Objective: Reach the Goal Card at the end of the stage.
This is your very first stage, designed to introduce basic platforming and enemies. Head right, jumping over Goombas and Koopa Troopas. You'll quickly encounter your first ? Block containing a Super Mushroom. Grab it to become Super Mario!
Further on, you'll find a Brick Block containing a Super Leaf. This transforms you into Raccoon Mario, allowing you to glide and, with enough momentum, fly. Practice flying by running to fill your P-Meter, then jumping and repeatedly pressing A. There's a hidden 1-Up Mushroom in a block above the first pipe you see after the Super Leaf. To get it, hit the block from underneath while Raccoon Mario, then fly up to collect it. The stage ends with a series of blocks and a Goal Card. Try to hit the card when it shows a Star for extra lives!
