World 3 is the third normal world appearing in New Super Mario Bros. 2. This world is both beach and jungle-themed, although the map music is recycled from World 4 of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, which is a beach-themed world. The world is also similar to World 3 from New Super Mario Bros. This world is unlocked after completing World 2-Castle or World Mushroom-Castle. The first half of the map is located at the seaside while the second half is located inland, where the jungle is, although the levels can take place between any of the two locations regardless of its position on the world map. There is a total of twelve levels and three Toad Houses (one of each kind) in this world, making it the longest world in New Super Mario Bros. 2, tied with World 4. This world has a total of fifteen exits. Of the twelve levels, eight are levels on the main path. Of these levels, five are normal levels, one is a Ghost House and the other two are the Tower and Castle levels. Of the remaining four levels, two of them are normal levels (one is a secret level), one is the Warp Cannon level and the last is the Rainbow Course. The world's boss is Wendy O. Koopa, who is fought at the Castle. The Warp Cannon leads to World Flower. World 3 is the only world whose Castle level is not the rightmost level, due to a Toad House appearing southeast of the castle. World 3 is also optional as it can be bypassed by completing World 
Mushroom-
Warp Cannon.
