'''Layer-Cake Desert''' is the sandy second world of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', lying directly north of [[Acorn Plains]], northwest of [[Sparkling Waters]] and [[Soda Jungle]] and southwest from [[Frosted Glacier]]. Unlike the previous desert worlds, which had Egyptian pyramids, it has various desserts within the world, such as giant cakes (with one giant cake in the world map) and giant melting ice cream cones. Part of the name is derived from [[wikipedia:Layer cake|a type of cake with multiple layers, held together by frosting]]. The second part is a reference to the similarities between "desert" and "dessert". The boss of this world is [[Morton Koopa Jr.]], who was also the boss of [[Desert Hill]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. There are also giant Moai statues in a sea of sand, which also appear in some levels and in the world map. A [[Super Acorn]] can also be found in the map alongside the [[Enemy Course|Enemy Courses]], where it'll place the Super Acorn in the inventory box. There are 9 levels in this world, with 6 normal levels, a secret level, the [[Tower]] level and the [[Castle]] level, as well as a [[Goomba]] and a [[Fire Bro.]] Enemy Course, two red [[Toad Houses]] and a green Toad House. At the end of Layer-Cake Desert, there's a fork in the road, allowing the player to progress either to [[Frosted Glacier]] or [[Sparkling Waters]].

Layer-Cake Desert is the second world of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros.

Part of the name is derived from [[wikipedia:Layer cake|a type of cake with multiple layers, held together by frosting]]. The second part is a nod to the similarities between "desert" and "dessert". There are also giant Moai-like statues called [[Stone-Eye]]s in a sea of sand, which also appear in some levels and in the world map. A [[Super Acorn]] can also be found in the map alongside the [[Enemy Course]]s, where it will place the Super Acorn in the inventory box. There are 9 levels in this world, with 6 normal levels, a secret level, the [[Tower]] level, and the [[Castle]] level. The Tower boss is [[Boom Boom]] with a [[spin]]ning ability and the Castle boss of this world is [[Morton|Morton Koopa Jr.]], who was also the boss of [[Desert Land]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. There are [[Fire Bro]]ther and [[Goomba]] Enemy Courses, and three [[Toad House]]s, two red and one green.

About this image

Layer-Cake Desert is a location introduced in New Super Mario Bros. U.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

Layer-Cake Desert is the second world of New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, lying directly north of Acorn Plains, northwest of Sparkling Waters and Soda Jungle, and southwest from Frosted Glacier. Unlike the previous desert worlds, which had Egyptian pyramids, it has various desserts within the world, such as giant cakes (with one giant cake in the world map), and giant melting ice cream cones. Part of the name is derived from a type of cake with multiple layers, held together by frosting. The second part is a nod to the similarities between "desert" and "dessert". There are also giant Moai-like statues called Stone-Eyes in a sea of sand, which also appear in some levels and in the world map. A Super Acorn can also be found in the map alongside the Enemy Courses, where it will place the Super Acorn in the inventory box. There are 9 levels in this world, with 6 normal levels, a secret level, the Tower level, and the Castle level. The Tower boss is Boom Boom with a spinning ability and the Castle boss of this world is Morton Koopa Jr., who was also the boss of Desert Land in Super Mario Bros. 3. There are Fire Brother and Goomba Enemy Courses, and three Toad Houses, two red and one green. At the end of Layer-Cake Desert, there is a fork in the road, allowing the player to progress either to Frosted Glacier or Sparkling Waters.
