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 a simple grassland course with shifting platforms and Waddlewings and it introduces the Super Acorn. It is also the first stage in Easy Pack and the course in its entirety is used for the Time Attack Challenge, Acorn Plains Speed Run.

The Acorn Tree and Peach's Castle can be seen in the background.

Layout
The course is a grassland level, filled with pipes, Piranha Plants, and 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, and another underground, and both of those sub-levels contain Star Coins.

Star Coins

 * Star Coin 1: Right after the second set of Question 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 the Flying Squirrel Suit to reach it.

Enemies

 * Goombas
 * Koopa Troopas
