'''Water Land''' (more commonly known as the '''Ocean Side''') is a water-themed world, and the third world in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Water Land has nine stages, two [[Hammer Bros.]], two fortresses, and five [[Toad House]]s. [[Cheep-Cheep]]s and [[Blooper]]s are a common enemy in this world.
==History==
===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===
Water Land becomes accessible after completing [[Desert Land]] in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. It is a water-themed world with nine stages, two [[Hammer Bro]]thers, two [[fortress]]es, five [[Toad House]]s, five [[Spade Panel]]s, and a [[castle]] that has been taken over by an [[airship]]. [[Cheep Cheep|Cheep-Cheep]]s and [[Blooper|Bloober]]s are common enemies in this world, and the [[Big Cheep Cheep|Boss Bass]] is also encountered here. Water Land is the first world in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' to have more than one fortress. In the original version, most of the overworld sections of this world's levels have a peach-colored sky. The green bridges on the map swap between crossable and non-crossable each time Mario or Luigi either completes a course or loses a life. Additionally, the map of ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' shows that World 3 is located to the south of [[Desert Land|World 2]] and west of [[Giant Land|World 4]].


The ruler of the swift tides of Water Land is [[Wendy|Wendy O. Koopa]]. The real [[kings|king of Water Land]] (who bears a resemblance to [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]) resides in a castle on an island chain. The chain of islands is in the shape of [[Japan]], with the castle being located where the city of {{wp|Kyoto}} would be, the city in which the [[Nintendo]] headquarters is located. During the events of the game, the Water Land king is turned into a {{wp|Kappa (folklore)|kappa}}; the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] versions of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' see him transformed as a [[Dino Rhino]].  
The ruler of the swift tides of Water Land is [[Wendy O. Koopa]].


On the world map, if the player has a [[Hammer]] in their inventory, they can break a rock to gain access to the canoe and then use it to cross the water to an island with two [[Toad House]]s and two [[Spade Panel]]s and a second island with a third Toad House. The [[Family Computer]] version has a glitch involving the canoe that can be performed by staying on the canoe and getting a [[Recorder|Magic Whistle]], which will result in walking on water, getting into a glitched map, and it can also be used to access every other world.
==Level Descriptions==
===3-1===
[[Image:SMAS 3-1.PNG|left|thumb]]
The first level is set at the bottom of the sea. If the player swims down when a [[Blooper Nanny]] appears, they can access an area with many [[♪ Block]]s, [[Coin]]s, and a block containing a [[1-up]].
<br clear=all>


The levels in Water Land include the following:
===3-2===
{{content description

|name1=[[World 3-1 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 3-1]]
After leaping onto the first moving platform, pushing against the a certain wooden block will reveal a [[Starman]]. When invincible, all [[? Blocks]] along the way will hold more Starmen; if not, they will contain one [[coin]]. To reach the exit, Mario must enter a pipe when the [[Venus Fire Trap]] backs into the pipe.

|description2=This level has the player jumping on scattered and moving platforms while avoiding [[Cheep Cheep|Cheep-Cheep]]s.
This level features [[Boss Bass]]es. If Mario approaches one, it will lunge at him, and if it comes in contact, Mario will instantly lose one life, even if he is equipped with an item. Even though the Boss Bass can be killed with a [[fireball]], a new one will eventually come back. By stepping on a Koopa to the left of a Note Block and a huge formation of blocks, the player will reveal a [[P Switch]], allowing Coins to appear and the power-up in the Note Block to be grabbed more easily.

[[Image:SMAS 3-C1.PNG|right|thumb]]
|image4=[[File:SMAS SMB3 World 3-F1 Screenshot.png|200px]]
This castle is a huge maze, with doors all leading to different places. The first, second, third, and fourth doors all lead to the same place: a pool of water with a ? Block concealing a power-up at the end, and two pipes that lead to the beginning of the level. The fifth leads to a secret ledge with a 1-Up in a block, the sixth to a ledge with the door to the Boom Boom battle, the seventh and eighth to the pool, but the last has a cache of coins only [[Raccoon Mario]] can snag.
|description4=The first [[fortress]] level of Water Land has the player figure out which door leads to [[Boom Boom]].

