World 6-1 (Chapter 6-1 in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic; titled Go to the World of Deserts Again) is the first level of World 6 in Super Mario Bros. 2.

Layout

This level starts like any level from World 2 does: as the player explores the desert, numerous enemies and obstacles must be beaten, such as quicksand and swarms of Cobrats and Pokeys. The player then enters a fort, where 21 jars are found. The fifth-to-last one has the key that is necessary to open the door showing Green Birdo's whereabouts. Another jar leads to a 1-Up Mushroom.

	Mushroom	2	Only appear in Sub-space. The first one is to the left of the third ribcage in the first section. It falls into quicksand, so the player must grab it quickly before it disappears. The second one is on top of the sand block structure that forms the entrance to the second section.
	1 UP mushroom	1	Hidden under grass at the bottom of either the third, seventh, or tenth jar from the left in the second section. Picking it up once will prevent any others from appearing.

• Despite the Nintendo Power level title suggesting a direct revisit of the setting from World 2, it is also stated that "World 6-1 looks a lot like the World of Deserts in World 2".
