Video Guide on How to Proceed
If you can't get a clear idea from the video alone, try watching the video again after looking at the explanation images below. Also, being aware of dead ends as you proceed will make the maze structure easier to understand.
Step-by-Step Guide on How to Proceed
Enter the Gap in the Wooden Boxes

Enter the gap in the wooden boxes and tilt the stick diagonally upwards to the left.
Proceed Right at the Dead End

When you hit a dead end, tilt the stick to the right and jump at the dead end.
Jump Down-Right Twice

Tilt the stick down-right and jump twice.
Jump Left

Tilt the stick to the left and jump simultaneously.
Visible Position, so Head to the Right Gap

Mario will appear on top of the wooden boxes, so enter the gap on the right.
Jump the Ledge and Proceed Further In

Jump the ledge and proceed further in. Be careful, as falling down means you'll have to start over.
Go Down and Proceed Left

After going down, tilt the stick to the left.
Jump Left at the Dead End

When you hit a dead end, tilt the stick upwards to the left and jump.
Proceed Right While Jumping

Tilt the stick to the right while jumping to reach the top. Press the green button, and a hint and "Royal Syrup" will drop.
If You Get Lost, Give Up
If you get lost midway and can't tell where you're going, it's difficult to return to the correct route while Mario is not visible. It's recommended to give up using the - button and try again.
3D Maze Structure
Appears as the Third Hint Room

The 3D Maze appears as the third hint room in the Sunken Ship. You can challenge it by defeating the Reacher in front of the door and entering.
Proceed Through a Maze Where the Inside is Not Visible

The 3D Maze is a maze made of stacked blocks, and you need to proceed without being able to see the passages inside. Mario is also not visible, so try to grasp Mario's movements by moving the camera.
