'''World 8-3''' is the third level of [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. It is unlocked by completing [[World 8-2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-2]] through the normal exit, while its own completion unlocks [[World 8-Tower (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-Tower]].

The level starts out in a cavern full of [[lava]]. Throughout the level, the player must avoid giant waves of lava that cause them to instantly lose a life upon contact. Hanging over the lava are chained platforms that tilt and sink when one of the characters step on them; these platforms can be found throughout most of the level's first half, with [[Koopa Troopa]]s and [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s placed on or around them. Shortly after the [[Checkpoint Flag|midway point]] is a series of tunnels that require the player to weave through incoming lava waves to pass safely. Following the tunnel is a series of weighted platforms that also sink if stepped on. [[Flame Chomp]]s are found in this area. At the end is a [[Warp Pipe]] that takes players to the level's [[Goal Pole|pole]].

|Shortly after the beginning of the level, the first Star Coin is floating under the second chain-hanging platform. The player must stand on the left side of the platform at the right time to descend down towards the Star Coin without touching the lava.

|The second Star Coin is located in the narrow area shortly after the [[midway point]], floating under a platform with a few other [[coin]]s. The player must wait for any lava waves to pass before collecting it.
