'''World 8''' is the eighth and final normal world that [[Mario]] travels to in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. The setting of this world is a volcanic area. Crags and volcanoes are found in the background, while the [[lava]] below creates a red mist. World 8 contains eight levels and no [[Toad House]]s or [[Mystery Box]]es unlike other worlds. [[Banzai Bill]]s, [[Banzai Bill Cannon]]s, and [[Magmaargh]]s are the enemies that first appear in World 8. It also consists of two areas, the first containing five levels and Bowser's first castle, and the second containing the sixth level and Bowser's second castle, which is considerably larger than the first as it takes up the entire second part of World 8.

This level is a [[Ghost House]] level. The player starts on a staircase-like platform. Upon reaching the end, a section of platform begins moving along on its own. Along the path are a few [[Spiky Plant]]s, and some Boos. The platform later connects to another platform, which contains an unlit torch and several Question Blocks. Mario must then jump onto a [[Switchboard]], while avoiding several small and large pushing walls, as well as three [[Tail Boo]]s. The platform at the end of the Switchboard's path contains the Midway Flag. The platform after this is circular and continuously spins around. In the center is a Question Block containing a [[Star]], though five Boos (one being a Tail Boo) spawn as soon as it is hit. The next platform moves as soon as it is hit; the player must avoid several [[Peepa]]s and Boos, as well as a [[Big Boo]] as it travels along. The platform's destination contains the door leading outside with another moving platform and the Flagpole.

===World 8-5===
====Overview====
The level is modeled after a fortress. The player starts out on a set of platforms, then must cross two rock-style Donut Lifts to reach a [[Reversible Platform]]. He or she must cross three more of these, while avoiding [[Paragoomba]]s. The player must then cross some more rock Donut Lifts downward to reach more platforms and more Reversible Platforms; on the other end of the reversing platforms are three [[Bullet Bill Blaster]]s, and a pole that Mario must climb to reach an [[elevator]] that takes him to the next area; the midway flag is here. Afterward are several Reversible Platforms, as well as [[Rocky Wrench]]es. After this, the player must clime more rock Donut Lifts to get to another platform with several more Reversible Platforms after. The obstacle for these platforms are [[Banzai Bill]]s; however, they only fire toward the red sides of the platforms. After this is another set of two Reversible Platforms with another Rocky Wrench on the other side, followed by the Flagpole.
 
====Star Medals====
*'''Star Medal 1:''' The medal is found at the beginning of the level, on the blue side of the fourth Reversible Platform.

==={{World|8|bowser}} 1===
====Overview====
This level requires 90 Star Medals to unlock. At the beginning, Mario is on a platform surrounded by lava. On the other end is a [[P-Switch]], guarded by a pair of Magikoopas. Pressing the button causes a grate platform to rise out of the lava, allowing Mario to advance. On the next platform is a pair of Dry Bones. Following this is another grate platform, with a [[Coin Block|Coin Question Block]] on it; however, there is also a [[Magmaargh]] that appears out of the lava to attack Mario, as well as a [[Podoboo]] in the lava on the other side. On the next platform, there is a [[Draglet]], with the next platform being across the lava; there are also two Podoboos jumping out of it. Next, there is a pole; the player must use this to jump onto another pole to reach the next platform, but there are two lava geysers on both side of it. The next platform has a [[Firebar]] and another Magikoopa. He or she must then jump onto a Switchboard to cross the lava and reach the next area, while avoiding several Magmaarghs. On the next area is the [[Midway Flag]], as well as another P-Switch which not only spawns some coins but also causes the section of the platform it is on to rise. The area this leads to contains three [[Boomerang Bro.|Boomerang Bros.]]. After the player passes them, he or she reaches an area with platforms that spawn when the player nears them; there are also some Magikoopas that appear. This leads to a [[Warp Box]], which takes the player to the area where he or she must face [[Bowser]]. After crossing several rotating platforms, he or she must then cross a section with a tightrope above lava. The player must then cross several rock [[Donut Lift]]s to reach the bridge that the switch necessary to defeat Bowser is across. By pressing the switch, Bowser falls into the lava, where he is defeated. However, inside the room following, there is only an empty cage.
 
Upon entering the door at the end of the room, a cutscene is shown; Mario finds what he believes is the princess, but, upon further examination, he finds out that it is really a cardboard cutout. Bowser then shows up, holding the real Princess Peach. Mario attempts to get her back, but Bowser leaps away and heads off; if the player replays this level, this cutscene is not shown a second time. A Warp Block is then present, which takes the player to the tower with the Flagpole.
 
