World 5-2 (Super Mario 3D Land)

World 5-2 is the second level of the fifth world of Super Mario 3D Land. The level is a temple played from an overhead view, as an homage to the temples from The Legend of Zelda series in honor of the series' twenty-fifth anniversary.

Layout
Mario starts in a rectangular room with a ? Block and a wide one. Going on the exit, in the right side, a similar room is found, but with a sand area and two Spinies. The next room is wider, and contains spiked cylinders and one more Spiny. Goint to the right, Mario will find a very small circular place, where a spiked ball bar is spinning on the middle. Here, Mario can go in two ways: the area ahead to a Star Medal and to the left, the regular way. Going to the left area, he will see a Midway Flag, Spinies and lava. A Mystery Box with many invisible blocks. An up-and-down moving platform conducts the player to a sandy corridor with a row of spiked cylinders. Entering on a door, Mario is taken to a placed with Crates, Spinies and lava geysers. The end contains a door that goes to the final area, where he can use a breaking stone to grapple the top of the ending pole.

Star Medals

 * Star Medal 1: When the player reaches the room with the rotating Spikebar, go to the south end of the room and jump up into it.
 * Star Medal 2: The player must have a Fire Flower in tow and head to the east path of the rotating Spikebar where the previous Star Medal was found. Lighting the four torches in this room will make a cage holding the Star Medal open, along with the "puzzle solved" sound effect from The Legend of Zelda series.
 * Star Medal 3: Near the end of the level, there will be a long row of spiked cylinders. If the player makes it to the end, they can grab the final medal and exit the level.

Enemies

 * Spinies

Trivia

 * The developers of Super Mario 3D Land originally wanted this level to be World 2-5 instead, as another reference to the anniversary of The Legend of Zelda, but felt that the reference would be too early if placed there.
