'''Star World 3''' is the third [[Star World]] [[level]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. It is accessible by the [[Star Road (Super Mario World)|Star Road]] located to the south of [[Soda Lake]] and also via the secret exit of [[Star World 2]]. This level takes place in the sky and features a rare yellow-colored [[Baby Yoshi]]. It is the shortest level in the game.

Star World 3 consists of one short screen, which the player has 200 seconds on the [[Time Limit|Timer]] to complete. It is made mostly out of [[Grab Block]]s, and grabbing the wrong Grab Block could lead to losing a [[Extra life|life]]. There is a [[Gray P Switch]] which can be used to change the [[Spiny|Spinies]] the [[Lakitu]] throws at the player into [[Gray Coin]]s, which can be collected to get many extra lives. Like all Star World levels, there are two ways to complete the level.

Placed behind the Giant Gate are three [[Dragon Coin]]s in [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|the remake]] only. They can be obtained by taking Lakitu's cloud and going up into the opening in the middle and over the right wall, allowing the player to go over and behind the Giant Gate.

===Normal exit===
The [[Giant Gate]] is directly to the player's right at the start of the level.

===Secret exit===
To find the [[Key]] and [[Keyhole]], the player has to hit the Lakitu with a Grab Block (or a [[fireball]] if [[Fire Mario]]), then steal his [[Lakitu's Cloud|Cloud]]. The player should use the cloud to float up through the opening in the Blocks in the middle, and then float to the left side. To get the Key, the player should hit the [[? Block]]. After the Key has been obtained, the player should take it to the right side of the gap and put it in the Keyhole. Beating the level this way allows access to [[Star World 4]], and to the Star Road that warps the player to just outside of the [[Forest of Illusion]] (though the player will not be able to go anywhere if they have not yet unlocked the [[secret exit]] in [[Forest of Illusion 4]] and subsequently cleared [[Forest Secret Area]] and [[Forest Fortress]]).

It is also possible to fly through the opening as [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]].
