| | '''World 8''' is the final world of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] travel to this world after defeating [[Monty Tank]] or [[Lakithunder]], or using the cannon in World 5. This world is divided into two parts: a "dark forest" area, and a "lava" area (which cannot be seen until the player beats the first castle, even on the map on the touch screen); both having their separate [[tower]]s and [[castle]]s. The bosses of this world are [[Bowser Jr.]] (fought twice alone), [[Dry Bowser]], and a resurrected [[Bowser]] fighting alongside Bowser Jr., making up a total of four boss battles, the most of any world in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series. |

| '''World 8''' is the final world of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] travel to this world in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' after defeating [[Monty Tank]] or [[Lakithunder]], or using the World 8 cannon in World 5. It starts out as a dark forest area. It is also the largest world in the game, both physically and in terms of levels. The boss of the 1st castle in this world is [[Dry Bowser]]. He acts like regular Bowser, but he also throws bones. As a result, jumping over him is difficult. Then, after Mario defeats him, a new bridge appears outside, and they head into a lava plain.
| | The first half of the world has a "spooky" theme; featuring [[Splunkin]]s, [[Scuttlebug]]s and [[Crowber]]s, and featuring the same music as the [[Ghost House]] levels. Notably, this is the only world to have [[Boo]]s in a non-Ghost House level. The second half introduces rising lava and unique enemies such as [[Sledge Bro]]s., [[Fire Bro]]s., [[Kab-omb]]s, and [[Volcanic debris]]. |
|
| |
|
| After traversing through four more levels, they reach the second tower, filled with snake blocks. Finally, they reach [[Bowser's Castle]], separated by other castles by its size and green color. Before the boss fight, Bowser Jr. lets out his trademark snicker, then throws [[Dry Bowser]]'s remains into a cauldron with a face resembling that of a [[Koopa Clown Car]]. A larger-than-life Bowser exits the cauldron. [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] turn around and look at Mario, and start the final boss fight, which is a rather unfair 2-vs.-1 battle. After that, Peach is freed and gives Mario (or Luigi) a kiss, and the credits begin to roll.
| | [[File:NSMB Lava Bridge.png|thumb|left|200px|The bridge rises to allow Bowser Jr. to escape.]] |
| | Unlike all the other worlds, this world does not feature secret exits or unlockable courses. One of each type of [[Toad House]] can be found in the forest area, but none can be found in the lava area. |
|
| |
|
| The four regular stages in the volcanic area are much shorter than other stages in the game.
| | A racecourse called [[Wii Grumble Volcano|Grumble Volcano]] which has a similar theme to this world is featured in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', and returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. |
| | |
| Unlike all the other worlds, this world has no shortcuts. There are no secret exits or unlockable courses. World 6 has no secret exits, but extra courses can be purchased. World 8 has no secret courses.

| The first level in World 8 takes place on a barren wasteland, filled with [[Crowber]]s, [[Bullet Bill]]s, [[Banzai Bill]]s, [[Boo]]s, and [[Splunkin]]s. The first Star Coin is accessed by putting a spring on top of two blocks quite near the start. Mario will bounce up to the coin and drop down near the blocks. The next Star Coin is after the midway point, near a [[Boo]]. Mario has to jump on top of on top a [[Bullet Bill]] to reach the coin. The final coin is very close to the second, and directly underneath the path of a [[Banzai Bill]]. Mario must wait for the Banzai Bill to go over him, then jump down and get the coin.

| The next level is an underground level, with [[? Switch|? Switches]] that cause water to rise inside and give Mario access to pipes. There is also a pipe Mario can enter if Mario is in his mini form. After one area, Mario goes to an area with many sinking barrels and [[Skeeter (New Super Mario Bros.)|Skeeter]]s in between them. After getting past the barrel area, Mario can either go down the mini pipe or a normal one. The normal pipe leads to an area filled with [[Brick Block]]s, which he can ground pound to get the first coin. The mini-pipe leads to an area with eight [[Micro Goomba]]s and a [[Question Block]] containing a [[Star]]. After two more watery areas with Skeeters and [[? Switch]]es, Mario will reach the goal.

| |
| This is an underwater level with many [[Unagi]]s on a vertical stretch of the level near the start, before a horizontal area with a [[Mega Unagi]] which chases [[Mario]]/[[Luigi]] through the area. All of the [[Star Coin]]s are in the horizontal area, likely because the level isnt very calm, and underground music plays instead of the underwater theme. The level's background also resembles the underground background.
| |
| | |
| ===Star Coins===
| |
| * '''Star Coin 1:''' The first one is after the [[Mega Unagi]] starts chasing [[Mario]]; keep swimming right until there is a stair-like platform with a [[Star Coin]] next to it.
| |
| * '''Star Coin 2:''' The second one is shortly after the first Star Coin; swim up above the Brick Block platform, then break the top Brick Blocks (which cannot be done as [[Small Mario]]) and grab the [[Star Coin]].
| |
| * '''Star Coin 3:''' The third one is next to a group of four Brick Blocks; keep as far as possible from the Mega Unagi to get enough time to grab the Coin before it catches up.

| This level is filled with [[Scuttlebug]]s and has a lot of moving platforms, particularly those seen in towers or castles. [[Scuttlebug]]s will keep re-spawning from above throughout the whole level. The first Star Coin is just before the midway point, on a high ledge. After going on some moving platforms, there is the second [[Star Coin]], then an invincibility star. Mini Mario can access the third [[Star Coin]], by going into a tiny pipe, with [[Micro Goomba]]s in it. Also, there are several invincibility stars, helping [[Mini Mario]] to perform the jumps required to get the coin and get out. At the end of the level, a single Scuttlebug hanging on a string guards the flagpole.

