ice. Mallow's special move "Snowy" is very effective. Since there are many tough enemies, don't hesitate to use it. Recover FP with Maple Syrup.

The Third Treasure Chest from the Entrance Contains a Star

Star Status

The third treasure chest from the entrance contains a Star. Once invincible, quickly proceed to the next area where multiple "Spikey" enemies will appear. Hit them while invincible to level up quickly.

Defeat Jidanda on the Ledge with the Star

"Jidanda" is a troublesome enemy in normal combat. Mallow's "Snowy" makes it easier to defeat, but if you want to conserve FP, defeat it while under the effect of a Star.

How to Get Frog Coins

There are several Frog Coins inside Barrel Volcano, but some require a bit of ingenuity to obtain.

Frog Coin in the Lava

How to get Frog Coin

There's a Frog Coin in the lava where there's no platform. To get it, jump from the side to grab the coin. You won't take damage from stepping on the lava, so you can try as many times as needed.

Frog Coin Above the Exit

How to get to the exit

There's an area where Bobbles jump out of the lava, and you have to cross by jumping on platforms. There's a Frog Coin above the exit, but no platform. To get it, fall into the lava near the exit, and you'll jump up onto the area above the exit.

Frog Coin in the Area with Dry Bones

Jump

The Frog Coin in the area where Dry Bones roam can be obtained by jumping onto a white platform that collapses over time.

Mallow is Effective Against Fungusprout and Jidanda

Enemy

You must fight the "Fungusprout" and "Jidanda" blocking the path. Mallow's special move "Snowy," which exploits their weakness, is effective, so include Mallow in your party.

Rest at Hinopio's Inn

Hinopio

You'll find Hinopio, who runs the Hinomart where you can shop. You can use items, equipment, and the inn. There's also a save point in the next area, so upgrade your equipment with items like the Fire Shirt.

Cross the Lava by Jumping on Donut Blocks

Donut Block

The floating Donut Blocks will fall after a certain amount of time if you stand on them. If one falls, return to the previous area and come back, and it will be restored.

Fight Kaiser Dragon

Kaiser Dragon
  • Consecutive battles with Kaiser Dragon and Zombone
  • Prepare measures against the Fear status
  • Peach, with her group healing, is recommended
  • Snowy is effective against Kaiser Dragon
  • Chip away at Zombone with normal attacks

Entering the area after crossing the Donut Blocks will automatically trigger a boss battle. After defeating Kaiser Dragon, you'll face Zombone in a consecutive battle. Be aware that their elemental weaknesses are different.

Return to Hinopio's Shop

After defeating Kaiser Dragon, you'll face the Axem Rangers in a consecutive battle in the next area. It's recommended to return to Hinopio's shop to save and purchase any needed items before that.

Obtain the Star Piece... or So You Thought

Axem Rangers
  • Consecutive battles with Axem Rangers and Blade
  • Prepare status ailment countermeasures beforehand
  • Thoroughly heal everyone with Peach
  • Prioritize defeating Green and Pink
  • Be careful of Black's special move counter
  • Heal everyone before defeating the fifth member
  • Defeat Blade with Jump and normal attacks

Just when you think you've finally obtained the sixth Star Piece, it's stolen by the "Axem Rangers." Chase them up the volcano, and you'll face the Axem Rangers and their giant warship, Blade, in consecutive battles at the crater.

Nimbus Land's Lakitu Bus Restored

Lakitu Bus

After reporting the battle in Barrel Volcano and the remaining Star Pieces, you'll be able to use the Lakitu Bus. Exit the palace, go left, and talk to the Lakitu Bus manager. You can now go to Bowser's Castle anytime.
