'''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.  
'''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.


==Brief Level Info==
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]].
*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!


*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...
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.


*1-3: [[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!
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]]''.
{{br|toc=1}}


*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!

Grass Land
Game Super Mario Bros. 3
Level(s) 8
<< List of worlds >>

Grass Land (alternatively Grasslands[1] or The Grassland[1]) is the first world of Super Mario Bros. 3. It has six regular levels, one Hammer Brother to encounter, one fortress, a Spade Panel, two Toad Houses, 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 Magic Whistles 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 1-1 and 1-3, several hills, rocks, and a moat surrounding the castle.

The 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 SNES and Game Boy Advance versions of Super Mario Bros. 3 instead see him turned into a Cobrat.

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.

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 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'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 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 from New Super Mario Bros. Wii is the world map theme for World 1 of Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition.
