==Layout==
This level starts with a staircase leading upwards, with 10 [[Boo Buddies]] in circles. when the player goes down, there will be an Eerie as well as a [[Big Boo]]. The player can also find a blue [[P-Switch]] and a trampoline on top of a reverse-coin block. The player must make it through the first door on the right.
Donut Secret House is one of two Ghost Houses in [[Donut Plains]]. This level consists of two main rooms, a boss room, and a hallway used to reset the second room. There is a 400 second [[Time Limit]] to clear the level. It contains no [[Dragon Coin]]s in the original releases. Additionally, the walls at the end of the two main rooms of the level are not extended to fill the whole screen in the [[Super Famicom]] release only.
Once through that door, Mario or Luigi will encounter many doors that will lead him to exits for the level. There will be a power-up question mark, that gives the player a [[Mushroom]] if small size, or a [[Fireflower]], if larger. The player must head left to find a [[P-Switch]] after running through some ghosts to access these exit doors. If the player presses the switch, there will be three question marks appearing in the middle of the map, which gives access to a stem that leads up to the secret blue door. There is also another secret blue door, guarded by a set of coins. This door will lead to the goal of this level, which leads underground to [[Donut Secret 2]]. If Mario or Luigi make their way up the stem to find the other blue secret door, it takes them to the Big Blue Boss.  
To defeat the Big Blue Boo, the player must pick up the grab blocks that make up the floor and kick them at the Big Blue Boo, without taking the floor away in the process. There are also two [[Boo-Buddies]] that accompany the boss. After the defeat of the Big Blue Boo, the player can access the first [[Star Road]], which leads to [[Star World 1]].

In order to get to the [[secret exit]], the player must still activate the Switch Block, revealing three ?

Block and hit the Rotating Block directly above. A [[Beanstalk]] will then appear, which must quickly be climbed to access a long platform, at the end of which is a another Blue Door. (The Switch Block must not have timed out in order for the door to still be there.) The door leads to the boss room with one Big Boo and two small Boos. The Big Boo must be defeated by throwing [[Grab Block]]s at him. The boss is harmless to the player but the regular Boos are not. The player must be careful not to create a hole in the floor and fall through it. After the Big Boo is hit three times, he will be defeated, leading to [[Star World 1]]. This is the only level with a secret exit that is not accessed by either a [[keyhole]] or a [[Giant Gate]].
