World 1-1 is the first level of World 1 in Super Mario Bros. 2. It was originally titled Chapter 1-1 in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, and was also titled Ready, Set, Go![1] or Set out on the Great Adventure![2]) Being the first level, it is a simple level that introduces recurring enemies such as Shyguys, Tweeters, and Ninjis. Pink Birdo is fought at the end.

In Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, completing this stage as Mario is a Legend-difficulty challenge titled 1-1 Dream Run.

Layout[edit]

World 1-1 starts with the player character dropping down from a doorway suspended in mid air onto a grassy hill with some Shyguys. At the bottom of the hill, there is another doorway, which leads outside. There is an extra 1-Up disguised as a plant next to a POW on top of a hill. There is a shortcut to Birdo that can be found in the cave area halfway through the level. After climbing up the vine, instead of exiting to the right to the normal exit, the player can jump across the waterfall and use bombs to blow up brick walls. After going through the door on the other side, the character proceeds to the right and Power Squat Jumps over the wall on the right side of the screen, where Birdo is faced.
