New Super Mario Bros. U features a seamlessly connected World Map similar to the one from Super Mario World. The various "Areas" in the World Map appear to be "Food" themed, such as the Acorn Plains, Layer Cake Desert, and Frosted Glacier. All of the worlds in order are Acorn plains, Layer-cake desert, Frosted Glacier, Sparkling waters, Soda Jungle, Rock-Candy Mines, Merigue Clouds, and Peach's Castle.
