| Glitches | 75% | |
| These are a few glitches I have 'found' over my time in the game. ~Green Fire~ Go into Toad's House as Fire Mario/Luigi. Try to shoot. The fire that comes out will be green. Cool, eh? ~Cool Down Bowser~ A tip for beating Bowser- If you get to the battle Raccoon or Tanooki Mario with a Magic Wing (The thing that looks like a wing with a 'P' on it), fly above the right wall. Go left to the edge, and then drop down by our Koopa King and BRAWL! But, unlike in original fist-fights with this beast, he won't be able to toast you! He won't be able to breathe fire. ~White Blocks~ Any white blocks in levels enable you to go behind the scenery and into the background. Beware, though, that going behind here does not protect you from the enemies in the world. This is also the way you get the Warp Whistle in World 1-3. Have Fun! | ||

| How to Max Out your lives | 75% | |
| This trick is taken out of the first mario game but modified for those who never learned the turtle shell trick. here are the steps. Step 1: when starting the second level in the first world (1-2), make sure you are Raccoon Mario, if not just find the item. This also works with the flying P. Step 2: go to the first pipe that you see goombas coming out of and jump on the jumping goomba. Step 3: when the last goomba falls out of the pipe, start jumping on them and keep pressing the A button to slow your descent down. Step 4: once you hit 8,000 points, you start earning one ups for every goomba that you hit and if your lucky you might be able to earn 30 or so lives in just the 300 seconds time limit. Warning: IF YOU TOUCH THE GROUND YOU HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN. | ||
