Hint: Defeating
Wart
Use Peach for this battle. Get a fruit and avoid the bubbles that appear from his mouth. While he is harmless and motionless, hover over his head behind him. He cannot hurt you from this point. When he opens his mouth to fire bubbles, throw the fruit at him from the back of him. While he is stunned, fly back over to the front of him. Collect another fruit, avoid the bubbles, and repeat the process five more times to defeat him, most likely without being scratched.

coins
On Worlds 1-2 and 2-1, there are formulas in test tubes that you pull out of the ground. They usually make a door appear. Throw the formula and go through the door. Pull out the weeds and you will get the coins. Then, exit through the door. Go down one of the vases nearby and come back up. You will be able to pull out the formula again. Throw the formula again and go through the door. You should be able to get coins from the same weeds again. Note: This will not work if you try it again -- they will just be original weeds.

Completing World 8
When getting to World 8, the last world, it is best to complete Worlds 1 to 6 without using a flute. Use it for World 7, as it is very difficult. The reason for this is for you to collect all items (there is only room for four boxes) and not use special presents (for example, Clouds, Flute, Magic P, Hammer Head Suit, Raccoon Suit). You can waste the music box; it is useless unless completing World 7, to put Piranna Plants to sleep. After World 6 is completed, use the Flute and warp to World 8. When you arrive, you must defeat the first Tank level (Cloud cannot be used to skip, Magic P is suggested). Then, defeat the Boat level (should not need Magic P). Defeat the Flying Boat level (again Cloud is useless). Use some Clouds to skip the levels. Note: You must complete the Castle afterwards before saving the game. After completing the Castle you will have a direct tunnel to this point in the World (when going to beginning of the World and taking the first tunnel). After this you must take another tunnel and defeat one last Tank Level (Bowser's Castle is in view).

Walking forwards while moving backwards
Go to a level with a scrolling screen (such as the Boss ships). Wait for the left side of the screen to catch up with you. Then, look to the left side of the screen. Mario will appear as if he is walking forward while moving backwards.

Easy coins
In level 3, go to the place with many gold blocks. Pick up the red turtle, then throw him towards the music block (the one that bounces). After it is done destroying them, go down by where it ended and jump up. Then, jump on it two times and you will get bounced up into the clouds for extra coins.

Extra lives
Go to level 1-2 (grass-looking level) and jump the second pipe. Use or obtain a Leaf/Raccoon Mario and jump from one Goomba to the next. Continue to jump until you reach 10,000 points. After that, every Goomba you land on will give you an extra life.

If you have the
Raccoon Tail and can fly, when you get in the clouds wait until the second
section of coins then run and fly. You will see a box surrounded by coins. Do
not try to get all the coins. Just hit the box for an extra life green
mushroom. This can be done on every cloud/coin screen.
Higher jump height
During certain levels in the game you can jump on pink musical-note blocks to access secret cloud bonus-coin areas to collect more coins and another extra life. When you jump on these blocks to access these areas, it is possible to modify how high you jump into the air. If you really get a good enough running start and get the P-Meter flashing at full power when you jump onto these blocks, you can jump even higher. Note: this trick can only be done with certain pink musical-note block in certain levels. Also, to do this trick with Frog Mario you then need to be holding a turtle shell to run to get the P-Meter up to full power.

Koopa without fireballs:
At Koopa's castle you must keep a P-Wing through the level. Normally, Koopa shoots fire during the battle. When you enter the place where you face Koopa, stop. Fly up and go on the wall. Go all the way until you see the other side of the wall. Do not go all the way to the other side. Fly back to the normal side from which you came then face Koopa without fire.
