Acorn Plains is the grassy world of New Super Mario Bros. U. It lies south of Layer Cake Desert, west to Sparkling Waters and Soda Jungle, and south-west of Frosted Glacier. It is a plains world with acorn trees, shrubs, jagged mountains reminiscent of some of the backgrounds in Super Mario World and the world's most defining feature, the Acorn Tree. This special tree is one of main sources of the game's new power-up, the Super Acorn. It can be found in the game's intro, Acorn Plains' map section and said world's first level. This world has eight levels, with 5 normal levels, a secret level, a Tower level and a Castle level, a red and green Toad House, a Piranha Plant Enemy Course, and a spot where a magenta Baby Yoshi walks near. The Castle boss of this world is Lemmy Koopa.

Trivia
- In early builds of New Super Mario Bros. U, the Acorn Plains map looks substantially different. The map was significantly less detailed, the Acorn Trees did not show the Super Acorns, the map had two red Toad Houses, and the green Toad House was in a different spot, there are two Enemy Courses instead of one, and the spot where the Balloon Baby Yoshi was, is gone.
- Previous footage of final Acorn Plains map have depicted the pipe that the Piranha Plant is nesting in as green, instead of red.
