New Super Mario Bros. Cheats for the Wii

Find a Baby Yoshi

If you are able to find a Baby Yoshi on the World Map it will follow you into the next course you select. You will find having a Baby Yoshi useful as they have special skills that you will be able to use to help reach tough places and light up passages. Baby Yoshi's however will not follow you into towers or castles.

Collect Star Coins

Each of the courses in New Super Mario Bros. contains three Star Coins and it is worth your while to collect them as you make your way to the Goal Pole at the end of the course as collecting all three Star Coins will unlock a level in World 9 corresponding to that world number's. Collecting all three Star Coins on a level will also unlock the Hint movie for that particular level.

Mushroom Houses

In a level with a white Toad marker, listen for Toad when the level begins, then break the '?' block that he is inside to free him. When you then reach the end of the level a mushroom house will appear. Depending on the last number of the timer when you collected the flag at the end of the level will determine which one of the following types of mushroom house with a mini-game or reward will appear:

- Green Mushroom House with 1-Up Cannon Mini-Game:

Last number of the timer is 0, 1, 2 or 3.

- Red Mushroom House with Match Mini-Game:

Last number of the timer is 4, 5 or 6.

- Gold House with Star reward:

Last number of the timer is 7, 8 or 9.

Infinite Toad House Items

If you complete all the stages, including the lettered bonus stages, then load the saved game file you will find that the Toad Houses will no longer disappear after you take the items. The only exception are the Toad Houses that appear based on your timer when you finish a stage.

Get Extra Lives

While you are riding on a Yoshi you will be able to get extra lives by jumping on the bullets seven or eight times. You can also get extra lives by killing eight enemies while using a star to get an extra life. If you are fast enough you can keep doing this until the star runs out.

Save Option

Once you have completed the game a 'Save' option will replace the 'Quick Save' option and you will now be able to save anywhere on the map.

Super Guide Mode

If you intentionally fail a level eight times in New Super Mario Bros. you will be able to hit a green 'Super Guide' block marked with a '!' in the level that will set the game on auto-pilot, and Luigi will automatically complete the level for you. This feature is not available in World 9.

Most of you might already know this, but I didn't and neither did my brother so I thought I'd post it anyway.
You need at least 2 people to do this.
Start a level.
Get both players to ground pound at the EXACT same time.
If done correctly, it will cause a shockwave and a ping sound that will kill all enemies on the screen that are on the gound.

Here is an easy way to get 99 lives.

Step 1:Go into World 1-1.
Step 2:Get every coin that you see. Also, go into all of the pipes.(Not the spinning one at the end though!)
Step 3:Get the Red Ring at the top of the level and get one 1-up.
Step 4:When you get to the spinning pipe close to the end of the level, wait for the pipe to show. Get into the space where the pipe is but don't go down the pipe.Just wait for lots of coins to show. There will be 3 empty spaces where invisible ? Boxes are.Hit them. There will be a 1-Up in every box. Plus the coins you get about 4 1-Ups just from that!
Step 5:Finish the level by getting a 1-Up at the top of the flag.
Step 6: Repeat over and over and over again untill you have 99 li..

First you have to get this level unlocked by getting the secret exit in the level 7-Tower. Then you can go into this level. The yoshi is at the first platform that you start on. It will be in a box {a brick one} that is hidden in a cloud.It is just a glob of clouds near the bottom of the screen.Just spin and you will see it.

P.S. This might really help you!

Head to world 2-3. When you get to the yellow block pyramids with the fire caterpillars, on the top of one of of the pyramids is a secret tunnel to the left. Go into it and you'll notice a bunch of spiky shell creatures on some bricks. If you have a teammate, do the groundpound (jump and down on the d-pad) at the same time. All creatures should die and you should get 6 lives from it. Continue as many times as desired.

#1 In the part with the green pipe with a Piranha Plant, and a yellow pipe next to it. Walk right and you'll find out the yellow pipe is actually made of two pipes. Go through the one you're standing on.
#2 As mini (NOT SMALL) Mario you can walk through some of the horizontal pipes. In one there's a secret warp if you walk!

When you get to world 2-5. I grab Yoshi and head to the area between the third and fourth PALM tree. You will come across Lakito throwing spiny turtles at you. Grab one into Yoshi's mouth and get closer to the fourth palm tree and have him spit it out between the two blocks that are on the ground then jump onto the bricks above this area and wait for lakito to continue throwing his spiny turtles.( it should now be ricocheting between these blocks) Of course you have to wait for the points to add up but when you get on the fifth turtle, the FREE men begin. Use caution while doing this Lakitos aim has gotten better. And yes you will have to dodge his throws. You also have to wait for the time to run out or you will have to end the level or die for the men to count. And you don't get more t..

