'''World 8''' is the eighth world of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' This is the final world in the game, leaving only four levels left in the game. In World 8, three ground levels are traversed, as well as the final castle level, which has an underwater section. World 8 is the only world in ''Super Mario Bros.'' without any checkpoints; the player is sent to the start of the level if defeated.

|[[World 8-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-1]]
|style="background: #202020" |[[File:World 8-1Prev.PNG]]
|In this level, the first enemy encountered is a [[Buzzy Beetle]], followed by a chain of other enemies. A [[Warp Pipe|pipe]] with a [[Piranha Plant|plant]] inside is encountered. A series of large gaps and [[Koopa]]s are then encountered throughout the level adding additional challenges. Certain large gaps have a mere single brick within it to land on, requiring good timing to make the jump. This level is rather long while the time limit is comparatively meager. Despite the constant presence of one brick wide platforms, the player can easily pass many of them by running and jumping over them. This is the longest level in the game.

|[[World 8-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-2]]
|style="background: #202020" |[[File:World 8-2Prev.PNG]]
|The first thing encountered in this level is a staircase followed by a pair of [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s, a [[Lakitu]], and [[Spiny Egg|Spiny Egg]]s. Another pair of Koopa Paratroopas are encountered beneath a long stretch of [[Brick Block|brick blocks]] (in which an [[1-Up Mushroom|extra life]] is hidden). Over more gaps and pipes, and through mazes of [[Bullet Bill]]s, the player once again reaches the levels end.
|-
|[[World 8-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-3]]
|style="background: #202020" |[[File:World 8-3Prev.PNG]]
|This level features a wide array of enemies, from Piranha Plants to [[Hammer Bro]]s. to Bullet Bills. The player must lunge over pipes, run around bullets, and try to avoid oncoming hammers in order to survive. This level is the first of only two levels to feature Hammer Bros. separate from each other. Once a shattered ending staircase is encountered, the flagpole is seen for the final time in the game.
|-
|[[World 8-4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-4]]
|style="background: #202020" |[[File:World 8-4Prev.PNG]]
|This is the final level of the game. The player must solve puzzles and enter pipes in certain orders to continue to the next section. Almost all enemies are encountered in this level ([[Goomba]]s, [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, green [[Koopa Troopa]]s and [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s, and flying [[Cheep-Cheep]]s), and also an underwater area (which has [[Blooper]]s and [[Fire Bar]]s) must be successfully completed in order to move on. After passing by a single [[Hammer Bros.|Hammer Bro.]] and a [[Lava Bubble]], [[Bowser|the real Bowser]] is finally encountered in this level in a final battle against the player. Once Bowser is defeated, [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] is finally rescued, and the end of the game is reached. The princess thanks the player and adds an additional challenge to the game with [[Super Mario Bros.#Hard mode|hard mode]], in which all Goombas become Buzzy Beetles, and other modifications are made to the game as well.

==Trivia==
*A minor change to the soundtrack occurred between the original NES version and the ''All Stars'' version. In the underwater section of World 8-4, the music switches to the underwater theme, but only in the NES version, as the ''All-Stars'' version keeps the castle theme for the whole level.
