It has been requested that this section be rewritten and expanded to add a better description of the actual layout rather than rough descriptions and comparisons (tagged on July 20, 2020).
Set high in the sky, this auto scrolling stage contains very little in the way of solid ground. Instead, players must use the backs of red Para-Beetles to progress through the level. In this way, it is similar to Level 5-6, as well as Level 7-6 from New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Aside from the persistent danger of missing a jump and falling, there are few obstacles in the stage.
