The level is very similar to World 5-3. The level contains several swinging platforms, as well as [[Donut Lift]]s. There are some block platforms scattered through the area. [[Para-Biddybud]]s are the primary foes in this level. Mario begins on a group of block platforms before getting on a swinging platform. He must then cross two Donut Lifts and jump onto another swinging platform, then fall onto another swinging platform, and then jump onto another. After crossing another group of block platforms, Mario and Luigi will have to ride two more swinging platforms before reaching another group of platforms with the [[Checkpoint Flag]]. He must then get on an automatically swinging platform, followed by jumping onto an orange bouncy platform and another swinging platform. Next will be a group of Donut Lifts, with five Para-Biddybuds floating above them. The path then splits here. On one end is a swinging platform, followed by an orange, bouncy platform and more Donut Lifts. On the other is platform followed by swinging platform and more colored platforms, with some Biddybuds, then the Donut Lifts. Next is a group of automatically swinging platforms, then the [[Flagpole]].

This level is designed after World 4-3. The level contains mostly colored spinning blocks, but has some of the checkered grassy platforms. Mario begins on one of the grass platforms. After jumping on one of the orange platforms, he lands on a blue spinning platform. After leaping onto another, the player must jump onto one of the Paragoombas here in order to reach another grass platform, if not [[Tanooki Mario|Tanooki]]/[[Statue Mario]]. By using the [[Flying Question Block]], the player can reach an upper platform containing two Question Blocks, one of which provides a [[Statue Leaf]]. On the ground is a [[Spiny]]. This platform is followed by a series of rotating platforms, another platform, two rotating blocks, yet another platform, and three more rotating blocks before the player reaches a rather large grass platform with the Checkpoint Flag and a [[Piranha Plant]]. Leaping up the platform will allow the player to see two more Piranha Plants, and then a bouncy orange block leading to more rotating blocks. Past these is a platform with the end flag on it.

The level is based on [[World 7 (Super Mario 3D Land)#World 7-3|World 7-3]]. However, it take place at daytime and the music is different. It also only give the player 30 seconds to complete it, but there are several [[+ Clock]]s scattered around, and the [[Midway Flag]] does not appear in the level. Mario starts the level on two tree platforms, with a tightrope dividing them and two [[Stingby|Stingbies]]. The player must then climb several more tightropes, avoiding Fuzzies and a Venus Fire Trap to reach a Warp Box. This area takes Mario to an area close by, with three more tightropes and a Fuzzy. On a large wood platform is another Warp Box leading to another area where Mario must climb up tightropes, avoiding two groups of Fuzzies, a Venus Fire Trap, and two Para-Biddybuds. The Warp Box here leads to the end of the level.
 
====Star Medals====
*'''Star Medal 1''': Mario can use the tightrope closest to the first Venus Fire Trap in the level to collect the Star Medal floating above it.
*'''Star Medal 2''': The second Star Medal is to the right of the second Warp Box.
*'''Star Medal 3''': Using the tightrope heading in a diagonal direction, the player can leap up at the beginning of said tightrope to collect the third Star Medal.
 
==={{world|S3|4}}===
====Layout====
This level is similar to World 7-2. The beginning has Mario having to dodge several fast-moving spiked cylinders on chains and two Boomerang Bros. to reach a door. Behind the door is the midway flag and a platform that tilts with Mario's weight, like with World 7-2; the player, however, must dodge large spiked balls that spawn out of portals instead of spiked cylinders. The first obstacles after entering the fortress again are two Boomerang Bros.; defeating them gives the player a Boomerang Flower. The player must then avoid more chained spiked cylinders, this time fully rotating, along with some Donut Lifts to reach the exit. Outside are three sets of Donut Lifts, along with three more chained and fully rotating spiked cylinders, and the flag.
 
====Star Medals====
*'''Star Medal 1''': Star Medal one is floating above the path of two spiked cylinders.
*'''Star Medal 2''': Beyond the midway point and after the tilting platform, the Star Medal is floating outside the entrance to the fortress; it can be reached with a wall jump.
*'''Star Medal 3''': Floating above one of the Donut Lifts is the Star Medal.
 
==={{world|S3|5}}===
====Layout====
This level has a similar design to [[World 6 (Super Mario 3D Land)#World 6-4|World 6-4]]; however, unlike 6-4, whenever a [[Beat Block]] appears, the one that appeared before disappears. The level begins with Mario on on a wood platform. Crossing three Beat Blocks takes the player to another platform with a [[Wallop]] on it. The next platform after the second set of Beat Blocks has three [[Question Block]]s and two [[Prongo]]s, and the raised part of the platform has a Wallop before the door. Beyond the door is another Wallop guarding the path onward. After climbing up several Beat Blocks, there is a door leading to the Checkpoint Flag. Just past the Beat Blocks are two Wallops on separate platforms. Moving onward, the player must use the Beat Blocks to get up to the next platform. He or she must then cross several Beat Blocks while avoided spiked bars rotating like [[Firebar]]s. Afterward, there is a platform with a Prongo, followed by two sets of Beat Blocks with chained spiked bars as a hazard; between these is another platform with a Prongo on it. After this is another set of Beat Blocks and the Flagpole.
 
====Star Medals====
*'''Star Medal 1''': After entering the door, the Star Medal is floating high up to the left of the entrance.
*'''Star Medal 2''': Just past the midway point, on the yellow Beat Block on the right.
*'''Star Medal 3''': Floating above the third spiked bar.
 
==={{world|S3|airship}}===
====Layout====
In order to access the level, the player must have acquired 140 Star Medals. The level is similar in design to the [[World 2 (Super Mario 3D Land)#World 2-Airship|World 2-Airship]], but the screen scrolls faster. The player begins at the front of an airship, with three [[Rocket Engine]]s stacked on top of each other. On the end is a tightrope leading to another airship; here, two [[Bullet Bill]]s are shot at the player, with a pair of [[Bullet Bill Blaster]]s in the distance. Mounted on the second airship are three Bullet Bill Blasters. On the next airship, there is a Bill Blaster shooting Bullets toward the [[Question Block]], as well as a [[Rocky Wrench]]. Afterward, there are two more Bullet Bill Blasters, one off in the distance and one on the next airship, which can be access by a plank with several [[Crate]]s on it. The next ship has several Rocket Engines on it. The player must then jump across to the airship with the Flagpole on it; however, if the player heads down to the lower part of the ship, there are three Tanooki Toads that give him or her coins.
 
====Star Medals====
*'''Star Medal 1''': On the side of the second airship, on top of the Bullet Bill Blasters
*'''Star Medal 2''': Floating in the air near the wall on the airship with the Rocky Wrench.
*'''Star Medal 3''': Just after Star Medal two, on the Airship underneath the next one.
