'''Champion's Road''', or '''{{world|crown|crown}}''', is the final level in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. It is analogous to {{world-link|S8|crown|Special 8-Crown}} of ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' and the [[Grandmaster Galaxy]] of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', designed to be the most challenging level in the game. The level is relatively lengthy, and contains no checkpoints or power-ups. It is available as soon as its World is unlocked, which requires obtaining all [[Green Star]]s, [[Stamp]]s and Golden Flags available thus far. A heartbeat sound effect can be heard while entering the level.

The first section of the level contains floating colorful blocks and [[Octoomba]]s on top of dark purple blocks that move from side to side. After that, a [[Clear Pipe]] takes players to an elevating section with three [[Fire Bro]]s. On top of it, players must run across blocks that are only one [[Block]] wide and must either defeat or dodge the several [[Chargin' Chuck]]s (which can also run across these blocks). A [[Warp Box]] then transports players to the next section.

The next section requires players to run and time their jumps over [[Beat Block]]s that alternate in double time. After traversing the Beat Blocks, players go into a Clear Pipe cannon that tosses them into an arena with respawning crumbling blocks and three [[Magikoopa]]s. Players must defeat all the Magikoopas in order for a Warp Box to appear.

After the area with the Magikoopas and the crumbling blocks, players must travel across gray platforms while also avoiding swinging spiky pillars and [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]]. The players can use a [[Piranha Plant (potted)|Piranha Plant]] to help get rid of the Fuzzies. If the player gets rid of all the Fuzzies on the large block before the end of the section, they will receive some [[Coin]]s. Then there is another Warp Box that takes players to the next section.

In this section, players must wall-jump upward, with the aid of a spring platform. They also must avoid jumping into the [[Horned Ant Trooper]]s, but they can also use them to move up the walls. Past the wall-jumping, players must then jump on a series of [[Piranha Creeper]]s to go up. Then, players need to swim on a floating square of water that takes them through blue stationary spiked walls plus red moving spiked walls. When players succeed, they go into the Clear Pipe, which shoots them into the last obstacle part of the level.

Players must use the [[Boost Pad|dash panels]] to dash through this section also while avoiding the shockwaves of [[Ring Burner]]s. The path takes them to a square area, where players must collect five [[Key Coin]]s to open up a Warp Box. Then, past the Warp Box, players go through Clear Pipes that word "THANK YOU!!" in neon lights. Then the players see several [[Sprixie|Sprixies]], [[Toad (species)|Toads]], [[Rabbit|Rabbits]], [[Luma (species)|Lumas]], [[Plessie]], and [[Captain Toad]] cheering for them near the Goal Pole. Unlike most regular stages, this stage's Goal Pole is the boss version.

*The part where the Clear Pipe makes up the word "THANK YOU!!" is similar to ''Super Mario 3D Land''{{'}}s {{world|S8|crown}}'s "THANK YOU!!", which is made of [[Flip Panel]]s instead.

**It is additionally a homage to [[World 9 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 9-4]] of ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', which ended with a series of blocks spelling "アリガトウ!" ("Arigatō!", Japanese for "Thank You!").

*The music that plays in this level, titled "Champion Road", is a remix of [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]]'s theme from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', which also plays in [[Honeycomb Starway]] and [[Honeycomb Skyway]]. This remix also appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' on the [[Mario Galaxy (stage)|Mario Galaxy]] stage.

**Coincidentally, Gusty Garden Galaxy's theme was used during the first three sections of the "[[The Perfect Run]]" mission of the Grandmaster Galaxy from ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.
