World 3-1 is the first level of World 3 in Super Mario Bros. Special. It starts with an underwater area before transitioning to an overworld area.
LayoutEdit
The level begins with a pipe leading underwater. The underwater area has a single Bloober, followed by many Cheep Cheeps. There are two exit pipes: one in the middle between the Bloober and Cheep Cheeps, and one at the end. There are also coins scattered around.
Both pipes lead to a sequence with two bridges and a Balance Lift, and Cheep Cheeps that jump from the water. Above the first bridge is a Hidden Block containing a Magic Mushroom or Fire Flower. Following this is a structure that can be traversed either by going on top of it or through it. On top is a row of coins. To take the lower path, Mario must get through a one-tile gap. If he does, he can access a row of ? Blocks, one of which releases a power-up.
After a pit, the level changes from the water tiles to an ordinary grassland. This begins with a section with Koopa Paratroopas. A set of four unusually tall trees are present; the rightmost one has a Hidden Block with a 1-Up Mushroom at its top. A tiny pit is also present. The last Paratroopa comes from the top of a tall wall of Hard Blocks, which can only be passed using the nearby pair of Hidden Blocks.
Next is a set of three pipes with Piranha Plants. Between the second and third pipes is two Little Goombas and a Hidden Block with a power-up. After a final pit is the ending of the stage, where the top of the flagpole can be reached with either the two-layer structure of Hard Blocks, or the Hidden Blocks next to the flagpole.
