-Mushroom houses at start of each world

The mushroom houses at the start of each world (the point with an 

arrow at the start) differ determining on the time you get on a 

stage. 



If you get x11, x22, x33 on the timer, a Red Mushroom house 

appears, which generates items.

If you get x44, x55, x66 on the timer, a Green Mushroom house 

appears, which is a 1up minigame.

If you get x77, x88, x99 on the timer, a Orange Mushroom house 

appears, which lets you gain a Mega Mushroom into your inventory, 

thus overriding anything in it.



-Original Mario Bros theme and fireworks

If you beat a level with a time left of x11, x22, x33, or x44 you 

get fireworks and the original mario level completion song will 

play.



-Save file star icons

You can unlock star icons by your save file for completing specific 

in-game tasks.



You can unlock up to 3 star icons by doing the following:



Beating the last boss.

Completing all world maps. (Playing all levels and finding all 

secret exits)

Spending all star coins.





-Extra Lives at Flagpoles

As you may know, jumping onto the flagpole at the stage's end will 

net you some points (up to 8000). In this game, if you somehow 

manage to jump high enough and land on the very top of the 

flagpole, you will automatically receive a 1-Up.



-Skip from world 1 to world 5

Go to the tower in world 1 with the blue shell power-up. Get to the 

first pipe that shoots you up into the air. On your way back down, 

there is a gold door. Go in it. There will be a bunch of randomly 

moving platforms. On the right, there is a gap that always stays 

the same size. Go through here. Next, you will see three blocks. 

Use the blue shell ability to break them all, then break the last 

3 after that. Go through to the right and finish the level. Now you 

will unlock the world 1 cannon, which will blast you to world 5!!



-Skip from World 5 to 8

You must unlock the World 5 Cannon to travel from World 5 to 8. 

To unlock the cannon enter the World 5 Ghost House. Get a Mushroom 

from the blocks. Now, keep advancing up the stairs untill you get 

to a place with 3 brick blocks on the left side of the screen. 

Stand on top of them and jump, to reveal 3 invisible blocks. Now 

wall jump on the left side to get on top of them. Stand on the 

middle raised block and duck. Jump, to reveal a block with vine in 

it. Climb up the vine and a Boxing Ghost will see you. Once he 

breaks out, jump off the vine to avoid taking damage from the 

Ghost. Kill it and climb back up, and enter the door. Kill the two 

Walking Pumpkins and stand in the middle. The platform will wobble 

and as long as you stay in the center you should be ok. When it 

reaches the top, exit and Jump on the flag pole. A path will open 

to the cannon on the World Map. Enter and use the cannon to get to 

world 8, the last World.



-Warp from World 2 to World 5

In Secret Level 2-A, there is a secret exit to the level that will 

get you access to the warp cannon in World 2. Near the end of the 

level, there is one last spin jump platform you need to use to 

reach the final star coin. Instead of stopping once you get the 

last star coin, continue falling to the right and hit the jump 

button at the same time you land on the red turtle on the final 

platform. This will give you enough jump height to reach the 

platform with the pipe up above you in the little alcove. 

Go through the pipe and exit the level via the red flag.
