'''Koopa Troopa Cave''', otherwise known as '''World 1-2''', is the second standard course of [[World 1 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 1]] in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. The course takes place in an underground cave with [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Goomba]]s, and [[Clear Pipe]]s, and it is unlocked by beating [[Super Bell Hill]], and its completion unlocks [[Chargin' Chuck Blockade]] and a [[Toad House]].

The course starts on a grassy hill with a Koopa Troopa and a [[Warp Pipe]] nearby, which leads to an underground cavern filled with Koopas and Goombas. Near the beginning of this cave is a [[Clear Pipe]] that leads to a section with a Koopa Troopa and a [[? Block]]. To the right is an area with some pipes and a hidden [[1-Up Mushroom]]. Following this is an area full of cloudy platforms; at the top is a straightaway, and a Clear Pipe that leads to an area with three openings. One contains a golden Warp Pipe that has three [[Gold Shell]]s; the other two contain Goombas. Past this section is a Warp Pipe that leads to an area full of Goombas, with a Star near the top, and a nearby Warp Pipe leading to the [[Goal Pole]].

|Just after the Clear Pipe to the last room, there is a rectangular ? Block. The player must get on top of it and jump to reveal a hidden rectangular ? Block. Jumping on top of that block reveals another, allowing them to reach a ledge. The player can then enter the Clear Pipe on the wall to warp into an enclosure below the ledge, containing the stamp and several coin stacks. The stamp is a [[Coin]].

The player must be in Cat form. Slightly to the right of the clear pipe leading to the stamp, The player must climb the wall to reach the ledge with a [[World Warp Pipe]] that leads to [[World 2 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 2]].

 

This level is notable for having two places where the player can perform the infinite 1-Up trick within the first area. The first is in a hidden room on the platform after the first Clear Pipe, which can be accessed by [[Ground Pound]]ing the [[Crystal Block]]s on it; the trick can be performed by stealing shell from the Koopa Troopa in the room and bringing it near the hole on the right side of the room, allowing the player to gain a huge amount of extra lives at lightning speed. Another is the walls with two-block-wide gaps containing a Clear Pipe after the second Clear Pipe; the player can bring a Koopa Troopa shell and perform the trick easily.
