Behind the Waterfall
After the events of the previous episode, all the water in the level has frozen, giving Mario access to the cave behind the waterfall. First mario must climb up the cliff, which has become harder due to the snowstorm that was occurring in Freeze the Frigid Sea. When you get to the second tier of the cascade. Follow the path past the waterfall and defeat all the enemies so Mario can obtain a Rock Mushroom, which he can use to plow through the sheet of ice covering the waterfall and into the cave beyond which, surprisingly, is full of lava. From here, it's simply a matter of navigating the cave, using the powers of the Rock Mushroom, until Mario encounters a group of Podobros, who are attempting to explore the cave deeper. Using the Rock Mushroom, Mario can blast through the weakened wall which outside of the cave, not far from the cold cliff. The Podobros are disappointed, but reward Mario with the Comet Star for his assistance.
