The bonus area

This level has the same floor and background as World 8-2.

One of the Advance Coins in this level is hidden in an area accessed by a Warp Pipe after the large gap. The player has to find a Triangular Block and keep running through other Triangular Blocks, and if the player stops, they fall on a floor filled with Munchers.

After an uneventful beginning, the level quickly transitions into a smooth downward slope, culminating in a note block that propels the player character across a gap, the largest in the level. After that, there is a gentle hill, which forms the majority of the level, with the terrain going one screen-size of height upwards, and two downwards. At the bottom of the slope there are coins in the shape of a symbol resembling a stylized "e+". A Boomerang Brother with a blue boomerang then comes before the goal.

This is the only level outside Japan to feature Triangular Blocks and the Boomerang power-up. This is also the first World-e level to include Flippers.
