Walkthrough --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - World # 1 - - - Level One: ----------- Who Do I Use: Use toadstool - her gliding feature makes this level easier. Secret Rooms: There are two secret areas you can access here by throwing potions and making doors. Inside are life enhancing mushrooms and coins for the slot machine at the end. Get as many of these as possible. Killing The Baddies: In this game you can stand on top of enemies, pick them up, and throw them at other enemies, killing them. Or you could use veggies, a superstar, or a POW block. General Help: At the waterfall - glide past just because it's easier. The only other feature are the vines, which are easily passed by using the stopwatch, which freezes all enemies for a short time. Also, you'll fight a boss that shoots eggs out of it's mouth. Hop on the egg, pick it up, and hit the boss with it. Repeat 3 times to win. Level Two: ----------- Now Who Do I Pick: Toad, he's nice and small... Fly Fly Away: Here you'll need to take the enemy's magic carpet, and fly low to cross the gap. Oh No, Locked: To open the locked door go down the pipe to the right, get the key, and open the door. Key Help: The 'Key Enemies' only chase you when you are HOLDING the key. Throw it forward to gain ground without being chased. Sad Puzzles, Sadder Enemies: The rest of the level is well - easy. A few bombs there and a few throws here, and your done. As always, that stupid egg dino is back, and again, 3 hits will take care of it. Level Three: ------------- Character: Mario, he is just plain good. Warp Pipe: There is a warp pipe right next to the door near the middle of the level. Chains, Bridges, and Baddies: Here you'll need to climb the various chains, and at one point make a bridge out of blocks to get to the top. Once you reach the top, grab the key, and fall to the very bottom. Pass the electric area with ease, and fight this worlds boss. To defeat this mouse, hit it with 3 of it's own bombs while avoiding the various explosions. Pretty simple, as it's in 2D. - - - World # 2 - - - Level One: ----------- Character: Toad - he's the quickest grabber. Sand Sand And More - Sand: Here you'll need to dig your way down in the sand, and enter the door. This is where toad is useful... More Eggs: Once again, hit the yoshi wanna-be with three well aimed eggs, get the special marble-like thing, pick it up, enter the Crow. Yes, this is one creative game... Level Two: ----------- Character: Luigi or Princess Toadstool - as their jumping is superb. No Need To Explain: This is more of the same, and extremly easy with your jumping abilites. Just kill the enemies, get the items, and laugh at the simpleness of the NES. Ahh thank god for N64. ~The Rest Of This Walkthrough MAY Be Coming Soon~ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- VI. Tips Tricks And Game Genie Codes --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stuck? Bored? Try these tips and codes (courtesy of gamesages and world-of- nintendo) - - - Tips Tricks And Other Miscellaneous Stuff - - - Luigi's Double Jump Move Luigi next to an enemy and jump, then press jump again at the peak of Luigi's leap. If your timing was right he'll jump even higher. Original Super Mario Theme Song Get a magic potion. Hold it until a star shows up. Grab the star and put the potion down while you're still invincible. Enter the door you just made and wait. Just before your invincibility wears off, exit the door and you'll hear the original Super Mario Brothers theme song. Warp to World 4 In level 1-3 go to the area just before the brick background. Pick up the plants until you get a bottle. Then go past the brick background until you find a pot & throw the bottle on it. Go in the door and down the pot into World 4. Warp to World 5 To warp to level 5, first get to level 3-1. When you enter the first door, fall all the way down. You also have to be in the middle as you fall. When you stop, you will find a platform with a door. Enter the door, then you have to look for the potion in the grass. Pick it up, then throw it on the ground, enter the door in cyberspace, and go into the vase and you will be at level 5. Warp to World 6 In level 4-2 In the area with the whales find a bottle and throw it on the next pot. Enter the doorway and go down the pot into World 6. Warp to World 7 Work your way to level 5-3. (It would be a good idea to choose Luigi for this level because of his superb jumping skills.) Go up the ladder at the beginning of the level, and then jump up onto the ledge above the ladder. As soon as you get on top of the ledge, grab the first grass on the right. It is