'''Flight of the Para-Beetles''', or '''{{world|Soda|parabeetle}}''', is the secret course of [[Soda Jungle]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. It is unlocked via secret exit in [[Which-Way Labyrinth]] and its own completion skips [[Rock-Candy Mines]] and unlocks [[Land of Flying Blocks]] in [[Meringue Clouds]].

==Layout==
The course is a diagonal autoscroller that takes place in the sky containing [[Para-Beetle]]s and [[Heavy Para-Beetle]]s. The level begins on a platform, with a group of Para-Beetles nearby. A [[? Block]] containing a power-up can be reached with the Para-Beetles. A Heavy Para-Beetle is found, along with more Para-Beetles. Another ? Block is found, along with another Heavy Para-Beetle and a row of Para-Beetles. The Para-Beetles are used to reach a group of Para-Beetles that moves to the right. A [[Red Ring]] is found above them, and a row of Heavy Para-Beetles follows. Para-Beetles allow access to a bridge platform with a ? Block above it. More Para-Beetles and Heavy Para-Beetles follow, and five [[King Bill]]s are encountered. A bridge platform with three [[Brick Block]]s above it is found. The middle block contains a [[P Switch]], which causes [[Blue Coin]]s to appear and act as indicators for the last two King Bills. [[Warp Pipe]]s at the top of the area lead to the [[Goal Pole]].

If the player lands on eight different Para-Beetles or Heavy Para-Beetles in a row without landing on anything else, a [[1-Up Mushroom]] will fall from the sky.

==[[Star Coin]]s==
*'''Star Coin 1''': The first Star Coin is found in mid-air, after a series of Para-Beetles.
*'''Star Coin 2''': As with the first Star Coin, the second Star Coin is found in mid-air. Standing on a Heavy Para-Beetle can safely lead to it.
*'''Star Coin 3''': The red [[Warp Pipe]] at the end of the first section leads to an alternate pathway where the third Star Coin resides. The player must use a nearby Para-Beetle as a platform in order to enter the pipe.
