Don't let Cheep-Cheep stop your progress in World 1-4. Follow this guide to clear the way and keep moving.
"Stomp the leaping ones out of the water, or hit them with fireballs on land stages. Underwater, swim above or below their paths to avoid them — they cannot be stomped while submerged."
Leaping Cheep-Cheeps follow a fixed arc — learn the timing and run under or jump over them.
Grey Cheep-Cheeps fly horizontally at speed — these are harder to dodge than red ones.
Fire Mario can shoot them out of the air before they complete their leap.
Underwater, they swim in strict horizontal lanes — position yourself between two lanes to pass safely.
Level Context
Bowser's first castle — a fiery, maze-like fortress with lava pits, moving firebars, and a boss fight at the end. The fake Bowser here is actually a Goomba in disguise. Duck under the axe to drop him into the lava.
