'''World 6-9''' is the ninth main level and the eleventh level overall of [[Ice Land]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

==Layout==
There are two ways to complete this level. The shortcut can only be done if the player starts off with a [[P-Wing|Magic Wing]] or [[Super Leaf]]/[[Tanooki Suit]] and flies to the top of the [[Ice Block]] structure on the right. At the top, the player will find a [[Koopa Troopa]], two [[White Block]]s, and a [[Brick Block]] containing a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. If the player continues to the right, they will find the [[Goal (Super Mario Bros. 3)|goal]].

If the player does not have the item needed to fly, they will have to enter the [[Warp Pipe]], which leads to a flooded underground cavern. The cavern is separated into two segments, both segments having an upper path with [[Muncher]]s and a bottom path with underwater enemies. Both of the upper paths contain a [[Note Block|Jump Block]] with a power-up in it, though the first underwater segment contains a Warp Pipe at the end that the player can only enter with a [[Frog Suit]] or as [[Small Mario]].<ref>鄭才軒. (May 29, 2021). [https://youtu.be/W6RafBuozhc Super Mario Bros. 3 World 6-9 getting to the warp pipe without frogsuit]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved May 29, 2021.</ref> Through the Warp Pipe is a secret area with [[coin]]s and a large [[? Block]] with three [[1-Up Mushroom]]s. In the upper area of the second segment, there is a high Brick Block with a [[P Switch|Switch Block]] that will transform all of the Munchers into coins. The final Warp Pipe at the end above the pipe with the [[Fire Piranha Plant|Venus Fire Trap]] in it will take the player to the goal.

==Level statistics==
*Power-ups: 2 ([[Super Mushroom]]s or [[Fire Flower]]s)
*[[1-Up Mushroom]]s: 4
*Secret areas: 1 

==Trivia==
*Despite mainly being set in a watery cave, like [[World 6-6 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 6-6]]; this level's main area uses the underwater music. The bonus room that can be entered with the Frog Suit does have the underground music in the original NES and ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' versions of the game, though not in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Advance 4]]'' as it received a new theme for bonus rooms.
*The bonus rooms in this level, [[World 6-10]] and [[World 8-1 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 8-1]] are the only ones in the game that do not use the new bonus room tileset in the ''All-Stars'' version of the game, instead using the standard cave tileset (though still having the unique bonus room background). This is due to said tileset lacking slopes, which all of these rooms use. This was fixed in ''Advance 4'', which added slopes to the bonus room tileset.
