Continue Feature
After losing all lives, continue from the beginning of the world where you lost them:
- At the “Game Over” screen, hold down the A button.
- While holding A, press Start.
Warp Zones
Skip ahead to later worlds using hidden Warp Zones:
- Worlds 2, 3, and 4: In World 1-2, near the end, use the moving platform to reach the top of the screen and run over the ceiling to find pipes leading to these worlds.
- Worlds 6, 7, and 8: In World 4-2, locate a hidden vine by hitting invisible blocks beneath the ceiling near the first elevator platform. Climb the vine to access pipes leading to these worlds.
Unlimited 1-Ups
In World 3-1, at the staircase before the flagpole, two Koopas descend the steps:
- Allow the first Koopa to pass.
- Stomp on the second Koopa to send its shell bouncing between the staircase and the screen edge.
- Continuously jump on the shell without touching the ground to accumulate points and extra lives.
Minus World Glitch
Access a glitch level known as the “Minus World”:
- In World 1-2, at the pipe leading to the flag, break the second and third blocks from the right above the pipe.
- Stand on the pipe’s far left edge, duck, and jump backward toward the remaining block to pass through the wall.
- Enter the leftmost pipe in the warp zone to reach the Minus World (-1), an endless underwater level.
Fireworks Display
To trigger fireworks at the end of a level:
- Touch the flagpole when the last digit of the timer is 1, 3, or 6. You’ll see 1, 3, or 6 fireworks, respectively, each adding 500 points to your score.
