'''{{world|1|fort}}''' is the [[fortress]] and fifth level of [[Grass Land]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. It can be accessed after completing [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 1-2]], and its own completion unlocks [[World 1-5 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 1-5]].

As the first fortress level of the game, this level is relatively simple. Obstacles such as [[Roto-Disc]]s and [[Lava Bubble|Podoboo]]s are introduced, as well as [[Dry Bones]]. There are multiple gaps to jump across, while avoiding the Podoboos that continuously rise up and down between them. A [[? Block]] containing a [[Fire Flower]] may be found here. After more gaps, there are a few sets of Roto-Discs that the player must get through, followed by more gaps. At the end of the section, a door leading to the next part of the level may be found. Another ? Block, this time containing a [[Super Leaf]], is also found here, along with a single Dry Bones.
Beyond the door is a hallway with a spiked ceiling. The ceiling slowly rises up and down, meaning the player must duck in order to avoid taking damage from the spikes. At the end of the section is another door, which rises up and down from the ground with the ceiling. Beyond this door is [[Boom Boom]]'s arena; defeating Boom Boom will destroy the fortress, unlock the gate near [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 1-1]], and allow the player to continue onto World 1-5.

The level has a secret exit that is accessible by [[Raccoon Mario]] only. It can be reached by [[dash]]ing near a door while the [[P-Meter|Power Meter]] is filled and flying up towards the ceiling. By continuing right, the player character can enter a door to another room with a [[Recorder|Magic Whistle]]. When collected, the fortress is cleared instantly, although the gate near World 1-1 does not open.

*In non-international releases of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the door into Boom Boom's room is placed further from the wall and some spikes on the ceiling are positioned differently, making entering the door more difficult.
