Acorn Plains Way

Acorn Plains Way, or Acorn Plains-1, is the first course of Acorn Plains, and subsequently, the first course of New Super Mario Bros. U. It is unlocked from the beginning of the game, and its completion unlocks Tilted Tunnel. This is also the location of the first Nabbit chase, triggered upon completion of Stone-Eye Zone.

Layout
The course is a grassland level, filled with pipes, Piranha Plants, blue platforms that move up and down, and has many secrets that can be found by moving vertically with power-ups such as the Flying Squirrel Suit or Balloon Baby Yoshi. There are two sub-levels, one that takes place in a bonus room in the sky, another underground, and both of those sub-levels contain Star Coins. The Acorn Tree and Princess Peach's Castle can be seen in the background.

Star Coins

 * Star Coin 1: Right after the second set of ? Blocks, suspended in mid-air.
 * Star Coin 2: In the green pipe directly after the first Star Coin.
 * Star Coin 3: In a pipe, near the end of the course, at the top of the course. The player must use Peachette (New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe only) or the Flying Squirrel Suit to reach it.

Enemies

 * Goombas
 * Koopa Troopas
 * Waddlewings
 * Piranha Plants
