It is also the second world to feature completely separate overworld screens, after World 5.


It is possible for the player to enter Dark Land via [[Warp Zone]] (notably, both [[Recorder|Magic Whistle]]s from [[Grass Land]] can be used to reach Dark Land without restoring any of the [[kings]]). In ''Super Mario Advance 4'', as soon as the player warps to World 8, they receive the letter from Bowser that they would have received after clearing World 7; this does not occur in the original game.

According to [[Lemmy]], the kingdom's activity was top secret even to the [[Koopalings]], as he claims Bowser was exclusively in charge.<ref name="Ankoku"/> This mention is not present in international translations of the manual.

As it is home to Bowser and the [[Koopalings]], Dark Land appears in quite a few episodes of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where it is depicted as a gloomy wasteland. Lava-filled caverns are shown to be beneath the surface of Dark Land in a few episodes as well. However, most of what goes on within Dark Land happens either near or inside [[Bowser's Castle|Kastle Koopa]].

Dark Land is the setting of the fourth [[Nintendo Adventure Book]], ''[[Koopa Capers]]'', where Bowser has a [[magic carpet]] bring Luigi to the kingdom to help (whether he wants to or not) in the search for Wendy O. Koopa after the Koopaling disappears. The two main areas of the region that can be explored in the book are a gloomy and trap-filled fortress, and a highly volcanic area known as the Magma Pits.

In the proceeding book, ''[[Pipe Down!]]'', Dark Land (though here referred to as '''Dark World''') is mentioned once by [[Ludwig|Ludwig von Koopa]], who states that he intends to take his new ballet, ''Dribbling Beauty'', on a seven-year tour of the kingdom.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In ''[[Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition]]'', Dark Land is the only world from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' to not be featured in any challenges.
*According to [[Lemmy Koopa|Lemmy]] in the Japanese instruction manual, the kingdom's activity was top secret even to the [[Koopalings]], as he claims Bowser was exclusively in charge.<ref name="Ankoku"/>
*The background music for Dark Land was covered for the minigames [[Skateboard Scamper]] and [[Piranha's Pursuit]], from ''[[Mario Party]]''.
*Dark Land's background music in the NES version was sampled in the song "King Bowser" in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', which is an arrangement of Bowser's battle theme.
**Dark Land's music can also be heard in [[Bowser Castle (DS)|Bowser Castle]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''.
