Mutawarrior promoted this achievement to the Core set.

This achievement unlocks when you get to Birdo's room (specifically when you're standing in the doorway of the shortcut).

Worked well. Remember this dirty little trick.
ShadwSonic 28 Jul 2020 17:01
How the heck? Googling it doesn't help, and somehow, stacking 5 shrooms and a Shy Guy just isn't enough even with Mario!
Mutawarrior 28 Jul 2020 19:55
Stacking them won't but placing them on the ______ will ;)
Gamingnerd 29 Jul 2020 04:22
Wow! Now this is definitely something you need to think literally "outside" the box for...
ShadwSonic 29 Jul 2020 10:05
Okay, now that I've done this, I'm still thinking "How the heck"... Not because it's difficult mind you, just that it's... really weird.

Figured out how you are supposed to do this achievement, but was stubborn and wanted to see if my original strategy would work. It was much harder, but I managed it with stacking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yU3Ohfxm0Yo
