World 7 is the seventh world in New Super Mario Bros. It takes place in the sky, and is made up entirely of clouds, though some levels take place in overworld or mushrooms. To get to this world, the player must defeat Petey Piranha as Mini Mario, or by taking the cannon in World 4. The enemies first encountered in World 7 include Banzai Bills, Flame Chomps, Squigglers, Burners, and Ball 'N' Chains. The boss is Lakithunder, a Lakitu riding a thunder cloud. It has the most exits out of any world in the game, containing a total of fifteen exits. This is also the only world where the player needs to find at least one secret exit to finish the world (excluding the Ghost House, whose secret exit only connects to the tower), making it similar to the Forest of Illusion from Super Mario World. World 7 can be skipped if the player gains access to World 6 by defeating Petey Piranha, the boss of World 5, in any other form than Mini Mario, or by taking the Warp Cannon in World 3 or World 5 to go to World 6 or World 8, respectively, which is unlocked by taking the secret exit in World 3-
Ghost House or World 5-
Ghost House, respectively.
