Pipe in chocolate island

#thp{O_O1}
How do you access both pipes on chocolate island in SMW?


Keep your spirits high, and your noodle sweaty!
That's Chocolate Island 2, isn't it? As a red level it has got a secret exit. Since CI2 is dependent on your progress (more specifically, total coins collected, time left and Dragon Coins collected, same order in how you enter pipes). As for the secret exit, you need to be fast, have at least 250 seconds left when you enter the second pipe (the other two paths lead to the normal exit, coin count doesn't matter).

Here is an image which shows which progression leads to which room.

thanks

Fun fact. Not being able to find this exit nine years ago is what led me to discover SMW hacking and this community.
Yeah, this one level was always pretty tricky for me to figure out fully lmao; the normal and secret exit wasn't hard at all tho (probably because I do tend to rush through levels a lot and not caring much about whatever coin I collect), but I don't think I have ever really seen the down sections of both the first and third parts of the stage either, probably because I barely cared about the dragon coins in SMW anyway #w{xD}

It's pretty interesting that the first down section actually demands you to use the cape powerup to get across, and Yoshi probably wouldn't be much help either, not even Blue Yoshi, which honestly is what I wished the bonus pipe in Donut Plains 1 actually did instead; a much better tutorial on how to use the cape IMO, even tho I just kind of learned how to use it on my own lol

the third down section is also interesting too, since it's really the only way you'll be able to get all of the dragon coins in the level, and it really tells you how this gimmick focus a lot on rewarding the player no matter what you do; also needing all 4 Switch Palaces cleared in that section is a bit unnecessary, but at that point if you're doing a 100% run you probably will have pressed them all already (like I do everytime I play SMW like this) lmao, plus you can just use the P-Switch and go through that way instead, which is much more dangerous but still fairly doable :V
