The game is divided into nine worlds, which vary in length. One new feature is that the game features an overworld map, and in some cases there are branching paths that the player can take. In addition to different levels, the map also has enemies roaming, and if they player makes contact with them, they will enter a separate screen where the enemies are battled. In most of the worlds, there is one fortress containing a mini boss and a palace which the Kooapling's airship is anchored to. The airship is navigated to reach the Koopaling in question, who must be defeated to proceed to the next world.