| This stage is the final level of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', being [[Bowser's Castle]]. Once the Mario Bros. are inside, they will encounter a massive amount of traps, including [[Rocket Engine]]s and [[Thwomp]]s. This level is the longest in the game, and some parts of it require pressing one of the many [[? Switch]]es to be found. These switches will flip the gravity of the castle upside down, and any enemy along with it. This action is required for getting to certain doors. Because this is the biggest stage, players are given 800 seconds to complete the level.
| |
| | |
| The first room of the castle involves crossing lava on solid platforms that are close by to each other, in which [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] can run across, players have to avoid [[Podoboo]]s while running across the platforms, after crossing the platforms and avoiding all the [[Podoboo]]s, there is a door which will lead to the next room. In the second room there is three Brick Blocks and a door that is on the ceiling, the right one contains a [[Fire Flower]] and the middle one contains a [[? Switch]], jump on the [[? Switch]] to rotate the room around to be upside-down and then enter the door. In the third room, there is 3 Brick Blocks at the entrance and [[Rocket Engine]]s, avoid the [[Rocket Engine]]s and the [[Dry Bones]] in the middle part, then avoid more [[Rocket Engine]]s on the way across to the right and then enter the door. The fourth room at the entrance has a [[Super Thwomp]] and a narrow passage, the player must run passed the [[Super Thwomp]] when it starts to rise and then hit the 3rd Brick Block next to the [[Super Thwomp]] to reveal a [[? Switch]] and then jump on it to turn the room upside-down and the [[Super Thwomp]] will remain in the same part of the screen while the screen is rotating, then avoid the [[Super Thwomp]] again and enter the next room. The fifth room contains [[Rocket Engine]]s and [[Dry Bones]], avoid them while moving left and keep moving left and jump over the long gap containing [[Spike (obstacle)|spikes]] and hit the lone Brick Block to reveal a Red [[? Switch]], while avoiding the [[Rocket Engine]] press the Red [[? Switch]] to make a platform appear, and then move back to the middle part of the room then jump onto the ledge above while avoiding the [[Rocket Engine]]s and then enter the door. In this room, there are [[Thwomps]], avoid them while moving right, then move left while avoiding the [[Thwomp]] and collect the first Star Coin, then avoid the [[Thwomp]] again while moving right and avoid the [[Dry Bones]] and start moving right on the ledge below halfway and hit the Brick Block on the right which will reveal a [[? Switch]], press it and the room will turn upside-down with the [[Thwomp]]s staying on the same part of the screen while rotating, to the right there is a [[Thwomp]] and a [[Dry Bones]] to avoid before entering the door which will go back to the previous room. Back in this room, there will be a platform that has appeared after pressing the Red [[? Switch]] from earlier, there is a door on the right which will take [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) straight to the sixth room of the castle, but instead jump onto the platform and enter the door on the left. In this room, move to the right below the stairs to find the 2nd Star Coin, climb up the stairs and enter the door. In the seventh room, climb up the stairs and enter the door. This will take you to a long looping room (about half of the castle). When you come to three platforms, jump on them in this order. (Bottom, Top, Middle. Then pound the bricks and jump and wall jump. This will give you the third star coin and the last of the game.

| |
| After crossing the checkpoint flag, the second part of the castle is a long looping room, similar to the looping castles of [[World 4 (Super Mario Bros.)#World 4-4|4-4]] and [[World 7 (Super Mario Bros.)#World 7-4|7-4]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' while players are avoiding a [[Podoboo]] and a [[Firebar]], which can be passed by walking on the right platforms; a buzzer noise alerts players if they pass along the wrong platform. After that, collect the 3rd Star Coin which is trapped by some unbreakable blocks, a passable platform and two Brick Blocks, destroy the Brick Blocks with a Ground Pound and then get up the stairs and go back down while sliding to collect the 3rd and final Star Coin. Once that is done, enter the boss door.

| Once inside the room, the player will encounter [[Bowser Jr.]] on a long bridge over a deep pit. He will toss [[Bowser|his father]]'s bones into the cauldron, thus reviving him, much to [[Princess Peach]]'s horror.
| |
| | |
| The duo will then fight Mario/Luigi together, with Bowser Jr. using his usual shell-tossing tactic, and his father breathing flames behind him. After the player defeats Bowser Jr., his father will increase his attacks greatly. When Bowser breathes blue fire it can turn Mario/Luigi into [[Mini Mario]] or [[Mini Luigi]]. Mario/Luigi must then run under one of Bowser's giant jumps and hit the [[Skull Switch]] at the end of the bridge, ending the fight and winning the game. Another way to win is if the player has a [[Mega Mushroom]] as a stored item; upon using it, the player can jump on Bowser, then make Bowser Jr. fall after hitting the Skull Switch. The player can also hit the Skull Switch without defeating Bowser Jr., causing both him and Bowser to plummet. The player can also defeat Bowser before his son using a Fire Flower, but it will not change how Bowser Jr. attacks. The platform that Princess Peach is standing on will disappear, she floats down saying, "Thank You!" and rewarding [[Mario]]/[[Luigi]] with a soft kiss.