====Star Medals====
*'''Star Medal 1:''' After passing a Draglet, the player will come across a pair of poles. The player needs to hop off the first pole, while avoiding the rising magma pillars, to second pole to reach the medal.
*'''Star Medal 2:''' After the checkpoint, the player will face some Boomerang Bros. Defeating all three will grant the player with a [[Boomerang Flower]], which is needed to grab the medal nearby. It can also be obtained by clasping the wall and [[Wall Jump|wall-jumping]] when near the lava to grab the medal.
*'''Star Medal 3:''' During the fight with Bowser, it can be seen floating over the lava and between 2 platforms. Mario needs the [[Boomerang Flower]] to reach it.
 
===World 8-6===
====Overview====
This level is at the beginning of the second area in World 8, and is modeled after a castle level. The player starts on a platform, and must cross three grate platforms that sink when touched. The next platform has a Dry Bones, as well as a round, grate-like object at the end of it; by standing on the other end, it begins rolling down toward the next platform. The end of the next platform is guarded by a [[Wallop]], and there is a nut on a bolt; the player must stand in the direction the arrows are facing so that it heads toward a Warp Box; however, as soon as Mario steps on it, he is challenged by a Magikoopa. The Warp Box takes Mario to the area with the midway flag on it. On the lower part of the platform are a Dry Bones and another Wallop. The player must then take another angular object that rolls depending on the side the player is on; on the next platform is a Dry Bones and a Draglet, with another cylindrical grate afterward. As the player advances, there are several lava geysers opposing him or her. The next area is another bolt that rises if the player runs in the direction of the arrows. The next platform is another platform that rotates with the player's weight. Two Magikoopas spawn as soon as the player reaches the middle, and a Warp Box is at the end, on the interior of the platform. This Warp Box leads the player to another cylindrical mesh, which takes him or her to the platform with the Flagpole.
 
====Star Medals====
*'''Star Medal 1:''' Near the beginning of the level, there will be a large nut and a bolt. The player should turn the nut counterclockwise (rotate it to the south) to be able to reach the first medal.
*'''Star Medal 2:''' While rolling across the lava on the cylindrical mesh, the player should see a [[Plus Clock]] near a sinking platform. If the player stands on the sinking platform, they will grab the second medal.
*'''Star Medal 3:''' This medal is found at the end, right above the Warp Block. The player needs to move along the platform to move it, so the medal can be reached.

When going in the mouth, coins will appear on both sides of the Spine Coaster, it then goes down which a massive fireball comes right at the middle of the coaster. It then turns on the side with more fireballs coming, breaking little towers. It then turns on the other side with even more fireballs coming. After that, the coaster goes by a Fire Cog in which the player must go over it. The player then jumps to a platform where lava will shoot out from underneath and will go by the rock platforms that break apart. After the player goes through the rock platforms, there will be 3 platforms with fireballs coming out of the gate. The second platform will have a [[Dry Bones]] on it. After jumping on those wooden platforms, the player will go on another Spine Coaster. While on it, the player will see lava that looks like its about to hit them, but lava from underneath has the coaster go above the lava. Then, the player has to avoid 2 sets of fireballs going by the coaster. The coaster then has lava from below shoot out and then stops at a point before the cannons. Then, Mario will go up stairs and will see 3 [[Toad (species)|Toads]] on the side cheering on the plumber. One of them will give the player a 1-up.

The floor starts to crack and then breaks where both Bowser and Mario fall. The player then tries to go defeat Bowser by going up to the button. Bowser will try to hit Mario with Fireballs & Spike Balls. After Mario is done with the tightrope, Bowser will try to hit Mario with [[Barrels]]. After that, Mario will go up a few stairs and will be on a blue platform where Mario must go over him to go to the other side. When the player is on the other side to another blue platform, they will have to go over Bowser again. Then, either duck the fireballs or jump over his tail to have the bricks broken next to Mario on the right. The player will then hit the button with Bowser's emblem on it and the floor will break with Bowser falling to the lava. After going up more steps. Bowser will somehow reappear after falling in lava, spitting out pink fireballs while the player tries to go up. After Mario goes up, the player must either duck under, jump over or move left or right the Brick Blocks while trying to not get hit by Bowser as he is running behind Mario to get him. After that, the player hit the button with Bowser's emblem on it and Bowser falls into the lava again. A cut-scene is shown him slowly falling in the lava with part of the floor hitting his head. He then goes in the lava. After this, there is no time limit. The player goes up more stairs and sees in a cut-scene, Peach, happily saying "Mario!". The player goes on the flagpole, freeing Peach and ending the level. It then shows the three Toads who were cheering on him by the cannon with Super Leaves, Mario with a Super Leaf and Peach soaring around the sky as the credits rolling. Along the way, Bowser is shown trying to get Mario atop of a [[Goomba|Goomba Tower]]  but failing to do so. At the end, it shows a picture of Mario and Peach on a branch of the Tanooki Tree with Mario holding a Super Leaf.
