'''Meteor Moat''', or '''Peach's Castle-1''', is the first course of [[Peach's Castle (world)|Peach's Castle]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. It is unlocked via completion of [[Boarding the Airship]] and its own completion unlocks [[Magma-River Cruise]], while the secret exit unlocks [[Firefall Cliffs]].

==Layout==
Throughout the level, [[Bowser's Flame]]s rain down from the sky, which function similarly to the [[volcanic debris]] from [[World 8-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-1]] of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. The level begins underneath a platform, along with a [[? Block]] containing a power-up. The player can jump onto a ledge and go left to find a [[Hidden Block]] containing a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. There is a large section of ground that moves up, down, left, and right, along with multiple [[Brick Block]] structures and [[Koopa Troopa]]s. More moving block structures and sections of the ground are found, with some becoming submerged in [[lava]] briefly. The [[Checkpoint Flag]] can then be found on a stationary part of the ground. [[Lava Geyser]]s are found, along with more moving platforms, with a [[Bony Beetle]] on one of them. A stationary platform with Bony Beetles on it is found. A long section of moving ground with Bony Beetles on it is found, and it occasionally becomes submerged in the lava. The [[Goal Pole]] is found at the end of the area.

|In plain sight, the first Star Coin is under a few [[Brick Block]]s and over a portion of ground that sinks into the lava.

|The player must use [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] or Bowser's Flames to break Brick Blocks blocking the second Star Coin.

|After the [[P Switch]], the third Star Coin is inside a pit directly over lava. The player can freeze a Bony Beetle and throw it at the Star Coin, though they can also obtain it with a well-timed [[Wall Jump]].

==Secret exit==
[[File:NSMBU 8-1 Secret Exit.jpg|thumb|right|Mario entering the Warp Pipe leading to the secret exit]]
The player needs to hit the P Switch before the third Star Coin and dash across the [[Coin]]s-turned-Brick Blocks to reach a Warp Pipe in the air, which leads to the [[Goal Pole (secret)|secret Goal Pole]] to [[Firefall Cliffs]].

It is also possible to reach said pipe with unorthodox solutions:
* Two players can reach it by bouncing on each other's heads if one of them has a [[Super Acorn]]; the player with the Acorn must be on top to use the air-boost to reach the pipe.
* Three players can reach it by bouncing on each other's heads with no power-up requirement.
* A [[P-Acorn]] will allow its user to air-boost infinitely and consequently reach the pipe.
* [[Peachette]]'s superior air boost enables her to reach the pipe on her own with a running start.
