World 2-1 is the first level of World 2, in New Super Mario Bros..

Layout

This level starts out with four ? Blocks; in the second one, a power-up can be found. A Pokey will appear as the first enemy of the level. Above the Pokey resides four coins. After a few steps, a Spiny is encountered; near it are three Brick Blocks and a second Pokey. After a few more steps, the first Star Coin can be found, along with a third Pokey. After some more trekking, the player will encounter a cluster of three Pokeys - each on or near a floating platform. The second Star Coin can be found by both a bank of quicksand and another Pokey. After the player passes the second Star Coin, he or she will encounter an abyss that hosts a Pokey and a few more floating platforms. Once the abyss is passed, the Midway Point will be activated. Past this point, three brick blocks and one ? Block is seen. As the player presses forth, he or she will encounter four abysses, each hosting one Pokey. In the fourth abyss resides the final Star Coin in the level. At the end of this abyss, there is a mini-pipe which can only be accessed via the use of a Mini Mushroom. After this, yet another abyss is found; within it are a few floating platforms and a Pokey. Past here, the player must enter a pipe to continue in the level. Inside the Mini Pipe is nothing but a maze and a few clusters of coins.

On the other end of the pipe, there is a cluster of blocks; in the middle block resides a P-Switch. By activating the P-Switch, the small bridge of coins ahead, (located above the final Pokey in the level), will turn into brick blocks. If the player runs across the bridge of brick blocks, he or she can jump to the Flagpole. Once the flagpole has been touched, the level ends.

Star Coins

• Star Coin 1 - The first Star Coin is located in mid-air. It can easily be obtained, but take caution of the nearby Pokey.
• Star Coin 2 - This coin will be above some quicksand in the air. However, a Pokey on a moving platform can cause some difficulties getting the coin.
• Star Coin 3 - The coin is located on the bottom of the level, but two Pokeys on moving platforms can be a nuisance.
