***Secrets***

 

STAGE SECRETS:

NOTE: There are many winged clouds that contain stars, but I have failed to mention all but a few of their locations. The reason is that there is far too many of them and that they aren’t all that useful. The ones I did note are the ones that can be of a great help.

 

1-2: Look Out Below

1 UP: Don’t get the helicopter, instead jump off the edge. Run all the way right across the bottom. Right at the very end a winged cloud will appear. Break it and get your life. 

 

1-3: The Cave of Chomp Rock

1 UP: Right at the very start don’t go down the tube, instead destroy the right piranha plant. Go where the plant was to reveal a winged cloud. Hit the cloud to get a life.

 

1 UP: There is a part where one of the sunflowers is encased in the breakable cement stuff, to the left there is another patch of cement. Fire an egg in the top left corner to get the life.

 

COINS: There is a part with three posts right before the end of the cave section of the stage. The first post, or closest post when stomped on will reveal a winged cloud. Hit the cloud to reveal a switch. Hit the switch and a warp will appear between the other two posts.

 

1-4: Burt the Bashful’s fort

COINS: Above the very first flower is a ledge. Look up at the ceiling tiles one of them is cracked. Use an egg to break the tile. Jump up into the ceiling. Travel both right and left and you will get 112 coins. There are many broken tiles in this section of the stage so you can break them anywhere you’d like and fall down.

 

1-6: Shy Guys On Stilts

1-UP: At the beginning there is a trampoline arrow thing pointing up. Jump on it and hold “right”. You’ll be on top of this ledge. Just go a little right and you will reveal the winged cloud. Hit the cloud to get a free life.

 

1-7: Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

RED COINS: Jump on top the tip of a log (it’s just before the end of the stage) and an arrow will appear. Bounce on the arrow. Move the boulder right to reveal a winged cloud. Hit the cloud to make a sunflower grow. Climb to the top and get the coins.

 

1-8: Salvo the Slime’s Castle 

1 UP: Right after the key door, use the spinning arrow to get to the first landing. Fire an egg in the left corner to reveal a winged cloud. Fire another one to get a life.

 

1 UP: Above Salvo The Slime’s door is a winged cloud. Hit it to reveal a switch. Hit the switch, drop down below the door and go down the warp. Hit the message box for the winged clouds location or you could just fire an egg in the top left corner of the room.

 

2-1: Visit Koopa and Para Koopa

1 UP x 7/ COINS: Go passed the middle-ring. Stand where the direction arrow is and fire an egg directly up. Hit the cloud to get a switch. Hit the switch and stomp to make the flower wither and lose its petals. Go down the warp, which is where the flower was. Now there are 7 lives to get, but it’s not easy. Hover to the right to get as many lives as you can before you land in the lava.

 

2-3: What’s Gusty’s Taste Like?

COINS: Right at the start of the level there are three suspended cement blocks. Shoot the third one with an egg in the centre from the ground. Shoot it again to get the switch.  Hit the switch to get the coins.

 

1 UP/COINS: Morph into the Mole Tank and go down the hole to your left. Do this by holding “left” and “a”. Keep holding these buttons and the mole will lead you to the 1 UP and all the coins. NOTE: You should probably do this after you get the bonus room key.

 

RED COINS: In the underground section of the stage there is a room with the breakable cement stuff. Break the cement that leads to the small space in the far left. Break the cement just above their to get the switch. Hit the switch and go down the warp that appears in that space to your left. You have to hit naval with eggs if he ascends from the water.

 

BABY MARIO: During the underground portion of this stage you fall on a shooting star. You can’t avoid getting hit by it. Run down the hill. Come back to where the shooting star was. Do not touch the star. Instead wait until it frees itself from the corner it’s in. Let it follow you down the hill as far as it will go. Let it hit you once it starts going back up the hill. Quickly run down the rest of the hill and head right. You can make it all the way to the end of the stage as baby Mario if you are quick enough.

 

2-4: Bigger Boo’s Fort

1 UP: At the part of the stage with the moving floors, go left behind the warp. You’ll find a winged cloud. Hit it with an egg to get a life.

 

FLOWER/COINS: There is a section (just after the moving floor section) where you can’t get to a door. Look at the roof. One of the tiles is cracked. So break it with an egg and go up on the roof. Go left to get to the door. In the room, fire 3 eggs at one of the two balloon-like ghosts. They die and a switch appears. Hit it and get the coins and use the switch bricks to reach the flower.

COINS: From the middle ring look up. You’ll see a small piece of cement. Fire an egg at it. Climb the Sun Flower. Jump on the highest part. Hover right until you land on top of an “o” shaped cement block. There are 3 of these “o” shaped blocks. The centre one contains a winged cloud. Fire an egg at it, break the ground beneath it and jump on it. Go down the warp.

