I'm stuck on the first ghost house and confused about what to do ....I beat the level the wrong way at first, where I get the moon which gives me 3 up. Now, I go through and beat the level as instructed by the walk through, and nothing is happening.

Do I have to re-start the game all together, or is there a way out of this level so I can proceed further in the game?

thanks! ( i have not played this game in YEARS. I just got it for Wii, enjoying it so much! I'd just like to keep going and I'm stuck)

There are 3 doors around there. I forget which one leads where, so just run through the level 3 times and experiment with each of them. That ghost house isn't really that hard.

the fircking ghose house won't get you out. the 3ed forest of illusions takes you out of the place. you just gointo a pipe near the end of the level with super mario or the green guy (I can't spell his name.) then do a spin jump on the blocks to brake them, and then move the key to the key hole. treate it the same way you would with a shell. now if you have yoshi hust put the key in his mouth and walk over the key hole. It took me forever to get that.
