Warp zone
On any level with horizontal bars going from the top of the screen to the bottom and bars going the other way after them, ride the bars going up until you get to the top. Then, hop onto the bricks to the right and fall down. You will be in the warp zone. Go down any pipe to get to a different level. Each pipe is a different level.
Get 127 lives
Go to level 3-1 and locate the two Koopa Troopas at the end stairway. Jump on the second Troopa to trap it against the stairway. Repeatedly jump on it until 127 lives are collected.
Go to star level 7-1. At the end, before you jump on the flag, when the hard enemies with the shells are approaching jump on one of the steps ahead of them. Then, jump once in one of them. You will continue to jump. Do not stop, as this will discontinue you getting lives.
Start a new game and go to Fortune Telling for 5-up Card for a total of ten lives. Start on level 1-1 and play through to level 1-2 where the coins are located. Go through that, but before leaving that room, jump to the top to enter the warp. Warp to level 3-1 and play through to level 3-2. Start on level 3-2 by jumping on the first turtle. Run with it for points and a 1-up and do same with second turtle until you have reached the point where the star and turtle are between the wall. Get the star to kill the turtle and get all the coins up to that point. Repeat until you have the desired amount of lives.
Hidden mushroom
In level 8-2, there is a hidden mushroom in the jumper thing.
Advance to level 5-1
Go to level 4-2 get at the end of the level. Note: It helps if you are big. Jump on the pipe, but not when the plant is up. When you are on the pipe, jump and break the brick ceiling. Jump through the opening and walk to the right. If you are in challenge mode, you will enter another room. If you are in original 1985 mode, you will enter a room with a pipe. Jump on it and press [Down] to go to level 5-1.
Go to level 4-2. Proceed through the level and find the mushroom that makes you grow. Then, break the top block thing, which is like a ceiling, and run on top of there until you reach the end. You will now have access to level 5.
Level 8-2 gap
In original mode, after the second pipe there are two small ledges and one big gap. In order to cross the gap, stand on the pipe and press [B] while running forward. You will automatically step onto the second ledge. Without stopping, press [A] to jump the gap. This works with regular Mario, or Luigi or Super Mario and Luigi.
Easy points
Use the "Extra lives" trick to start with at least 10 lives. Play until reaching level 3-2. At the beginning, hit the turtle shell and follow it until it hits all the enemies. You should get at least 20,000 points and an extra life. Repeat this until reaching 300,000 points to race Boo or play the Lost Levels.
Go to world 5-1 and a Koopa will be the first thing you see. Kill it and kick it forward. Follow it until you hear an extra life sound. Do not jump. Doing this will not take away lives.
Alternate Boo colors
Beat the White Boo's record to make Boo turn green. Repeat this to make the green Boo turn pink.
