World 6-2 (Super Mario Bros. 3)

World 6-2 is the second level in Ice Land from Super Mario Bros. 3.

Layout

This is an autoscrolling level, the progress of the player relies heavily on the moving cloud platforms. Mario starts on a small platform made of Hard Blocks, followed by two small slippery platforms, one of them with an Ice Block and a ? Block containing a power-up. Shortly after this, the player must use the cloud platforms to jump over a column of Brick Blocks blocking the path, then a Koopa Troopa, more Brick Blocks and a very high column made of Hard Blocks, which requires the cloud platforms to pass over it. Afterwards, there are two Ice Blocks and a Coin Block, alongside another Koopa Troopa, followed by more Hard Block platforms, a Brick Block with a 1-Up Mushroom and a Warp Pipe leading to the goal.

In the SNES and GBA remakes, shortly before the goal, there is a hidden block that helps the player to reach to an area with two more 1-Up Mushrooms.
