'''Soda Jungle''' is the jungle-themed fifth world of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''. It is the largest world in the game, both physically and in terms of courses. The world, as its name implies, takes place in a jungle inspired by [[Giant Land]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', [[Forest of Illusion]] from ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and [[World 4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 4]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' in terms of appearance, layout and theme as the jungle is giant-themed within both the world map and the normal levels, as well as big enemies or big variations of small enemies, like [[Big Goomba]]s and [[Big Koopa Troopa]]s. The dead trees in the center of the jungle leads to a haunted area, containing a few extra courses, including [[Boo]] [[Enemy Course]]s. When the player enters the area, the area pixelates before loading again, similar to the transition screen in ''Super Mario World''.

Template:Worldbox Soda Jungle is the jungle-themed fifth world of New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. It is the largest world in the game, both physically and in terms of courses. The world, as its name implies, takes place in a jungle inspired by Giant Land from Super Mario Bros. 3, Forest of Illusion from Super Mario World and World 4 from New Super Mario Bros. in terms of appearance, layout and theme as the jungle is giant-themed within both the world map and the normal levels, as well as big enemies or big variations of small enemies, like Big Goombas and Big Koopa Troopas. The dead trees in the center of the jungle leads to a haunted area, containing a few extra courses, including Boo Enemy Courses. When the player enters the area, the area pixelates before loading again, similar to the transition screen in Super Mario World. The name is derived from soda as a reference to the acid water in the world. There are twelve levels in this world, with the first Airship level appearing before entering the section, five normal levels in the outer areas, two that are in the haunted area along with the second Ghost House and the Boo Enemy Courses, a secret level, the Tower level and Castle level. Three Toad Houses can be found here as well, one green and and two red. The boss of this world is Iggy Koopa.

There are several ways to enter this world. Completing Wendy's Shifting Castle or Larry's Torpedo Castle will bring Mario to The Mighty Cannonship, the first airship in the game. However, completing Blooper's Secret Lair or Piranha Plants on Ice, Acorn Plains and Layer-Cake Desert's secret levels respectively, will immediately take Mario to Jungle of the Giants.

In the haunted area in Soda Jungle, Mario must take an alternate exit in either Painted Swampland or Deepsea Ruins (Painted Pipeworks or Deepsea Stone-Eyes for Luigi in New Super Luigi U) in order to create a pathway that will allow him to leave the haunted area and proceed through the world, in a manner similar to the Forest of Illusion in Super Mario World; taking the normal paths otherwise in either stage will bring him back to the pathway in front of Which-Way Labyrinth (Boo's Favorite Haunt in New Super Luigi U).
