'''First Course''', also known as '''Course 1''',<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo of America|date=Nov 27, 2012|title=Nintendo Direct Mini - November 27, 2012|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4NamsZ5nfM|timestamp="3:51"|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=Feb 17, 2026}}</ref> is the first level of the [[Gold Classics Pack]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', as well as the sixteenth DLC level in the game.

==Layout==
This course is heavily based on stages from ''Super Mario Bros.'' The main part of the level is a recreation of [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-1]], and the pipe that originally lead to the original level's bonus room now takes [[Mario]] to a replica of [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-2]]. Also, the [[Warp Zone]] area found in the latter takes Mario to various bonus rooms from that game. A secret hole in the Warp Zone leads the player to a ''Super Mario Bros.'' Mario sprite made of [[Red Block]]s, [[Empty Block]]s and [[Hard Block|Wooden Blocks]].

|Found just before the elevating platforms in the World 1-2 area. It disappears upon Mario approaching it, so a Koopa shell must be thrown at it to obtain it.
