Sometimes the suction walls are a bit glitchy when trying to jump from them on the curved portion. Eventually you will reach the roof where you have to jump from a suction wall to another, across this part is the star. Ascend the slope and navigate through the path. You will get to a platform with a box and a steep suction wall.

Follow the path, avoiding the Heave-Ho and Fly Guy. From there you will see a grey pathway with bumps on it. On top of the first ramp, head towards the pile of boxes. Mario must climb the rope, jump to the platform leading to the crane, then climb to the top and carefully cross the beam to get to the Star. Now, it may be hard to see, but use the arrows to head towards the hook and rope to the right of the platform (Do not go to the crane). Now, head past the Chain Chomp towards the arrow platform. To get there, wall kick where the 2nd slope is and head left or after the first slope head left and cross the poison waste. The star is at the top and requires climbing and careful jumping to reach it to tip. It should not be hard to locate the giant crane in the stage. You can also make use of the various Thwomps for shortcuts. Then, instead of climbing higher locate the path to the tower near the Goombas. In order to get to the tower, Mario must again make his way to the top of the second slope of the factory. In this Star, Mario must utilize Wall Kicks to climb the tower of Thwomps off to the side of the stage. Do NOT enter the warp pipe before the slopes. Jump up the side of the next Yellow Slope, go around the Chuckya basin, passing the Blue Coin Switch, and climb up the remaining slopes to reach the top of the factory. Again, Mario can Wall Jump off various parts to get to the top faster. Next Mario must navigate through a bunch of small ledges with Bullet Bills and vents which will cause gusts of wind to push Mario off the edge, so stand close to the Walls. An alternative is to wall jump up the wall to the left with the row of coins, then climb the boxes to reach the top. The next slope is a little tough as a Big Steele (cannon ball) spawns when close to it, making climbing up the slope difficult. Mario can either triple jump up it (which is a little risky), or jump up the boxes to the side. Walking up them will cause Mario to slip, and if you slip from high enough, you will slide right off the stage. The next obstacle are two yellow slopes, which are very steep. Mario must go to the platform in front of him, avoiding the Bullet Bills that attack from the side. Mario starts on a platform on the edge of the stage. The objective of the first Power Star is to simply get to the top of the factory.
