'''Mushroom Zone''',<ref>{{cite|author=Campbell, Stuart|title=''Game Boy Game Secrets, 1999 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|date=May 5, 1999|isbn=0761520856|language=American English|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|page=94}}</ref> also called '''Mario Land Entrance'''<ref>{{cite|date=November 1992|language=American English|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 42|page=54|location=Redmond, WA|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> or '''Start''',<ref>{{cite|date=December 1992|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 43|page=45|location=Redmond, WA|language=American English|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> is the first [[level]] in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. It acts as a way to help the player learn the controls and mechanics of the game before sending them to the actual main game. This stage has the distinction of being the only standard level in the game [[Unrevisitable area|that cannot be re-entered upon completing it]] through normal means.

The player starts on a long stretch of land. Continuing forward, the player will find several [[? Block]]s and some enemies; one of the ? Blocks contains a [[Super Mushroom|Mushroom]] power-up. Further along, the player will find a [[Warp Pipe]] that leads to a room with [[coin]]s. Beyond the pipe is a series of blocks with a [[Koopa Troopa]] on the top. Afterwards, the player will find a [[Paragoomba]], as well as some blocks that help the player reach some coins, followed by some Warp Pipes containing [[Piranha Plant]]s. Beyond those are a group of ? Blocks with one containing a [[1-Up Heart]], and the other containing a [[Super Star|Star]]. Grabbing the Star will allow the player to defeat the enemies up ahead easier. The [[Bell (Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins)|Mid-Point Bell]] is also close by.

After the checkpoint, there is a row of ? Blocks with a Koopa Troopa walking around on top. The second-to-last ? Block will have a [[Fire Flower]] that appears even if Mario is [[Small Mario|small]]. Afterwards, there is a 1-Up Heart underneath a row of the blocks, which [[Mario]] can break by [[Spin Jump]]ing. Beyond the blocks is a Warp Pipe with a Piranha Plant, flanked by [[fiery block]]s, which leads to a room containing coins. After the pipe is a set of stairs with [[Spike Trap|spike]]s at the bottom of the pit between them. After this is the [[Goal (Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins)|Goal]] of the level, which has steps of breakable blocks leading to the bell at the top.
