Upon Morton's defeat by the third hit, the key to leave the castle appears. Unlike his tower battle, Morton does not use his magic and his ground pounds do not stun players who are on the ground. Morton also slides in his shell when hit, trying to hit players. When he gets close enough to a player, he jumps and Ground Pounds, causing the pillars on opposite sides of him to shoot up to the ceiling, which makes the player lose a life if they get crushed. When Magikoopa casts his magic, at first nothing looks different except the stone pillars have slightly lowered. The room's floor is composed of six stone pillars, which Morton uses in his offensive tactics. A ? Block containing a power-up is found above an Invisible Block, followed by the blue doors. More pendulum platforms are found, along with some Big Dry Bones. A Star is found in an Invisible Block above a brick.

Metal platforms are found moving in the lava, with Spiked Balls falling from a spiked platform above. Through the Warp Pipe, a Lava Bubble is found, along with a ? Block containing a power-up.

The midway point is found at the end of the area, along with a Warp Pipe leading to the next section.

More pendulums follow, along with Spiked Balls. Dry Bones on a row of bricks are found above some Lava Bubbles and platforms. More pendulums follow, with Lava Bubbles found jumping out of the lava. The level begins near a pendulum platform with ? Blocks above it, one of which contains a power-up.
