World 3-1 is the first course of World 3 in Super Mario 3D Land. It is the first desert level in the game.

LayoutEdit

The level takes place on a giant sand platform with a tall tower in the center. Sandmaarghs and Pokeys roam about here. There is also a P Switch that creates a very long trail of sixty-four notes, giving a Super Leaf or a 1-Up Mushroom, depending on the player's form. A tall platform with a Cannon can be used to reach the tower's door, which is guarded by a Thwomp, a Wallop, and a Blokkablok. Mario can grab a Propeller Box, located next to two groups of three ascending coins near the first Star Medal, and use it to fly above a bunch of Blocks and a Fake Block before reaching a door on the right-hand side, allowing him to enter the tower. Inside the tower, there is a narrow path with two Thwomps, a Blokkablok, and more Pokeys in a quicksand pool. A Warp Box warps Mario to the next floor, which has the Checkpoint Flag and a door which leads Mario outside again, to a Red Ring and moving platforms that lead to the third floor. On this floor, Mario finds lines of Wallops. In the end, another Thwomp is found, along with a blue + Clock and a door. Mario can use this door to reach the tower's roof (which contains a little pool of water with three coins in it), where Mario reaches the Goal Pole.

Star MedalsEdit

Image Location
  Mario must enter the Cannon. Then, he must be launched to the right corner of the tower, where is a moving platform with the first Star Medal.
  In the right side of the tower, Mario will find a Brick Block covering a hole in the tower's wall. He must break this with a somersault. Crossing the hole, there is a small room with the second Star Medal.
  Mario must go to the top of the last Thwomp, and then Wall Jump on the right wall to collect the third Star Medal.
