World 2-6 (New Super Mario Bros.)
World 2-5 is the last level before the Castle of World 2, in New Super Mario Bros..
Layout
This level starts out with a pit full of quicksand; buried within it as a gold pipe in the shape of an "n". The player must hop across the quicksand and the gold pipe in order to make it to the other side of the pit. On the other side of the pit, two ? Blocks can be found, followed by a red pipe. The player must enter this pipe to continue. On the exiting end of the pipe, the player will appear on a levitating platform; the moment the player touches said platform, it will begin to move rightward. As the player continues forth in the level, he or she will encounter several coins, some of which are surrounding three ? Blocks. Slightly further in the level, the player will begin to encounter a few Piranha Plants; these Piranha Plants are located each on a separate levitating platform that intersect with the platform the player resides on. Eventually, Piranha Plants will be placed on the same platform as the player, providing an additional challenge to the level. More ? Blocks can be found throughout the level - some containing coins, others containing power-ups. As the level progresses, more Piranha Plants and a Giant Piranha Plant are encountered. Eventually, the player will have to jump off of the original platform, and hop on smaller levitating platforms. When the player encounters a Venus Fire Trap, there are only a few more levitating platforms to jump on before solid ground can be reached. On this solid ground, the player will have to use a pump to unblock a green pipe, which was blocked by a cork. On the exiting end of the pipe, three more levitating platforms and a Piranha Plant are located, followed by the flagpole.
