P-Wing Help

If you are struggling to the extent that you have died 10 times, you will be given a P-Wing to take you to the end of the level. You obviously don't have to use it if you want to keep going on your own.

1-Up on the Flagpole

Warp to World 2

There is a free warp to world 2 that you can access while playing through World 1-2.

Once passed the halfway flag, jump onto the coin blocks and you should be able to find a ledge up high to reach.

Head to the right along the ledge to locate the orange pipe leading to World 2.

Sandbox Level

If you leave the game inactive on the title screen and wait for the demo footage of a level to finish, you will be warped to a sandbox level, where you can jump around and practice your moves with no restrictions.

1,000 Lives

Once you get 1,000 lives saved up (good luck with that!) you will hear some warm applause. If you get to 1,110 lives, some neat additions occur to Mario and Luigi.

Super Mario and Luigi will no longer have a hat, while Little Mario and Little Luigi get hats!

Warp to World 5

While playing through World 4-2, there is a warp pipe to allow you to skip to World 5.

When you are jumping up the shaft using the bouncing platforms, use the last one to jump to the left into a narrower opening - tilt it to the left to do this. Use your wall jump technique to go up and to the right in this shaft.

Continue on to the right and you will come to an orange pipe, which takes you to World 5.

Infinite 1-Ups

On World 1-2, having passed the checkpoint flag, you will see a trio of koopa troopas and another three coin rows.

If you stand on the first row of coins that is on the floor, and walk onto the koopa below as it comes beneath the coin block. You should be able to bounce up and down off the koopa to get infinite 1-ups in this fashion - at least with practice.

Secret room

In world 5-2 there will be a section where there is a spinning spikey thing with two exits. Take the exit that isn't green and you will appear in a room with a gate. If you change into fire Mario and light the torches in each corner of the room (jump up and shoot them) then the gate will open, followed by the puzzle music from the legend of Zelda! On the other side is a star coin that most people are unlikely to find!
