The Birabuto Kingdom,[1] or World 1, is a kingdom in Sarasaland and the first world in Super Mario Land. The land is a large desert based on ancient Egypt, with pyramids and palm trees dotting the landscape. King Totomesu is the boss of the world. In the American Super Mario Land commercial, the Birabuto Kingdom's misleading caption was "challenge the mysteries and terrors of ancient Egypt".[2]

Naming[edit]
The Japanese name of the Birabuto Kingdom,「ピラプト王国」(Piraputo Ōkoku, "Pyrapt Kingdom"), is derived from a portmanteau of「ピラミッド」(piramiddo, "pyramid") and「エジプト」(Ejiputo, "Egypt"). The English localizes this name as "Birabuto Kingdom", with "Birabuto" being derived from a transcription error of the Japanese name, specifically confusing the two diacritic signs used in Japanese (i.e. confusing the handakuten signs (゜) for dakuten (゛) on the two kanas originally making the "p" sounds). A similar mistake is made with Batadon.
