Super Mario World
Strange Mario walk:
Quickly hold L + R + X + Y
+ Up when the Princess is freed in the final level. Mario
will walk strangely during the ending credits.
Climb and carry item:
Stand next to a vine with an item. Hold Up and
release Y to throw the object into the air, and quickly
climb the vine while holding Y. Mario will automatically
catch the item as it falls, and may continue to climb the vine.
Uphill Yoshi slide:
Face toward a slope and press Down and L
or R to slide upward.
Reuse P:
Use Yoshi in any level with a P. Immediately after
stepping on the P, turn around and eat it again. Yoshi will gulp
it, you can then spit it out. When it comes out, the P will be
full again.
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.
Alternatively, 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.
Finding the blue blocks:
The Blue Switch Palace is found in the Forest of illusions
2. Play the water maze as far up and to the right as you can go.
There are some diversions that lead you to pick up a life in the
mid-level of the maze, but eventually you have to go up in order
to find your way down. Work your way towards the bottom of the
maze. If you are in the correct section, you will see a wall to
the left that is rectangular and marked off by a line from the
larger wall that sits on it. You can walk right through that wall,
going left rather than right. The key to the blue switch palace
comes into view very quickly.
