We're starting the second half of the game now! World 5 actually has a sky theme, even though it doesn't look like it at first. We start out in another grassy area, and one with some rather interesting stages. 5-1 is basically a big pile of blue blocks, Chain Chomps, and Nippers, while 5-2 is an underground level with two paths (neither of which, by the way, is remotely challenging). The really interesting one is 5-3, which as probably lots of Mario players will tell you is the one with Kuribo's Shoe. There are Goombas wearing a sort of green boot that appear in this stage and nowhere else, and if you hit them from below, you can actually take and use the boot. It's a simple powerup, but one I wish had been brought back in future games (and no, the Super Boot in Paper Mario: Sticker Star and ice skate in Super Mario 3D World don't count). The first fortress is pretty much the same concept as 5-1, only in a fortress instead of a grassland. Then there is the level that...I honestly don't really know what to call. I've always known it as "Swirly Castle", since it is a tower in the shape of a spiral. It is basically a fortress that is very vertically-oriented and does not have a boss, just a pipe that takes you up into the sky, where you will find the second (and main) section of World 5.
