Learn about the different Toad Houses in Super Mario Bros. 2: Green Houses for 1-Ups, Item Houses for power-ups, and Star Houses for Midas Flowers.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When you enter a Toad House in Super Mario Bros. 2, the type of house determines the reward or activity.
  2. 2
    Green House: This house features a mini-game where you hit a giant boxing glove upward with a track below it. If the glove hits a 1-Up that appears on a ledge above, you earn that 1-Up. You keep all earned extra lives after the game ends.
  3. 3
    Item House: In a regular colored house, three random items (Mushroom, Fire Flower, Raccoon Leaf, Mini Mushroom) will be tossed onto ledges above. You can take any or all of these items, but remember you can only have one item in storage and one currently active at a time.
  4. 4
    Star House: This white house with a gold star grants you a Midas Flower upon entry.
Tips
  • Pay attention to the color and size of the Toad House to know what reward to expect.
  • In the Green House, timing your hits on the boxing glove is key to earning 1-Ups.
  • In the Item House, consider which items you need most, keeping your active and storage limits in mind.
