3. 6-1

I struggled with how to rank these top levels, and this one is no exception. 6-1 is another Lakitu level, of course, and it's a slight tradeoff with 4-1 - it's a bit later in the order, so you can't rush Lakitu as quickly, but it makes up for it imo in just being a way more fun and unique level. 4-1 is relatively simple and flat but this one has cascading staircases everywhere and a bunch of walled-off areas where enemies can accumulate - the terrain here just makes this level really fun. It's a highly novel stage that I very rarely see despite being one of the three levels with Lakitu in it, and it's one that I'm always thrilled to pick. Any level with Lakitu in it is key to maximizing having a wild time in this game.
