''Super Mario Bros.'' is the first [[side-scrolling]] video game featuring [[Mario]], and one of the first video games directed and designed by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]. Rather than confront the player with obstacles indiscriminately, its first level introduces the variety of hazards and objects by directing the player to interact with them while advancing.<ref name=1UP>{{cite web|url=http://www.1up.com/features/learning-level-design-mario|website=[[1UP.com]]|title=Learning Through Level Design with Mario|last=Parish|first=Jeremy|year=2012| url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120818210917/http://www.1up.com/features/learning-level-design-mario|archive-date=August 18, 2012 | access-date=October 5, 2021}}</ref>

Miyamoto explained that he designed World 1-1 to contain everything players need to "gradually and naturally understand what they're doing", to be able to play more freely, so that it becomes "their game".<ref name=Eurogamer>{{cite web|url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-09-07-video-miyamoto-on-how-nintendo-made-marios-most-iconic-level|website=[[Eurogamer]]|title=Video: Miyamoto on how Nintendo made Mario's most iconic level|last=Robinson|first=Martin|date=September 7, 2015|access-date=March 20, 2016|archive-date=March 21, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160321111454/http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-09-07-video-miyamoto-on-how-nintendo-made-marios-most-iconic-level|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=Gamasutra>{{cite web|url=http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/253150/How_Miyamoto_built_Super_Mario_Bros_legendary_World_11.php|website=[[Gamasutra]]|title=How Miyamoto built ''Super Mario Bros.''{{'}} legendary World 1-1|last=Kerr|first=Chris|date=September 8, 2015|access-date=March 20, 2016|archive-date=March 5, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305081905/http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/253150/How_Miyamoto_built_Super_Mario_Bros_legendary_World_11.php|url-status=live}}</ref>

[[File:World 1-1 obstacle schematic.PNG|thumb|right|SchematicThis ofschematic shows the start of World 1-1. The [[Goomba]] (red) walks toward Mario and must be jumped over. The [[Super Mario#Mushroom|Mushroom]] (light green) appears after bumping into the golden block from below, and initially rolls to the right, until it falls off the platform and bounces against the pipe (green). The Mushroom then turns around and rolls toward Mario, who can easily receive it at this point.<ref name=Eurogamer />]]

At the start of World 1-1, the player [[player character|controls Mario]] to immediately encounter a slowly approaching [[Goomba]]. According to ''[[1UP.com]]'', it is likely that this first enemy will [[life (gaming)|kill]] a novice player, even though the enemy can easily be avoided by jumping over it. As very little progress is lost, the player learns from defeat and can try again.<ref name=1UP /> Past this Goomba comes an arrangement of blocks, a few of which are colored in gold. Bumping one of them from below releases a coin. According to Miyamoto, seeing a coin come out will "make [the player] happy" and want to repeat the action. Doing so for the second gold-colored block makes a [[Super Mario#Mushroom|Mushroom]] come out as a surprise [[power-up]]. The player has learned from the Goomba that mushroom-shaped beings are bad, so perhaps the player tries to avoid the power-up Mushroom, but the corridor of blocks foils escape. Touching the Mushroom makes Mario grow in size and strength, another positive reinforcement.<ref name=Eurogamer /><ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.popularmechanics.com/culture/gaming/a17251/super-marios-bros-world-1-1-explained/|magazine=[[Popular Mechanics]]|title=Why the Famous First Level of Super Mario Bros.

World 1-1 includes a few secrets that players can discover by [[replay value|replaying]], such as a pipe leading to a [[bonus level|bonus room]] and a hidden block containing a [[Life (video games)#Extra lives|1-up]]. The pipe also skips much of the level, to expedite the experienced players.<ref name=1UP />

World 1-1 has been cited as one of the most iconic video game levels, described by Chris Kerr of ''Gamasutra'' as "legendary".<ref name=Eurogamer /><ref name=Gamasutra /><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.vg247.com/2015/09/07/watch-miyamoto-explain-how-he-designed-super-mario-bros-world-1-1/|website=[[VG247]]|title=Watch Miyamoto explain how he designed Super Mario Bros.

Jeremy Parish of ''[[1UP.com]]'' stated that "much of the game's success arose from the fact that it equipped players with the tools to master it from the very beginning." Almost all mechanics subsequently introduced inthroughout the game are variationsbased ofon those in World 1-1, and the first levels of later ''Mario'' gamessequels (such as ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'') also expand uponthem themfurther. ParishHe described it as "the most widely imitated, referenced, and parodied single level of a video game".<ref name=1UP /> Regarding the [[Super Mario Bros. theme|''Super Mario Bros.'' theme]], he called World 1-1 an "elegant fusion of sound, music, and action".<ref>{{cite web |title=GDC 2007: Mario Maestro Shares His Secrets |url=http://www.1up.com/news/gdc-2007-mario-maestro-shares |publisher=[[1UP.com]] |date=March 7, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120710232628/http://www.1up.com/news/gdc-2007-mario-maestro-shares |archive-date=July 10, 2012}}</ref>

The design philosophy introduced in ''Super Mario Bros.'', described as "learning through play", has been implemented in all of Miyamoto's later games.<ref name=Eurogamer /> World 1-1 greatly influenced later ''[[Super Mario]]'' games, such as ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''{{'}}s first level.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.avclub.com/article/how-spirit-original-world-1-1-carries-todays-mario-225218|newspaper=[[The A.V.

Variations of World 1-1 are frequently recreated as [[user-generated content]], such as with ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and [[Super Mario Maker 2|its sequel]]. Examples include an extra difficult version with dozens of twirling fire bars, a vertical climbing version, and a self-playing version.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.polygon.com/2019/7/16/20696152/super-mario-maker-2-world-1-1-nintendo-switch|work=[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]]|title=Mario Maker 2 level turns World 1-1 into a fiery nightmare hellscape|last=Diaz|first=Ana|date=July 16, 2019|access-07date=April 2, 2020|archive-date=April 1, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200401055546/https://www.polygon.com/2019/7/16/20696152/super-mario-maker-2-world-1-1-nintendo-switch|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.polygon.com/nintendo-switch/2019/8/21/20826916/super-mario-maker-2-weird-levels-1-1-on-side-nintendo-switch|work=[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]]|title=Super Mario Maker 2 level turns World 1-1 on its side|last=Good|first=Owen S.|date=August 21, 2019|access-08date=April 2, 2020|archive-date=December 2, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191202105052/https://www.polygon.com/nintendo-switch/2019/8/21/20826916/super-mario-maker-2-weird-levels-1-1-on-side-nintendo-switch|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/super-mario-maker-2-best-levels/automatic-1-1|work=[[Complex.com|Complex]]|title=The Best 'Super Mario Maker 2' Levels for Nintendo Switch|author=Khal|date=August 13, 2019|access-08date=April 2, 2020|archive-13date=December 23, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211223145836/https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/super-mario-maker-2-best-levels/automatic-1-1|url-status=live}}</ref>
