Extra lives
Note: The following trick only works on The Lost Levels. Hold [A] and press [Start] at the game over screen. The game will start with ten lives.
Note: This trick only works on a new game. Select the "Toy Box" option at the main menu, then select "Fortune Teller". Keep looking at the cards until five lives are earned. Return to the main menu and choose to play the "Original" levels. Start a new game to begin with ten lives instead of five.
Begin game play in level 1-1. Locate the hidden extra life mushroom above the bush after the first pipe that you can enter. Save the game at this point. Load that file to find that you have one more life. Repeat until the desired amount of lives have been collected. Note: Depending on how many lives are desired, this procedure may require a large amount of time.
In level 1-1, around the starting part of the stage, go past the first four or five pipes that are lined up. Immediately after the mountain in the background, jump and an extra life and the block that it comes out of will appear.
Play level 5-1. Kill the first turtle that comes up to you and make it slide forward. Run with it, and it will kill everything in your path. This will give you an extra life.
Always restart with ten lives
Save and exit the game after only having one life left. Select the "Toy Box" option at the main menu, then select "Fortune Teller". Keep looking at the cards until five lives are earned. Return to the saved game. After losing a life, the game will start over with ten lives.

You should get at least 20,000 points and an extra life. Repeat this until reaching 300,000 points to race Boo or play the Lost Levels.
Go to world 5-1 and a Koopa will be the first thing you see. Kill it and kick it forward. Follow it until you hear an extra life sound. Do not jump. Doing this will not take away lives.
