History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

New Super Mario Bros. U /New Super Luigi U /New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

Soda Jungle is the jungle-themed fifth world ofNew Super Mario Bros. U,New Super Luigi U, and theirreissues appearing inNew Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. Soda Jungle is the largest world in the game, both physically and in terms of courses. It is similar toGiant Land fromSuper Mario Bros. 3,Forest of Illusion fromSuper Mario World, andWorld 4 fromNew Super Mario Bros. in terms of appearance, layout, and theme, as the jungle is giant-themed within both the world map and the normal levels and features big enemies or big variations of small enemies, likeBig Goombas andBig Koopa Troopas. The dead trees in the center of the jungle leads to a haunted area, containing a few extra courses, includingBooEnemy Courses. This also makes this world the only world inNew Super Mario Bros. U with more than one section. When the player enters the area, the area pixelates before loading again, similar to the transition screen inSuper Mario World. The name is derived fromsoda as a reference to thepoison in the world. There are 12 levels in this world, with the firstAirship level appearing before entering the section, five normal levels in the outer areas, two that are in the haunted area along with the secondGhost House and the Boo Enemy Courses, a secret level, theTower level, and theCastle level. ThreeToad Houses can be found here as well, one green and two red. The bosses of this world areBowser Jr., a largerBoom Boom, andIggy Koopa.

There are several ways to enter this world. CompletingSparkling Waters orFrosted Glacier normally will bring the player toThe Mighty Cannonship (All Aboard! inNew Super Luigi U), the first airship in the game. FinishingAcorn Plains andLayer-Cake Desert's secret levels will immediately take the player to Soda Jungle. However, if the player manages to complete Sparkling Waters or Frosted Glacier's secret levels, they will both lead toFuzzy Clifftop,Rock-Candy Mines' first level, bypassing Soda Jungle. Thus, every world before Soda Jungle leads to the latter by completing the previous world's castle. Soda Jungle also leads to every world afterward besidesPeach's Castle andSuperstar Road.

In the haunted area in Soda Jungle, the player must take asecret exit in eitherPainted Swampland orDeepsea Ruins (Painted Pipeworks orDeepsea Stone-Eyes for Luigi inNew Super Luigi U) in order to create a pathway that will allow the player to leave the haunted area and proceed through the world, in a manner similar to the Forest of Illusion inSuper Mario World andWorld 7 inNew Super Mario Bros.; taking the normal paths otherwise in either stage will bring him back to the pathway in front ofWhich-Way Labyrinth (Boo's Favorite Haunt inNew Super Luigi U).
