Yoshi mode
Successfully complete the entire game of Super Mario Brothers 2 to unlock Yoshi mode You do not need all the red coins. In Yoshi mode, you must find two Yoshi eggs hidden behind the potion doors. There are two eggs for each stage.

Bald Birdo
Get to a part in the game where you fight Birdo. Jump on her head and press [B], as if you were picking a vegetable. You will pick up her Bow. You can either throw it at her, which causes it to appear back on her head, or throw it off the edge or something so she is bald.

Defeating Claw Grip
Get on the edge to the right of the hole. Claw Grip will throw a stone that should bounce to your small standing space. Quickly time it correctly so you can pick it up and throw it at him. Do this five times.

Defeating Mouser
You will need to use a character that can throw well. Get Mouser to destroy the wall with his bombs. Once the wall is passable, carefully go to the ledge. Wait for him to throw a bomb. It should automatically be picked up. Then, throw it lightly onto Mouser's ledge. Timing is required to have it explode in Mouser's face. Do this five times.

Defeating Tryclyde
Play as Peach. Quickly pick up a mushroom block before they hit you with fireballs. Float on the open ledge opposite from the three headed snake. Float towards the thing and drop the mushroom block on it three times. It will yell "Impossible!!!", signaling you that you have defeated it.

Defeating the flying portal and Wart
When at the portal to reach Wart, pick up the crystal and advance to the portal. Carefully use the mushroom blocks and hit the portal with them. To beat Wart, get a vegetable, go behind him, and throw it while he is firing at you.

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.

Free hearts
Find a giant enemy and throw them. Do not through them off a ledge or into an enemy. A heart will pop out of them. You can do this as many times as needed if you do not kill them.

Pick up POW block
In Mario Bros. Classic, go on top of a POW block press [B].

Character recommendations

Mario: The main character has basic, balanced stats, and is a good choice for beginners.

Luigi: He is very fast and has lots of power, but on the downside is very clumsy.

Peach: She can float in the air while holding [A] button for about 1.5 seconds. However, she is the weakest in terms of power and speed.

Super Mario Brothers 2
Each time the spinners start in the bonus round, the second symbol in the first slot is always a cherry. If done correctly, you can guarantee yourself an average at least one extra life per coin.

In World 5-3, go up the ladder. Pick up the turtle shell and toss it. Wait for Bob-ombs to appear get points in this order: 200, 400, 800, 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000, 1-up. Let the turtle shell roll more and get more Albatoss to drop more Bob-ombs to get to as many lives as needed. The maximum number of lives that can be collected is 99.

Go the through the first level as fast as you want. When you get to a log that leads over a ledge, go into the door to the right of it. You will see a vine that leads up to a higher point. Go up that vine. You will see three bushes and five enemies standing to the right. Pull the third one closest to the enemies and you will get a huge turnip. Throw the turnip at the enemies when the first enemy is on the ground. The turnip will bounce until it hits the next one and so on. If done correctly, you will get an extra life. Keep doing this to get as many lives as needed.

When you pick up a turtle shell and launch it, any enemy on the ground it hits will give you a heart. Hit multiple enemies for points.

For every two million points you earn in Super Mario Brothers 2, a head appears next to your high score on the file selection page. For every head, you receive an extra credit in Mario Brothers.

Super Mario Brothers 2 World 1-1 Shortcut
Reach the door to enter the cave, but do not go in. Go left until you reach the platform near the door. Do a super jump to reach the top hill. Go right to reach a vine. Climb it and go up the level to meet Birdo.

Super Mario Brothers 2 World 1-1 Extra lives
When you enter the first cave on World 1-1, you will find a 1-Up mushroom inside a bubble. Ignore it and go up the vine. At the top you will see a group of five ninjas jumping in a pattern. Pick up one of the vegetables next to them, preferably one of the big ones, and hurl it at the ninjas. If timed correctly, it will kill all of them giving you extra points and an extra life. After this you will see a door just behind the ninjas. Walk out and then return. The ninjas will be there again. Repeat the process to gain more lives.

Enter the cave near the end of the level. Go up to the top by climbing up the vine. At the top on the right side are five Ninjis. Pluck the plant nearest to the Ninjis. It should be a giant turnip. Throw it at the Ninjis when the first one is on the ground. If timed correctly, the turnip will hit all five, giving you a 1-Up and a Heart. Climb down and back up the vine. Repeat this as many times as needed.

Super Mario Brothers 2 World 1-3 Warp
At the end of the outside part, there is a vase object. If you carry a red liquid in a bottle and throw it there, you will go down.

Take a potion to the last vase (past the door) and throw it. Enter the new door and then the vase to warp to World 4-1.

Super Mario Brothers 2 World 2-2 Cherries
Go through the level until you reach the sand waterfall. After you pass that, there is a door. Go in the door. Go past the Cherries to pick them up. You need five Cherries to get Starman. Just go in and out until you are satisfied. Also, Cherries give you 100 points.

Super Mario Brothers 2 World 3-1 Easy coins
In World 3-1, use Toad, because of his lifting power. Fall down the waterfall, onto the platform where the door is at the bottom. Enter the door and get the magic potion. Drop it anywhere where there is a continuous stream of coins. Enter this door, and get as many coins as possible. Go out the door you used to enter, then return, and repeat once.

Super Mario Brothers 2 World 3-2 Easy points
When you get the fifth ACE coin, go up the ladder to the location where there are two weeds on the ground and birds with the pitchforks. Jump on one of the birds and wait until another one comes by. When it gets there, throw the one you have at the other one to get an easy 4,000 points. Do this repeatedly to get as many points as desired. If you need to refill your health, pick up the weed on the right -- it is a heart. If you need to do it again, go down the ladder and go back up to get another one.

Super Mario Brothers 2 World 4-1 Quick ending
On World 4-1, get the Princess. Go up the vine, but go to the left. Run and fly to a secret door. Go through the door and use the bombs to blow up the wall. Then, jump over the top of the screen and run left.
