World 8 (New Super Mario Bros.)

World 8 is the eighth and final world in the game New Super Mario Bros.. It is unlocked by completing either World 6-Castle or World 7-Castle, or by taking the cannon level unlocked by finding the secret exit in World 5-Ghost House.
== Description ==
This world is spilt into two halves. The first half is a dark forest with mountain cliffs, combining elements from World 4 and World 6's jungle and mountain levels respectively, and features enemies like Boos, Splunkins and Crowbers, and has a few underwater caves levels. There are a total of six levels, four normal levels, a Tower and a Castle level on the first half. There is also one of each type of Toad House, a Mega Mushroom Toad House, a red Toad House, and a 1-Up Toad House. 
The second half takes places on a erupting volcano and features four more normal levels, a second Tower, and finally, Bowser's Castle. This world has the most total levels in the game, for a total of twelve levels. Like World 6, there are no secret exits here and has two towers, but World 8 is also the only world without any unlockable courses. The bosses fought here are Bowser Jr., who is fought twice alone, Dry Bowser, and a reincarnated Bowser who fights with his son, Bowser Jr., just as they were the final bosses in Super Mario Sunshine.

== Trivia ==
*After unlocking the second part, additional drums and a double-reeded flute are added to the background music on the world map.
*In Mario Kart Wii, the racecourse Grumble Volcano from the Star Cup debuting from the game shares a similar theme to this world, in terms of the volcanic/lava theme and dead purple trees.
*Both themes of this world, the "dark purple forest with cliffs" and the "volcanic/lava" themes are used in World 6 of New Super Mario Bros. 2. Additionally, they also both have Toad House.
