'''World 8''' is the final world of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] travel to this world after defeating [[Monty Tank]] or [[Lakithunder]], or using the cannon in World 5. This world is divided into two parts: a "dark forest" area, and a "lava" area (which cannot be seen until the player beats the first castle, even on the map on the touch screen); both having their separate [[tower]]s and [[castle]]s. The bosses of this world are [[Bowser Jr.]] (fought twice alone), [[Dry Bowser]], and a resurrected [[Bowser]] fighting alongside Bowser Jr., making up a total of four boss battles, the most of any world in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series. The first half of the world has a "spooky" theme; featuring [[Splunkin]]s, [[Scuttlebug]]s and [[Crowber]]s, and featuring the same music as the [[Ghost House]] levels. Notably, this is the only world to have [[Boo]]s in a non-Ghost House level. The second half introduces rising lava and unique enemies such as [[Sledge Bro]]s., [[Fire Bro]]s., [[Kab-omb]]s, and [[Volcanic debris]]. World 8 has no secret exits or unlockable courses, unlike the others. One of each type of [[Toad House]] can be found in the forest area, but none can be found in the lava area.


'''World 8''' is the final world of ''[[New Super Mario Bros]]''. [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] traveled to this world in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' after defeating [[Monty Tank]] and/or [[Lakithunder]], or using the W8 cannon in World 5. The boss of this world is [[Dry Bowser]]. He acts like regular Bowser, but he also throws bones. This makes it hard to jump over him. There is also a very simple way to defeat him, as Super/Fire/etc. [[Mario]] can simply run through him and trigger the Skull Switch.  Then, after Mario or Luigi defeat him, a new bridge appears outside, and they head into a volcano.
A racecourse called [[Wii Grumble Volcano|Grumble Volcano]] which has a similar theme to this world is featured in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', and returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.


After traversing through four more levels, they reach the second tower, filled with serpentine platforms.  Finally, they reach [[Bowser's Castle]], separated by other castles by its size and green color. At the boss fight, there is a brief animation of Bowser Jr. laughing, then putting [[Dry Bowser]]'s remains into a cauldron (which resembles a cross between a scarecrow and a clown car). A larger-than-life Bowser exits. [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] turn around and look at Mario, and start the final boss fight (an unfair 2 vs 1 battle). After that, Peach is freed and gives him a kiss, and the credits begin to roll.

The first level in World 8 takes place on a barren wasteland, filled with [[Crowber]]s, and also has [[Bullet Bill]]s, [[Banzai Bill]]s, [[Boo]]s and [[Splunkin]]s. The first star coin is accessed by putting a spring on top of two blocks quite near the start. Mario will bounce up to the coin and drop down near the blocks. The next star coin is after the midway point, near a [[Boo]]. Mario has to jump on top of on top a [[Bullet Bill]] to reach the coin. The final coin is very close to the second, and directly underneath the path of a [[Banzai Bill]]. Mario must wait for the Banzai Bill to go over him, then jump down and get the coin.

The next level is an underground level, with ? Switches that causes water to rise inside. The only enemies in this level are [[Skeeter]]s. There is also a pipe which can be gone down if Mario is in his mini form. After one area, Mario goes to an area with many sinking barrels and [[Skeeter]]s inbetween them. After getting past the barrel area, Mario can either go down the mini pipe or a normal one. The normal pipe leads to an area filled with [[Brick Block]]s, which he can ground pound to get the first coin.

This is an underwater level with many [[Unagi]]s on a vertical stretch of the level near the start, before a horizontal area with a [[Mega Unagi]] which chases [[Mario]]/[[Luigi]] through the area. All of the [[Star Coin]]s are in the horizontal area. Interestingly, probably because the level isn't at all peaceful, the underground music plays instead of the underwater theme. The level's background also looks like the underground background.

After going on some moving platforms, there is the second [[Star Coin]], then an invincibility star. Mini Mario can access the third [[Star Coin]], by going into a tiny pipe, with [[Micro Goomba]]s in it. Also, there are several invincibility stars, helping [[Mini Mario]] to perform the jumps required to get the coin and get out. Then there is the flagpole

After this Battle [[Bowser Jr.]] will run off with [[Princess Peach]] and a bridge will appear on the lava, leading to the second half of the World and he'll run off to another Tower.

The final level of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', being [[Bowser's Castle]]. The Mario Bros, once inside, will encounter a massive amount of traps, including [[Rocket Engine]]s and [[Thwomp]]s. The level is the longest in the game, and some parts of it require pressing one of the many [[? Switch]]es to be found. These switches will flip the gravity of the castle upside down, and any enemy along with it. This action is required for getting to certain doors.

The second part of the castle is a long looping room, similar to the looping castles of [[World 4 (SMB)#World 4-4|4-4]] and [[World 7 (SMB)#World 7-4|7-4]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', which can be passed by walking on the right platforms, which players can tell because there is a buzzer noise if he/she passes along the wrong platform. After that is the boss door.

Once inside the room, the player will encounter [[Bowser Jr.]] on a long bridge over a deep pit. He will toss his [[Bowser|father's]] bones into the cauldron, thus reviving him, much to [[Princess Peach|Peach's]] horror.

The duo will then fight Mario together, with Bowser Jr. using his usual shell-tossing tactic, and his father breathing flames behind him. After the player defeats Bowser Jr., his father will increase his attacks greatly. Mario must then run under one of Bowser's giant jumps and hit the [[Skull Switch]] at the end of the bridge, ending the fight and winning the game. Another way to win is if the player has a [[Mega Mushroom]] as a stored item, jump on Bowser, then make Bowser Jr. fall after hitting the Skull Switch.  The player can also hit the Skull Switch without defeating Bowser Jr., causing both him and Bowser to plummet.

<< << List of worlds >>

World 8 is the final world of New Super Mario Bros. Mario and Luigi travel to this world after defeating Monty Tank or Lakithunder, or using the cannon in World 5. This world is divided into two parts: a "dark forest" area, and a "lava" area (which cannot be seen until the player beats the first castle, even on the map on the touch screen); both having their separate towers and castles. The bosses of this world are Bowser Jr. (fought twice alone), Dry Bowser, and a resurrected Bowser fighting alongside Bowser Jr., making up a total of four boss battles, the most of any world in the New Super Mario Bros. series. The first half of the world has a "spooky" theme; featuring Splunkins, Scuttlebugs and Crowbers, and featuring the same music as the Ghost House levels. Notably, this is the only world to have Boos in a non-Ghost House level. The second half introduces rising lava and unique enemies such as Sledge Bros., Fire Bros., Kab-ombs, and Volcanic debris. World 8 has no secret exits or unlockable courses, unlike the others. One of each type of Toad House can be found in the forest area, but none can be found in the lava area.

A racecourse called Grumble Volcano which has a similar theme to this world is featured in Mario Kart Wii, and returns in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
