'''Shadow-Play Alley''', also known as '''World 2-3''', is the ninth regular level and the third course of [[World 2 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 2]] in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. It is an inside course with a part of it taking place in the shadows. It is unlocked by completing [[Conkdor Canyon|Conkdor Canyon]], and completion of either this level or [[Puffprod Peaks]] unlocks [[Really Rolling Hills]]. Shadow-Play Alley also appears in the [[Wii U]] version of ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' as an extra stage if the player's Wii U has save data for ''Super Mario 3D World''.

==Layout==
The course starts in an underground area with some [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]] and [[Piranha Plant]]s. Some moving platforms and [[Fire Piranha Plant]]s await, followed by the [[Checkpoint Flag]]. The next area is set in the shadows, where the player has to navigate through an area full of Fuzzies, Piranha Plants, and one [[Big Piranha Plant|Mega Piranha Plant]] until they reach the door leading them to another area. Here, the player must pass some enemies and moving platforms until they reach another door which leads them to the [[Goal Pole]].
