World 5-5 (Super Mario Bros. 3)

World 5-5 is the fifth normal level, and the seventh level overall in Sky Land from Super Mario Bros. 3.

Layout

Almost the entire level is made up of Donut Blocks. Mario starts on a Hard Block, with two Koopa Paratroopas and a Paragoomba nearby. Afterwards, there are some more Hard Blocks, one of them with a power-up inside, some Brick Blocks blocking Warp Pipes, and some ? Blocks, one also containing a power-up. These are guarded by another Koopa Paratroopa and two Fire Piranha Plants. Shortly after this, there are two rows of coins above and below a Donut Block bridge, along with a Flame Chomp. There are also some Fire Piranha Plants, as well as Hard Blocks and Brick Blocks, two containing power-ups. This is followed by a Paragoomba and some more Koopa Paratroopas; after this, the player reaches the goal.

The bonus area

By entering the second Warp Pipe at the beginning of the level, the player can find a bonus area with some coins and a Tanooki Suit.

Collecting 28 coins in this stage will make a White Mushroom House with a P-Wing appear on the map.
