Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels levels

World B-4 is the fourth and final level of World B in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels and the twelfth secret level overall in said game, taking place in a castle.

Layout[edit]

The player starts at the top of some stairs that end at a pit of lava with small platforms and pillars. After a pipe with a Piranha Plant, there are two Fire Bars over a pit of lava and a Brick Block with a power-up in a crevice to the left. In the upcoming narrow passage, the player will have to fall onto a moving lift to pass under a wall (while crouching if needed) and jumping back up once on the other side to continue. Next, the player will have to move through an area with large platforms, with Fire Bars and pipes with Piranha Plants alternating between them. The first three are Warp Pipes that lead back to the beginning of the level, though the fourth is a Warp Pipe that leads to a Warp Zone to World D. After the fourth pipe is lava with a Fire Bar over it before the fake Bowser.

  • Level description :
    • English:
      It seems like this course has Mario caught in a loop... but entering pipes sends him back.
    • Other languages:
      • Japanese:
        同じ地形が続くが、ループではない。土管に入ると戻される。
        (Translation: The terrain is the same, but it's not a loop. Entering a pipe will send you back.)
      • Italian:
        Anche se il fondale non cambia mai, non è un vicolo cieco. Se si entra nei tubi, si torna indietro. (first edition)
        Qui Mario sembra finito in un loop... ma entrando nei tubi si trona indietro. (second edition)
