The '''Forest of Illusion''' is the fifth [[world]] of [[Dinosaur Land]] in the game ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

Forest of Illusion is the fifth world of Super Mario World. It has one fortress, one Ghost House, one Star Road leading to Star World 4, and the Blue Switch Palace. Forest of Illusion has many secret paths, and it is unique in that finding the regular exits only takes the player in a circle, hence its name. To find the way out of the forest, the player needs to find the secret exit in one level. Forest Secret Area, #5 Roy's Castle, and Forest Fortress are the only levels without multiple exits. When any level is beaten, in addition to a path appearing, trees disappear.

A world in New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U known as Soda Jungle features a similar haunted area. In this area, the player must beat a level via the secret exit to create a pathway that will allow the player to proceed through the world.
