'''Soda Jungle''' is the jungle-themed fifth world of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''. It is the largest world in the game, both physically and in terms of courses. It is inspired by [[Giant Land]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', [[Forest of Illusion]] from ''[[Super Mario World]]'', and [[World 4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 4]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' in terms of appearance, layout, and theme, as the jungle is giant-themed within both the world map and the normal levels and features big enemies or big variations of small enemies, like [[Big Goomba]]s and [[Big Koopa Troopa]]s. The dead trees in the center of the jungle leads to a haunted area, containing a few extra courses, including [[Boo]] [[Enemy Course]]s. This also makes this world the only world in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' with more than one section. When the player enters the area, the area pixelates before loading again, similar to the transition screen in ''Super Mario World''. The name is derived from [[Wikipedia:Soda|soda]] as a reference to the [[Poison (obstacle)|poison]] in the world. There are twelve levels in this world, with the first Airship level appearing before entering the section, five normal levels in the outer areas, two that are in the haunted area along with the second [[Ghost House]] and the Boo Enemy Courses, a secret level, the [[Tower]] level and [[Castle]] level. Three [[Toad House]]s can be found here as well, one green and two red. The bosses of this world are [[Bowser Jr.]], a larger [[Boom Boom]], and [[Iggy Koopa]].

There are several ways to enter this world. Completing [[Sparkling Waters]] or [[Frosted Glacier]] normally will bring Mario to [[The Mighty Cannonship]] ([[All Aboard!]] in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''), the first airship in the game. Finishing [[Acorn Plains]] and [[Layer-Cake Desert]]'s secret levels will immediately take Mario to Soda Jungle. However, if the player manages to complete Sparkling Waters or Frosted Glacier's secret levels, they will both lead to [[Fuzzy Clifftop]], [[Rock-Candy Mines]]' first level, bypassing Soda Jungle. Thus, every world before Soda Jungle leads to the latter by completing the previous world's castle. Soda Jungle also leads to every world afterward besides [[Peach's Castle (world)|Peach's Castle]] and [[Superstar Road]].

In the haunted area in Soda Jungle, Mario must take an alternate exit in either [[Painted Swampland]] or [[Deepsea Ruins]] ([[Painted Pipeworks]] or [[Deepsea Stone-Eyes]] for Luigi in ''New Super Luigi U'') in order to create a pathway that will allow him to leave the haunted area and proceed through the world, in a manner similar to the Forest of Illusion in ''Super Mario World''; taking the normal paths otherwise in either stage will bring him back to the pathway in front of [[Which-Way Labyrinth]] ([[Boo's Favorite Haunt]] in ''New Super Luigi U'').
