Layout
This level has a hidden warp to World 7 that can be reached with any of the playable characters but works best if the player plays with Luigi, because he can jump the highest. Near the start of the level, right after climbing up the ladder, there will be a platform above Luigi's head. He must Super Jump up on top of it, and find the magic potion. After entering dream world, he needs to enter the vase and will be warped to World 7. If played as a different character, requires to jump on top of an Albatoss an fly to the platform.

For those who venture through the level, a tough voyage awaits. First, there is a field constantly nuked by Albatoss birds laying bombs; once the player reaches the end, an underground cavern follows, where various walls must be exploded, and where a few Pansers and Ostros must be beaten. Unlike the other worlds in the game, there is no fortress to explore, so what is visited instead is the interior of a tree full of Sparks, Bob-ombs and walking Pansers; there is no locked door, so no key is collected, and Phanto is not seen anywhere. Once outside again, the player has to cross a very long chasm with the help of Pidgit, so that Birdo is found and defeated, leading to the lair of the boss, Clawgrip.
