Mushroom Mission Trick
On the 3rd chapter, one of the missions you'll be asked to complete is the old woman's mushroom gathering hunt. To receive the entry pass for this mission, you must gather a total of 30 mushrooms from either Tomb Pass or Maneater Road; that means getting every single one on the stage without dying in a very stict time limit. Use this trick to guarantee you get 30 mushrooms--kill yourself until you're on your last life. Then go collect mushrooms in one of the 2 stages. Die once more, and select CONTINUE from the Game Over screen. You'll be back on the world map. Now enter the OTHER stage. All of the mushrooms you collected from the first stage will still be there, and you can easily complete your collection and return to the old woman for the pass.

Safe Spot when Fighting the Third Castle Boss
There is nothing more frustrating than fighting your way through an ultra-tough castle only to be pounded by the boss, forcing you to start over. The 3rd castle boss has a number of attacks, but you can help your situation by pressing against the far right wall. In this position, you cannot be hurt by his club swing attack, allowing you to concentrate on avoiding the other attacks and saving much-needed energy.

Unlimited Lives Memory Card Trick
You need a memory card to do this trick. When you have 100 coins or more in Edo(the first area) go to "Lost'n Town". When you arrive go to the second house to the right with the blue curtain on the door. Purchase as much sushi as you can from the lady near the door. Sushi costs 100 coins each and gives you an extra life plus 2 health points. Leave the store and go to the Inn, it has a small door with a white banner on it. Now save your game at the inn and push reset on the N64. Select the game you just saved and you'll find that 100 coins have automatically been restored to you. Now you can purchase more sushi with this free money and more lives by repeating this pattern. It takes some patience but it pays off in the end against the tougher areas and bosses in the game.

NOTE: This works on two player games as well but you have to make sure that both players buy sushi.
