If there is no landmass under these continents, then it's [[World in the Sky]]. Also see [[Castle in the Sky]], which is when the continent is a castle in question. In some works, there may be heavy overlap between the two. [[Ominous Floating Castle]] is its own trope. ~~[[Ominous Floating Castle]] is its own trope.~~ {{examples}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * In ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'', there are floating islands ... [[Captain Obvious\|floating]] in the atmosphere of the [[Terraform\|terraformed Venus]]. * The eponymous ''[[Laputa: Castle in the Sky]]'', released simply as ''~~[[Laputa:~~ Castle in the Sky]]'' in some markets (Especially because in Spanish, "la puta" means "the whore". In Spain, e.g., "Laputa" was changed to "Lapuntu", in the US and Mexico "Laputa" was simply ommitted). Laputa is a long abandoned [[Castle in the Sky\|castle]] floating in the sky, and getting there is the objective of the first two thirds of the film. The other third takes place ''on'' Laputa. * Edolas from the Anima arc of ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' had an assortment of floating islands, including the one carrying the Eksheeds' homeland of Exteria, and another that the King used to store the Magnolia [[Power Crystal\|La'cryma]]. * Most of the ''[[.hack\|.hack//]]'' series of animes and games have floating rocks, islands and the like. Makes sense, seeing most of the animes and all of the games are set in a fictional MMORPG called "The World".
