'''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 ''[[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"; there are more turns in the path in the actual game, and it shows a path [[Mario]] cannot take going north from the Tower. 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.
