'''Piranhas in the Dark''', or '''Layer-Cake Desert-3''', is the third course of [[Layer-Cake Desert]] in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''. It is unlocked by completing [[Spike's Tumbling Desert]], and its own completion unlocks [[Wind-Up Tower]].
==Layout==
The level starts in a desert setting with a Warp Pipe that takes the player to the underground portion of the level. There is a [[Hidden Block]] containing a [[Super Star]] above the Warp Pipe. The underground section is [[dark]], with spotlights lighting portions of the area. The area begins with a section of tilting platforms on tracks, as [[Big Piranha Plant]]s on Warp Pipes. A Big Piranha Plant is found on one of the tilting platforms, and is followed by a section of the ground with a ? Block containing a [[Glowing Baby Yoshi]]. A section of tilting platforms on diagonal tracks follows, with [[Fire Bro]]s. on some of them. After the Fire Bros., [[Big Fire Piranha|Big Venus Fire Trap]]s are found on Warp Pipes. A Warp Pipe is found at the end of the area, which leads above ground to the area with the [[Goal Pole]].

|A green Warp Pipe located near the end of the level has a [[Big Fire Piranha|Big Venus Fire Trap]] on it. It must be defeated with a [[Fire Flower]] or a [[Super Star]], allowing the player to access the Warp Pipe. Alternatively, the player can pass through the enemy and enter the pipe if able to take the resultant damage. The third Star Coin is found above the exit Warp Pipe.

==Trivia==
*The Big Piranha Plants of this level are seen on top of pipes, but do not go in them as if they were on the ground. This also occurs near the beginning of [[Slippery Rope Ladders]]. This may be because the pipes themselves are normal-sized rather than huge.
