'''Grass Land''' (alternatively '''Grasslands'''<ref name=Power>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13, page 16.</ref> or '''The Grassland'''<ref name=Power/>) is the first world of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. It has six regular levels, one [[Hammer Bro]]ther to encounter, one [[fortress]], a [[Spade Panel]], two [[Toad House]]s, and a [[castle]] that has been taken over by an [[airship]]. In the third level, and in the fortress, Mario can get two out of the three [[Recorder|Magic Whistle]]s in the game. [[Larry Koopa]], one of the seven [[Koopalings]], guards this area and is the boss of Grass Land. The world map's natural terrain includes ground similar to that found in [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|1-1]] and [[World 1-3 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|1-3]], several hills, rocks, and a moat surrounding the castle.
'''Grass Land''' is the first world of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. It has 6 levels, only one [[Hammer Bros.]], a fortress, and two [[Toad House]]s. In level 3 and the fortress you can get two out of the three [[Warp Whistle]]s in the game. Using both of them lets you take a short cut to World 8, [[Dark Land]]. Grass Land is the place where [[Larry Koopa]], the youngest [[Koopaling]] is.  


The [[kings|king of Grass Land]] wears a turban, and has a beard. During the events of the game, he is turned into a dog by the Koopalings; the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] versions of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' instead see him turned into a [[Cobrat]].
==Brief Level Info==
*1-1: [[Mario]] begins his [[Koopa]]-kickin', [[Goomba]]-stompin', [[Mushroom Kingdom]] quest. If able to get a [[Super Leaf]], on the stratch with the Goombas, Mario can uncover a secret by running along, jumping at the end of the stratch, and rapidly pridding the A Button to get to a cloud-top cache! Also, if enough momentum is gathered, Mario can lead off the edge of the long cloud platform and fly to a high-up pipe, where coins making a 3 are found!


The world map included in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' shows that Grass Land is bordered by [[Desert Land]] to the south and [[Pipe Land]] to the east. Likewise, the opening implies that Grass Land is in close proximity to the Mushroom Kingdom.
*1-2: Goombas have infested the rolling green hills of the Mushroom Kingdom. Clear 'em out! In the area with a Paragoomba and Goombas pouring out of a high pipe, Raccoon Mario can earn 1ups bystomping one, super jumping off it, slowly ascending, and hitting them again and again! Also, a P-Switch under a Venus Fire Trap's lair turns Coins into blocks, giving Mario access to a the pipe overhead containing a cache of MORE coins! Plus, the many Note Blocks can contain secrets...


Grass Land's world map theme has gone on to be arranged and included in melodies in several other games. A rendition is played on the level-up option screen in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', the [[Rec Room (Super Mario 64 DS)|Rec Room]] in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', and the 100 Mario Challenge and Course World menus in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. A medley of this theme and the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' overworld theme is played in [[Mario Bros.' House|Mario's Pad]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. Another medley of this music, mixed with ''Super Mario Bros. 3''{{'}}s overworld theme, can be heard on the stage [[Yoshi's Island (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Yoshi's Island]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and on any ''Super Mario'' stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. One other medley of this music, mixed with the map music for [[World 1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' is the world map theme for [[World 1 (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)|World 1]] of ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]''.
*1-3: [[Boomerang Bros.]] and Koopa Troopas defend the secret location of the first [[Warp Whistle]]. But before that, Mario can gain access to [[Coin Heaven]]! On the big block formation in the very first part (after the Boomerang Bro.), hit the Koopa Troopa on the top to the left. It will begin to wildly rebound, destroying many of the blocks and eventually falling out. Mario must go to the block stack on the left, stand against it, and jump to reveal a hidden red Note Block that will allow him to Coin Heaven! In this mysterious place, Raccoon Mario can fly to expose quite a few more coins and a block with a 1up mushroom inside! To get to the Warp Whistle, Mario must crouch on the big white block awhile before the Exit for five seconds. He will then fall ''behind'' the scenery, granting access behind the exit and to the Whistle!

*1-4: [[Gold Coin]]s and [[1-Up Mushroom|1-Up]]s abound on a challenging stage of leaps and bounds. If all Coins in the level are collected, a White Toad House will appear, which has a [[P-Wing]] inside!

==''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''==
*World 1 Fortress: A meatheaded Koopa boss named [[Boom Boom]] defends Grass Land's stony Fortress. The second Warp Whistle can be grabbed by going through the entire Fortress to a door with a Dry Bones nearby. If Raccoon Mario, race back and forth on the stretch of floor by the door, eventually lifting off and going up, up, and onto a platform way above the door! When Mario gets to the end of this platform, he shpuld press Up on the D-Pad to enter into a secret door with the Warp Whistle!
[[File:GrassLandCartoon.jpg|thumb|The Mushroom Kingdom in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''.]]
In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Grass Land does not make an explicit appearance; however, its map shows up as the opening curtain when the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] is the episode's main setting, implying them to be one and the same or at least its animated equivalent. The Mushroom Kingdom (also sometimes called Mushroomland) appears in almost every episode at some point, as it was where Mario and his friends live. Mario and Luigi live in [[Toad]]'s house, while Princess Toadstool lives in the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]].


The episodes in which this world is shown as the title card are "[[Reptiles in the Rose Garden]]", "[[Princess Toadstool for President]]", "[[Reign Storm]]", "[[Toddler Terrors of Time Travel]]", "[[Dadzilla]]", "[[Tag Team Trouble]]", "[[Misadventures in Babysitting]]", "[[Mush-Rumors]]", "[[7 Continents for 7 Koopas]]", and "[[True Colors]]".
*1-5: Delve into a dark cavern and face all kinds of unfriendly cave-dwellers. Another entrance to Coin Heaven can be found by taking the upper route after the two Prianha Plants, then jumping against the left wall to expose ''another'' salmon colored Note Block!

*1-6: Expect a wild ride on this stage's dangerously erratic platforms and lifts. A Coin Heaven is in this level along with a 1-up, and on the big platforms, Raccoon Mario can run and fly to find a huge arch of coins, just for him!

*Larry's Airship: Board an airship that's bristling with cannons and dodge the way to [[Larry Koopa]], Bowser's favorite Koopaling. His only attack is to use the Wand to shoot rings at Mario. Dodge them and stomp him thrice to win the wand back, and change the King of this world from a [[Cobrat]] into his jolly old self.

*Grass Land is the only world to keep its name intact in all versions of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' (including ''Super Mario All-Stars'' and ''Super Mario Advance 4'').
*A highly similar theme is used for the ''Munchlax's Berry Bonanza'' {{wp|Adobe Flash|Flash}} game, on the now-defunct "Play Games" section of the ''Pokémon'' website.<ref>pokemonfanac. (July 8, 2010. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veAbfu2r4eU Munchlax's Berry Bonanza (Pokemon.com)]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved December 4, 2021.</ref>
