'''Meringue Clouds''' is the cloudy seventh world of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''. It lies east of [[Acorn Plains]], [[Layer-Cake Desert]], [[Sparkling Waters]], and [[Frosted Glacier]], northeast of [[Soda Jungle]], northwest of [[Rock-Candy Mines]], and south of [[Peach's Castle (world)|Peach's Castle]]. The world can be either accessed by completing [[Roy's Conveyor Castle]] or completing [[Flight of the Para-Beetles]], Soda Jungle's secret level. (In ''New Super Luigi U'', these levels are replaced by [[Roy's Ironclad Castle]] and [[Para-Beetle Parade]], respectively.)

Meringue Clouds is a sky world similar to [[World 7]] from previous ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games. Unlike other sky levels in the game, hills are visible in the background of Meringue Clouds' sky levels, and two of them take place during sunset. [[Ludwig's Clockwork Castle]] takes place right in front of the tornado surrounding Peach's Castle, which is marked off by different cloud coloration. It seems to take place over a cliff next to [[World 1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1]], the grass-themed world from the previous ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games, in between [[Rock-Candy Mines]] and [[Peach's Castle]]. Its name is derived from [[wikipedia:Meringue|a French dessert made from whipped egg whites and sugar]]. There are 10 levels in this world, with 6 normal levels, one being the third [[Ghost House]] in the game, the [[Tower]] level, the [[Castle]] level and the [[Airship]] level. The bosses of this world are [[Kamek|Magikoopa]], [[Ludwig von Koopa]], and [[Bowser Jr.]]
