'''Sparkling Waters''' is a location introduced in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''.

==History==
===''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''===
Sparkling Waters is a world in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and their [[reissue]]s included in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', and can be either the third or fourth world visited, depending on whether the player chooses to go there or to [[Frosted Glacier]] after beating [[Morton|Morton Koopa Jr.]] in [[Morton's Compactor Castle]] ([[Morton's Lava-Block Castle]] in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''). The player can reach it by moving south from the end of [[Layer-Cake Desert]]. Sparkling Waters lies east of [[Acorn Plains]], south-east from Layer-Cake Desert, south from [[Frosted Glacier]], west from [[Soda Jungle]] and [[Rock-Candy Mines]] and south-west from [[Meringue Clouds]] and [[Peach's Castle (world)|Peach's Castle]]. Sparkling Waters is an archipelago with bubbling [[Water Geyser]]s, which is quite similar to [[World 3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 3]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' as that tropical world also had multiple islands. It is one of two of the worlds that the player can choose from after beating [[Morton|Morton Koopa Jr.]] in [[Morton's Compactor Castle]] ([[Morton's Lava-Block Castle]] in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''). There are 9 levels in this world, consisting of 5 normal levels, a haunted shipwreck, a secret level, and the [[Tower]] and [[Castle]] level. There is a [[Balloon Baby Yoshi]] between [[Above the Cheep Cheep Seas]] and [[Urchin Shoals]]. The Tower boss is [[Boom Boom]] with a new [[jump]]ing ability and the Castle boss of this world is [[Larry|Larry Koopa]].  One color of each [[Toad House]] can be found here, along with the [[Secret Island]], seen just left of Sparkling Waters. In the underwater reef sections, red [[Cheep Cheep]]s can be seen in the background.
