Hidden level
Note: The following only is available in the PAL, European version of the game. Complete (and save) all the 96 levels on each one of the three memory files. The number "96" will be blue if you have an European version, otherwise three stars should appear beside them. Power off the SNES and turn it on again. Do not press any buttons and wait for the demo to play. It should be different. Mario dies and you will be able to play the title screen level. This is a shorter version of "Groovy", with no exit gate.

In-game reset
Press [Start] + [Select] during game play.

Never lose a life
To be able to do this trick, you must have completed the current level previously. When you are falling, press [Start] + [Select] in mid-air. You will exit the level and not die.

High jumps
Jump with Yoshi, then spin jump off Yoshi.

To get extra height on Yoshi jumps while wearing the Cape, run and jump to do a high jump, but at the peak of that jump, jump again.

Uphill Yoshi slide
Face toward a slope and press [Down] and [Left] or [Right] to slide upward.

Break blocks with Yoshi
When you press [A] on a block (not the "?" or the "!" block), you can break it. If you are on Yoshi, and he is on top of the breakable block, press [A]. You should be flying off Yoshi. As you go down, try to go on Yoshi again. If accomplished, you should be on Yoshi breaking blocks.

With a Yoshi and a Feather, stand on some blocks that you can break. Hold [A] and you will spin off Yoshi. Then, land on Yoshi and you will start to break blocks. In the air, press [A] and you will spin very high.

Red Yoshi
Red Yoshi always spits out fireballs, whatever the color shell in its mouth. You need to be big Yoshi first before you can do this.

Yellow Yoshi
Yellow Yoshi throws out sand clouds for a fixed length of time when he jumps, whatever the color shell in its mouth. You need to be big Yoshi first before you can do this.

Instant large Yoshi
In the Star Road levels, grab and hold a baby Yoshi then immediately feed it a Star (the item that makes Mario invincible for a brief period of time). It will instantly grow into a big Yoshi. This is especially useful when you need to act fast and you do not have time to feed it six enemies.

Instant large Mario
Go to Star World 3 and have a Yoshi. Run toward the egg, and it should hatch into a 1-Up mushroom. Run at it before it reaches the goal. When you run into the goal, it should go above your head and become a mushroom. It should touch you when points are added for time. You will instantly become big.

Bomber Mario
Get a Cape and pick up a Shell. Start flying, then drop it.

Fly further
When you get a Cape and have taken flight, wait until Mario slowly drops. Then, press [Back] to make him go into the air a little bit higher while advancing forward. He will then start to fall, but you can repeat this as many times as needed to get past difficult parts or to get secret items in the sky. If you have good timing and accuracy, you can actually fly past an entire level.

Get a Caped Mario and a Yoshi. Go to a level where you can get a blue shell in Yoshi's mouth. Press and hold [Y] to get the shell in your mouth. Keep [Y] held so you will run, then press [B]. You will fly as usual with the Cape, but Yoshi will flap his wings as well. You can go higher, faster, and further in the air.

All exits marked as complete
There are a total of 96 exit points throughout the game. After you find all of these exits, save the game, reset, then go to the area that lists the three files. You will then see a number 96 with a star by it, next to the file you completed the game with. Note: Make sure you have completed the Star Worlds by using the secret and non-secret exits. Also do this with the other worlds that have secret exits.

Boss skip
After completing Soda Lake, go to the Star and warp. Then, complete the road until you reach the Star in the bottom right corner. This will takes you directly to Bowser. You can skip a maximum of six Bosses with this trick.

Secret pathways
There are different level colors (yellow and red) in the game. Red indicates that it leads to a secret pathway. Yellow indicates that it leads to a regular pathway.

Maximum lives
Find Yoshi and place a power-up that is not already in use in the item box. Enter a previously completed course and find a berry that is positioned just above Yoshi's mouth. Press [Select] to drop the power-up from the item box. Have Yoshi jump so that he eats the berry and the power-up at the same time. The game will freeze and the coin total will increase rapidly. Press [Start] + [Select] to exit the level after accumulating ninety-nine lives.

Go to the Forest of Illusion 1 with a cape, Locate the section with the caterpillars on the logs. Instead of killing the caterpillars, jump up and hold [Y] + [B] and try to land the first caterpillar on the head so it's hat falls off. Repeat this for the second and third caterpillars. After hitting the third caterpillar, return to the first caterpillar (his hat will be back on). Repeat this procedure until symbols begin appearing above the caterpillar's heads. Use this trick to collect coins, lives and points, but make sure you do not run out of time.

Go to Vanilla Doom Secret Area 3. Move past the middle of the area to find a location where if Mario pushes a yellow block, a P will appear. Use this P at the middle of the area, then return to the beginning of the area. All the turtles should have been changed into gray coins. Collect all the coins to gain more than sixty lives.

