The Owl Course,^[1] also referred to as Final Boss: The Big Bird,^[2] is the final level of the Tree Zone in Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins. This level takes place at the top of the tree. The Big Bird is fought at the end of this level.

Layout

Near the start of the level is a moving platform Mario can use to reach a ? Block containing a Fire Flower. Next are some Para-Goombas hovering over small pits. After that is a sleeping owl known as Heavy Zed. Mario must jump on him to wake him and cause him to start flying, allowing him to reach a higher platform. There are then two more Heavy Zeds Mario can use as platforms to make it across to two ? Blocks. After this are clouds Mario can also use as platforms. The Mid-Point Bell is just ahead.

Here, there is the Dondon, followed by lifts Mario can use to reach two more ? Blocks. The one on the left contains a Carrot, while the one on the right contains a 1-Up Heart. There is then a pipe Mario can go up to get to a Para-Goomba and fifteen ? Blocks. A Fire Flower can be found in one of the blocks, while a Star can be found in another. There is then another pipe Mario can use to get back down. There is a group of coins between the pipes. Ahead of this are a few more Para-Goombas and clouds, with a pipe leading to the battle with the Big Bird at the very end.

• Decorative clouds which resemble the letters M and W (likely for Mario and Wario) can be seen in this level. They are located behind the ? Block containing a 1 UP Heart and just before the pipe at the end of the level, respectively.
