Hint: Change view

Press Select during game to switch from center to edge view. Hold Up or Down to move camera up or down.

Hint: Compose Your Own Music

You can compose music using the Toadstools in the secret room (see the Round Table code)! Have you noticed the gibberish in front of the "Thank You!" words in the letter from Peach that comes up when you start the game (only if you have beaten world 8 in Original mode.) That mass of letters and symbols is the music that plays! You can compose your own music, too! All it takes is a miniscule understanding of music. Go to the Toad that is just to the right of Peach, or go to peach. Go to the ENTER text mode. Switch from the text to the symbols( by clicking the green ABC), then put down a note (quarter, eigth, or sixteenth). Then enter capital letters, A-G to make notes. After you enter a letter, add an UP or DOWN symbol (to change octaves) or a # (sharp.) Periods (.) make rests. Here's an example, the Star Wars Theme: (hi-D = D with an UP arrow, lo-D = D with a DOWN arrow, . is a rest.) [EIGTH] DDD [QUARTER] G . hi-D . [EIGTH] hi-C B A [QUARTER] hi-G . hi-D . [EIGTH] hi-C B A [QUARTER] hi-G . hi-D . [EIGTH] hi-C B hi-C [QUARTER] A . lo-G . Now select END and press START to hear your music!

Hint: Play as Luigi

Press Select at the map screen.

Hint: Quick and Easy Unlimited Lives

Original Mario Bros.
In world 3-1, go to the end of the stage where the stair case to the flagpoll is. Let the first turtle walk down all the way, but stay on the staircase. Next, stand as close to the block as possible, and when the next turtle walks on the block your facing, jump lightly and you should instantly continuously bounce on the turtle giving you mega points and eventually give you unlimited lives. You can get up to 127 lives this way.
Lost Levels.
On level 1-1, hit the second block to the left to get the first mushroom of the game to come out, being careful not to hit the turtle walking there. Next, get the mushroom, power up and go back underneath the turtle and the blocks. Time this jump and break the block so the turtle is trapped on the right, walking back and forth, left and right from the edge of the block it's walking on and the block it can't walk through. Then, break the block left of the used powerup block, jump up, break the blocks above you all except for the one above the turtle walking back and forth. Jump against that, so that you land on the turtle and you'll bouncing continuously giving you again, mega points and eventually 1-ups until you get 127 lives.

Hint: Race the Black Boo

To race the black boo in the "You Vs. Boo" mode, race the normal boo, get to the end of the race before the boo and hit the flag dead on. This will not work if you hit the pole either above or below the flag. The option of racing the black boo will only be activated in that level and can be deactivated the same way you activated it, by hitting the flag dead on before the boo reaches it.

Hint: Reveal Yoshi egg locations in Challenge mode

Locate a Yoshi egg, then select Yoshi's head in the toy box.

Hint: The Round Table

Beat the first four levels (the first world) and then go to the toy box. There will be a little hole in the wall in the lower left corner. Enter it, and you will see a round table. Each time you beat a world 1-7, a new Toadstool guy will appear, and the princess appears after you beat world 8. The Toads let you print things! If you go to Peach, you can change the message that appears when you start up the game (now that you have beaten world 8.)

Hint: Unlimited points

Kick the first turtle shell to the right in stage 3-2. Immediately run after the shell. It will run into enemies and earn an increasing number points as it goes. After it nets a 1-Up, let the shell hit your character and repeat for the desired points.

Hint: View fireworks

Successfully complete a level with a time that ends in a 1, 3, or 6.

Hint: Warp Zone

On any levels that have one block roofs break through them or go on lifts to get on top of them. Play the whole level on top of the roofs to the VERY end of the roofs. At the end there will be one or more tubes which will warp you to the level shown.

Hint: Warp to Levels 2, 3, or 4

On stage 1-3 on the second system of lifts (after the red turtle), ride the lifts to the top of the stage and jump onto the top row of bricks. Run along these until you come to a pipe room and go down whichever pipe you want.

Hint: Warp to Levels 6, 7 or 8

On the level 4-2 go stand on the right side of the first falling platforms. Stand underneath the three blocks. Jump up and there will be hidden blocks. Climb on those blocks and hit the left block of the three. A beanstalk will appear. Climb it. You will now be in mushroom land with tons of coins! When you finish this small level, which has no enemies, you will come to a warp zone, where you'll have the chance to warp to the levels 6, 7, or 8.
