A stark contrast to the rest of the [[Mushroom World]], Dark Land is a wasteland-inspired area untouched by sunlight, filled with skulls and flames.


In ''[[Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition]]'', Dark Land is the only world from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' to not be featured in any challenges.
'''[[Dark Land]]''' is the eighth and last world in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The player can cheat to get here from World 1 by using two [[Warp Whistle]]s. It was where [[Bowser]]'s castle was in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and probably still is now. It's called Dark Land because the sun doesn't appear between the volcanic clouds, and one of the areas is completely black on the map, except for a circle of light around [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]].

Dark Land (alternatively '''Castle of Koopa'''<ref>''Super Mario Bros. 3'' North American original and ''Super Mario All-Stars'' International ending.</ref> or '''[[Bowser's Castle]]''')<ref>''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' International ending.</ref> first appears as the eighth and final [[world]] in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and its remake ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', reached after clearing [[Pipe Land]]. Large numbers of [[tank]]s and [[airship]]s patrol these lands, which most [[level]]s take place on, with only two standard Action Scenes in the entire world. Additionally, one of the areas in the map is so dark that it appears to be completely black, except for a circle of light around [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. World 8 is shown to be south of [[Ice Land|World 6]] and to the north of [[Sky Land|World 5]] in ''Super Mario Advance 4''. This is the only world in the game that does not have any [[Toad House|Toad's House]]s, [[Hammer Bro]]thers patrolling the map, or [[Spade Panel]]s in it. 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.
==Levels==
==='''Big Tanks'''===
These tanks are just like the Airships, only on the ground. Mario will find this place extremely straightforward, and not very complicated. A [[Tanooki Suit]] is helpful amidst all these [[Rocky Wrench]]es, cannons, and [[Rocket Engine]]s. Also, there is one power-up in this level. At the end of the level awaits a blue [[Boomerang Bro.]]


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.
==='''Battleships'''===
These battleships are just like the tanks, only in the water. Mario should grab the power-up in this level, too. As these are in ordinary water, Mario will not be hurt if he jumps on in. Mario has to watch out for the large cannons. At the end there is [[Boom Boom]].


Dark Land features the following levels:
==='''Hand Traps'''===
{|class=wikitable style="text-align:center"
#This contains every Hammer Bro. variety to be found in the game. The level starts with a [[Fire Bro.]] Then the player should leap over its fireballs and pound it in the head. Next, there are two [[Hammer Bros.]] Also, there is a power-up in one of the blocks. A Boomerang Bro. awaits. The player shall jump over the projectiles, then bonk it on the head and the player has to watch out for the returning boomerangs. Next, there is a [[Sledge Bro.]] Then the player has to jump when it jumps (and when he is holding no hammers) and the player has to stomp on it. Mario can also go up the pipe to claim a [[Super Leaf]].
!width="10%"|Level
#One of the easiest levels in the game. Mario must simply jump over [[Podoboo]]s and leap on platforms to reach the end. A Super Leaf is at the end of this level.
!Preview
#This level makes up for the lack of difficulty. Mario must run, hop, duck, and slide to find shelter from [[Cheep Cheep]]s. At the end there is a Super Leaf.

===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
==='''Airships'''===
[[File:DarkLandCartoon.jpg|thumb|Dark Land in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'']]
A ton of tiny, Rocket Engine equipped jets patrol the night sky. Mario should use a P-Wing for this level. Rocky Wrenches are found on most of the jets. At the end, Boom Boom is playing airplane. After the player attacks Boom Boom twice, it'll start flying.
{{quote|QUIET! You wanna wake the dead? You don't want Koopa to find out we're in his kingdom, do ya?|[[Mario]]|"[[Do the Koopa]]"}}
Dark Land appears in quite a few episodes of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where it is depicted as a gloomy wasteland and the home of King Koopa and the Koopalings. 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]].


The episodes with this world shown as the title card are "[[Never Koop a Koopa]]" (with [[Grass Land]]'s music), "[[Do the Koopa]]", "[[Crimes R Us]]", "[[Recycled Koopa]]" and "[[Super Koopa (episode)|Super Koopa]]".
==='''8-1'''===
Right at the start of the level, there is a Switch Block high above, which reveals many, many blue coins lower down. Mario can use a Super Leaf or Tanooki Suit to fly from the very first platform to a pipe way up high where three 1-Ups are. Also, in the ordinary way, the [[? Block]] by a [[Venus Fire Trap|Venus Fire Trap's]] pipe has a power-up. Plus, in the two rows of blocks, in the top row, a ten-coin block is concealed. In-between the tall multi-Bill Blasters, in a ? Block thee is a Starman. In the long line of ? Blocks, the ordinary brick has a 1-Up. Mario must then duck and slide to get under the low Blaster, and right by it is a block with a powerup. Then, Mario must use a red [[Koopa Paratroopa]] to leap over a very tall Bill Blaster. Mario can either jump out between the two Blasters, or find the invisible ? Block and make it a bit easier. The [[♪ Block]] nearby will make Mario fall a bit short of his destination. Instead, Mario should stomp the Koopa Troopa to get a bigger boost. After this, the player needs to leap over the [[Piranha Plant]] and the level will be completed.


