World 1-Princess Peach's Kingdom

A Not-So-Happy Birthday!
It was a bright sunny day in the Mushroom Kingdom and all of the people of the land were celebrating. For this was not just any other day, it was Princess Peach’s birthday! Just when Mario and the gang were ready to give the Princess her gifts, Bowser’s bratty kids crashed the party! They pounced from within her cake, snatched Princess Peach, and made off with her in their Sky Ship!
Though Mario, Luigi, the Toads, and the other partygoers gave chase, they were unable to catch the speedy vessel. Luckily, a Toad thought quickly and fired several Penguin and Propellerhead power-ups from a portable cannon. As the power-ups fell from the sky, they landed all across the Mushroom Kingdom.

Though this world is closest to Princess Peach’s castle, it’s not without its share of dangerous creatures. Luckily, the majority of baddies in this World are standard, garden-variety nuisances like Goombas and Koopas. Consider this world your warm-up.
