"If you don't find the alternative exit in World 2, you'll find yourself in the tropical landscape of World 3. But don't expect to be lounging on the beach -- this world is far from paradise!"
New Super Mario Bros.'s Official Site

World 3 is the third world in New Super Mario Bros.. It is unlocked upon defeating Mummipokey without using Mini Mario/Mini Luigi at World 2-Castle NSMB. The boss of this world is Cheepskipper.

Layout[]

Similar to Water Land from Super Mario Bros. 3, World 3 takes place on a costal shore, with underwater and beach levels. There are 3 main levels, 3 bonus levels, a tower, a Ghost House, a Cannon, a castle and 3 Toad Houses. Like with World 2, World 3 also has nine total levels for Mario or Luigi to explore.
