'''Birabuto Kingdom''' is an area in [[Sarasaland]] and is the first world in the game ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. The land is a large desert based on ancient [[Egypt]]. In the American ''Super Mario Land'' commercial (which humorously parodies cheesy black-and-white films), the misleading caption "challenge the mysteries and terrors of Ancient Egypt" was given to a Birabuto Kingdom stage. Birabuto is actually a mistranslation of '''ピラプト''', which actually means '''Piraputo''', based off of ピラミッド/'''Pira'''middo and エジプト/Eji'''puto''', which mean "Pyramid" and "Egypt".  Birabuto would be spelled like this '''ビラブト''' in Japan.  The mistake was that '''ピ/Pi''' and '''ビ/Bi''' look visually similar, as well as '''プ/Pu''' and '''ブ/Bu''' sharing some similarities too.  However, one can see that '''プ/Pu''' and '''ピ/Pi''' have a "'''。'''" on top, while '''ブ/Bu''' and '''ビ/Bi''' have a "'''”'''" above them.

There are pyramids in the background and hieroglyph carvings in the cave levels. Prominent enemies in this land are the stationary sphinxes called [[Gao]]s. The boss of the Birabuto Kingdom is a large Gao named [[King Totomesu]], who jumps up and down while spitting fire. Common enemies found here (other than Gaos) include [[Goombo]]s, [[Bombshell Koopa]]s, [[Kumo]]s, [[Fighter Fly|Flies]], [[Bunbun]]s, and [[Pakkun Flower]]s.

Mario begins near some Brick Blocks and Question Blocks, which contain coins. Then, there are some stone walls that lead Mario to an area with pipes, [[Pit (obstacle)|Pit]]s and [[Piranha Plant]]s. After it, there is a narrow area with pipes inside the ground and rocks falling from the roof. Mario crosses a gap and find other four pipes (three of them contain Piranha Plants inside them). Ahead, there is an area similar to the first part of the level, where Mario faces a [[Gao]]. After that, Mario finds a pipe on the roof and a small block pyramid, where a castle-like area begins. Inside this area, Mario finds a hole above the ground, a Bombshell Koopa walking under it and a very narrow path, that only [[Small Mario]] can go through. At the end of this path, Mario finds coins and a Question Block, which contains a Super Mushroom. After some obstacles, Mario will find some falling blocks, lava and two Gaos. Ahead, there is [[King Totomesu]], in a battle similar to the [[False Bowser]]s' in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''. He spits [[fireball]]s and sometimes jumps, allowing Mario to pass through him. Mario can also defeat him with [[Superball]]s, if he is [[Superball Mario]]. After the battle, Mario finds a switch that opens a door. Inside the place, Mario will find Daisy, who is a [[Fighter Fly|Fly]] in costume. Mario then advances to the [[Muda Kingdom]].


Right at the start of the level, Mario can hit a hidden block, which contains an item that takes Mario to the roof, allowing him to find some hidden coins and skip the first part of the level.
