Begin game play in level 1-1. Locate the hidden extra life mushroom above the bush after the first pipe that you can enter. Save the game at this point. Load that file to find that you have one more life. Repeat until the desired amount of lives have been collected. Note: Depending on how many lives are desired, this procedure may require a large amount of time.
