Layout[edit]

Map of World 2-5 of Super Mario Bros. 3

The player starts on a plain with several Wood Blocks and a Chain Chomp, and in one of the two ? Blocks nearby is a power-up. Past the stacked Semisolid Platforms is another Chain Chomp and a Koopa Troopa walking along a row of Brick Blocks, underneath of which is a Wood Block the player can bump to get a power-up. Across a pit are more Semisolid Platforms with Goombas and another Chain Chomp. In the area afterward with an enclosed space with Brick Blocks at the bottom; the player can kick a Koopa's shell into the narrow area to create a Vine that leads to a secret room with coins and a Switch Block, the exit pipe of which will drop the player into a floating Semi Solid Platform area where a power-up can be collected. Afterward is the goal with a Chain Chomp underneath it.

In the NES version, this level uses a palette where green is replaced by light brown and white is replaced by dark brown; the Fire Flower in the goal (while it is flashing before Mario collects the card) is affected. The reason for this is so the moving portion of the beanstalk (which is on the sprite layer) uses the same color as the unmoving portion (which is on the background layer).
