Mario, who is unable to jump onto a platform in the first area, breaks through the screen, and through a series of events he winds up in a refrigerator, drinks some milk, becomes super-sized, and starts walking on the top of the level. However, the level shown in the commercial differs from the one in-game in that the sky is bright blue instead of dark. | *This world was used in a [[List of Mario references in advertisements#Got Milk?|Got Milk? commercial]] in the late 1990s.

*The term "downtown" normally refers to the commercial center in a city, whereas "uptown" is where one would find residencies like houses and apartments. The "uptown" of Wet-Dry World appears to have much more commercial activity (especially construction), while the "downtown" area contains several homes and what appears to be a central park. | *The term "downtown" normally refers to the commercial center in a city, whereas "uptown" is where one would find residencies like houses and apartments.