a potion. Use the potion and go through the door. Now, while in Sub-space, go down through the jar and voila! Now you're in Level 7! - - - More Tips Tricks And Other Miscellaneous Stuff - - - Fighting Wart -------------- To beat Wart easy, just have princess grab a vegie and jump to the high ledge that is in front of Wart. You can jump and let her glide behind Wart. Here you are safe from Wart (unless you run into him). When his mouth opens, just throw the vegie in and watch him suffer. You can jump over Wart and grab another vegie. Keep repeating the process and he'll be dead in no time! Level 4-3 tips --------------- Here are 2 helpful tips for Level 4-3. Pick Luigi or Princess because they are the best ones for this level. When you go through the door at the beginning of the level, you will see an few grasses on the snowy hill. Pick up the one with the potion and go all the way to the left where you can get the mushroom. after that, go back to the door and go back in there. Then go back outside. Pick up the potion again and hop on Ostro's egg to get to the small island where there are a lot of grasses, throw the potion, go in the door, and collect about 6 bonuses. Here is the Luigi or princess part. when you get to the door where you go into the building, the road ends and there is a ledge. All you have to do is run, jump over the pit, and you will land on the other side, and then go in the door and it will lead strait to Fryguy. This is just a thing to make the game easier and faster instead of going through the building. Carry items to bosses ---------------------- Select any character in any level and find a Potion. Pick it up and drop it directly on top of a blade of grass. Now enter subspace and leave. Once you leave, press the B button repeatedly and rapidly. If all goes well, you'll end up with the item appearing on top of your head, but wait - it's not really there at all! It's just an illusion, but once you enter a door, climb a vine, or die, the item will become real! The advantage to doing this is that you can carry items to places where they would not normally occur. You can carry items to the bosses, but better yet, this trick ultimately leads to the 5th warp zone! (See below) Secret warp ------------ Sure, everyone knows about the first 4 warp zones, but I'm going to show you how to get the 5th one! First, here's the list: 1. World 1-3 to World 4-1 2. World 3-1 to World 5-1 3. World 4-2 to World 6-1 4. World 5-3 to World 7-1 5. World 6-1 to World 6-1 That's right, it's not a misprint! Now on with the trick: In World 6-1, select any character, and go down the tube which has the Magic Potion. Now pick up the Potion and carry it all the way to the blade of grass between two cacti, which also contains a Potion. Drop the Potion directly on top of that blade of grass and enter subspace. Upon exiting, you'll need to execute the "Illusion item glitch" (see below). If you executed that glitch properly, you'll have an illusion of a Potion on top of your head. If you don't succeed, you'll need to start over from scratch by getting the Potion from the tube and repeating the process. After successfully getting the glitch to work, go into the cave ahead where you'd normally go. Once inside you'll have a real Potion which you can take with you. Drop it where you see the long series of tubes and go into Subspace. It just so happens that any tube which you can't normally enter can be turned into a Warp Zone inside Subspace. Now you can warp to... W 6-1 once again! So why would you want to warp back to the same level? You can collect coins over and over, as well as the two 1-ups (see the 2-up trick below) in order to rack up on lives if you haven't already reached the max of P4 (254) reserve lives. Enjoy!! Get two 1ups ------------- In World 6-1 select either Mario or Toad. Go into the cave and go down into the tube which has 4 blades of grass beneath a lot of sand. The two pieces of grass on both ends contain a 1-up, while the ones in the middle contain Sprouts. Ordinarily you can only collect one 1-up in a given level, but with speed you can get two. Pick up the two middle pieces of grass and throw the Sprouts. Now stand on the right edge of the left piece of grass or the left edge of the right piece of grass. Pick it up and quickly run to the other one and pick it up as well. If you manage to pick up the second piece of grass before the first 1-up vanishes, you'll be rewarded with both. Make the logs fly up --------------------- This has no strategic value but you can make the logs fly up. Here's how: 1. Get a POW. 2. Find a log falling down a waterfall (hard stuff so far). 