Dragoneel's Undersea Grotto, or Sparkling Waters-5, is the fifth course of Sparkling Waters in New Super Mario Bros. U. It is unlocked via completion of Above the Cheep Cheep Seas or Urchin Shoals, and its own completion unlocks Larry's Torpedo Castle.

Dragoneel's Undersea Grotto makes one other appearance in Monopoly Gamer, as the sixth Property on the game board. It is one of two properties in the Maroon Color Set (along with Sparkling Waters).

Layout

Mario and co. start in a small area with a Warp Pipe sticking out of the water, which takes them underwater. The ground underwater is made entirely of quicksand. After Mario and co. exit from the Warp Pipe, there is a ? Block with a power-up, followed by a school of Eep Cheeps. At the second ? Block, a Dragoneel appears and circles around it, following after Mario and co. when they continue onward. The rest of the stage continues with Eep Cheeps, ? Blocks, and various current-producing Warp Pipes to help Mario and co. move faster. Near the end of the level, there is a large school of Eep Cheeps that may hinder Mario and co.'s progression. Another Warp Pipe then takes Mario and co. directly to the Goal Pole.

Mario and co. can also skip the underwater sections by using the P-Acorn to fly over the wall at the beginning of the level.

Star Coins

• Star Coin 1: The first Star Coin is located in plain sight, with coins circling it. Mario and co. must wait until the Warp Pipes turn to stop the currents blocking them from obtaining the Star Coin.
• Star Coin 2: The second Star Coin is located between two rows of Brick Blocks following the Checkpoint Flag, requiring the use of Super Mario to obtain it.
• Star Coin 3: Almost submerged in quicksand is a Warp Pipe that leads to the area with the final Star Coin. Mario and co. must swim to it while avoiding the two purple Dragoneels that appear in this small area.

Enemies

• Dragoneels
• Eep Cheeps
