World 5-2 (Super Mario Bros. 2)

World 5-2 is the second level of World 5 in Super Mario Bros. 2.

Layout
This level is set mostly on land, unlike the previous stage; there aren't many obstacles, so most of the difficulty is based on the diversity of enemies (such as Hoopsters and Porcupos) found. At some point, a large mountain must be climbed through various vines, then the player has to fall through a deep hole full of spikes, which can only be avoided with quick reflexes. Birdo is fought over a cascade.
