Template:Levelbox Flight of the Para-Beetles, or Soda Jungle-File:Parabeetle Sprite.png, is the secret course of Soda Jungle in New Super Mario Bros. U. It is unlocked via secret exit in Which-Way Labyrinth and its own completion skips Rock-Candy Mines and unlocks Land of the Flying Blocks.

Layout

The course takes place in the sky, and besides the occasional sky bridge and Blocks, the only platforms are Para-Beetles and Heavy Para-Beetles. King Bills make their only appearance halfway through the course to attack the player. If the player lands on 7 different Para-Beetles or Heavy Para-Beetles in a row without landing on anything else, they are granted a 1-Up Mushroom.

Star Coins

• Star Coin 1: In mid-air, after a series of Para-Beetles.
• Star Coin 2: Same as the first Star Coin.
• Star Coin 3: The red Warp Pipe at the end of the first section leads to an alternate pathway where the third Star Coin resides. The player must use a nearby Para-Beetle as a platform in order to enter the pipe.

Enemies

• Para-Beetles
• Heavy Para-Beetles
• King Bills

Trivia

• The name of this level is likely a reference to an orchestral interlude, Flight of the Bumblebee.
