       if ((Greenfoot.isKeyDown("Enter")))
       {
           getWorld().removeObject(this);
           Greenfoot.start();
       }
Just wondering if there is a way to "Run" by pressing enter or another key on the keyboard. Instead of having to click the run button. Edit: So I have got this but I still have to manually press the run button.

The code is only executed when it is running. So if it isn't running, there is no way to make it start by pressing a key. However, if you put line 4 in the first world without any condition, it will start immediately. You could also have like a dummy world to start which changes to the game world when pressing enter.

The only way to run a scenario from a stopped state is by clicking the "Run" button. You can have your scenario start automatically and then wait for "enter" to be pressed while in a running state as the following depicts: 
public MyWorld()
{
    super(600, 400, 1);
    Greenfoot.start();
}

public void act()
{
    if (Greenfoot.isKeyDown("enter"))
    {
        Greenfoot.setWorld(new Level1());
    }
}
