'''Sky Land'''<ref>''Super Mario Bros. 3'' English instruction booklet, page 32.</ref><ref>''Super Mario Bros. 3'' North American re-release and European ending.</ref> (alternatively '''The Sky''',<ref>''Super Mario Bros. 3'' North American original, ''Super Mario All-Stars'' and ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' International ending.</ref> '''Cloud Castle''',<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 11, page 15.</ref> or '''Sky World'''<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13, pages 3 & 42-52.</ref>) is the fifth [[world]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Sky Land has nine [[level]]s, three [[Hammer Bro]]thers, two [[fortress]]es, three [[Toad House]]s, three [[Spade Panel]]s, a special [[tower]] level, and a [[castle]] that has been taken over by an [[airship]]. There are two parts to the world, "The Ground" and "The Sky," connected by the tower level. The first three levels, the first fortress, the first Toad House, one Spade Panel, and two of the Hammer Brothers are on the ground, while everything else is in the sky. The world's airship can move between the two.

The [[kings|king of Sky Land]] is an older man, wearing a crown, and with long white hair, and a long white beard. During the events of the game, the [[Koopalings|Koopaling]] [[Roy Koopa]] turns him into a bird; the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] versions of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' see him get turned into an [[Albatoss]].  

The ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' map shows that the ground area of Sky Land was located to the east of [[Giant Land]] and south of [[Dark Land]]. The ground map on the NES and SNES versions has a different layout when seen on the map on "The Sky"; the hills are arranged differently, the lake appears to be missing, the tower is southwest of where it normally is, and an additional path is shown at the northwest of it. This was fixed in the GBA version. The map icon for the fortress in the sky portion is also colored blue, which occurs only in this world.

|The first level is a large hill made up of stone blocks, water pools, and [[Chain Chomp]]s.

|An underground sewer that starts off with the player falling, then moves on to uneven terrain.

|The first [[fortress]] level of Sky Land has narrow passageways guarded by [[Thwomp]]s and [[Roto-Disc]]s.

|A stage with Lakitu attacking the player as they jump across small platforms.

|A diagonal autoscrolling stage with moving platforms and [[Flame Chomp|Fire Chomp]]s.

|[[Roy Koopa]]'s [[Airship]] with many [[cannon]] types.

|rowspan=2|Two sets of Hammer Brothers will move around the land portion of the map, with one set of Hammer Brothers moving around in the sky. The arenas are similar between them, with two rows of seven [[Brick Block|brick]]s, though the area they are fought in differs by location. One of the Hammer Brother pairs on land will reward the player with a [[P-Wing]] upon being defeated, while the other will drop a [[Super Star|Starman]].  The Hammer Brothers in the sky will leave behind a [[Music Box]]. If the player meets the prerequisites for the [[Treasure Ship]], a Hammer Brother will turn into the ship.

'''[[Reign Storm]]''': One of the problems that [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] face while trying to run the Mushroom Kingdom during [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]'s absence is that the stairway to Sky Land is floating off and dropping people in the garbage dump.

'''[[A Toadally Magical Adventure]]''': The first episode where this world is shown as the title card. While unstated, the [[Ace Magic Wand Factory]] seems to be based in Sky Land. Bowser and several Koopalings have their sights set on obtaining a special wand that is being delivered to the [[Wizard King of the West]]; having spotted the Koopas, the Wizard King of the West alerts the Mario Bros. and requests for them to prevent the wand from being stolen.

'''[[Up, Up, and a Koopa]]''': The second episode where this world is shown as the title card. After abducting Emperor Ed, Bowser uses [[Ludwig von Koopa|Kooky]]'s new [[Kooper-Dooper Raiser-Upper]] from onboard the [[Airship#The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3|Doom Ship]] to levitate everything in the Mushroom Kingdom up to Sky Land (sometimes called "Sky World" in this episode) in an attempt to force [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] into surrendering her kingdom. However, Bowser overloads the Raiser-Upper causing everything that was being levitated to fall back down to the Mushroom Kingdom. In the process, Emeperor Ed falls out of the Doom Ship and lands on [[Toad]]. He alerts Princess Toadstool as to what's going on, so Mario and Luigi obtain [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon Power]] to bring Emperor Ed back to Sky Land and fly to the Doom Ship. However, they get caught, prompting Princess Toadstool and Toad to fly up to Sky Land using [[P-Wing]]s. Bowser then decides to take over Sky Land as well by tormenting its people with the Raiser Upper. However, Princess Toadstool and Toad make it to the Doom Ship, where they rescue Mario and Luigi. The group steals the Raiser Upper and use it to not only restore Sky Land and the Mushroom Kingdom back to normal, but to levitate the Doom Ship back to [[Dark Land]].
