World 5-1 is the first level of World 5 in Super Mario 3D Land. The level is a desert-based area, which introduces the power-up form of Boomerang Mario.

Layout

This is the first and only canyon level of the game. Mario starts in the canyon, where a Boomerang Flower is found. Ahead, there are three cacti and two Pokeys. These foes are guarding an inclined area that leads to a more elevated place of the cliff, where Mario finds a Boomerang Bro and a pit with four stone Donut Blocks. Crossing this pit, he faces Tail Goombas in a stair-like carved stone. Behind it, there is a P Switch that creates a line of notes when pressed. After the stone, Mario must cross a narrow tilting board. On the other side, there are two Tail Thwomps and Sandmaarghs that guard a Door. It leads to an underground area, where Mario can get the Checkpoint Flag and, soon, go up on a sandy octagon-shaped platform that rises. During this route, he faces a Boomerang Bro, spiked balls, Sandmaarghs and giant spiked balls. When the platform reaches on the top, returning to the outdoors, Mario must pass through four Pokeys until he reaches a cannon, which he can use to aim at a coin ring and grab the top of the Goal Pole.

Star Medals

Image	Location
	Upon entering the level, there are several Pokeys near a ledge with unstable rock platforms above. Hopping on the ledge, the player should head left into a hidden Warp Pipe, which takes the player to the first Star Medal.
	The player should hop onto one of the Tail Thwomps at the top of the cliff to reach the Star Medal.
	While on the moving platform directly after the checkpoint, the player should acquire a Boomerang Flower from the Boomerang Bro that drops from above. After a while, the final Star Medal appears and must be grabbed using the boomerang.

Notes

• The rising platform section of this level is very similar to the Pit Boss minigame from Mario Party 6.
