Vanilla Dome 1 is the first level in Vanilla Dome in the game Super Mario World.
Level Walkthrough[]
Mario begins the level near a staircase-like structure, where a Spike Top climbs the structure, forcing the hero to be careful when jumping down to the floor. Swoopers hang on the ceiling, waiting for Mario to attack, and they cover almost all the ceiling in this area. A Flying ? Block near a Buzzy Beetle can be found here, on a rocky platform. As Mario ventures through the cavern, he finds a large structure made of Rotating Blocks blocking the way. The only way to progress is passing underneath the Rotating Blocks, in a straight platform with Buzzy Beetles trying to stop Mario. Mario can, however, find a variety of things among the blocks, including a Red and a Blue Shell, some coins and the first Dragon Coin of the stage. When Mario finally finds his way through the Rotating Block structure, he finds a ? Block in the floor, and a Buzzy Beetle. He can then find a green Warp Pipe ahead of a Koopa Paratroopa, which brings him to a long underground corridor with an extremely large yellow platform bobbing in the lava. Mario has to use a Starman in a nearby ? Block to gain invincibility and defeat any enemy in his way, while running as fast as possible on the yellow platform before it sinks in the lava. A Dragon Coin can be found near the green pipe.
This pipe brings him to the Midway Gate of the level, located on a platform in thin air. Mario must follow the way infested with Buzzy Beetles, to a pair of Rotating Blocks. By flipping this blocks, Mario gains access to a couple of straight paths with Spike Tops and a lone Buzzy Beetle. The upper path has a Dragon Coin on it, though the ceiling is low, requiring Mario to be Small Mario to access the coin. Mario eventually finds some pipes that he must use to cross an abyss. A Jumping Piranha Plant and a Koopa Paratroopa can be found here. If Mario has pressed the green ! Switch at Green Switch Palace, he can collect a Dragon Coin above some green ! Blocks near the abyss. After this, Mario finds a maze-like structure filled with Buzzy Beetles, and Koopa Shells. The last Dragon Coin of the level can be found here. Near the Blue Shell, Mario can find the Giant Gate, ending the level.
Secret Exit[]
When the player gets to a place of Red Switch Blocks, there is a question box and a Buzzy Beetle. There are also two yellow pipes (see in the page's image). There are many ways to get up to the secret exit. The player can get the Red Switch Palace to make the empty Red Switch Blocks into Red Switch Blocks. The player can then replay Vanilla Dome 1 and go on the Red Switch Blocks and go up the Piranha Plant Stalk. However, there are ways to get to the secret exit without going to the Red Switch Palace, if the player gets Yoshi and jumps with him and the player gets of him a jumps, they'll hit the Piranha Plant Stalk Block. If the player does that again (not just under the Piranha Plant Stalk Block) then they can climb on the Piranha Plant Stalk and climb up to get to the secret exit. If you want to get to the secret exit with Yoshi, get Blue Yoshi and make him eat the Red Paratroopa so he can get wings and make him fly up to the secret exit.
