World 1 (New Super Mario Bros.)

World 1 is a place that is found in the game, New Super Mario Bros.. This place was actually around Princess Peach's Castle. The ground had grass and flowers growing on it, since it is a grassland-themed world like World 1 in some other games. This is where Mario and Luigi's adventure started as they go around the levels. This world takes place in the Mushroom Kingdom.

Bowser Jr. was fought here for the first time, and Bowser was the first boss in the game, not counting Bowser Jr. who's a mini-boss. After defeating Bowser, the brothers would go to World 2.

This is the first level in New Super Mario Bros. It is a meadow with flowers all over the place, and Peach's Castle is visible in the background for the first portion of the level. It has basic enemies, such as Goombas and Koopa Troopas.

After finding out where Bowser Jr. is heading, Mario starts out here. The first ? Blocks that Mario encounters have 2 Coins in them, and one that has a power-up. Going on into the level, Brick Blocks appear. The top one contains 14 coins and a Super Mushroom. Underneath that one contains 1 coin, while the rest are simple Brick Blocks. Mario then encounters a Goomba, who he stomps on, being next to a Pipe. The Pipe is not able to go down to, however. Another Goomba appears to stop Mario, but he just easily stomps on it, and jumps over an abyss while collecting coins. A block is struck about 1/3 through the level, and a Mega Mushroom is encountered for the first time, making Mario become the huge Mega Mario, destroying everything in its path. However, if the player chooses not to get the Mega Mushroom, they should keep advancing. The player will now see their first Star Coin. There are some Koopa-Troopas and a Goomba in this area. There is also a hidden vine that leads to the sky. It is located inside a Brick Block where the Red Koopa Troopa is walking. The pipe that's currently visible to the player leads to an underground room with a Star Coin in it, and a power-up. The player will see 3 Brick Blocks with coins in them, but if the player jumps on top of the middle Brick Block, a Star will come out of it. Another ? Block will be here, this time containing a power-up. A set of Brick Blocks will be blocking the second Star Coin, the player has to ground pound it to break it and get the Star Coin. Another ? Block will be here, containing a single coin. A couple of Goomba's and Koopa-Troopa's will appear in this area, along with Brick Blocks and Coins. The player will now see the flag and finish the level. They will now gain access to World 1-2.

Pursuing the chase after Bowser Jr., Mario finds himself in a strange cave. Adventuring on, Mario finds that many Goombas and Koopa Troopas inhabit this cave. He then sees some ? blocks. Hitting it produces Coins. Mario collects them, and moves on to a strange sight - a Star Coin. He jumps onto the ledge, and collects it.He could also Ground Pound on some brick blocks to collect a bunch of coins. He then moves on, encountering more Goombas. Going forward, Mario finds a block of rock that he can't get through - yet he prevails by smashing the brick blocks above it, and getting through. An abyss is then met, Mario easily jumps over it, but then meets a Star Coin surrounded by some brick blocks. Trying to find out how to get in, Mario jumps to the top and Ground Pounds it - the blocks are destroyed, and Mario gets the Star Coin. A Piranha Plant is then met. Mario jumps over it, and goes down the pipe it was guarding. Mario, finding a passageway, collects the Coins, then hits the Koopa Troopa to break some brick blocks, creating a passageway. Mario crawls under the passageway - he then comes across, and finds some Goombas. Running, he then sees a ? block. A Mega Mushroom pops out. Mario collects it, and destroys all the Goombas and brick blocks. He then goes up a pipe nearby. Mario is then in the main cave again, and jumps carefully over some pipes sticking out of an abyss. He then makes it onto the ground, and runs forward. He then meets a tilting log. He runs over it, and continues through the cave. A pipe then greets him, as he appears out of the pipe, and into the sunshine again, and also near the Flagpole. He then finishes the level.

1-4
This level is a grassy meadow, much like World 1-1. The first ? Block (which is on the ground, and not floating, unlike most ?-Blocks) contains a Super Mushroom or Fire Flower. A ?-Block containing a Mini Mushroom is later found in the level. The Mini-Mushroom can be used to travel into a small pipe nearby that lead to the first Star Coin. A wall made up of Brick Blocks and cement blocks are blocking a Pipe. The wall is shaped in such a way that it's possible to throw a Koopa Shell on it, which will break all of the Blocks and will eventually allow the player to enter it. Alternatively, the player could use a Mega Mushroom to break the block Wall, although the Pipe could end up being accidentally broken, but it's also easy to just groung pound them. The pipe leads to a cave that contains a Star Coin that is reached by using a P-Switch that turn every Brick Block into a coin and vice-versa. The third Star Coin is found in a small gap just before the level's Flagpole that is only accessible by Mini Mario, Shell Mario, or Mario without a Super Mushroom.

Infinite 1-Up Trick
This level posses one of the few spots of the game where it is possible to generate an infinite number of Extra Lives. Just after the Block Wall, two pipes can be found nearby, both of which produce an infinite number of Goombas. The trick is to throw a Koopa Shell between the two pipes, and the Shell will hit the Goombas produced by the Pipe and eventually, the Player will gain an Extra Life for every Goomba hit. Since the Pipes never stop producing Goombas and the shell won't disappear until the player goes too far from it, it is possible to collect up to 99 1-Ups.