Not counting episodes in which all the Dark Land scenes were restricted to events within the perimeters of Kastle Koopa, Dark Land appears in the following episodes:
==='''8-2'''===
*'''[[Reptiles in the Rose Garden]]''': In order to give [[Wendy|Kootie Pie]] rulership of the [[United States of America]] as a birthday present, Bowser transports the [[White House]], along with everyone inside, to Dark Land. Bowser later sinks the White House to the bottom of the [[Mushroom Sea]]. However, Mario managed to raise the White House to the surface, and with Luigi's help, was able to return the building to its proper spot to [[Washington, D.C.]]
At the beginning, Mario can either fall through the quicksand or enter one of the pipes, or jump over the quicksand. In the latter case, this level is the second and last to feature the [[Angry Sun]]. The player should start out normally, while avoiding all Venus Fire Traps. But when Mario sees a block, he can expose a [[P-Switch]] inside that will make going over a chasm a bit easier. About this time, the Angry Sun will start to chase Mario. It's not too hard to avoid. After the ♪ Block-filled pit, Mario must ascend and descend the Venus Fire Trap populated hill. After the hill comes a small pit with one ♪ Block. This is where the Angry Sun gets annoying. Mario must leap off a Koopa Paratroopa and bounce on a Note Block to reach the exit.
*'''[[Mind Your Mummy Mommy, Mario]]''': Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad travel through Dark Land via a [[Steam Cloud Balloon]] to recover [[Prince Mushroomkhamen]]'s stolen sarcophagus, only for it to get flung into a tower of Kastle Koopa by a [[Mushroom Kingdom]] [[tornado|twister]]. Luigi then uses the remnants of the Steam Cloud Balloon to construct a [[steam powered mummy sled]], which he, Princess Toadstool and Toad use to escape from Kastle Koopa, and subsequently, Dark Land.
*'''[[Princess Toadstool for President]]''': After discovering that Bowser in ahead in the polls for leadership over the Mushroom Kingdom only by using a [[Nice Guy Potion]], Mario and Luigi travel to Dark Land in order stop [[Ludwig|Kooky]] and [[Larry|Cheatsy]] from making another dose before the election. Upon arriving in Dark Land, Mario and Luigi are pursued by [[Rocky Wrench]]es in tanks, which chase them through a pipe into a lava-filled cavern. From that point, Mario and Luigi then have to deal with [[Flame Chomp|Fire Chomp]]s, [[Hot Foot]]s and a [[Fire Snake]] before making it to Kastle Koopa.
*'''[[Never Koop a Koopa]]''': When Bowser announces that he is giving up his evil ways, he donates Kastle Koopa to Princess Toadstool. Deciding she wants to turn Kastle Koopa into a retirement home for elderly [[Toad (species)|Mushroom]]s, Princess Toadstool travels to Dark Land with Mario to check the place out. However, Luigi is wary of the whole thing. He and Toad travel to Dark Land after Mario and Princess Toadstool, where they wait in a boat on the Mushroom Sea for their friends to return from Kastle Koopa. When Mario and Princess Toadstool fail to come out after waiting for a long time, Luigi drags Toad into the Mushroom Sea, and both enter Kastle Koopa via a drainpipe. Discovering that the whole ordeal turned out to be a trap, the group of four reunite and later escape from Kastle Koopa after obtaining [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon Power]].
*'''[[Do the Koopa]]''': Princess Toadstool discovers a map leading to the [[Doom Dancer Music Box]], which is hidden in the underground [[Temple of Gloom]]. Mario, Luigi and Toad accompany Princess Toadstool to Dark Land, but they are immediately spotted by a [[Dry Bones]], who heads to Kastle Koopa to warn Bowser of their arrival. As Bowser is sick, he orders [[Roy|Bully]], [[Morton|Big Mouth]], and Cheatsy to follow the Dry Bones, who leads them to where the heroes are traveling. Mario's group brave the cavern's many traps and ultimately make it to the Temple of Gloom, where they succeed in obtaining the Doom Dancer. However, a trap set up by Bully causes Mario to lose the Doom Dancer, which winds up in Bully's hands. Bully then brings uses the Doom Dancer's power to bring everyone back to Kastle Koopa, where Bowser, who is unable to hear well due to his cold, takes the Doom Dancer from Bully. Bowser then uses the Doom Dancer to force everyone in the [[Mushroom World]] to dance forever, but the Mario Bros. foil his plan.
*'''[[Recycled Koopa]]''': The Koopas are ordered to dump all their garbage, and the place they do so is in Princess Toadstool's Castle. Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad manage to steal one of the Koopa Kids' wands to remove all the garbage and send it back where it came from. The heroes believe the Koopas will try again and spy on them with Luigi's [[Plumber's Periscope]], and see the Koopalings dumping garbage down another pipe leading to the Real World.
*'''[[The Venice Menace]]''': Although Dark Land is unseen in this episode, Bowser's intention is to scare all the humans out of [[Venice]] so that he can warp the entire city to Dark Land and turn it into a water park for Kootie Pie.