When you are playing super mario bros wii how do you get to hold onto other players feet while they fly with the flying hat power

When you have 99 lifes Mario is hatless. Don't know if Luigi goes hatless too or what happens to toads

Right away when you enter the ghost house of world 4 go left into a fake wall then jump to reveal a hidden block with a star. Then you can run through all the boos and little mousers, making the first part a lot easier.

In 1-1 you walk to the second tube in game and do not go down instead just sit there then you will see a secret place right there then jump and you got it

Hope it helps

Ok, Die in a level 8 times and the game will give you the option to turn on an "Auto Pilot" mode in which Mario completes the level on his own. This appears as a green Super Guide block (with a ! On it) in the the level. Hit it to activate the mode and you'll be able to watch Luigi finish the level for you.
Performing special actions will award you stars on your save file. Here are the stars you can earn:
Star 1 - Beat the game (you can use Warp Cannons)
Star 2 - Collect all 24 Star Coins in World 9
Star 3 - Beat every "normal" level in the game,i.e., you don't need to find Secret Goals.

When you listen to the song on lvl 1 (or any level on world 1)when the song goes 'dun!!' look at a koopa he'll dance along with the 'dun!!' and goombas just jump.Its LOL!! Funny!!

If you get near a shell and then hold 1 and shake the wii remote you can block things from your head (bombs)

Get a shell, bring it to one of those stair locking things that lead to a flag, drop the shell, and keep jumping on it! You'll instintly get coins every time you jump on it and it goes back and forth!

If you come in to fight bowser with a propeller(first time) just propell over bowser's head and hit the switch,easy.

on the frist level near the ground where the big spinn[quote][/quote] ing ground thing get in the shaft but do not go down the tube let it carry you in side the hill there you will fide a but load of coins but there is a spot with three coins should be go under them and jump and and a green shroom will come out hit all three and you get three lives

-Enter course 3-2.
-Then go the first turtle that is throwing snowballs.
-Kill that turtle.
-Go back and grab a shell
-Carry the shell to the right until you reach the goombas in between two cannons.
-Make sure that you don't lose the shell. Jump onto the first block above you.
-Throw the shell
-Watch the Lives rack up.
This should only take one session if you can speed run the rest of the level without dying.

In order to play as mario with no hat you have to get x99 lives (outrageus if you ask me!).

on world 1 try with all the levels to finish with yoshi then you will get the cannon to world 5

If you need a Fire Flower, do this:
With 2 players, go to 1-1. The player you DO NOT want to have a fire flower needs to have a propeller shroom. The one you DO want to have a fire flower just needs to have an ordinary mushroom. Make the mushroom player hold on to the one with the propeller. Go through the level(see note) until the ? Block with the ring near it. Go on the block, then shake the wii remote and go through the ring. Then get all 8 coins. Throw the propeller mushroom person away from the mushroom player. The mushroom player wil get a fire flower.(tested and works)
(Note: Shake and 1 to pick up, hold down 1 while moving)

ok in world 1-3 you need to get yoshi without killing a goumba or turtle then as soon as u get to that second hammer throwing turtle eat the flower, then when u get to the three flowers eat the ones that are taller than the one on the bottom, then when u get to the fire flower swallow it but dont spit it out, then u have to go to the beginning of the level and spit it out then follow it dont lose it just keep following it then when u get to then end just jump on the flag then u will have goton alot a lives.

First you need to go to world 1-2 and go right passed the checkpoint and ground slam those bricks and smash the goomba then hit that brick and a super star will come out jump out of the hole and get it then you have to run into every enemy and you can also go to worlds 1 through 5 to get infinite

In 8-2 you will see orange tiles (stuff you can walk on and jump through)next to it a fake wall.(the ground level will be raised over it)walk over it then go through it.you will see you are under the orange tiles.keep walking left to go through another fake wall. You will see a tube.go down it and when you are keep walking and find the red flag.then you unlock 8-7

Just lose all your lives on purpose, then all the Mushroom Houses will come back up. Repeat this process to get heaps of free items and beat a level you are having difficulty with.

Go to the first level of the game 1-1,and then you can get propeller mushrooms!!!
