Unlike most examples of this trope, the anti-gravity actually does play a crucial plot-point: Robotnik's end-goal is to destroy the northern pole, which anchors the Land of the Sky to the Land of Darkness, whereupon the continents' anti-gravity properties will see them be hurled into space, killing everyone. This "inner world", called the Land of Darkness, is completely uninhabited except for Robotnik and his Mecha-Mooks, so from the perspective of the inhabiants of the Land of the Sky, they live in this.

Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie: Planet Freedom consists of a series of floating continents above an otherwise normal planet.There is downward gravity: people can fall off airships into unknown depths. Universities send explorers and cloud biologists on expeditions into "uncharted air".

Airmen in steam-driven iron dirigibles trawl the aerial trading routes between city-states.

The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello is set in a gothic- Steampunk world of floating islands and floating Victorian-style cities wreathed in smoke and criss-crossed by bridges.

Dragon Hunters (" Chasseurs de dragons"), the full-lenght CGI prequel to the 2D animated series of the same name shows this kind of setting in all its beauty and picturesqueness.

This can sometimes be a post-apocalyptic Earth. See also Ocean Punk, for an actual ocean. See also The Sky Is an Ocean, which is almost always used in worlds like these. Flying Seafood Specials and Living Gasbags will also be common sights in the skies of these worlds.Ĭompare Shattered World, for broken worlds IN SPACE!, and Floating Continent, which usually exists in a more normal world with people also living on the surface below. Travel is often by Cool Airship and Those Magnificent Flying Machines. Don't bother asking how all that water is renewed or how it can fall off in such quantities without running out. Waterfalls endlessly pouring into the void are a popular visual touch. In these cases, the World in the Sky may have been created or settled specifically to escape whatever made the original surface unsuitable for life. Sometimes, a World in the Sky may be placed above a more conventional world which, for whichever reason, is largely or entirely uninhabitable. In the case of gas giants, the question of the unseen surface world is answered by there not being one to begin with, just layers of increasingly toxic and pressurized gases.

In these situations, mysteriously floating chunks of rock aren't generally an option and settlements chiefly consist of artificially built floating cities, usually held aloft by or outright built in giant balloons. In science fiction settings, this is often seen in the form of gas giants and of Venus-like worlds with thick atmospheres and unlivable surfaces. Do not expect the outcome of falling off the side of one of these pieces to be properly explored. What keeps them hovering? Where does the gravity come from? What's keeping the atmosphere in place? What, if anything, is there at the "bottom" of these worlds? Nobody knows, but maybe A Wizard Did It, or it may be Another Dimension or an Elemental Plane where things don't work quite by the rules of regular physics. Impossible note or nearly impossible - see The Integral Trees under physics resembling ours, worlds of this type are usually found exclusively in fantasy. The smallest islands are typically just chunks of rock with some trees or the occasional house on them the largest can be worlds in miniature, with forests, cities, and internal seas. They can range in size from tiny "islands" to huge continents with vast civilizations. Landmasses float suspended in an atmosphere. This is less a World Shape, and more a series of world pieces.
