Getting Luigi
Go to the courtyard with the fountain and the ghosts. Look for one ghost that larger than the others. Use Mario to stomp him. Enter the small object that it drops to reach Boo's mansion. Get the first Star. On the second one, go up to the second floor. Continue on to defeat Big Boo and get Luigi's key.
Getting Mario
To rescue Mario, you need at least 8 Stars. Go into
the castle version of the rec room, where Toad is worried about
losing Peach's rec room keys. Open the 8 Star door. Go forward,
jump across the platforms, climb the pole, and reach the top of
the huge tree. Jump down the hole on top of it. To defeat the
following Boss, Goomboss as Yoshi, just run behind him, swallow
a minion, and throw it back at him. After each hit, he will grow
and redden. After three hits, he will be defeated and you will
get the key to Mario's room. Then, just unlock the door and go
inside.
Get the Mario Wings without using Mario
Go to versus mode. Go to either Shining Isle's or Battle.
Hit a "!" box and you will get the wings as anyone.
Getting Wario
Play as Luigi in the Mirror Room. Jump into Wario's
painting and defeat the Giant Ice Bully to get Wario's key.
Stronger Wario
As Wario, find a Power Flower. Fight enemies and you
will be slower, but stronger. Note: By doing this you can also
walk on lava.
Mario loses hat
Go to the level where you can see the snow level in
the mirror. Climb the mountain when you get to the head where
the penguin is found. The snow head guy will blow you off. If
you are Mario, your hat will fall off and you can leave the level
without it.
Toad gets hat
When you lose your hat at either Tall Mountain or Snowman's
Land, get a star. After that, the toad next to the door will have
your hat.
Character power-ups
- Mario
- Feather: Jump three times to make Mario fly.
- Flower: Make mario inflate and float slowly; handles easier than the feather.
- Note: Mario is just the basic character with no special abilities.
- Yoshi
- Flower: Makes Yoshi's mouth full of flame and can breath fire. If you ever see fire, such as in the basement, you can eat it and can spit fire once.
- Note: Kump and hold it for about a second. Yoshi will with kick his feet (faster than Luigi) and hover for about two seconds.
- Luigi
- Flower: Makes Luigi invincible to most things. He can go through screens and other objects.
- Note: Luigi can run on water for a short time. Also, if you jump and hold it, he kicks his feet fast and falls slower. If you try to do a triple jump with Luigi it can be more difficult -- if you hold it for about one second, he kicks and you will not be able to finish the triple jump.
- Wario
- Flower: Metal Wario; he is invincible and can stay underwater.
- Note: Wario is the slowest character. He also lacks jumping skills, but he is the best at Ground Pounds. He can break black bricks.
Easy health refill
When Mario's energy is low, find water, swim underwater,
then get some air.
If you are low on health, just find a body of water and jump in.
Stay at the surface and your health meter will refill.
To regain health, just collect coins. You can also try to destroy
an enemy to see if an item appears.
Easy lives
Play a level with a 1-Up, such as Bomb-Omb Battlefield.
Collect the 1-Up mushrooms, leave the level, then go back in and
repeat. You can do this as many times as desired.
Go up to the room with each character's door. There will be a
stained-glass portrait of Princess Peach. Jump into the portrait
on the right hand side of the of the room to access a Secret Star
room. Go down the slide in front of you and about halfway down,
you will run into a 1-Up. Repeat this as many times as needed.
You must have at least 8 Stars and Mario unlocked for this trick.
Go to the area where you unlocked Mario (past the character selection,
through he door that required eight Stars to unlock, in the portrait
of Mario) as Mario. Go down the tree stump to fight Goomboss,
then kick the back of his head to get the mushroom. Eat it and
wait for him to turn. He will create three Goombas at a time.
Because you are big, you will automatically kill them. Continue
to stand there and you will start racking up lives (three at a
time). You can get up to fifteen lives at a time by doing this.
Once the mushroom wears off, kill yourself and jump back in, repeating
the process.
If you die during the final battle and need lives, go behind the
pillar to your left to find a 1-Up. If you die at Bowser, it will
be there again.
