Afterwards is another inaccessible pipe, the ending staircase for the level, and the flagpole, which is reused in all underground and underwater stages in the game. Just following is another pipe that cannot be entered (which is the exit from the bonus area mentioned earlier), followed by two Little Goombas and four blocks in a row (three bricks and a coin-holding ?). After that is another pyramid-like set of blocks, this time with a pit in the middle. Bricks and ?s can be found, followed by a pyramid-like set of Hard Blocks with a gap in the middle. A Koopa Troopa and more Little Goombas appear. The top block contains a Fire Flower (or a Magic Mushroom if Mario is small).

There are two bricks after that the second one contains a Starman. There is a brick down below contains ten coins that the plumbers can retrieve by jumping repeatedly underneath the brick. Additionally, Little Goombas start falling down from a long row of blocks above. After that, assuming the pipe was not taken, there is a hidden 1 up Mushroom block and a pit followed by another ? containing an item, possibly a Magic Mushroom or Fire Flower, depending on the their form. The final pipe among the set leads to a bonus area of coins and can be entered to bypass much of the level. A set of Pipes can be found, with Little Goombas located in between them. They then reach the first ? of the game, and afterward the six block triangle formation of ?s and regular bricks (with a Magic Mushroom inside the left block). As Mario or Luigi moves forward, a Little Goomba appears and starts walking towards them.

This level starts out on a flat, open path.
