World 5 (New Super Mario Bros.)

World 5 of New Super Mario Bros. is a typically snowy world. It also has one Ghost House. There seem to be a few caverns here as well.

The boss here is Petey Piranha. Defeating him allows access to World 6.

5-1
This level has snow from trees that can fall on Mario. If this happens, he should escape (press A) or else enemies can attack him. Start by avoiding the Snow Spikes and their snowballs. Soon, Mario will run into some deep snow, in which he can barely jump. Either jump on the blocks above or go through the snow, avoiding Goombas. By jumping on a block above deep snow and jumping again, Mario can get the first Star Coin. Mario should jump on a Paratroopa or use a flying block to get the second Star Coin. The third Star Coin is obtained by jumping on a block that, when hit, will grow more blocks. Jump on the stack of blocks to obtain the coin. After avoiding more falling snow and more enemies, Mario reaches the Flagpole.

5-2
This level is another underground cave where ice covers the ground. Mario should avoid the Spike Tops and Swoopers. To get the first Star Coin, Mario should go up, avoiding the Piranha Plants, and then he should hit blocks above him. After the Piranha Plants are two pipes, one yellow, one red. The player should go ahead to an area with a springboard. Above it is actually the third Star Coin. Mario should get the coin and move the springboard to the yellow and red pipes seen earlier. If the player jumps into the yellow one, they will go to an area with a Moneybag (the coin). Go to the end to grab the second Star Coin by Wall Jumping to it. After going through the Warp Pipe, Mario just needs to jump across more ice, avoiding more Spike Tops, to make it to the Flagpole.

Secret Exit
Near the end of the level, the player should see a large block of ice with two Spike Tops on it, and a pipe with a Piranha Plant above it. Enter the pipe to reach the Secret Exit.

5-A
This level has mushroom platforms that shrink and expand. Mario needs to time his jumps, because not all platforms move together. After the checkpoint, Mario can get the first Star Coin by going down to a mushroom platform. He needs to hit a ! Switch to return. Just after that, Mario should find a single block. If he hits it by running and jumping, a Beanstalk will pop out, taking him to an area with the second Star Coin. The player should later see two mushroom platforms that are able to touch each other. Mario should stand in between them and jump when they shrink, getting the last Star Coin. Then, Mario will reach the Flagpole.
