Play as Luigi

Complete the game by beating Bowser in World 6 to be able to play as Luigi in the game's Single-Player mode. Then, at the 'File' select screen hold down the L and R buttons while selecting a file with the A button. If done correctly Luigi will be your selected character.


Unlock Another New Title Screen

When you get 9,999,999 coins maxing the coin counter you will unlock an alternate 'Title' screen where the Mario statue will now be a Tanooki Mario Statue.


Unlock Unlimited Mushroom House Use

When you have successfully completed the Star World you will gain unlimited Mushroom House use.


Unlock Alternate Title Screen

If you collect 1 million coins a title screen featuring a gold Mario surrounded by plenty of coins will become unlocked.


Lose Mario's Hat

Mario will no longer wear his hat during gameplay when you reach Triple Crown lives (1,110 lives).


Infinite Lives

As in Mario on the NES you go to the first Star Coin in Mushroom World - Level 1 and then stand on top of the stairs. When the Noko Noko appears, go down to the second or third step. Once the Noko Noko reaches you, jump (not stomp) on it. If done correctly the Noko Noko will bounce off the wall, but Mario will keep jumping on it. Note: If you try this as Golden Mario, the Noko Noko will disappear after 25 hits.


Star Coin Locations

Check out the video below if you need help finding the location of ALL 240 Star Coins.

Secret Rainbow Levels

To get access to the secret rainbow levels, you have to jump on the flagpole when the timer shows the correct time. If done correctly you will hear the original NES world cleared music followed by fireworks and a rainbow. When you return to the world map the entrance to the secret rainbow level will appear at the entry point of each world on the far left. Secret rainbow levels contain no enemies but plenty of coins and eventually golden flower power-ups.

Secret Rainbow Level in World 1:

Jump on the flagpole when the timer ends with 11.

Secret Rainbow Level in World 2:

Jump on the flagpole when the timer ends with 22.

Go to world 2-4 as racoon mario, and go to the yellow pipe(the one near the 2 star coin) that leads to the room with 2 pipes and a gold ring.Wait until there is alot of goombas on the sreen and jump on them WITHOUT touching the ground and you would soon get points then 1 ups.WACTH THE TIMER AND MAKE SURE YOU COMPLETE THE LEVEL.If you do not understand please go to this link.(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FOha1h4dmI) My frind code is 5300-8377-3402


How to get mushroom world

Go to world 1 mini-castle. A little bit after the checkpoint, go into a door with a cross on it. Instead of going into the other door with a cross on it, in the other room, go into the hole in the middle of the wall on the right. There should be a flag somewhere near. Once you land on the flag and have completed it, a path to a cannon should appear. Do the cannon and you should be in world mushroom.


Tons of Lives!!!

All you have to do is go to world 1 level 4 and if you jump in the right place at the beggining of the level a box will appear and out of the box will come a 1up, once you find this, KILL your character, after repeating this process ~5 times a white racoon hat(assist box) will apear, again get the 1up and then instead of killing yourself, play the level(PS. Your Invincible) you should a couple lives through the level and if you run and fly at the flagpole to get to the top and you will get another 1up, etc... Do this again and again until you have the desired amount of lives.


Lots Of Coins

Go to World 2-4 as Gold Mario and go into that pipe under the Pokey and bounce on the Goombas to get lots of coins!

HINT: Hit the Gold Ring for double points!


Easy Lives (skill required)

Go to a star house and get a gold flower in your item pocket. Then go to W2-4 and use the random block. If you got a gold flower, good. If you didn't that is o.k. Too.

Go to the second hill of pass-through platforms and find a gold pipe next to a Pokey. Go and use the gold flower if you didnt get one earlier. Jump on the first goomba and hit the gold ring. Then jump on 4 goombas without touching the floor, then for every goomba you jump on untl you fall, or the gold ring wears off, you get a 1-up. My best record is 7 1-ups.


Playing as luigi

On main menu press solo play when you are on the profile menu hold the L and R buttons till your profile is loaded this will make you play as luigi


Star man for item

Get all star coins and spend them you should have 9 left go to star world theres a new toad house which is gold you might think it's a gold flower but it's a star so you can turn into star man