 

1 UP: There are 3 stumps beside each other. The centre stump has a cactus guy on it. Hit the cactus guy with an egg. Watch out cause he comes flying towards you. Stomp the pegs down to reveal a winged cloud. Hit the cloud to get a life.

1 UP: In the falling brick section of the stage, jump to the left of the exit warp to reveal a winged cloud. Hit the cloud to get a life.

 

FLOWER/COINS: You might or might not notice that there are some clouds that aren’t part of the background. Well use the arrow trampoline and jump right to get on one. Follow the clouds all the way left until you get to some grass. Reveal a winged cloud, which is just at the edge of this platform area. Hit it with an egg to reveal a switch. Jump on the switch and go down the warp. Inside the 3rd hole away from you contains the sunflower.

 

1 UP: There is a room with a starflower (one of the flowers that you put something in to get stars), pound the right (very long) peg all the way to the ground. When you do this a winged cloud appears. Hit it to get a free life.

Hit the cloud and get a switch. Hit the switch and go down the warp. NOTE: Read the message box and also, this brings you all the way to the middle-ring! I wouldn’t activate the middle-ring just yet; I’d go left and get the stuff I missed first.

Lour that monkey till he’s in a good enough spot to jump off to get on the roof.

 

3-5: Jammin’ through the trees

COIN/5x1UP: There is a part on the stage where you are jumping from palm treetop to palm treetop. Drop down between the treetops and hover down slowly. You’ll see that there are palm trees down there. Go left until you reach a wall. It’s and invisible warp just push up against it. You’ll enter an area with many free lives and coins. Just throw an egg where the arrow points, and hit the winged cloud. Press the switch button and stay on the green ledge.

 

1 UP: There is a part on the stage where you have to steal a watermelon from a monkey to get a flower. To the left (below the monkey with the melon) there are 4 red coins. Look to the right and fire an egg in the little crack. Once revealed hit it again to get a life.

Blow the bubbles back out to the left of the 2 posts and jump on the ledge. Next hover right towards the posts.

 

COINS/RED COINS/FLOWER/1 UP: Hit a winged cloud that is between 2 monkeys hanging from equal level vines above shallow water. A seed will fall and a flower will grow. Climb the flower. NOTE: you can reach the entrance by jumping off the trampoline to your left and hovering right.

 

1 UP: At the end of the stage you’ll see a winged cloud between two giant rocks above one of those giant fish. You could get this 2 ways. 1: Aim up and hold the aim by pressing “R” or “L” and then hover over it avoiding the fish. 2: Or, you could peg down all the pegs right to the end and right at the end hit the winged cloud, which will make a platform cover the water section so that the fish can’t eat you.

 

 4-1: Go! Go! Mario

1 UP: Go to the ending, but don’t jump through the circle, instead follow the ground to your left. There is a hole at the end, jump down and break the springy platform with your hammer move and then there is a secret winged cloud, break it and get a free life.

 

1 UP: Go down the warp beside the green plant piranha. Shoot an egg down the very last pit. You’ll reveal a winged cloud. Hit the cloud with another egg and you’ll get a life.

 

# UP: I got 5 lives by doing this, you could probably get more: Kill the second plant piranha. Kill nothing else, but the 2 goombas right at the start for ammunition. Go back to the start and jump on the koopa troopa. Take his shell and eat him too if you want. Now jump on the koopa paratroopas to knock their wings off. They’ll fall to the ground. Fire the shell at them. Follow the shell. It will plough through everything and if you listen the musical note it makes when it hits them goes up the scale until finally you get 1 Up. After that point anything else the shell hits will get you 1 Up.

 

4-2: The Cave of The Lakitu’s

1 UP: At the beginning of the stage hit the left most piranha plant with an egg. Go down the warp it is on. Grab the yellow egg; there will be a spinning arrow just above you soon. See it? Fire an egg at the arrow when it is just about to aim at the shell.

 

1 UP: There is a part where you need to throw an egg up and hit a koopa troopa so that it gets the flower…you don’t need to do that at all. Go left to the switch button. Hit the switch button and hover right over the ledge with the koopa troopa. Now, just hit the koopa troopa left down the left side to get the 1 Up, and then go right and get the sunflower. NOTE: You are going to want to do this after you have already used the switch!

 

4-3: Don’t Look Back

1 UP: Jump on top of the first canon after the middle-ring. You will reveal a winged cloud. Hit the cloud and get 1 UP.

Oh yeah, and get those coins because some of them are red.

 

2x FLOWER/RED COINS/COINS/1 UP: Push the chomp rock all the way to a switch. Hammer the posts down till they are level with the “!” bricks, so hit the first one once, the second one twice and the third one once. Hit the switch and roll the chomp rock all the way to the right.

OTHER SECRETS

 

Mini Battle Secret: In the screen where you can select stages, press while holding “select” the following: X, X, Y, B, A.

You’ll here an “uh-uh” sound if you pressed a wrong button.