You can get extra lives outside the castle. If you make birds
fly away, hit one and an extra life mushroom will appear.
Go in the castle room with all of the characters' doors. Jump
into the picture of Princess Peach on the right. Once in, you
will be able to go down the Princess's "secret slide".
Somewhere on the slide, a 1-Up will appear in front of you. At
the end of the slide there will be a yellow star (if you have
not already been here before). Behind the platform where the star
was located, another 1-Up should appear. You can keep doing this
until you have as many lives as desired, for those "harder
courses". Even if you save, the next time you will not have
that amount of lives.
Avoid death from high falls
If you fall from a very high location, wait until you
are just above the ground and press R. You will do a butt
slam and will not get hurt.
Long jump on the spot
Start running by holding Y and using the D-pad.
Press R, then press B button. Stop moving, but do
not release R. Keep pressing B to long jump on the
spot.
Get farther without running
Do the "Long jump on the spot" trick while
holding the direction that you wish to travel. You cannot turn
while doing this. If you want to turn in another direction, you
must stop and turn then do the "Long jump on the spot"
technique and hold in the direction you want to travel.
Look behind walls
Go as near as you can to a wall then X. Move
the camera around and you will be able to partly see what is behind
the wall. Most of the time, it will be black with nothing behind
it.
Smoke from rear
While running with any character, press R to
crouch. This will make smoke appear from the character's backside.
Mario's basic techniques
Note: This is with standard mode.
- Run: Press any direction then Y to accelerate. Hold Y to remain that way.
- Dash: Do not press any direction and hold Y. Mario will charge up and run in place. Then, hold any direction to dash off.
- 3 hit combo: Press A(3) while standing still to do two punches and a jump-kick.
- Run Dive: Start running then press A. Mario will do an instant dive, then slide on his stomach. While sliding it would be best to press B to hop quickly back on his feet.
- Run Jump Dive: Start running, then press B. Mario will jump with medium acceleration. Then, press A and Mario will dive in mid- air. Note: This works best for gaps that you can get the triple jump to work. Then as you slide on your stomach, press B.
- Double Jump: This requires timing. When standing still, press B to jump. Just as you land, jump again. You should go higher. Note: It will not work a third time.
- Triple Jump: You must be moving. Do the same thing as the Double Jump, but time it correctly one more time to do a super high jump.
- Triple Jump Dive: Perform the Triple Jump, then press A.
- Ledge Grabbing: When you grab a ledge quickly press B to get up or R to descend.
- Tree Climbing: When climbing on a tree, hold Y to accelerate up. When at the top of the tree, do not move then press Up. You will do a hand stand on top of the tree. Press B to go flying high into the air. Note: This is useful for places that you cannot reacy by foot.
- Power Dunk: When in mid-air at almost any time, press R. Mario will stop in mid-air for a full second, curl up, then descend at a good speed directly downward. This is useful for boxes that need smashing.
- Crawling: Hold R and press in any direction to crawl. Crawling works best in small narrow spaces where it is easy to fall.
- Super Backflip Somersault: Hold R and make sure you are crouching, then jump. You can maneuver slightly while in the air.
- Super Hop: Long jump when needed to get to the other side of a gap. Run or jog, then hold R and jump.
- Wall Jumping: Jump on a wall at a certain angle. Mario will slide down the wall. Press B to jump very high off of the wall.
- Breakdance Sweep Kick: Remain still, then hold R and press A. Mario will sweep his feet around, then get back in crouching position.
- Running Slide Kick: Start running, then hold R and press A while still moving to do a sliding kick towards an enemy.
- Ducking: Press R to duck, crouch, or get down.
Luigi drawing
At the main menu, when Mario's face is looking around, tap his face the first time he turns and faces all the way to
the right. It will draw Luigi's face instead of Mario's.
When you first start the game touch Mario's face three times.
When the drawing of Mario appears, it will be Luigi with a "!"
over his head.
Yoshi lays a square egg
Play as Yoshi and swallow one of the small light brown
boxes. Wait for it to turn into an egg and it will come out square.
Sleeping Mario, Luigi, Wario or Yoshi
Remain idle and eventually your character will lay
down and go to sleep. You might also hear snoring.
