==History==
===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===
Sky Land is unlocked after completing [[Giant Land]] in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. It has nine [[level]]s, three [[Hammer Bro]]thers, two [[fortress]]es, three [[Toad House|Toad's House]]s, three [[Spade Panel]]s, a special [[tower]] level, and a [[castle]] that has been taken over by an [[airship]]. There are two parts to the world, "The Ground" and "The Sky," connected by the tower level. The first three levels, the first fortress, the first Toad's House, one Spade Panel, and two of the Hammer Brothers are on the ground, while everything else is in the sky. The world's airship can move between the two. The [[kings|king of Sky Land]] is an older man, wearing a crown, and with long white hair, and a long white beard. During the events of the game, the [[Koopalings|Koopaling]] [[Roy|Roy Koopa]] turns him into a bird; the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] versions of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' see him get turned into an [[Albatoss]]. 

This is the only world that can be returned to after completion, which is done by using the [[Warp Whistle]] in [[Ice Land]] and picking the [[Warp Pipe]] in the [[Warp Zone (Super Mario Bros. 3)|Warp Zone]] that takes the player back to Sky Land, with all progress reset.

The ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' map shows that the ground area of World 5 was located to the east of [[Giant Land|World 4]] and south of [[Dark Land|World 8]]. The ground map has a different layout when seen on the map on "The Sky"; the hills are arranged differently, the lake appears to be missing, the tower is southwest of where it normally is, and an additional path is shown at the northwest of it. This was fixed in the Game Boy Advance version. The map icon for the fortress in the sky portion is also colored blue, which occurs only in this world. 

A sped-up version of the sky portion's music is reused as part of [[Princess Peach]]'s [[Final Smash]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], [[Peach Blossom]]. 

Sky Land has the following levels:

===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
[[File:SkyLandCartoon.jpg|thumb|Sky Land in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''.]]
Sky Land appeared in several episodes of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The ground portion of Sky Land never made an appearance; Sky Land was implied to exist directly above the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] itself, and is connected to the mainland by a stairway made out of floating blocks. Sky Land is ruled by [[Emperor Ed]].

'''[[Reign Storm]]''': One of the problems that [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] face while trying to run the Mushroom Kingdom during [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]'s absence is that the stairway to Sky Land is floating off and dropping people in the garbage dump.

'''[[A Toadally Magical Adventure]]''': The first episode where this world is shown as the title card. While unstated, the [[Ace Magic Wand Factory]] seems to be based in Sky Land. Bowser and several Koopalings have their sights set on obtaining a special wand that is being delivered to the [[Wizard King of the West]]; having spotted the Koopas, the Wizard King of the West alerts the Mario Bros. and requests for them to prevent the wand from being stolen.

'''[[Up, Up, and a Koopa]]''': The second episode where this world is shown as the title card. After abducting Emperor Ed, Bowser uses [[Ludwig|Kooky]]'s new [[Kooper-Dooper Raiser-Upper]] from onboard the [[Airship#The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3|Doom Ship]] to levitate everything in the Mushroom Kingdom up to Sky Land (sometimes called "Sky World" in this episode) in an attempt to force [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] into surrendering her kingdom. However, Bowser overloads the Raiser-Upper causing everything that was being levitated to fall back down to the Mushroom Kingdom. In the process, Emeperor Ed falls out of the Doom Ship and lands on [[Toad]]. He alerts Princess Toadstool as to what's going on, so Mario and Luigi obtain [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon Power]] to bring Emperor Ed back to Sky Land and fly to the Doom Ship. However, they get caught, prompting Princess Toadstool and Toad to fly up to Sky Land using [[P-Wing]]s. Bowser then decides to take over Sky Land as well by tormenting its people with the Raiser Upper. However, Princess Toadstool and Toad make it to the Doom Ship, where they rescue Mario and Luigi. The group steals the Raiser Upper and use it to not only restore Sky Land and the Mushroom Kingdom back to normal, but to levitate the Doom Ship back to [[Dark Land]].

==Notes==
*There is a glitch in the original version where the Airship can "hide" in an undetermined area between "The Ground" and "The Sky". This means that, if this happens, the player can be permanently stuck and unable to continue, as they cannot reach the Airship to challenge it. The Airship appears to be in the top left corner of Sky Land's screen, where a miniature version of the ground is visible.<ref>{{cite|author=EyeCarumba|date=May 11, 2013|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=AClCpyg6toI|title=Super Mario Bros. 3 - World 5 Airship Glitch|publisher=YouTube|language=en|accessdate=June 24, 2024}}</ref>
