Next are two lifts moving in opposite vertical directions with Fire-Bars on both sides, followed by some gaps and Podoboos before coming to the fake Bowser, which breathes fire as the player is jumping across the gaps. After the lava are two paths lined with Fire-Bars, with the bottom path having more than the top path. Above the center platform is the only ? Block in the level, containing a power-up, and the platform also has a long Fire-Bar that can reach the other surrounding platforms.

The player starts at the top of some stairs that lead to a pit of lava with Podoboos jumping out and platforms placed above it.

World 5-4 is similar in layout to World 2-4, but with additional Fire-Bars and Podoboos.
