'''Soda Lake''' is an underwater [[level]] that can be reached by the [[Cheese Bridge]] in the game ''[[Super Mario World]]''. To get there, [[Mario]] must get a [[Feather]] in the level [[Cheese Bridge Area]] and glide his way over the first [[Giant Gate]], to reach an alternate [[Giant Gate]], making it possible to access Soda Lake. Once Mario beats the level, he can open up a path to [[Star Road]]. Additionally, Soda Lake is the only level with the enemy known as [[Torpedo Ted]]. [[Blurp|Blurps]] also appear in this level.
'''Soda Lake''' is a secret underwater area reached by entering the secret [[Giant Gate]] of the [[Cheese Bridge Area]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. This [[level]] is located in the [[Twin Bridges]] area. [[Torpedo Ted]]s, underwater [[Bullet Bill]] relatives, are exclusive to this level, where they are dropped from [[torpedo tube]]s. They can travel through walls and are always deployed in [[Mario]]'s (or [[Luigi]]'s) direction. When Mario clears the area, he unlocks the third [[Star Road (Super Mario World)|Star Road]]. To access this level, the player must enter the Cheese Bridge Area and use a [[Cape Feather]] or [[Yoshi]] to make their way under the first Giant Gate to reach an alternate Giant Gate, making it possible to access Soda Lake.


It is not known if Soda Lake is actually soda. (Cheese Bridge isn't made of cheese, for example, and neither is Butter Bridge made of butter.) Since the water is clear, it is either plain water or soda water (carbonated water), not soda pop. It could actually be Salt Water since it is connected to the sea.

Though never named as such, what could possibly be Soda Lake appeared in the episodes "[[King Scoopa Koopa]]" and "[[Mama Luigi]]" of the [[Super Mario World (TV series)|''Super Mario World'']] animated series.

The player can avoid most Blurps and Torpedo Teds by [[swim]]ming at the very bottom of the screen for nearly the entire level. The obstacles are penetrable at the bottom of the screen, though the player must be mindful not to sink too far below the viewable area of the screen.

Soda Lake is a secret underwater area reached by entering the secret Giant Gate of the Cheese Bridge Area in Super Mario World. This level is located in the Twin Bridges area. Torpedo Teds, underwater Bullet Bill relatives, are exclusive to this level, where they are dropped from torpedo tubes. They can travel through walls and are always deployed in Mario's (or Luigi's) direction. When Mario clears the area, he unlocks the third Star Road. To access this level, the player must enter the Cheese Bridge Area and use a Cape Feather or Yoshi to make their way under the first Giant Gate to reach an alternate Giant Gate, making it possible to access Soda Lake.

Layout[edit]

At the start, the player descends from a gray pipe. They first encounter a Blurp, and a torpedo tube appears. Proceeding past the enemies, the player encounters another three Blurps near a Prize Block, which contains either a Super Mushroom or a Fire Flower. Past this Prize Block are two torpedo tubes and a line of Blurps passing through the bottom of the screen. The first Dragon Coin is situated between two torpedo tubes.

Up ahead, four Blurps travel from a row of descending torpedo tubes. Along with many regular coins, the second Dragon Coin sits near the middle torpedo tube. The next open area has a lone pillar and more pockets of Blurps, containing either five or six of them. A nearby chasm contains the third Dragon Coin, where four torpedo tubes are situated near it along with three more Blurps. The fourth Dragon Coin is in plain sight right in front of another torpedo tube.

Beyond said torpedo tube, there is another one higher up, with two Blurps coming towards the player. This second torpedo tube becomes the first of three in a row, all surrounding the final Dragon Coin. A column of four Blurps blocks passageway until they pass by. Three more Blurps travel past as the player arrives at a passage where Torpedo Teds spawn above the player. The pipe at the end takes the player to the Giant Gate to complete the level.

The player can avoid most Blurps and Torpedo Teds by swimming at the very bottom of the screen for nearly the entire level. The obstacles are penetrable at the bottom of the screen, though the player must be mindful not to sink too far below the viewable area of the screen.
