==History==
===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===
Sky Land is unlocked after completing [[Giant Land]] in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. It has nine [[level]]s, three [[Hammer Bro]]thers, two [[fortress]]es, three [[Toad House]]s, three [[Spade Panel]]s, a special [[tower]] level, and a [[castle]] that has been taken over by an [[airship]]. There are two parts to the world, "The Ground" and "The Sky," connected by the tower level. The first three levels, the first fortress, the first Toad House, one Spade Panel, and two of the Hammer Brothers are on the ground, while everything else is in the sky. The world's airship can move between the two. The [[kings|king of Sky Land]] is an older man, wearing a crown, and with long white hair, and a long white beard. During the events of the game, the [[Koopalings|Koopaling]] [[Roy Koopa]] turns him into a bird; the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] versions of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' see him get turned into an [[Albatoss]].  


The [[kings|king of Sky Land]] is an older man, wearing a crown, and with long white hair, and a long white beard. During the events of the game, the [[Koopalings|Koopaling]] [[Roy Koopa]] turns him into a vulture; the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] versions of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' see him get turned into an [[Albatoss]].  
This is the only world that can be returned to after completion, which is done by using the [[Warp Whistle]] in [[Ice Land]] and picking the [[Warp Pipe]] in the [[Warp Zone (Super Mario Bros. 3)|Warp Zone]] that takes the player back to Sky Land, with all progress reset.


The ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' map shows that the ground area of Sky Land was located to the east of [[Giant Land]], and south of [[Dark Land]].
The ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' map shows that the ground area of World 5 was located to the east of [[Giant Land|World 4]] and south of [[Dark Land|World 8]]. The ground map has a different layout when seen on the map on "The Sky"; the hills are arranged differently, the lake appears to be missing, the tower is southwest of where it normally is, and an additional path is shown at the northwest of it. This was fixed in the Game Boy Advance version. The map icon for the fortress in the sky portion is also colored blue, which occurs only in this world.  


==Level information==
A sped-up version of the sky portion's music is reused as part of [[Princess Peach]]'s [[Final Smash]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], [[Peach Blossom]].

[[File:SkyLandCartoon.jpg|thumb|Sky Land in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''.]]
[[File:SkyLandCartoon.jpg|thumb|Sky Land in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''.]]
Sky Land appeared in several episodes of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The ground portion of Sky Land never made an appearance; Sky Land was implied to exist directly above the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] itself, and is connected to the mainland by a stairway made out of floating blocks. Sky Land is ruled by [[Emperor Ed]].

Sky Land is ruled by [[Emperor Ed]].


'''[[Reign Storm]]''': One of the problems that Mario and Luigi face while trying to run the Mushroom Kingdom during [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]'s absence is that the stairway to Sky Land is floating off and dropping people in the garbage dump.

'''[[A Toadally Magical Adventure]]''': While unstated, the [[Ace Magic Wand Factory]] seems to be based in Sky Land. Bowser and several Koopalings have their sights set on obtaining a special wand that is being delivered to the [[Wizard King of the West]]; having spotted the Koopas, the Wizard King of the West alerts the Mario Bros. and requests for them to prevent the wand from being stolen.

'''[[Up, Up, and a Koopa]]''': After abducting Emperor Ed, Bowser uses [[Ludwig von Koopa|Kooky]]'s new [[Kooper-Dooper Raiser-Upper]] from onboard the [[Airship#The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3|Doom Ship]] to levitate everything in the Mushroom Kingdom up to Sky Land (sometimes called "Sky World" in this episode) in an attempt to force [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] into surrendering her kingdom. However, Bowser overloads the Raiser-Upper causing everything that was being levitated to fall back down to the Mushroom Kingdom. In the process, Emeperor Ed falls out of the Doom Ship and lands on [[Toad]]. He alerts Princess Toadstool as to what's going on, so Mario and Luigi obtain [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon Power]] to bring Emperor Ed back to Sky Land and fly to the Doom Ship. However, they get caught, prompting Princess Toadstool and Toad to fly up to Sky Land using [[P-Wing]]s. Bowser then decides to take over Sky Land as well by tormenting its people with the Raiser Upper. However, Princess Toadstool and Toad make it to the Doom Ship, where they rescue Mario and Luigi. The group steals the Raiser Upper and use it to not only restore Sky Land and the Mushroom Kingdom back to normal, but to levitate the Doom Ship back to [[Dark Land]].

