Rock-Candy Mines is the mountainous sixth world of New Super Mario Bros. U. It is physically the smallest world and it lies east of Acorn Plains, Sparkling Waters, and Soda Jungle, southeast of Layer-Cake Desert, Frosted Glacier, and Meringue Clouds, and south of Peach's Castle. Rock-Candy Mines is a world filled with tall, pillar-like mountains in somewhat irregular shapes. The name is derived from rock candy. There are ten levels in this world, with seven normal levels, two Towers and the Castle level. The boss of this world is Roy Koopa.
There are multiple ways to enter this world. One is to complete Iggy's Volcanic Castle, Soda Jungle's castle, normally. The other two are to complete Fliprus Lake or Skyward Stalk, Frosted Glacier and Sparkling Waters' secret levels, respectively.
