Powerups in World 2-5
In 2-5, grab Yoshi.
He's toward the beginning of the level. Then, eat the snowmen things (I think
they're called Pokies) when they look like peaches - when the music goes
"dah." You can get a powerup! I discovered this while i was thinking:
"If you eat 5 peaches with Yoshi, you get a powerup. And those snowman
things look like peaches when the music goes "dah!"" I
wondered if there was a relationship, and it turns out, there was!
A
Dumb Way to Avoid Doing Levels
Want to not do a
level. Die 7, 8 or 9 times to make a Luigi demo do the work for ya! At the end
of the level it will ask you if you want to try it with Mario or skip it
because Luigi did it. Push skip it. The board will still be red but it will not
be flashing. You can skip right past it. NOTE:It will not be allowed on
multiplayer mode, only single player mode.
Play
as Luigion any level
When watching a
demo, stop playing the demo. You'll play as Luigi until you beat the level.
Secret
pipes in 1-1
In 1-1 where there
are the spinning circles somewhere after or before the checkpoint so some of
those circles have an underground pipe if you go into the wall and i think one
of the pipes has a star coin.
Infinite
1ups in world 2-3
You start at the
long pair of 3 coin ? blocks with a propeller box on the mushroom ground and
just fly and land and fly in a row on the goombas and those green fat coin
givers when you kill them.
Super
screw ups
After world nine
there are more levels this is how to get it in the last level of world 9 at the
end use a yoshi to go up to the pipe and go up it.
Yoshi's
Island series reference
After defeating the
Koopa Kids once, Kamek casts a spell to make them tougher for the rematch. In
Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island DS, he also cast spells
on those Bosses that made them tougher.
Super
Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario Galaxy reference
During the
introduction sequence, you can see Bowser Jr. and the other Koopalings leave
after kidnapping Princess Peach and taking off in an airship from Super Mario
Bros. 3 and Super Mario Galaxy.
Super
Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. references
Reach the goal with
a time of 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, or 99 to see from one to nine
fireworks.
99
lives
(only works with
multi-player) Go to world 4 to the last castle. When you get to the large fence
whith koopas on it, have one player constantly banging on the fence, and
another with the ice flower juping and trying to freeze a koopa. This has to be
done at the same time. To the effect of this, infinite coins will fall out of
the frozen koopa. note: there is no ice flower on this level, so you will have
to get one from your inventory. note note: this glitch will work, it is not a
hoax.
