The Birabuto Kingdom[1] is a kingdom in Sarasaland and the first world in Super Mario Land. The land is a large desert based on ancient Egypt, with pyramids and palm trees dotting the landscape. King Totomesu is the boss of the world. In the American Super Mario Land commercial, the Birabuto Kingdom's misleading caption was "challenge the mysteries and terrors of ancient Egypt."[2]

Language Name Meaning Notes
Japanese ピラプト王国おうこく[3]
Piraputo Ōkoku
Pyrapt Kingdom; portmanteau of「ピラミッド」(piramiddo, "pyramid") and「エジプト」(Ejiputo, "Egypt").
The English localization mistranslated "Piraputo" as "Birabuto", confusing the two diacritic signs used in Japanese (i.e. confusing the handakuten signs (゜) for dakuten (゛) on the two kanas originally making the "p" sounds).
