This world consists of 11 levels. eight of them are on the main path, two levels are optional and the last is the world's rainbow level. This world is also optional as it can be bypassed by completing World Mushroom. The map music and overworld music of the world is similar to that of World 2 of New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