===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
==='''Fortress'''===
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.
This is a hard Fortress. Mario should first start out by hopping off the block to a door. Then, Mario has to survive on the conveyor belts, and there is lava below the conveyor belts. To the left is a power-up, needed to complete the level. Mario must repeat this process until he has secured a Super Leaf, which is to break the bricks to the right. It is highly recommended that Mario should not get the [[Fire Flower]], and he has to keep the Super Leaf. To the right, Mario must avoid the [[Thwomp]] and smash a way through the blocks. Next, Mario must enter the third door to the right, then in this room, Mario would avoid the diagonal Thwomps. Then Mario must enter the door, then Mario has to keep right, entering the door which is on the metal blocks. Mario must stomp the P-Switch and run right as fast as he possibly can, entering the door at the end without stopping. After coming out the door, Mario has to keep moving, until two coins, unmoving, wedged between the metal blocks and a conveyor belt, are spotted. The player should not collect the coins. Mario must wait until the P-Switch wears off, sneak under them, and hit the right one for a P-Switch (again). Hit it, then enter the door that appears to the farthest right. Then, wait again for the Switch to wear off, and duck as the belt carries Mario safely under the spike to the Boom Boom battle. WHEW!


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.
==='''Super Tanks'''===
Possibly the most straightforward level in the game. Avoid [[Bob-omb]]s, Rocky Wrenches, and other hazards on these huge tanks. At the end, Boom Boom will battle Mario for the last time, so he must always be on his toes!


===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
==='''Bowser's Castle'''===
[[File:TSMBM Dark Land.jpg|thumb|The Dark Lands in ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie'']]
It's the end. The last level of the game. Bowser ''has'' set up quite a few traps for thickly-accented plumbers in here, so Mario has his hands full. Start by racing right. WHOA! It seems these statues have lasers built-in, but Mario can jump on their heads, effectively avoiding them. Don't go in the door after the staircase, it's a dead end. Instead, ride the platform up, then take the [[Donut Lift]] down. Here, ascend the staircase, avoiding the [[Roto-Disc]]s. At the top, guess what? Mario must go back down the other side! Alternatively, there is an extra life at the top right of this section, in a hidden block. If Mario ducks and jumps on top of this block, he will float through the wall, skipping the descent. Afterwards, a lava lake with Donut Lifts and Podoboos looms. The easier route: Mario can go up, up, up, the head right. Don't go in the very top corridor, take the second down, with a power-up, then take the Donut Lift, head right, leap over the Thwomp, take the Donut Lift down again, then leap off. Traverse this lava pit area, then enter the door. In here, leap on the heads of the statues. Most are defective, though. Grab a powerup, then head right, over the lava pool, dodging fireballs. Now, enter the door. Hmm. Looks empty. Oh, look! A huge door! But when Mario walks over there, Bowser will crash down!
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', after Mario and Luigi are accidentally separated from each other in the [[Warp Zone]] after traveling through the [[mysterious pipe]], Luigi ends up in the '''Dark Lands''',<ref>{{file link|TSMBM Monopoly Board.jpg|Monopoly ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie'' Edition board}}</ref> also formatted as '''Darklands''',<ref>Track title "The Darklands" from ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)]]''</ref><ref>{{cite|author=@universaluk|date=March 16, 2023|url=x.com/universaluk/status/1636338994962219008|title=Wahoo! Mario has entered the feed. Get your tickets now! #SuperMarioMovie|publisher=Twitter|language=en-gb|accessdate=March 19, 2023}}</ref> where he briefly searches for Mario before being chased by many [[Dry Bones]]. Luigi enters a [[castle]] that is surrounded by a [[lava]] moat and appears abandoned at first, but he is captured by two [[Shy Guy]]s and a [[Snifit]], who bring him to Bowser in the [[Shy Guy balloon]]. The Dark Lands are portrayed as a dark and dreary forest with lakes of lava, infested with [[Bat (Super Mario Galaxy)|bats]] and hostile Dry Bones. According to [[Toad]], the area is under the control of Bowser.


==Maps==
Now, the Koopa King can be defeated with either fireballs or [[Hammer]]s from the [[Hammer Suit]], but it takes quite a few hits. However, in battle, he'll leap up every now and then, crashing down into the weak floor, making an indent. This is his only attack, besides fireballs. If he breaks through the whole floor, he's defeated! So trick him into crashing down in the same section of floor three times, and after he's broken through, bye bye! He's a bit tricky, and his fireballs home in, but persistence pays off here. The door will open and flash. Enter to find a distraught [[Princess Toadstool]]. She'll thank Mario, then scamper off, back to wherever Princesses go after they've been rescued. But anyhow, sit back and watch the credits roll. You've deserved it, Mario!