3. Get a running start and jump towards the log making sure that you land on the log, and the POW hits solid ground. 4. If you did it right the log'll fly up into the sky never to be seen again (until you leave the screen). Throwing an item and still have it ----------------------------------- Sometimes, when you place the potion on a patch of grass, after leaving sub space (don't go through the door!), if you are quick, you can pull up the grass very quickly, and the game counts it as if you are not carrying anything! Although you can't throw it, you can pick up anything else and throw it, and still be carrying the item. The trick wears off when you enter a new place. When you do, you will be carrying the item as normal. This trick is random and (obviously) only works with toad. This trick is a bug, and is untested in Mario All-Stars. Pick up a plant and then catch it ---------------------------------- Pick up any type (ripe or unripe) while holding down the B button. Then run over to an enemy, while holding the item. Throw it while still running, and when it "bounces" back, leap over on top of the floating item and you can pick it up! Never let go of the B button. Shortcut to the World 1-1 boss ------------------------------- In World 1-1 go in the door after the bridge. There you will find a bean stalk, climb it. There you find a waterfall jump across it. There you will find land you do a super jump a shy guy get rid of it. There you will find a ladder use the bombs above to shadder the bumpy place if you see a door there you bombed the right place. Go through the door and hear the battle music and fight the boss. Change the color of the Mushroom Blocks ---------------------------------------- There is a neat trick that you can do where you can change the color of the Mushroom Blocks (those ones you can throw and stack up). Here's what you do. You first need to get to a place that has Mushroom Blocks and some type of vine (vine, chain, rope, etc. anything you can climb). The first place you will see something like this, is in World 1-3, in the area where you find Mouser (right as you enter the door). This is easiest to do with Princess Toadstool, but can be done with any of the characters. Ok. Here's what you do. Pick up one of the Mushroom Blocks. Now, jump so that you are floating (if you're Princess) right on the chain (not climbing, floating in air). Keep pressing the button to throw the block until it becomes wedged in the vine/chain/etc. If it falls, just try again. Once it's wedged in there, it will change colors (for example, if done in a chain, it will be gray in a vine it will be green). You can then pick it up (if you can get on top of it), and it will leave a hole in the vine/chain/etc. As I said before, it works with the other characters if they just jump, but I suggest mastering it with Princess first (you get more air time). Careful, because you also may trap yourself if you create too many holes, or a hole too high that you can't climb the vine/chain/etc. BTW, this also works on platforms (instead of vines), but only the ones that you can jump under it (and go through the bottom of it), but can stand on the top. These are usually harder, since it's usually harder to get the right height to your jump (they are usually too low or too high). It seems this "bug" was taken out of the All-stars version, because it doesn't work in the game. Skip the locked door in World 1-2 ---------------------------------- In World 1-2 you can skip the locked door by picking up a Ninja and throw it at the edge or around it. Jump on it and hold down to charge your super jump. Jump when the Ninja jumps its highest and jump. Subspace music trick --------------------- If you have a potion in your hands, go near a cherry when you collected 4 (1 more to be invincible). Drop the potion, get the last cherry, get Starman, and immediately go to Subspace. Wait until about 1.5 - 2 seconds after you start flashing (invincibility starting to wear off), and exit the door. If it is done correctly, the music of Subspace plays until completion and starts again. This sounds like the music of the first part. Different 1up location ----------------------- In World 1-1, if you don't get the 1up by the POW block, you can get it in the middle plant at the left of the short cut to Birdo, on the top platform. Skip the door in World 1-2 --------------------------- In World 1-2, if you are the Princess, you can jump off the Magic Carpet right when it disappears, keep going to the right and land on the platform way above the door. Die for more coins ------------------- If you are in Sub Space where you