*There is a glitch in the original version where the Airship can "hide" in an undetermined area between "The Ground" and "The Sky". This means that, if this happens, the player can be permanently stuck and unable to continue, as they cannot reach the Airship to challenge it. The Airship appears to be in the top left corner of Sky Land's screen, where a miniature version of the ground is visible.<ref>{{cite|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=AClCpyg6toI|title=''Super Mario Bros. 3'' - World 5 Airship Glitch|author=EyeCarumba|date=May 11, 2013|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=June 24, 2024|language=en}}</ref>
*There is a glitch in the original NES version of the game in which the Airship can "hide" in an undetermined area between "The Ground" and "The Sky". This means that, if this happens, the player can be permanently stuck and unable to continue, as they cannot reach the Airship to challenge it. The Airship appears to be in the top left corner of Sky Land's screen, where a miniature version of the ground is visible.
*The ground map on the NES and SNES versions has a different layout when seen on the map on "The Sky"; there are more turns in the path in the actual game, and it shows a path Mario cannot take going north from the Tower. This was fixed in the GBA version.
*The map icon for the fortress is given a blue coloring for the sky portion of this world.  This does not occur anywhere else in the game.
*The tower that takes Mario/Luigi to the sky portion of the game resembles Mount Purgatory from Dante Alighieri's ''{{wp|Divine Comedy}}''; the mountain also leads to heaven, just as the tower leads to the sky.
*The music that plays during [[Princess Peach]]'s [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' is a sped-up remix of the theme that plays on the sky portion of Sky Land.

Sky Land[1][2] (alternatively The Sky,[3] Cloud Castle,[4] or Sky World[5]) is the fifth world in Super Mario Bros. 3.

History[edit]

Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

Sky Land is unlocked after completing Giant Land in Super Mario Bros. 3. It has nine levels, three Hammer Brothers, two fortresses, three Toad Houses, three Spade Panels, a special tower level, and a castle that has been taken over by an airship. There are two parts to the world, "The Ground" and "The Sky," connected by the tower level. The first three levels, the first fortress, the first Toad House, one Spade Panel, and two of the Hammer Brothers are on the ground, while everything else is in the sky. The world's airship can move between the two. The king of Sky Land is an older man, wearing a crown, and with long white hair, and a long white beard. During the events of the game, the Koopaling Roy Koopa turns him into a bird; the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy Advance versions of Super Mario Bros. 3 see him get turned into an Albatoss.

This is the only world that can be returned to after completion, which is done by using the Warp Whistle in Ice Land and picking the Warp Pipe in the Warp Zone that takes the player back to Sky Land, with all progress reset.

The Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 map shows that the ground area of World 5 was located to the east of World 4 and south of World 8. The ground map has a different layout when seen on the map on "The Sky"; the hills are arranged differently, the lake appears to be missing, the tower is southwest of where it normally is, and an additional path is shown at the northwest of it. This was fixed in the Game Boy Advance version. The map icon for the fortress in the sky portion is also colored blue, which occurs only in this world.

A sped-up version of the sky portion's music is reused as part of Princess Peach's Final Smash in the Super Smash Bros. series, Peach Blossom.

Sky Land has the following levels:

The arenas are similar between them, with two rows of seven bricks, though the area they are fought in differs by location. One of the Hammer Brother pairs on land will reward the player with a P-Wing upon being defeated, while the other will drop a Starman. The Hammer Brothers in the sky will leave behind a Music Box. If the player meets the prerequisites for the Treasure Ship, a Hammer Brother will turn into the ship.

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

Sky Land
Sky Land in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3.

Sky Land appeared in several episodes of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3. The ground portion of Sky Land never made an appearance; Sky Land was implied to exist directly above the Mushroom Kingdom itself, and is connected to the mainland by a stairway made out of floating blocks. Sky Land is ruled by Emperor Ed.

Reign Storm: One of the problems that Mario and Luigi face while trying to run the Mushroom Kingdom during Princess Toadstool's absence is that the stairway to Sky Land is floating off and dropping people in the garbage dump.

A Toadally Magical Adventure: The first episode where this world is shown as the title card. While unstated, the Ace Magic Wand Factory seems to be based in Sky Land. Bowser and several Koopalings have their sights set on obtaining a special wand that is being delivered to the Wizard King of the West; having spotted the Koopas, the Wizard King of the West alerts the Mario Bros. and requests for them to prevent the wand from being stolen.

Up, Up, and a Koopa: The second episode where this world is shown as the title card. After abducting Emperor Ed, Bowser uses Kooky's new Kooper-Dooper Raiser-Upper from onboard the Doom Ship to levitate everything in the Mushroom Kingdom up to Sky Land (sometimes called "Sky World" in this episode) in an attempt to force Princess Toadstool into surrendering her kingdom. However, Bowser overloads the Raiser-Upper causing everything that was being levitated to fall back down to the Mushroom Kingdom. In the process, Emeperor Ed falls out of the Doom Ship and lands on Toad. He alerts Princess Toadstool as to what's going on, so Mario and Luigi obtain Raccoon Power to bring Emperor Ed back to Sky Land and fly to the Doom Ship. However, they get caught, prompting Princess Toadstool and Toad to fly up to Sky Land using P-Wings. Bowser then decides to take over Sky Land as well by tormenting its people with the Raiser Upper. However, Princess Toadstool and Toad make it to the Doom Ship, where they rescue Mario and Luigi. The group steals the Raiser Upper and use it to not only restore Sky Land and the Mushroom Kingdom back to normal, but to levitate the Doom Ship back to Dark Land.

Trivia[edit]

  • There is a glitch in the original version where the Airship can "hide" in an undetermined area between "The Ground" and "The Sky". This means that, if this happens, the player can be permanently stuck and unable to continue, as they cannot reach the Airship to challenge it. The Airship appears to be in the top left corner of Sky Land's screen, where a miniature version of the ground is visible.[25]
