Gloomy Swamp is the 8th course in Super Mario: The Power Star Journey. When you enter the 2nd overworld, walk to the other edge of the grassland towards the green stone bridge above the swampy quicksand. The level is a swamp full of quicksand and extremely small, awkward platforms. The weird and small shaped platforms, which must either be climbed or crossed, coupled with the Snufits that can easily push you into the swamp, makes this a frustrating stage. However, most of the star locations are faily close together. There are also no red coins or secrets, making this a very straight forward stage.
