Unlockable: World Select

Beat the game with or without the use of warp whistles to access any world you want.

Unlockable: Level Select

To play any level you want over and over again, simply beat all 90 levels in the game. You'll even be able to access the fortresses, spade games, mushroom houses and hammer brother fights as many times as you want!

Unlockable: Warp Flutes

Warp Flute 1: In world one, level three, go near the end of the level until you see a white block. Step onto this white block and duck, and after a while you will fall behind it. Stay behind the backround while going all the way to the end of the level.

Warp Flute 2: In world one's fortress, go to the area where the ceiling is open (it is just before a door with a skeleton koopa). Make sure you have a raccoon leaf. Fly up above the screen and then move to the end at the right. There should be a hidden doorway.

Warp Flute 3: In world two, go to the top right corner of the map. Use a hammer to break a boulder up there, and then continue to the right to find a hammer brother. Beat him to get the flute.

Hint: Special Suit Trick

Go to a mushroom house and pick a chest. If it contains a suit, get a game over. Now select continue. The levels you have beaten will not be reset, only the mushroom houses and the slot machine games. After continuing, go back to the same mushroom house where you've received the suit. No matter what chest you pick, you will always find a copy of the same suit. Repeat this trick to get as many suits as you want.

Hint: Underwater Shortcut

There is an easy way to beat the ship level (after the tank level) in the final world. Just swim under below the ships. Keep presing A so you won't sink too deep and die.

Hint: Secret Area in World 8-2

In World 8-2, sink into the first quicksand pit to drop into a secret area.

Hint: Warp to World 8

Once you've got two warp whistles you can use them both to instantly end up in World 8.

Hint: Easy 1ups

For easy 1 ups go to world 1 level 2. After the first set of blocks (1 coin and 1 power up) on the other side of the pipes let 5 goombas drop out, jump on them and hop to the ones that fall out of the pipe without touching the ground. After you get around 8 kills you will receive an extra life for each one you hit.

Hint: Finding White Mushroom Houses

If you get enough coins in certain levels, you will find a White Mushroom House back on the map. Here are the minimum amount of coins you need to pick up at the following levels:

• World 1, Level 4 -- 44 coins
• World 2, Level 2 -- 30 coins
• World 3, Level 8 -- 42 coins
• World 4, Level 2 -- 22 coins
• World 5, Level 5 -- 28 coins
• World 6, Level 7 -- 78 coins
• World 7, Level 2 -- 42 coins

The White Mushroom Houses in Worlds 1, 3, 5, and 7 give you P Wings, while the White Mushroom Houses in Worlds 2, 4, and 6 give you Anchors.

Hint: Alternate way to Defeat Bowser

To defeat Bowser the other way, use fire Mario or hammer Mario to fire at him. He will turn over and fall on his head when he reaches the bottom.
