World 2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)

World 2 is a desert-themed world serving as the second world of New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
It consists of six levels, a Tower, a Castle, a Warp Cannon, and Roy Koopa for a boss. One area on the overworld consists of a few spots in which quicksand appears at random whenever Mario and other playable characters move on the world map. If they land where the quicksand is, the characters are forced into an Enemy Course where they have to fight Spinies. There are three Toad Houses: a red one, which becomes available upon completing 2-1/2-2; a green one, which becomes available upon completing 2-Tower; and a golden one left of the Enemy Course area.
Various levels consist of Sand Spouts, a stream of sand that emerges from below, capable of taking Mario and other playable characters into the air. There is also Quicksand, in which Mario and other characters gradually sink, and they have to try and jump out to avoid sinking into the quicksand.