[[Image:SMAS 3-4.PNG|left|thumb]]
|name6=[[World 3-5 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 3-5]]
The level begins with two [[Goomba]]s walking up a small slope. They can be easily dispatched by pressing and holding Down on the D-Pad while walking down the slope. Immediately afterward, a [[Piranha Plant]] inside a pipe is stationed. A [[? Block]] right by yields either a [[Super Mushroom]] or a [[Fire Flower]], depending on what the player currently is equipped with. A larger slope curves down nearby, with three Goombas walking up it.  
|image6=[[File:SMAS SMB3 World 3-5 Screenshot.png|200px]]
 
|description6=Another underwater level, with Big Berthas and [[Jelectro]]s.
Later in the level is a pipe extending from the top of the level downwards. The pipe contains a Venus Fire Trap. A P Switch is revealed if one of the low blocks is hit from the bottom. When pressed, many Silver Coins appear near the area of the button. Ahead are two ? Blocks, one containing a [[Super Leaf]]. Shortly after, the [[Goal Panel]] is located.

|name8=[[World 3-7 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 3-7]]
This level introduces [[Jelectro]]s, invincible jellyfish enemies, and [[Big Bertha]]s, who look similar to Boss Basses, but simply shoot [[Baby Cheep]]s out of their maws. If Mario is equipped with a Frog Suit, he can go down a bubble-spewing pipe to gain access to three 1-Up mushrooms.

|image11=[[File:SMAS SMB3 World 3-9 Screenshot.png|200px]]
On the stack of wood blocks Mario starts out on, the top one conains a powerup. In a later group of bricks, Mario can destroy them to reveal a 1-up. After the first pipe, the player can grab a Koopa shell and release it at the top brick formation to grow a [[Magic Vine]]. It will lead to a series of cloud platforms, ending at a block that contains a P Switch. There is also a hidden pink [[Note Block]] that takes Mario to a special [[Coin Heaven]] with a [[Jugem's Cloud]] at the end!
|description11=A stage that takes place both above land and underwater.
<br clear=all>
|name12={{world-link|3|airship3|World 3-Airship (Super Mario Bros. 3)}}

This level introduces [[Stretch]]es, platforms from which [[Boo]] heads protude from. Some Stretches have Boos on one side, while others have them on both. At the end of the level is a pipe leading to [[Boom Boom]], the stage boss.
|image13=[[File:SMAS SMB3 World 3-E1 Screenshot.png|150px]] [[File:SMAS SMB3 World 3-E2 Screenshot.png|150px]]
<br clear=all>
|description13=Two Hammer Brothers patrol the map. Running into either one will result in a battle with two Hammer Brothers with two rows of seven breakable blocks each. The arena differs depending on where they are fought on the map. If encountered on land, they will be fought in an area with a hill to the left as well as a row of bushes extending to the right. If encountered in the water, the floor will be submerged. Defeating one of the Hammer Brother pairs will award the player with a chest containing a [[Hammer]], while the other will yield a [[Super Star|Starman]]. If the player met the unlock conditions for the [[Treasure Ship]], one of the Hammer Brothers will be replaced with the ship.

[[Image:SMAS 3-8.PNG|right|thumb]]
The Boss Bass is again present in this level. The water rises to higher levels, but Magic Vines are abundant, allowing Mario to reach safety. The solitary block later has a 1-Up, while the rest have either Magic Vines or Coins. The level later breaks into two paths, and rejoins by the end of the level.

===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
===3-9===
Water Land was only mentioned in one episode of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''; in "[[Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas]]," [[Roy Koopa|Bully]] (though speaking through [[Ludwig von Koopa|Kooky]]'s mouth due to an animation error) suggested that they could take over Water Land after having conquered [[Giant Land]]. "[[The Ugly Mermaid]]" does show Water Land as the title card.
[[Image:SMAS 3-9.PNG|left|thumb]]
The level features a pipe that leads to a secret room that contains a [[Frog Suit]].
<br clear=all>


===''Nintendo Comics System''===
===Airship===
Water Land is the setting of the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' story ''[[Fins and Roses]]'', which has a heavily armed Wendy O. Koopa set up an ambush for Mario, only to be annoyed by [[Stanley the Talking Fish]] while waiting for the plumber's arrival.
[[Image:SMAS 3-A3.PNG|left|thumb]]
[[Image:SMAS 3-A2.PNG|right|thumb]]
After avoiding the many obstacles along the way, Mario will meet Wendy O. Koopa. She uses [[Candy Rings]] as a weapon, and bounce off walls. After jumping on Wendy's head twice, she will start bouncing around the level, making her more difficult to jump on. After she is defeated, Mario is granted with the [[Magic Wand]].
<br clear=all>


===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
===Canoe===
In ''[[Leaping Lizards]]'', [[Morton]] and [[Iggy|Iggy Koopa]] have both set up bases in Water Land, a filthy houseboat and an underground laboratory, respectively. After the [[Mushroom King]] is transformed into a [[rabbit]] by Morton and no one can figure out how to change him back, Luigi and [[Toad]] head to Water Land to find Morton and get answers, with some of the creatures they encounter being Cheep Cheeps, Bloobers and Jelectros.
If the player has a [[Hammer]] in their inventory, they can break a dirt mound to gain access to the canoe. The player can then control the canoe across the water to an island with three [[Mushroom House]]s.
