'''Rainbow Path''' is a bonus world from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', unlocked by defeating the final boss of [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8]]. Each of the eight [[level]]s in this world are unlocked by getting all of the [[Star Coin]]s in the world of the corresponding level number (e.g. All Star Coins in World 1 unlocks World 9-1). World 9 also has Star Coins, but the player doesn't unlock any new stages for collecting them all. There is a total of 24 Star Coins in World 9. Regardless, they're still needed if the player wants to get all five stars on his or her profile on the file select screen. Despite being a rainbow-themed world, the levels take place in places other than rainbow-themed ones.

==Level Information==
'''World 9''' is the final world from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. It is a special world unlocked by defeating [[Bowser]] in {{world-link|8|bowser|World 8-Bowser's Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}. Each of the eight [[level]]s in this world is unlocked by collecting all of the [[Star Coin]]s in the world of the corresponding level number. For example, collecting all Star Coins in [[World 1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1]] will unlock [[World 9-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-1]]. Each level features the background and a music track from one of the previous eight worlds. World 9's levels were designed to be some of the hardest in the game. None of the levels have any [[Checkpoint Flag|midway point]]s. The [[Super Guide]] is absent entirely, even if the player loses eight [[Extra life|lives]] in the same level. The rainbow theme is similar to the [[Rainbow Road]] courses in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], with the world map music even being an arrangement of [[N64 Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]]'s music from ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. World 9 has a total of 24 Star Coins, which are needed if the player wants to get all five stars on their profile on the file select screen. Unlike in previous worlds, the levels can be played in any order, and no [[Enemy Course]]s, [[Tower|fortress]]es, or [[castle]]s (or levels based on them) appear in this world. This is one of only two playable worlds in the ''Super Mario'' side-scrolling games to not include a true castle level, the other being [[World 9 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 9]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', which is also a bonus world that unlocks after completing the game (however, [[World 9-3 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 9-3 in ''The Lost Levels'']] does have a similar theme to the castle levels, though it takes place outside).
==={{world|9|1}}===
[[Image:9-1nsmbwii.png|thumb|right|'''9-1''']]
Although this stage is unlocked for World 1, the layout is similar to 7-1. There are lots of spinning rectangle platforms around the level. Also appearing is a big L shaped (also spinning) platform. Like all World 9 levels, there is no halfway line, making it difficult to traverse the level.  [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s are the main enemy in this stage.


==={{world|9|2}}===
[[Princess Peach]] alludes to World 9 in the first ending, where she asks [[Mario]] if she ever told him about the secret world while departing back for the Mushroom Kingdom.
[[File:9-2 NSMBW.png|thumb|left|'''9-2''']]
This stage takes place at a beach setting. The player must get to the goal avoiding a [[Porcu-Puffer]] and many [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]]s. In this level there are lots of spots were players can fall. [[Cheep-Chomp]] makes its main second appearance in this level.

World 9-4 involves a desert landscape, which has many pipes and auto-scrolls. Most of its enemies are [[Venus Fire Trap]]s and [[Bob-omb]]s. Its main power-up is an Ice Flower, which is required to get the last [[Star Coin]].

A snow level where the player must get to the top of the Icy Mountain, while avoiding [[Cooligan]]s, [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]], and [[Fuzzy|Mega Fuzzies]]. The first [[Star Coin]] is just outside a pipe that spawns Cooligans, and can be easily obtained by sliding with the [[Penguin Suit]]. The second one is near another pipe, and can be obtained with a wall jump, though sliding is still recommended. The last one is tricky, as the player must freeze a Fuzzy to use it as a platform to reach it.

==={{world|9|7}}===
[[Image:9-7nsmbwii.png|thumb|right|'''9-7''']]
The penultimate course is notoriously difficult. The level takes place in a snowy forest, with floors made of ice blocks, and pipes. [[Venus Fire Trap]]s, [[Piranha Plant]]s, and [[Fire Bro.|Fire Bros.]] appear in this level, using their fiery attacks to burn open chestnut shells, revealing [[Goomba]]s, and melting away the frozen landscape, making it difficult to traverse. [[Muncher]]s also make an appearance in this level.


The first [[Star Coin]] is found near the beginning, between some Venus Fire Trap pipes. The second one requires the use of [[Fire Mario]] or [[Venus Fire Trap]]s to melt the ice blocks covering the star coin. The last one can be obtained by letting the Fire Bros. use their own fire balls to melt the ice and wall-jumping, or using [[Propeller Mario]].

The last stage of the game is a sky level. In it, the "floor" is made of several clouds that let Mario jump every time he falls on them. A little ahead, two [[Question Block|? Block]]s are found and one of those contains a Propeller Mushroom, which can improve a player's chance of survival greatly. A little more forward, the first [[Star Coin]] is found surrounded by [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]] and after this part, a Random Item Block is found surrounded by 5 Fuzzies, one being a mega. Below them, a ? Block from the right contains a [[Mini Mushroom]] that can help the player to access high places. After that, the second Star Coin is found alongside Fuzzies.
 
Forward, [[King Bill]]s begin to break down walls so Mario can continue his progress. The third Star Coin is found stuck between walls that a King Bill will destroy. Arriving at the end of stage, a last King Bill will appear near the flagpole where it can be destroyed if the player jumps on the flagpole before being hit by it. This course has the background from World 7.

*This world is similar to the [[Special World]] and [[Star World]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', and to the [[Rainbow Road]] from the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]].
*The [[Rainbow Road]] theme from ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' can be heard at some point in the World 9 map theme.
*None of the levels have [[Checkpoint Flag]]s.  This is likely done to imitate ''[[Super Mario World|Super Mario World's]]'' [[Special World]], and its difficulty.
*World 9-8 has rainbow platforms that bear a slight resemblance to the world itself.
*Some of the coin formations in World 9-8 display a letter, which resembles the letter seen on [[Waluigi|Waluigi's]] cap; the "Γ".
**However, these formations are most likely based on a coin.

World 9 is the final world from New Super Mario Bros. Wii. It is a special world unlocked by defeating Bowser in World 8-Bowser's Castle. Each of the eight levels in this world is unlocked by collecting all of the Star Coins in the world of the corresponding level number. For example, collecting all Star Coins in World 1 will unlock World 9-1. Each level features the background and a music track from one of the previous eight worlds. World 9's levels were designed to be some of the hardest in the game. None of the levels have any midway points. The Super Guide is absent entirely, even if the player loses eight lives in the same level. The rainbow theme is similar to the Rainbow Road courses in the Mario Kart series, with the world map music even being an arrangement of Rainbow Road's music from Mario Kart 64. World 9 has a total of 24 Star Coins, which are needed if the player wants to get all five stars on their profile on the file select screen. Unlike in previous worlds, the levels can be played in any order, and no Enemy Courses, fortresses, or castles (or levels based on them) appear in this world. This is one of only two playable worlds in the Super Mario side-scrolling games to not include a true castle level, the other being World 9 in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, which is also a bonus world that unlocks after completing the game (however, World 9-3 in The Lost Levels does have a similar theme to the castle levels, though it takes place outside).

Princess Peach alludes to World 9 in the first ending, where she asks Mario if she ever told him about the secret world while departing back for the Mushroom Kingdom.