Star Coins

 * Star Coin 1 - Use the Mini-Mushroom in the ? Block to enter the Mini-Pipe to the left. The coin should be in plain sight.
 * Star Coin 2 - Near a mass of blocks is a pipe blocked by a Brick Block. Break it and find the hidden P-switch to turn the coins into blovcks to make steps for the Star Coin.
 * Star Coin 3 - The third Star Coin is found in a small gap just before the level's Flagpole that is only accessible by Mini Mario, Shell Mario, Mario without a Super Mushroom, or by sliding down the nearby slope.

Enemies

 * Goomba
 * Green Koopa
 * Green Koopa Paratroopa

The level starts out on a basic red mushroom, which leads into many pink-colored bouncy mushrooms. Towards the middle of the row of bouncy mushroom is a Star Coin, surrounded by four normal coins. At the end of the bouncy mushroom row, are two dropping platforms (if stood on for awhile, they both fall down), and right after this, is another Star Coin. Afterwards, there are four dropping platforms and a pipe (which can be entered) above the platforms. Inside the pipe is a moving red mushroom, which will move across rows of regular coins (a Star Coin is located in a mushroom formation in the middle of this row). Afterwards, the player then drops downwards (not far from the location of the pipe). Then come another row of bouncy mushrooms and a Red Coin Ring, and, if the player goes into the ring, he or she must grab the eight red coins while avoiding a Goomba and a Koopa-Troopa. Afterwards, there is another long row of the bouncy mushrooms, with a row of brick blocks with coins on them. At the end of the row is the flagpole, resulting in the level being finished.

Star Coins

 * Star Coin 1 - In plain sight. Use the bouncy mushrooms to get it.
 * Star Coin 2 - Use the dropping platforms to reach the Star Coin on top of a mushroom.
 * Star Coin 3 - By entering the aformentioned pipe, ride the mushroom all the way to where the Star Coin is.

1-A
First, the player has to go down the Warp Pipe, and the player will see an underwater world. Also, a ? Block with a power up can be found. At this point the screen will scroll automatically: that means Mario will be crushed by solid obstacles if he was hit with that at the most left of the screen. Sushis, will appear at both the top and bottom of the screen, two each time. If it is hit by one of Fire Mario's fireballs it will be defeated quickly.

The player can find a P-Switch while swimming along this level. If the player hits it, it will produce Silver Coins between bouncy obstacles. Then, by going high as possible, the player can grab the first Star Coin. From there Mario will go right, entering the pipe leading upwards, appearing near the second Star Coin.

When entering the underwater world again, take up the random Power-up Block while avoiding the Cheep-Cheeps. The player has to dodge the Sushis coming from the left and the can go through a Red Coin Ring to get red coins. The Sushis will now switch back to attacking from the right, but what makes difficult is the current of bubbles from pipes; there's also a silver coin challenge for the player to try.

The player has to swim right as soon as the Star Coin appears above, grabbing the Star Coin, followed by either ducking to avoid the incoming Sushi or swim back out quickly. There's a pipe that leads to the next Star Coin. Going back out the pipe, the player has to swim past the last few Sushis and head up the pipe, going forward to jump onto the flagpole to end the level.

Star Coins

 * Star Coin 1 - On the top of the level it will be guarded by invisible blocks on the bottom, so approach the coin form the left or right side.
 * Star Coin 2 - Right after the first Star Coin is a pipe. Take it and the bro will be transported above ground where the second coin resides.
 * Star Coin 3 - Mario or Luigi will have to maneuver themselves around a stone structure to the right opening to obtain the final coin.

1-Castle
This level is the castle of the first world. It is the location of the game's first major boss fight.

The majority of the level consists of walking on tightropes over lava. Along the way, Mario encounters Podoboos and Dry Bones. There are also several platforms that move up and down, some of which sink into the lava. Eventually, Mario comes to safe ground. However, it is below a ceiling of spikes that slowly lower themselves down to the ground. Mario must jump to in-between gaps before he is crushed (one that has a Star Coin that you can wall jump to, and then get through a second lava-filled area (another Star Coin is on a moving platform that sinks into lava). Before making it to the boss door, Mario can jump on the last tightrope to find a hidden pipe with a Star Coin in another room.

Bowser is the boss of the first world. As Bowser Jr. original did not find a proper boss to inhabit this castle, he got his dad to do it. The fight is very similar to the ones from Super Mario Bros.; the fight takes place on a small bridge above a pit of lava, with a Skull Switch (replacing the former ax) at one end. Mario must get either under or over the Koopa King and hit the switch, which will collapse the bridge. After the Koopa King's defeat, he is reduced to a skeleton (Dry Bowser), and is not seen again until World 8.

Star Coins

 * Star Coin 1 - The first Star Coin will be placed near the cieling. Mario or Luigi will need to Wall Jump off the spiked cieling crushers to get it.
 * Star Coin 2 - Near the end of the level are two platforms. One of the platforms has the coin, but the bros. will need to wait for the second platform to come up to obtain the coin.
 * Star Coin 3 - Right after the second Star Coin is a long stretch of rope. Near the middle of the rope is a Warp Pipe located on the cieling. Using the rope, jump to the cieling and go in the warp pipe to obtain the last Star Coin.
