World 7-3 is the third level of World 7 in Super Mario Bros. and the twenty-seventh level overall in said game.

In Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, completing this course is the goal of a Master-difficulty challenge titled Cheep Cheep Chase.

Layout

World 7-3's layout is similar to World 2-3's, but with added Koopa Troopas and Koopa Paratroopas that are placed on the various bridges, along with additional Cheep-cheeps. The level is made up of long bridges the player must run and jump across while avoiding an endless array of jumping Cheep-cheeps. If the player is running, the Cheep-cheeps will usually jump up behind the player, though if the player is walking, they will jump from the front and there is a good chance of the player getting hit. The player also needs to jump across some small floating platforms that are placed in the second half of the stage. In the only ? Block near the center of the level is a power-up. If the player reaches the stone steps at the end, the Cheep-cheeps will stop jumping from below.

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe challenges

In Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, the player can collect five Red Coins, find a hidden Yoshi Egg, and get a medal based on their score. The Yoshi Egg is found in a Hidden Block directly above the second support column of the first bridge, and the score to beat is 28000. The Red Coin locations are:

• High above the stone stairs at the start of the level
• High above the center of the third bridge, a new Hidden Block can be found directly underneath
• Red Coins 3 and 4 are located between the floating platforms, with the third Red Coin placed above the first platform and the fourth Red Coin placed low between the second and third platforms
• Placed high above the final grass platform before the stairs to the flagpole
