Ending sequence camera:
After completing the game, use the Analog-stick on controller two to control the camera in the
scene featuring Mario and the Princess. The camera is also controllable on the Credits screen.
One-up butterflies:
Butterflies may appear on courses 2, 12, and 13. Punch the butterflies to turn them into round
black bombs that will chase Mario. The bombs will explode or turn into one-up mushrooms.
One-up tree:
Go outside the castle, near the waterfall. Climb the third tree from the waterfall. Do a handstand
on top of the tree to get a one-up. Enter the castle's first floor. Then, return outside and climb the
same tree. Do another handstand for another one-up. Repeat the trick as needed.
One-ups in third Bowser battle:
Walk behind the top left pillar to collect a 1-Up if you lose a life during the battle.
Thousand coin unlimited lives (Japanese version):
During the first fight with Bowser, avoid him and collect all the coins that appear. After a
considerable amount of time, you should be able to collect 1000 coins. At this point, a green "M"
will appear next to the number of lives remaining. From this point on, when a life is lost, the
number of lives increases. The reverse is also true - gaining lives will actually lower the number of
lives remaining. The cheat will end if the number of lives reaches zero, such as when Yoshi gives
Mario 100 lives after obtaining 120 stars. The North American version only allows 999 coins to
be collected.
Very big penguin:
Obtain all 120 stars and return to Course 4 (Cool, Cool Mountain). Before entering, select the
Big Penguin Race. Begin game play and jump into the chimney of the house at the beginning of the
level. The penguin will be even larger than before.
Yoshi:
Obtain all 120 stars and go outside the castle. Climb inside the cannon opening that is now located
where the grating was near the Fish Pond. Aim to land Mario onto the roof, where he will meet
Yoshi. He will speak to Mario, award a 100 life bonus and a triple-jump move, and quickly leave.
Alternate Bowser message:
Obtain all 120 stars and return to the final fight with Bowser to see a different message.