can die, get the coins and die. You will be able to go back and get the coins again until you get them twice without dying, like in World 5-1. How to get more coins ---------------------- If you don't get coins in Sub Space the first time, you can get them twice the second time, like in World 1-1, if you just get the mushroom the first time, you can get up to 14 coins at the second place, or World 1-2, you can get up to 18 coins at the second place. To get the potion to appear again, just go in a door and come back out. Toad is the fastest at picking up coins. Get an extra POW block ----------------------- To get an extra POW block, use the Magic Potion by a POW block. In Sub-Con, get the POW block. When you leave Sub-Con, there will be another one in the same place where you got the first one. Level tips ----------- Level 1-1 In the first cave, climb the first beanstalk. Jump over the waterfall. Super-jump over the high spot with the pink Shyguy. Throw him down the ditch (Where the ladder starts). Then throw a bomb so it will destroy the weak wall. Go in the destroyed wall. Then pick up the grass near the door (a bomb). Throw it in the ditch. Roast Shyguy! Level 1-3 Get the second potion with the pink Shyguy on the platform. Don't throw it! Go to the end of the Level with the vase. Now throw it. Go in the door, then go in the vase to warp to Level 4! Level 4-2 Climb the beanstalk. When you get on the ice, duck under low bridge Beezos and jump over the really low ones. When Flurries come, jump over them and run!!! Do the same thing you did with the last group of Beezos- what you did with the first. Get to the door. Jump on the whale with grass and pick the potion grass. Throw it and go in the door. Jump on the whale's tail and get the mushroom. Then go in the door. Go down the line of whales until you see a cherry. Get on the whale's blowhole. When he spouts, Get the two cherries. Don't go down yet. Jump on the platform and you'll see another cherry. Get it. After that you'll see three platforms, covered with grass. The third only has one grass. Pick it up. It's potion. Don't throw it! Go down the long line of whales until you see a cherry. Stand on the blowhole again, and get the cherry. Jump on the icy platform to get the other cherry wait there to get the Starman. Be invincible! Go down the line of whales, destroying everything! Jump to the platform with the vase. Throw the potion on the platform. Go in the door. In Sub-Space, go into the vase for a warp to Level 6! Level 6-2 Jump and super-jump the high walls. Get in the door. You'll see an Albatoss. If you want, get the nearby grass and hit that sucker with the pumpkin that comes out!! Jump on the near platform. Jump back, and you'll see two Albatosses. Jump on the lower one's back. When other Albatosses come from the other way, jump on them to jump on the higher one that is going right. Keep going until you see two platforms with grass. If you want to, jump on the platform. Pull out the right grass to get the potion. Throw the potion next to you (don't throw it in the pits!!) and go in the door. Get the mushroom to increase your life meter. Go back in the door to go back to reality. Jump on the Albatoss to go back to the beginning and repeat process. This time go to the end. To beat the Ostro, get on the high platform. throw the mushroom block on Ostro's head. One hit. Go down to the floor and get the other mushroom block. Throw it far, not in Ostro's reach, but enough to hit him. Two hits. Jump on Ostro's head to reach the block and not get hit by his fire. Pick up the block and give it to Ostro. Three hits, he's out. Pick up the crystal ball. Super-jump to the high platform to the Bird door. - - - Game Genie Codes - - - SZNESXVK Infinite lives GZELVXSE Infinite life meter (except if you hit a spike) SXUASXOU Quick pick up AEUEKKGL Special "squat" high jumps PPXAOIAA Princess has mega-float PAXAOIAA Princess has mega-float and lunar descent PESEGLGA Super moonjumps for Mario AAEEZGPA Mega moonjumps for Luigi PENALLGA Super moonjumps for Toad PAXAPGGA Super moonjumps for Princess KAXAPGGA Pogo Stick for princess XAXAPGGA Super Pogo for Princess AEXALGZA Speed up enemies YAXXIYZE Strong Tryclyde YAVXVGGE Strong Fryguy YAEXTPGE Strong Clawgrip LEAPOT Holes ELKELG Can't kill anyone KIKESO Nice colors OKPETZ Logs in first level are gone OPEOPE Drill Mario EEAPOT Badies are gone EPAEPA Weird in beginning EPTEPT Levels are messed up EPKEPK Enemies glow PXUASXOU Pick up items with legs YEXALGZA All sorts of funky effects ANNEEGEY All characters have mega-float capability (you will float until you release the jump button).
