{{SMW map}} | |||
The '''Valley of Bowser''' is the seventh and final [[world]] of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' before reaching the final boss, Bowser. The main way into the Valley of Bowser is by beating the [[Sunken Ghost Ship]] and entering the massive rock carving of [[Bowser]]'s head that rises out of the sea. A faster way to enter is using the [[Star Road (Super Mario World)|Star Road]], which has an exit leading straight to the [[Front Door]] of [[Bowser's Castle]], making it possible to beat the game while skipping almost every world. The player can also see this area by using the [[Warp Pipe]] found in [[Donut Plains]] to access [[Donut Secret 2]] (the [[level]] upon the cliff on the left). Additionally, the player can enter the valley using the secret Warp Pipe on [[Chocolate Island]], which leads to [[Chocolate Secret]] (the level at the bottom of the map). | |||
The | The map has a similar appearance to [[Vanilla Dome]]. There are frequent flashes of lightning in the background despite this level being accessed via a subterranean cavern, and these flashes briefly reveal a silhouette of Bowser in his [[Koopa Clown Car]] hovering around the castle's rooftop (though the Clown Car's glowing eyes can still be seen while the background is dark). Various enemies, though mostly [[Koopa Troopa]]s and cave-dwelling enemies, can be encountered here. What is presumably the Valley of Bowser, renamed the '''Valley of the Koopas''', appears in the books ''[[Dinosaur Dilemma]]'' and ''[[Flown the Koopa]]''. Depicted as a barren, putrid, desert-adjacent wasteland filled with garbage and hostile creatures such as [[Muncher]]s and [[Dino-Torch]]es, the area contains Bowser's summer home, where he holds a party celebrating his granting of the Snowbell Prize in ''Dinosaur Dilemma''. | ||

[[File:SMWBetaRedPalace.png|256px|thumb|The unused Red Switch Palace in Valley of Bowser.]] | |||
There is an unused [[Red Switch Palace]] to the left of Valley of Bowser 3. Since it leads to an "empty" level, it is probable that it was scrapped early in development. Valley of Bowser 3 connects to its path, and unlike other levels with just one exit, Valley of Bowser 3 is set to move Mario to the left when its secret exit is activated instead of up. Presumably, this means that Valley of Bowser 3 was originally going to have a secret exit at one point before it, too, got scrapped. If a secret exit is hacked in, the game glitches, activating Valley of Bowser 4's normal exit<ref>Beating a level the normal way activates an "event" in the game's code for that level. Secret exits activate the defined event plus one (i.e. if the level had Event #1 defined for it, a secret exit activates Event #2).</ref> and trapping Mario in such a way that he would be locked in an endless [[bonus game (Super Mario World)|bonus game]]. | |||
