Hints
Level Warps:
Warp to World 4: In level 1-3 go to the area just before the brick background. Pick up the plants until you get a bottle. Then go past the brick background until you find a pot and throw the bottle on it. Go through the door and down the pot into World 4.
Warp to World 5: To warp to level 5, first get to level 3-1. When you enter the first door, fall all the way down. You have to be in the middle as you fall. When you stop, you will find a platform with a door. Enter the door, then look for the potion in the grass. Pick it up, then throw it on the ground, enter the door in cyberspace, and go into the vase and you will be at level 5.
Warp to World 6: In level 4-2 In the area with the whales find a bottle and throw it on the next pot. Enter the doorway and go down the pot into World 6.
Warp to World 7: Work your way to level 5-3. (It would be a good idea to choose Luigi for this level because of his superb jumping skills.) Go up the ladder at the beginning of the level, and then jump up onto the ledge above the ladder. As soon as you get on top of the ledge, grab the first grass on the right. It is a potion. Use the potion and go through the door. Now, while in sub-space, go down through the jar and voila! Now you're in Level 7!Level 1 Secret Room:
If you use luigi in level 1, when you go in the cave and go up the vine turn left and jump to find a secret exit to the end of the level.Another 1-Up Loop:
Get to level 4-1 first. When you take the rocket to the area with the snowballs and the cart-riding shy- guys, you will get to a point were you can uproot a shell. Near the shell is a area with steps that you have to take. DO NOT CLIMB THE STAIRS!!!! Instead throw it between the first step and the wall. Then climb up the stairs untill you see the cart-riding shy-guy. Let him fall down the stairs and get hit by the shell. It will consider that you defeted two baddies at the same time. Go back to the stairs were the shy-guy was and youll see that he regenrated. Keep doing this untill you have max lives. This is also a good way to refill your health.Extra Lives:
If you knock more than four characters on the screen off you recieve extra lives (1-ups). If you want to recieve lots of 1-ups (you can get up to 99), here's a good trick. In level 1-1, go to the area where you recieve your first heart, grab the POW black and wait for the Big ShyGuy and the masked bird to appear, throw the block and quickly move to the right until the ground stops shaking, you should see three 1-ups appear. Go back into the door at the beginning of that section come back to the POW block and do it again. Keep doing this until you reach 99 characters.Easy Way To Get Extra Lives:
Go to level 5-3, and proceed up the ladder to the right of the starting place. Once you get onto the surface the first radish(buried bonus thing) is a koopa=shell. Pick it up and jump on it. The shell will just travel back and forth in the first little area, meanwhile bombs are being dropped near you, just stay on the shell, and occasionaly press down to avoid the bombs, after hitting 5 bombs you will have got an extra life and any extra bomb you hit will get you another extra life.Even Easier:
Go to the choose a game meuu an press L + R + B and you will get and extra life.Many Extra Lives:
You can go into the cave and climb up the vine and turn right go to the third plant and pick it up and throw it at the creatures and get all of them to get a life. Then go through the door. Go through the door again to get into the cave again and repeat method to get as many lives as you want.Tons of Extra Lives in World 2-1:
In World 2-1 before you fight birdo you'll find a pot. Enter it and there'll be 2 shy guys. Pick up one and throw it at the other and you'll get 1 1up. Exit the pot and re-enter and do it again until you have 99 or the amount you want. (note: You can get 2 1ups the first time you do it by picking up the plant. after that it'll just be a carrot.)Yes, Even More Exta Lives:
In level 1-1, when you are in the cave, you can climb up into a room where you will find five purple jumping guys. Kill one and a chain reaction will kill them all, you will get an extra life. Go down the rope again, then climb up and do the same.you can do this over and over again until you hve 99 lives.Umm... Lives Anyone?:
For a few extra lives at world 7-1 climb up the ladder then go right and pick up the mushroom block. Now place it next to the building with the door to the left. And the Shyguys from the pot will fall into a 1-spaced trap. Now wait until the pot stops producing Shyguys and pick up 1 of the trapped Shyguys. Now go to the the right of the mushroom block and throw the Shyguy (to the right) and if you do it right you'll get 2 lives. Go inside the building and back out and repeat for some lives before going to the last level (7-2).Birdo's Bow:
