'''Sparkling Waters''' is the tropical third world of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''. Players can reach it by moving south from the end of [[Layer-Cake Desert]]. Sparkling Waters lies east of [[Acorn Plains]], south-east from [[Layer-Cake Desert]], south from [[Frosted Glacier]], west from [[Soda Jungle]] and [[Rock-Candy Mines]] and south-west from [[Meringue Clouds]] and [[Peach's Castle (world)|Peach's Castle]]. Sparkling Waters is an archipelago with bubbling [[Water Spout|Water Spouts]], which is quite similar to [[World 3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 3]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' as that tropical world also had multiple islands. It is one of two of the worlds that the player can choose from after beating [[Morton Koopa Jr.]] in [[Morton's Compactor Castle]] ([[Morton's Lava-Block Castle]] in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''), the other being [[Frosted Glacier]]. Because of this, it is quite possible to play through the game without ever reaching Sparkling Waters. The world's name is possibly a reference to [[wikipedia:Carbonated water|carbonated water]]. There are 9 levels in this world, consisting of 5 normal levels, a [[Sunken Ship]], a secret level, the [[Tower]] level and the [[Castle]] level. There is a [[Balloon Baby Yoshi]] between [[Above the Cheep Cheep Seas]] and [[Urchin Shoals]]. The boss of this world is [[Larry Koopa]]. One color of each [[Toad House]] can be found here, along with the [[Secret Island]], seen just left of Sparkling Waters.
