Fireworks

These celebratory fireworks were a mystery until players discovered the obscure, almost algebraic, criteria required to prompt their appearance after pulling the flag. Turns out all you have to do is multiply the dividend, then find the square root of the height of the flagpole. Simply add that to the number of Goombas in the level and Presto! Fireworks.

A shortcut would be to grab the flag with either 1, 3, or 6 seconds left on the ones place of the timer.
