This level is straightforward, consisting of three battles (with two Coin Coffers of any color on the third battle), a ? Block, then a boss fight at the end with a Big Thwomp. The player has Fire, Water, Wood, Light and Heart Orbs on the Orb field for this course.
★World 8-7 is a difficult version of World 8-7 from ★World 8, with Dark Orbs appearing on the Orb field. The Fire Bro and Bony Beetle no longer appear in the second battle (despite the latter appearing in the "Enemies found here" listing for the course) as the battle is replaced with a ? Block. The third battle contains three Coin Coffers of any color instead of two.
