The cloud pattern on the ceiling can also be seen on the second floor in normal paintings that Mario cannot enter, and even later in the entrance holes of [[Rainbow Ride]] and [[Over the Rainbows|Wing Mario Over the Rainbow]]. Although the sunlight disappears once the red switch has been activated, Mario can still return to the level by standing in the same spot and looking up. | ||
