|notes=An auto-scroll and the first underground level in the game. It introduces several enemies: [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, [[Swooper]]s and [[Spike Top]]s. The level has a secret exit only accessible with a [[Cape]], a [[Shell]] or a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]. Taking this exit leads to the [[Green Switch Palace]].

'''Donut Plains 2''' is an underground level of the [[Donut Plains]] area. The level scrolls automatically and has some underground enemies such as [[Buzzy Beetle]]s and [[Swooper]]s. There are three exits in the level. While beating Donut Plains 2 is not compulsory for finishing the game, it is the only possibility to get to the [[Green Switch Palace]].

 

The whole level features moving yellow platforms that can crush [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]].

The level starts of with Mario or Luigi out of a pipe. After that, the screen will start to scroll. Now, the player have to maneuver around moving yellow platforms, a few Buzzy Beetles and Swoopers. After that, the player will eventually encounter a few [[Warp Pipe]]s. After going forward a little more, Mario or Luigi will encounter the gate and finish the level.

==Exits==

While there are virtually no hidden rooms or special areas in Donut Plains 2, the level has three exits, two of which will open the regular way to the Donut Ghost House in the north-east of Donut Plains 2.

Right after the first green [[Exclamation Mark Block|! Block]] (which is a green [[Dotted Line Block]] instead if the green [[! Switch]] has not been activated yet), there is a green upside-down [[Warp Pipe]]. The player may ignore this pipe and head right. This can be considered the standard way, as it's the only way to get all the [[Dragon Coin]]s in the level. Finally Mario will reach the [[Giant Gate]] and continue to the Donut Ghost House.

Another way that leads to the [[Ghost House]] is to enter the Warp Pipe mentioned above. Mario will enter a special room with a [[Chargin' Chuck]] kicking footballs at him. The auto-scrolling will also stop. At the end of the room, there is a Warp Pipe leading to the Giant Gate.

With the third exit, Mario will be able to reach the Green Switch Palace. This, however, requires to have either [[Yoshi]], a [[Shell]] or a [[Cape]]. First, Mario has to enter the special room like above. Yoshi may eat the [[Blue Shell]] at the end of the room, which gives him the ability to fly. He can fly up where the [[Turning Block]]s are, and pass through a narrow gap where the player will find [[Key]] and [[Keyhole]]. The Key can also be reached by flying through it as [[Cape Mario]] or [[Cape Mario|Luigi]]. Additionally, the uppermost Turning Block releases a [[Beanstalk]] when hit, which makes passing through the gap easier. Alternatively, this Block can be hit with the Shell. The player can use the other three Turning Blocks as stairs to get to the vine, or he can simply fly up. When the player puts the Key into the hole, a new way westwards will open which takes him or her to the Green Switch Palace.