You can take off birdo's bow when you jump on her head. I found that it works on only some of them.A Lot of Hearts:
If you want to refill your heart meter just pick up big shys and and keep throwing him do NOT throw him at a enemy however, if you throw him once you get one heart just keep repeating this until you have all your hearts.Extra POW:
In world 1-1, climb up the vine and get the potion, then go to your right and use it next to the POW block, then enter the door and jump on the POW and pick it up. Let the timer run out and you will have an extra POW block.Yoshi Mode:
Beat Super Mario Bros. 2, and when you look at your file after you beat it, it will say 00/40, there are two eggs in each level, you can find them behind the potion doors. If you throw the potion door down, and go inside and there's no egg, try getting the potion again and put it somewhere else. If you find all the eggs, you can play Yoshi as a character. You'll know if you have him by looking on the main screen. On the hill you will see his egg moving around, you'll know you have him if you get all the eggs and his egg hatches.The Marksman:
In level 1-1 in the cave go up the vine get the big vegetable and throw it so it hits all of bad guys if done right you could get a lot of points and 1ups.Warp 4-2 to 6-1:
On the whale part after the purple porcupines grab the magic potion and carry it to the exit door. Drop it where you can see the jar next to the exit door. Enter subspace and jump into the jar to find a Warp to world 5-1 and then go down the jar.Get 99 Lives Fast:
On world 5-3, as soon as you climb up the ladder at the beginning, Go to the right, the only direction that you can go and pull out the first root which is a red shell. Throw it straight and jump on top of it, as you are doing this, the birds will come dropping bombs and the shell will knock the bombs off. The bombs keep coming so this trick is sure to work!1UP Loop in World 3-3:
In the room before you get the key in world 3-3 there's a plant. Pick it up to get a shell. Go to the bottom and throw it in the gap with the door you came in and jump to the left side. Meanwhile shyguy's will be coming out of the jar and go into the gap and get hit. The'll keep on coming so you can get many 1UP's! (Noat: Don't Stand or duck on the shell. Most the time you'll get hit.)Words to The Wise:
Don't dig straight down. Vary your pattern, or enemies will fall on your head.2 Llives to Immortality:
This code will work only if you have 2 or more lifes. If you die in a level start it all be over by choosing the same character and the same level. Then when the level starts press START and choose TRY AGAIN. This will take you to the start of the level but you'll have your original number of lives back. The bad part is that if you gain any lives before you die you won't be able to keep them.Get Red Yoshi:
To get the Green yoshi at the title screen once the egg hatched to be red, Do the following in this order.
Beat the game with any charactar, this will show a green egg at the title screen, Get all of the eggs, this will Make the egg hatch and a green Yoshi will appear, Get all of the Advance tokens (5 in each level) This will give you a red yoshi at the title screen.I Can Fly:
In any level where there are red beezos jump on it and run the same direction as the red beezo.Now you will fly until you hit something or stop running.No Key Required:
At world 3-3 go into the building. Then keep on going right until you get to an unlocked door next to a locked door. Enter it and pick up the jinx. DO NOT THROW IT AT AN ENEMY. Instead go as far as you can go up with and then drop it on the ground. Jump on him then super jump on top of him.(By holding Then when you character glows press 'A'.) You should have enough jump to make it onto the platform above you, skipping the annoying key part.Get 1up very Easly:
After Climbing the vine in world 1-1 (in the cave) Instead of picking up any plant, pick up the one closest to the jinx. It's a big plant making it easier to kill the jinx for the 1up.The Big Long Jump:
Chose Luigi or Peach for world 4-3. Then go out of the tunnel and jump on one of birdo's eggs. You'll end up across the lake. Then jump onto the platform with a ton of tweeters. Now run and jump to the right. You'll end up landing at the end of the platform and at the end of the level!Shortcut to Birdo First:
Go to level 1-1. Go into the cave and climb up the vine. Then jump across the gap with the waterfall to the blue shy guy. Throw him off so he doesn't get in your way. Then pick up a bomb from either plant on your screen. When it's about to explode throw it at the rocks blocking the door. If you timed it right you can go through the door, go through it. After that jump on the top ledge. Then jump to the top of the screen. Keep walking to the left until you fall. If you do this correctly you should be on the Birdo Stage!
