WHAT'S NEW?
Revision 1.01: David Dayton said this code was false, so I deleted it. If you
have proof that this does work, e-mail me. [If the tens digit of the star
bonus achieved by breaking the tape at the finish matches both the ones and
the tens digit of the time remaining on the timer, you will earn a 1-up]

Go to Yoshi's House if you want to practice. Go to Yoshi's Island 1. Keep
going right until you eventually reach the exit. There are some exits that
take you back to where you were. I will not list those.

Go up to the Yellow Switch Palace, and enter. Just hit the switch, grab as
many coins as possible, then head right, through the pipe, and hit the switch.

Go down, and make your way to Yoshi's Island 2. Enter, and then grab the
shell, and kill the enemies for an easy 1-up. In one of the boxes, Yoshi is
inside. Mount him, then keep going forward until you reach the exit.

Go up to Yoshi's Island 3. Go up, and keep using the platforms, and eventually
you should reach the end.

Go into Yoshi's Island 4. Keep going right until you see a pipe. Go in it, and
go to the exit.

Now enter Iggy's Castle. Climb onto the fence, and keep going right until you
get to the door. Enter, then avoid the pits and the crushers, until you make
it to the next door. To defeat Iggy, keep bouncing on his head when it tilts
so that he is closest to the lava.

Go up to Donut Plains 1. Just grab a feather, then fly to the platform with
the key, drop down, then go to the exit. SECOND EXIT: Fly up to the platform,
and put the key in the hole.

Go to Donut Plains 2. Just keep going forward until you get to the final green
pipe, and go inside. Then, go to the exit. SECOND EXIT: In the place where
there are yellow rocks going up and down, and there are two orange pipes, and
two green ones, enter the second green one. Grab the blue shell, and hit the
last block to make a vine. Jump onto the blocks, climb up the vine, and put
the key in the keyhole.

the ghost, and go through the door. Go left, grab the Power Switch, bring it
near the floating door, then hit it. Hit the block directly over the door.
Climb up the vine, and go through the door. Grab the highest block you can
get, then throw it at the Big Boo. Do this three times to beat him. SECOND
EXIT: Grab the Power Switch, bring it over and hit it, but this time enter the
door to the RIGHT of the floating door. Go to the exit.

Go into the pipe next to the house, then go to Donut Secret 2. Keep going
right until you reach the exit.

reach the exit.

Now go to Donut Plains 4. Just fly right until you reach the exit. Go to
Morton's Castle. Go up the ramp, and into the door. Then, climb up the stairs
to the left and enter another door. Use the moving platforms and trampolines
to move upwards, until you reach the door, then enter it. To defeat Morton,
just bounce on his head three times.

For Star World, the second exit lets you move on. The first will only take you
back to where you were (Except for Star World 5). I will list the second exit,
not the first (Except for Star World 5).

green and red platform. Dismount Yoshi, grab the shell, go down the platform,
hit the box with the shell, then put the key into the keyhole.

You cannot beat Star World 5 until you beat the Blue Switch Palace, so go to
Vanilla Ghost House. Go right, and through the door. Do not touch the green

way to the right. Grab the coins, then hit the switch, then go through the
door. Then go to the exit.

carefully so that you can use the platforms efficiently. Eventually, you will

pipe. Go into it, then Grab the star, and keep going down until you see a
green `?'. Grab it to finish the level.

3.                           SECRETS & COOL STUFF
-If you've beaten the level, pause the game and hit select to exit it.
-If you swallow 10 red berries with Yoshi, an egg will hatch, revealing a
mushroom.
-If you swallow 2 pink berries with Yoshi, an egg will hatch, revealing a
cloud that throws out coins. I think if you grab all of them, he throws a 1-
up.
-If you swallow 3 green berries with Yoshi, you will get an extra 20 seconds
to finish the level.
-If Yoshi spits out a shell that is spit out as a regular shell, you can re-
use it.
-If you don't have enough room to fly, run, and keep changing directions, and
eventually you will be able to. However, there are some exceptions (Like the
beginning of Tubular).
-After stomping on a Power Switch, quickly get Yoshi to grab it, and then spit
it out. It will now be reusable.
-Mario is invincible to harm while riding Yoshi.
-You can carry two items at once, by stacking one on top of the other, than
grabbing the lower one.
-To reenter castles after you have defeated them, press the L-Button and the
R-Button at the same time.
-Hit Morton, Ludwig, or Roy 12 times with fireballs, and you will win.
-Carry something to the exit and hit the tape, then it will transform into
something. If what is in the reserve box is what you are, it'll be a 1-up, if
it isn't it will make it so it is. Small Mario counts as a Big Mario this way.
-In Butter Bridge 1, you can keep jumping to let the mushrooms rise a little,
instead of continually sinking while standing on them.