Go to Yoshi's Island 2. At the beginning of the level, pick up the shell and throw it at all the Koopas on the platform. Hit all the question blocks and a few will result in extra lives. Then, get to the midpoint of the level and go down the first blue pipe after this point. Take the blue blocks and throw them at the flying question blocks, or if you have Yoshi, make him jump, then jump off him at the blocks. After getting the extra life, go out and backtrack -- the extra life will still be there. Return as many times as needed to collect it again.

Complete the Forest of Illusion 1. Reach the midpoint and hit the flashing block when it becomes a feather. Wait for it to become a Starman, and then collect it. Then, continue on through the level and kill everything that appears. After the Starman expires, press [Start] and press [Select] to exit out the stage. Then, return to start at the midpoint. Get the Starman again, kill everything, and repeat until 99 lives are obtained.

Go to the Forest Of Illusion 4. When first starting, jump on the green turtle shell and take it to the pipe to the right. Jump and take the extra kufe from the Laiktu. Kick it at the pipe and it will bounce back and forth. The Laiktu in the pipe and in the cloud will throw Spikeys in the pit. Stand there and jump over an occasional Spikey until 99 lives are collected. Note: Make sure that time does not run out during the trick.

Go to either the first Koopa Castle, Iggy, or the fourth, Ludwig Von Koopa. Get to the area where you climb on the fences. As long as you do not touch the ground, you should jump on (not punch) the climbing turtles. After jumping on several, you will get extra lives. The fourth castle is a better place for this trick because it is bigger and have some turtles that regenerate.

Once you have unlocked secret area above the Donut Ghost House #1, get Yoshi, then go to the secret area. Keep going in the area again and go to the "?" where you get Yoshi. You will see a extra life appear. Repeat as many times as needed.

Complete all of the Special levels in Star Road. Also, it is preferred that you have already completed the level involved in this trick. The level is right after the Ghost House in Vanilla Dome. Enter the level and make your way to the half-way marker, making sure to break the tape between the posts. This will make the trick much easier to perform. Now, continue through the level a bit further. You will see a yellow masked Koopa on a platform. Bounce on it to knock it out of its shell, but make sure that it does not fall off of the platform. Allow it to get back into the shell so it starts spinning wildly. Jump onto the tall, narrow platform to the right of the platform that the yellow masked Koopa is on and remain there. The yellow masked Koopa will spin off of the platform it was originally on and will fall onto the ground to the left of the tall, narrow platform and will continuously smash against it. Since the Bullet Bills in the level have pre-set paths, they will not hit you from the position that you are in. Instead, most of them will hit the spinning shell. After the shell hits several Bullet Bills, you will begin gaining two extra lives at a time. If you have already completed the level, wait until the timer has about five to ten seconds remaining. Then, press [Start] to pause game play, and then press [Select] to exit the level. If you have not accumulated the desired amount of lives, re-enter the level. You will start at the half-way marker. Repeat the trick until you have the maximum number of lives.

Go to the Forest Of Illusion 1 and get the star out of the box near the half way point. Run and kill all the enemies on the way to the end of the level. Repeat this to get up to 99 lives.

Berries

Red Berry: Get Yoshi to eat ten of these. Yoshi will lay an egg; a red mushroom lies inside.

Pink Berry: Get Yoshi to eat two of these. Yoshi will lay an egg; a cloud appears and throws smiley coins at you. Collect all the ones it throws out to get a green mushroom.

Green Berry: you Only need to eat one of these for its effect. These will add some extra seconds to your timer. You can find Green Berries in the last level, Funky, of special world.

Defeating Football Players
When the Football Players charge you, hit them in the head. As soon as they finish being dizzy, hit them in the head again. This will either slow them down if you do not have Yoshi, or knock them out if you do. Never try to get rid of two football players at the same time.

Get Mario a cape from any level. When you get close to a Football Player, on land or in air, press [Y]. This will quickly defeat the football player. You can do this with any of the sports players.

Moon star
On the map that features that various levels that can be selected, enter the cave. To the right is a level where you ride on skeleton heads on lava the entire time. In the middle there is a piece of land with two yellow tunnels. Inside is a turtle and a cape. Get the cape and run on the left side of the tunnels until you have enough power to fly to the ceiling. Go all the way to the left to find a compartment area with a moon item. Get it and you will have three or four lives.

Star Worlds

1. Go to Donut Plains. Hit the green switch, then just go right and up the "!"s at the end. Otherwise, you have to fly. Put the key in the hole. You can now go underwater to a red dot on the map . In this level, go to the P switch and carry it to the next "?". Hit it and then the "?". Put the key in the nearby keyhole. A secret ghost house will appear. Enter it, and locate the room with the door with no platform underneath of it. Get the P switch (to the left) and bring it there. Hop on it. Do not go through any door. Stand directly in front of it and jump. A vine will appear. Quickly climb the vine to reach a platform with a secret blue door. Enter and defeat the Big Boo three times with the blue bricks to open the Star Road.

