World 5-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)

Template:Levelbox World 5-3 is the third level of World 5 in Super Mario Bros. 2.

Layout

This level has a hidden warp to World 7 that can be reached with any of the playable characters. Near the start of the level, right after climbing up the ladder, there will be a platform on top. Luigi can Super Jump up on top of it and find the magic potion. After entering dream world, the player needs to enter the vase and will be warped to World 7. If played as a different character (Mario, Toad, and Princess Peach), they can jump on top of an Albatoss and fly to the platform.

Throughout the level, Albatosses continuously drop bombs; once the player reaches the underground cavern, various walls must be destroyed, and there are a few Pansers and Ostros. Unlike the other worlds in the game, the player does not enter a castle, but the player encounters a room containing Sparks, Bob-ombs and walking Pansers. Since the level lacks a locked door, the key is absent. Once outside again, the player must ride a Pidgit to cross a large gap. After the four pink Shy Guys, the player fights and defeats a Red Birdo and then encounters a boss, Clawgrip.

Trivia

• The Albatosses move much faster in this level than the other levels they appear in.
