Level Guide
World 1-1 from Super Mario Bros. starts out on a brick path, apparentally a path that was once a walkway in a town of the Mushroom Kingdom. (See Super Mario Bros. article for story.) It starts with a Goomba walking toward Mario with the memorable first Q-Block and then the six block triangle formation of Question Blocks and regular Blocks, a Mushroom inside the left block. Then a set of Pipes await Mario with Goombas inbetween them. The final pipe among the set leads to a bonus area of coins and is enter-able. There is a gap following with a Question Block containing a Fireflower inside, Goombas coming down from a big row of blocks above, which are best to be walked upon.

Afterward, a block down below contains ten Coins that Mario can achieve by Jumping at the right time repeatedly underneath it. Then there is the notable Question Block triangle formation, which contains no regular blocks. The top block contains a Fireflower or a Mushroom if the player is regular Mario, rather than Super Mario. Upcoming are some Question blocks and Blocks, then a pyramid-like mini-set of unbreakable blocks with a gap in the middle, then after that is another set of unbreakable blocks, this time with a gap in the middle that Mario can fall into and get KOed. Then, there is another pipe that is unenterable, with two Goombas and a set of Question Blocks with coins inside.

After that is the Ending Staircase for the level, and the Flagpole afterward.
