Bowser on Ice

You get to put your Fire Flower skills to use in this bipolar level. A Fire Flower in front of the small cabin will let you toss fireballs around the first planetoid. You may notice that the white snow statues here can be destroyed to reveal various things. One Goomba statue on the rear side reveals a launch star.

The next area features another Fire Flower and plenty of things to destroy. You can destroy the statues, trees and enemies in the area below (Note: Destroy the tree nearest to the pond to reveal the Warp Pipe leading to "The Chimp's Skating Challenge" Hidden Star). Your ultimate goal is behind the massive Bowser snow sculpture. Here you can grab a midway flag before sliding down to a new area.

Grab a Fire Flower and destroy all the snow cubes around the central block to reveal a warp pipe. Don't head into the pipe until you've revealed the Comet Medal hidden in a nook near the bottom of the cube stack.

The large lava pool can be traversed with the help of the snow balls. Push these out onto the lava and they will create a slowly melting path behind them as they roll. Neat! Of course, you can move a lot faster by simply jumping to the distant platforms.

Proceed clockwise around the massive Bowser sculpture and you'll find a Fire Flower on the far side. Use this to destroy the central sculpture and you'll find the Power Star within.
