I couldn't figure out how to get the feather though. I tried launching a shell over the trampoline blocks yet it never activates the hidden block that releases the feather no matter how I launch the shell or how it bounces around. I can get on the left trampoline block 1 out of 10 attempts via the trampolines with just enough momentum to jump from the very right edge of the pipe. Yet I can't grab the feather without dying or losing the feather straight away. Probably another 1 in 10 attempts to get out of there lol. Without the feather the jump to the bill blaster area becomes a pixel perfect jump although I also managed to lure the squid in the right position to use as a jump in between. Without the extra p-switch the timing is very tight to get to the star, at least for me. It's probably better to get that part down fast though, Bowser's fire gets me before I reach the star if I take my time with an extra switch.
I'll give it another go tonight, I know I can do all the components seperately (with a lot of attempts). It just depends on if my gamepad survives that long :)

That's how I intended it to be done, lol.

Yep, I've done that many times. The shell simply bounces around a couple times, then flies out on the top and goes back to the lower area. I pick it back up and throw it again, same result. The block won't activate no matter where I launch I from the pipe. Maybe you give it some momentum? I'm not sure if I've tried releasing it while jumping forward.
I was taking the second p-switch since I ran out of time drilling through the blocks, being too careful dropping down to the lower door.
Thanks for the tips, seeing it can be done is usually half the work :) At least I was on the right path.
Meanwhile I was dumb enough to start the 100 mario challenge on expert. Based on the parade of levels I saw there I would rate this game 3/10 at most. I much rather bang my head on your levels for hours than play that random crap lol. Too bad you don't unlock anything for being the first to clear a level or clearing a hard level. I guess it could easily be abused, but the 100 Mario challenge is the worst game design for a game like this.
