====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
Acorn Plains is the first world of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''. It lies south of [[Layer-Cake Desert]], west to [[Sparkling Waters]], [[Soda Jungle]], and [[Rock-Candy Mines]], and southwest of [[Frosted Glacier]], [[Meringue Clouds]], and [[Peach's Castle (world)|Peach's Castle]]. This special tree is one of main sources of the game's new power-up, the [[Super Acorn]]. It can be found in the game's intro, Acorn Plains' map section and said world's first level. This world has eight levels, with 5 normal levels, a secret level, a [[Tower]], a [[Castle]], a Red and Green [[Toad House]], a [[Piranha Plant]] [[Enemy Course]], and a spot with a [[Balloon Baby Yoshi]]. The [[Tower]] boss is [[Boom Boom]] with no special abilities and the [[Castle]] boss of this world is [[Lemmy|Lemmy Koopa]].

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====
Courses with the overworld theme of the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style are set in Acorn Plains in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]''.

====''Super Mario Run''====
[[File:SuperMarioRun - screen1.png|thumb|Some levels from ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' are set in Acorn Plains.]]
The courses [[Up and Over]], [[Shell Me the Way!]], [[Slope to Success]], and [[Piranha Plant Field]] from ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', as well as the tutorial [[How to Play]], take place in Acorn Plains. Similarly, the above ground sections of the courses [[Wall-Kicking It Underground]], [[Treasure-Hoarding Swoops]], [[Danger High and Low]], and [[Chase the Snaking Coins]] take place in Acorn Plains. Landmarks such as Acorn Trees and [[List of Kingdom Builder items in Super Mario Run|Slanted Rock]]s can be added to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] in Kingdom Builder mode.

The underground portions of Wall-Kicking It Underground, Treasure-Hoarding Swoops, Danger High and Low, and Chase the Snaking Coins use crystals as semisolid platforms in the same way Tilted Tunnel and Crooked Tunnel from ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and ''New Super Luigi U'' do, and therefore may be underground in Acorn Plains.
