The sixth world is the desert land, the same as World 2.

[edit] World 6-1

• Cobrat and Pokey are back from World 2. Two pink Shy Guys are on the bone-log platforms by the quicksand. In the cave are 21 pipes. The seventeeth pipe has a key to the locked room. The boss is Green Birdo.

[edit] World 6-2

• This level takes place at night. Albatoss birds and Beezos return and fly past the holes and the Green Panser. The boss is Green Birdo.

[edit] World 6-3

• The outside level has Shy Guys, Cobrat, and Pokey. In the desert cave, Bob-ombs and Ninji return. The outside elevator level has Hoopsters, one red Shy Guy, and one green Snifit. Between the clouds after the vine is the pyramid from Worlds 2-1 and 2-3. The boss is Red Birdo, and the boss of the desert world again is Tryclyde, who appeared on World 2.
