Which is, for you, the "real" first level of Super Mario World?

Discussion :Discussion:

The official first level is 1-1, of course, and it's indeed the level most at the left (which, in Mario games, are usually the levels that should be done first)

However, there are many people who started their journey on 1-2 and that's the first level for them. It's probably because they spawn between two levels and the first instinct is to run to the right in order to advance in the game. The left part of the map looks empty, while the right part seems to have more levels and a castle, so some players think the left part is optional

Lastly, although is not a "real" level, all player spawn in Yoshi's House so it can also be considered as the first place to visit

What do you think?
