'''{{world|4|fort}} 2''' is the eighth level and the second [[fortress]] of [[Giant Land]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. It becomes accessible after clearing either World [[World 4-5 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|4-5]] or [[World 4-6 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|4-6]] and its own completion unlocks {{world-link|4|airship3|World 4-Airship (Super Mario Bros. 3)}}.

==Layout==
The player starts at the bottom of some stone stairs, which ends at a pool of [[lava]]. To get across, the player needs to move across a group of broken up platforms made up of [[Donut Block|Donut Lift]]s, with a [[? Block]] containing a power-up in the middle of the area. Afterward is a narrow hall with some [[Dry Bones]] and a [[Brick Block]] containing a [[P Switch|Switch Block]]. The Brick Block can be used as a platform to reach a hall leading to [[Boom Boom]], though hitting the Switch Block will reveal a door to a secret area.

If the player enters the secret door, they will be brought to the bottom of a vertically long area made up of several [[Warp Pipe]]s and [[Directional Lift]]s. The room also wraps around, meaning if the player moves through the left side of the screen, they will appear on the right and vice versa. Using the Arrow Lifts and Warp Pipes, the player can reach another pipe at the top that will drop the player into a room with some [[coin]]s and [[Hidden Block]]s that can lead to a Brick Block containing a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. Going through the pipe on the floor will take the player to a room with a [[Mega ? Block]] containing three 1-Up Mushrooms, and if the player is powered-up with a [[Super Leaf]], [[Tanooki Suit]], or [[P-Wing|Magic Wing]], the player can fly to the left to reach an area with many coins. Going through the Warp Pipe to the right will take the player back into the fortress near Boom Boom.
