World 8-Bowser's Castle (Super Mario Bros. 3): Difference between revisions

}}

'''{{world|8|bowser3}}''' is the eleventh and final level of [[Dark Land]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', and is the final level in the game. It becomes accessible after the player clears {{world-link|8|tank3|World 8-Super Tank}}.

==Layout==

The player starts next to a trio of [[Bowser Statue]]s, which will fire lasers when the player approaches. At the top of a set of stairs is an invisible lift that will start rising when the player steps onto it; if the player misses the lift, they can enter the nearby door and then move left, avoiding [[Dry Bones]], to another door to be brought back to the beginning of the castle to try again. Once the lift reaches its peak, the player will find a [[Donut Block|Donut Lift]] to the right and must ride it down, jumping off to the right when able before the block falls into the abyss. After passing a [[Hot Foot]], the player will have to jump up stairs lined with three [[Roto-Disc]]s, then fall down the next set of stairs avoiding the same Roto-Discs. A [[1-Up Mushroom]] can also be collected at the top of the stairs, next to the wall on the right. Next, the player has to jump across several Donut Lift platforms while avoiding [[Lava Bubble|Podoboo]]s and falling in the [[lava]] below. At the end of this area, the path splits in four ways, with the second from the top path having a power-up and the bottom-most path leading back to the start of the castle. The other two paths lead to [[Bowser]].

*[[1-Up Mushroom]]s: 1
