World 8-3 is the forty-first level of Super Mario 3D Land.
Layout
World 8-3 is a bubble-filled pass of rotating blocks, Rocky Wrenches, and . The level opens with a Rocky Wrench on a large square platform, and from here, Mario must traverse several rotating blocks in order to reach the second stage of the level. From here, the blocks get bigger. Across the long "T-like" shaped block, Mario reaches the Checkpoint. A ten-block checkered pattern is made of rotating blocks that must be traversed to reach the next part of the level. Here, Mario can "bowl" over a trio of Rocky Wrenches using pre-placed Koopa Shells. The last leg of the level opens with cylindrical platforms that rotate before a rather tall platform. The finally of the level is made up of a large platform made with two separate turns, and across this long, final platform, Mario reaches the Flagpole.
