Dragoneel's Undersea Grotto

Dragoneel's Undersea Grotto, or Sparkling Waters-5, is the fifth course of Sparkling Waters in New Super Mario Bros. U. It is unlocked via completion of Above the Cheep Cheep Seas or Urchin Shoals, and its own completion unlocks Larry's Torpedo Castle.

Layout
The player starts in a small area with a Warp Pipe sticking out of the water, which takes them underwater.

The ground underwater is made entirely of quicksand. After the player exits the Warp Pipe, there is a ? Block with a power-up, followed by a school of Eep Cheeps. At the second ? Block, a Dragoneel appears and circle around it, following after the player when they continue onward. The rest of the stage continues with Eep Cheeps, ? Blocks, and various current-producing Warp Pipes to help the player move faster. Near the end of the level, there is a large school of Eep Cheeps that may hinder the player's progression. Another Warp Pipe then takes the player directly to the Goal Pole.

The player can skip the underwater sections by using the P-Acorn to fly over the wall at the beginning of the level.
