'''Birabuto Kingdom''' is an area in [[Sarasaland]] and is the first world in the game ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. The land is a large desert based on ancient [[Egypt]]. In the American ''Super Mario Land'' commercial (which humorously parodies cheesy black-and-white films), the misleading caption "challenge the mysteries and terrors of Ancient Egypt" was given to a Birabuto Kingdom stage.

There are pyramids in the background and hieroglyph carvings in the cave levels. Prominent enemies in this land are the stationary sphinxes called [[Gao]]s. The boss of the Birabuto Kingdom is a large Gao named [[King Totomesu]], who jumps up and down while spitting fire. Common enemies found here (other than Gaos) include [[Goombo]]s, [[Bombshell Koopa]]s, [[Kumo]]s, [[Fighter Fly|Flies]], [[Bunbun]]s, and [[Pakkun Flower]]s.

Ahead, he finds two coins and a Question Block containing a Super Mushroom or a Flower, a Goombo and some lone coins. In some high trees, he faces two [[Bunbun]]s and some [[Bombshell Koopa]]s. There are some Brick Blocks and Question Blocks. A Bombshell Koopa is walking above them and a Goombo is walking below them. Near they, a gap between two trees lead Mario to a Question Block with a coin inside it. Then, some [[platform]]s moving up and down, three coins and three Used Blocks.
