*Minor changes to the soundtrack occurred between the original NES version and the ''All-Stars'' version; in the underwater section of the NES version, the music switches from the castle theme to the underwater theme, while the ''All-Stars'' version keeps the castle theme for the whole level, until the player battles Bowser. In the ''All-Stars'' version, the boss theme is different than fighting the False Bowsers in the other seven castles.

In the ''All-Stars'' version, the boss theme is different than fighting the False Bowsers in the other seven castles, this also applies for [[World 8-4 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 8-4]] in the ''All-Stars'' version of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels.
*Despite the original level having 16 vertical pipes, only 14 Piranha Plants can be seen. The pipe at the end of the first area is empty due to the maze loop, since the player appears to take a "wrong" path before reaching the correct warp pipe, while the underwater area begins with a pipe that has an invisible Piranha Plant due to a [[List_of_Super_Mario_Bros._glitches#Invisible_Piranha_Plant|graphical glitch]]. Both problems are fixed in the ''All-Stars'' version, and Piranha Plants can be seen in all 16 pipes.
