Revision as of 08:18, January 27, 2012
It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information.
This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.
Template:Worldbox Special 8 is the eight and final extra world that appears in Super Mario 3D Land. It features 7 levels and the Toad House. Except Special 8-Crown, all levels in Special 8 must be unlocked by collecting 10 Star Medals each level. Unlike other Special Worlds which feature remixes of their original respective worlds, the new music (based on the "Mario Drawing Song" in Flipnote Studio) is played. When Special 8-Crown is unlocked, that music is remixed. It takes place in a light-yellow plain with Blocks, Coins, & Warp Pipes in the background.

A Warp Box then takes Mario to an area with three more colored blocks, a smaller wooden block, and another colored block followed by scattered Used Blocks. After crossing two bridges of Used Blocks, Mario then lands on a large block platform with a Blokkablok. More scattered Used Blocks takes Mario to a Warp Pipe leading to a battle with Boom Boom and Pom Pom. Boom Boom, when using his spin attack, leaves a stream of fire behind him, and Pom Pom throws more boomerangs. After defeating them, Mario warps to an area with a Switchboard and Fuzzies.