2. Go to Vanilla Dome 1. You need the red switch; it appears later on in Vanilla Dome. Go to Dome 1 and keep going right up the red "!"s and to the key. Go to Vanilla Secret 1 (which just appeared) and have Yoshi. Find the pipe coming out of the left wall near the top. Use a spring to go up. Jump off Yoshi's back and into the pipe.

3. Finish Soda Lake.

4. Complete Forest Of Illusion 4 the secret way. You must go down a blue pipe near a P switch and complete the Fortress.

5. Use Yoshi to get the key at the end of Valley of Bowser 4.

Easy Star Roads and Star Worlds
To have access to other places in the game easier, unlock the Star Worlds early. To do this, exit Donut Secret House to the first Star Road. Enter the first Star World, and complete the key section which will allow you access to Star World 2 where you can find the Blue/Purple Yoshi. You can now complete all levels of the Star Road, even the fifth world, without having all the color blocks up. You can even complete the "Special" area. The Purple Yoshi will become invaluable in the "Special" area.

Castle 2: Bonus area
Enter castle number 2 with a cape, avoid the Thwimps, and fly up through the small opening in the ceiling on the left. This will take you to a bonus area.

Cheese Bridge: Skip first part
Get all the way back and run with Yoshi and a cape. At the end of the platform, jump and keep [Jump] held. You will fly off screen then come down and hit a saw. You will hit another, then you will miss one. However, at the last second a saw will appear and you will automatically jump off of it.

Cheese Bridge: Get a soda
Go to Cheese Bridge area with Yoshi. Get to the end by hopping on the saws, but do not use Yoshi wings. At the last platform before the exit, run from left to right and run off the platform. When you get past the Exit Tape, press [A] to jump off Yoshi as he falls to his doom. Keep running to reach a moon and another exit. Now climb down the vine to the soda.

Chocolate Island 2: Special secret
Spend under 50 seconds in the first two sections combined to reach the flat land with the secret key.

Chocolate Island 3: Fortress
With Yoshi, eat the blue turtle at the end and fly under the win.

To get to Chocolate Fortress, go to the end of the level and do not go through the finish line. Note: A Cape is required. Jump over the finish line and jump into the sky. You will have a very long jump automatically. There will be a new finish line. Go through it.

and spores
You can get rid of the baseballs that the football players throw and the little spores that the plants eject by spinning your cape around. The spores and baseballs will make a tiny cloud, then disappear.

Donut Plains 1: Get to secret without Luigi fast
Jump on the first red caped Troopa. Once you get the Feather, do not step on the shell-less Troopa. Return to where you saw the caped Troopa. It will be there again. Step on it to get another Feather.

Donut Plains 1: Hold item in your Donut Plains 2: Faster way to Bowser
Get to Donut Plains 2. Go to the area with the pipes, jump up, and go though the last pipe in the line. Put the key in the hole and go and push the green button. Go back to Donut Plains 1 and get a feather. Keep going until reaching the green wall. Run up the wall with the feather and put the key in the hole. Go to the level that is now open. Get to the P button, pick it up, and carry it to blocks. Set it down and push it. Go through the coins and get the key. Put it in the hole and go to the Ghost House. G to the area where you get the P button. Go to the brown door, push the button, and get on boxes. Jump and climb the vine, then go though the silver door. Defeat the big Boo, go to the star, and get the key in Everyone Down. When you get to the bottom right level, go though the Star transporter and go to the Castle.

Jump down from the edge after you complete the Haunted House that you came to from the water. Go to the tube and enter it to get to a cliff by Bowser's Castle. Press [A] + [B] + [X] + [Y] + [R] + [L] to jump off to Bowser's Castle.

Donut Plains 4: Easy coins and extra Donut Secret 1: Extra lives
Reach the part where Mario inflates like a balloon. Inflate him, then fly to the part where he hits a turtle with his feet. Hit the turtle and let Mario fall. Hit it again and keep the shell. Then, go through the tube and reach to the part where there are two blocks and some sleeping fish. Get them out of there and put the shell between the two blocks. Have Mario touch the shell and it will start rolling. Get Mario on it and it will start giving points and then lives.

Forest Fortress: Extra lives
Get a cape and go to Forest Fortress. At the end of the level, do not go through the big red Boss doors. Instead walk a little to the left and jump up onto the little ledge. Go to the right, and there will be a platform just big enough to fly from. You will notice a pool of lava there. Use your cape to fly over it, keeping balance. Be careful of the fireballs. At the end of the lava, you will find a compartment with 10 to 15 extra life mushrooms and a Boss door to take you to the same place as the original door.

At the end of the Forest Fortress in the Forest Of Illusion world get to a point before the first red door. Do not go in it. You will see stones on top of the first door. Go on those stones then go down the stairs and fly across the lava. Fireballs will shoot up when you are flying across. At the end of the lava there will be nine boxes. In those nine boxes are nine extra lives. There will be another red door. Go in that red door and defeat Renzor. Note: This requires some time. If you know how to fly well with Luigi or Mario then you should get through this trick easily.