-Level 1-up Tricks-
-Yoshi's Island 2: Go to the block that gives you Yoshi, while you are on
Yoshi, and grab the 1-up, then repeat. Also, at the beginning, grab the shell
and hit the turtles to gain another 1-up.

-Not only can you grab mushrooms, fire flowers, and feathers at the Top Secret
Area, but if you have Yoshi, you can grab 1-ups too.

-Vanilla Secret 3: You can get 40-50 lives, a power-up, and Yoshi all at once.
Go to the midway tape, break it and exit the level. Reenter it, then go right
until you come to a pipe. In a music box above the pipe is a power-up.
Continue right, avoiding enemies, over the chasm, and to the row of blocks
above a field of spiked turtles. Hit the bottom of the second block in that
row. It is a Power Switch. Grab it, and take it with you. Return back to your
left, over the chasm, past the pipe, and the midway tape. Continue until you
are between 2 pipes on the same screen. Set the Power Switch down and jump on
it, jump over the chasm to the left, and run as far and as fast as you can.
Each enemy has turned into a coin. Grab as many as you can for a lot of lives.
It will run out around the time you get to the block that has Yoshi. Get
Yoshi, and exit the level, but not before it finishes counting your lives.

-Vanilla Secret Fortress: Just before facing Reznor, keep stomping on the Bony
Beetles. Eventually, you will start earning lives. But, you must never touch
the ground, so just swim to stay above.

-Butter Bridge 2: There is a pipe with a small log platform on both sides
about two-thirds through the level. If you have a cape, get on the right log
platform trapping the koopa between you and the green pipe. Now, you can use
the cape spin trick to continuously knock the koopa shell against the pipe and
collect unlimited 1-ups until the clock runs out.

-Forest of Illusion 1: Go break the midway tape, and exit the level. Reenter
the level, then run to the right and you'll find a block that alternates
between the different power-ups. Hit the block when it's a feather and you
will grab the Super Star. Now run to the right and hit every enemy on the way.
Soon you will be earning 1-ups and 2-ups. You should be able to get around 15
extra lives before the star runs out.

-Forest of Illusion 4: Where there is Lakitu "fishing" with a 1-up mushroom,
ignore him. Get a shell, and run to the first pipe. There is an enemy which
throws more enemies at you. There is a depression in front of the pipe. Kick
the shell into the depression, and it will start to bounce back and forth.
Every time the enemy throws the monsters into the depression, the shell will
kill it. Eventually, you will start to earn 1-ups. Now you can take the
mushroom from Lakitu. He also will now throw more enemies into the depression.
It is possible to get around 40-70 extra lives.

-Chocolate Island 1: There is a 3-up Moon just beyond the midway tape, but to
get it you must carry the springboard which is left of the midway tape. Carry
the springboard to the level left of the big crescent-shaped section. If you
jump as high as possible and then go right while in the air, you can land on a
set of clouds where the moon is.

-Chocolate Island 4. You must have a cape. Get the first Power Switch and go
down the gray tube. Once in the tube, grab the second Power Switch and jump
off the edge. Hug the right wall until you see the seventh opening in the wall
that is filled with 1-up mushrooms. Float into it and grab them. When you come
out of the tube, go back to the left and repeat as many times as needed.

-Sunken Ghost Ship: Just before you enter the pipe to go to the second area of
the ship, go to the left and up. There will be two bullet things that will
keep shooting and they will hit your feet. Eventually, you will get 1-ups.

-Groovy: Go until you get to the platform that has 5 coins and a `?' box. You
must carry the Power Switch with you to this point. Hit the Power Switch, and
grab the star from the `?' box. Then jump up and down to touch all the enemies
that are flying back and forth. When the Power Switch's effect ends, run to
the left and kill everyone. You can get about 17-20 lives this way.
