This first level of the game takes place in a simple grassland area with Princess Peach's Castle and the Tanooki-tailed Tree visible in the background. When Mario starts, he crosses a small bridge with a leaping Cheep-Cheep to an area with two Brick Blocks along with a Question Block that has a Super Leaf inside. He then crosses another stream. Soon after, an area with Brick Blocks and bushes in the ground are found. Close to this area is a small wall and two Elevators to help Mario get to the top. Above the cliff, there are many dandelions, some trees, and two Goombas. Ahead are a castle-like wall and many Brick Blocks. In one of them is hidden a device that makes the ground under it rise when Mario spins it by swinging the Tanooki-tail of his Tanooki Suit. Above is a small roof with Crates. After the plumber exits this area, he can use a pair of Binoculars to see Toad attempting to teach how to jump on the Flagpole.
