Secret exit in World 7-4 -
To locate the secret exit in World 7-4, you will need a mini-Mushroom
(in storage, if possible). Make your way past the mid-level point and
upwards to the left side of the screen (high up). You will eventually
come to a flying "?" block. Use the mini-Mushroom to make Mario smaller
and jump onto the block to stop it. Then, use the block to jump into the
little opening in the brick wall. Make a "C" jump (backwards C) and jump
up and to the left to land at the top of the wall. Go over and you will
see a small pipe that only mini-Mario can fit in. Take this pipe to
reach the red flag secret exit.
Secret exit in World 7-5 -
Just before you reach the giant Bullet Bill, you will see a pipe that is
covered in blocks. Use the Bob-ombs to blow up the blocks and then
access the pipe to reach the red flag secret exit.
Secret exit in World 7-6 -
After you reach the mid-level point, you will come to an area with two
rows of bricks. You must be big, but not mega-sized to perform this
trick. Knock out the middle brick on the top row, then knock out the
third brick in the bottom row. This will cause a vine to grow. Climb the
vine and make your way to the end of the level above to reach the red
flag secret exit.
Warp from World 1 to World 5 -
Go to the tower in World 1 with the Blue Shell power-up. Go to the first
pipe that shoots you up into the air. On your way back down, go in the
gold door. There will be a lot of randomly moving platforms. On the
right, there is a gap that always stays the same size. Go through it and
you will see three blocks. Use the Blue Shell ability to break them all,
then break the last three. Go to the right and finish the level to
unlock the World 1 Warp Cannon, which will shoot you to World 5.
Warp from World 2 to World 5 -
In Secret Stage 2-A, there is a secret exit to the stage that will grant
you access to the Warp Cannon in World 2. Near the end of the stage,
there is one last spin jump platform you need to use to reach the final
Star Coin. Instead of stopping once you get the last Star Coin, continue
falling to the right and press Jump at the same time you land on the red
turtle on the final platform to get enough jump height to reach the
platform with the pipe above you in the little alcove. Go through the
pipe and exit the stage using the red flag.
Warp from World 5 to World 8 -
Enter the World 5 Ghost House and get a Mushroom from the blocks. Then,
go up the stairs untill you get to a place with three brick blocks on
the left side of the screen. Stand on top of them and jump to reveal
three invisible blocks. Next, wall jump on the left side to get on top
of them. Stand on the middle raised block and duck, then jump to reveal
a block with a vine in it. Climb up the vine and a Boxing Ghost will
appear. Jump off the vine to avoid taking damage from it. Kill it and
climb back up, and enter the door. Kill the two Walking Pumpkins and
stand in the middle. The platform will wobble and as long as you stay in
the center you should be fine. When it reaches the top, exit and jump on
the flag pole. A path will open to the Warp Cannon on the World Map.
Enter and use the Cannon to get to World 8.

Infinite lives -
In World 2-4, just past the two Piranha Plants (after the mid-level
point) you will come to a staircase with a turtle coming down it. Jump
on the turtle just as it is about to go off the third stair (third from
the bottom). If done correctly, Mario will continue to jump on the
turtle and earn up to 99 lives. If you miss the turtle, go back towards
the left and return to the staircase and the turtle will respawn. This
is a reference to the original Super Mario Bros., in which you could do
the same trick to get unlimited lives.
In World 7-5, throw a Koopa shell in-between the two Bullet Bill cannons
to get an extra life every four seconds.
Easy lives -
In World 1-1, hit the "?" block containing the Mega Mario Mushroom, then
run as fast as possible to the end of the level and smash everything in
sight. If you crash all the way through to the flagpole, you can earn up
to five 1-Up Mushrooms. Enter the world again and repeat this as much as
desired.
Extra life -
Collect 100 Gold Coins to earn Mario an extra life. Additionally, at the
end of a stage, jump up and land on top of the flagpole to earn an extra
life.
