The very first stage of Super Mario Land. This level is designed to introduce you to basic platforming and enemy encounters. Start by moving right, jumping over the first few Goombos. You'll quickly encounter your first '?' block; hit it to reveal a Super Mushroom. Collect it to become Super Mario. Continue right, jumping across gaps and stomping on more Goombos. There's a hidden block above the second '?' block that contains a coin. Further along, you'll find a series of blocks, one of which contains a Superball Flower. Grab it to become Superball Mario and practice shooting Superballs with the B button. Remember, they bounce!

As you progress, you'll encounter a few Fly enemies. These can be stomped or hit with Superballs. There's a pipe you can enter by ducking (D-Pad Down) and pressing A, which leads to a small bonus room with several coins. Exit the pipe to return to the main path. The end of the stage is marked by a flagpole. Jump to the top of the flagpole for maximum points. This stage is a gentle introduction, so take your time and get comfortable with the controls and power-ups.
