After you have given back the baby penguin to the mother, go back there
later and she will give you another star.
When you are racing against the penguin, half way down, there will be
a row of coins. Follow the coins into the wall and there will be a secret passage.
Don’t try using this against the penguin or else he will accuse you of cheating.
When you are in the castle go upstairs and then to the right. You will
see a door. Go in. then you will see 3 princess windows. jump in the right window.
It’s a secret level! Collect the coins and get the extra up!
Anyway... When you fall out of the course you will NOT die.
On Tall-Tall Mountain head left at the beginning.
Collect the life that is in the corner and then jump off the mountain.
If you jumped off the correct way you will find that a gust of wind will blow you
further up the course.
When you are out side the castle stand on the bridge railing and press:
a,b,b,a,^,r,a and the Mario Kart character(Louige)will follow you and give you endless
lives.
Here's a way to get to Yoshi without getting 120 stars.
Go to the right side of Princess Toadstool's Castle. Next to the slope
that leads into the moat there is a V shape.
Use your wall-kick, move to climb up the curve and find Yoshi.
Go to the first Bowser. Then don't throw, grab, or touch him. Get in
front of him until he's about to shoot out fire. Run and then go back to the fire
and it will turn into coins. Get 1000 coins and you will get a green emerald. And
it will say 25 next to it. Every time you die it will go up one and everytime you
get a life it will go down one. If you get to many lives and you go to 0 you will
go back to regular lives. This is a good emerald because if you go to the top of
the castle and died and got a game over you would have to go all the way up there
again. That was just an example. If Bowser’s fire doesn't turn into coins for
a while get hit by the fire.
Just before you enter the castle, there is a waterfall. If you go next
to the waterfall you will notice a clump of three trees. Climb up the third tree
and you will get an extra life. If you now go inside the castle, go up the stairs
go outside again, and another life will be in the same tree. Repeat this until you
have enough lives.
To get the red flying cap, go in the castle, face the stairs, and look
up. You will be transported to a different world. There should be a switch around
you somewhere. Press it. Then, go to the other switch and hit it with your head.
You should see a cap fall. Get it. You now need to jump over the edge or you can
just fly around.
With 120 stars, go outside hop in the cannon and shoot onto the roof
and talk to Yoshi up there. He’ll give you 100 lives and a cool new triple
jump.
On huge-small island get big and go to the top and do a butt-stomp and
you'll hear a little jingle then get small and go back in, then you fight the centipede.
After you collect 120 stars go to the place where the penguin is, when
you see him he is 3 times bigger!
