Just past this, the first Koopa Troopa in the level will appear. It can be reached by jumping on top of some blocks and going into the rock alcove. The first Star Coin in the level is to the right of the spring.

In order to leave this area, Mario can either wall jump through the shaft he came through or jump up using a spring. Immediately after this, Mario can Ground Pound through numerous blocks to go further underground and find a large number of coins. After this, he will find a few Question Blocks and brick blocks, covering coins. Mario should then go down a short rocky stairway and up another. Three Brick Blocks which are on top of nine coins will then appear. It has many blocks which Mario can break.Īt the beginning of the level, Mario will fall down a hole into a cave. World 1-2 is a cave level, similar to World 1-2 from Super Mario Bros. It is also the first level to have a secret exit. Piranha Plants make their first appearance in the game here. This is the second level in the game as well as the first level to take place entirely underground (if counting the secret area in World 1-1 which is made up of a cave).
