Hua-Nam is World 5 in Super Mario Adventure. It is predominantly based on China and Japan, but certain areas are influenced by Indian, Thai, Vietnamese and Filapino customs and landscapes. Notable locations include a bustling market village, a dragon shrine embedded into the Hualin Mountain, a gleaming beach with houses partially floating on the waters and a swaying pagoda. The portal that links to the other worlds can be found in a shrine deep within an archipelago not far from the Hua-Nam shore.
