World 8-2 is the second main level, and the eight level overall, of Dark Land in Super Mario Bros. 3. It becomes accessible after the player clears World 8-1 and its own completion opens World 8-
Fortress.
Layout
The player starts at the end of a dirt plain with several hills. If the player continues right, they will come across a Paragoomba that drops Micro Goombas, followed by six pipes, each with Venus Fire Traps in them. Above one of the pipes is a Brick Block containing a P Switch, which will turn the coins ahead into platforms. After passing the pipes, an Angry Sun will appear from behind the hill and continue to attack the player throughout the level. Around this point is a large chasm with Note Blocks and the aforementioned coins above them. After the chasm is are three pipes on an upward slope with a Piranha Plant and more Venus Fire Traps. At the bottom of the other side of the hill is another chasm with two Note Blocks and a Koopa Paratroopa, followed by the goal.
Two secret areas can be found in this level. If the player lets the first sandfall take them down, they will be brought into a chamber with two Warp Pipes. The Warp Pipe on the left will take the player to a room with a power-up in a Brick Block, and the pipe on the right will take the player to a room with coins. Exiting through the next pipe in either room will take the player to the center of the second large hill halfway through the level, past the first chasm. By taking this secret route, the Angry Sun will not come out.
