1-UP TRICK

This trick allows you to get many extra lives. Play the level until you reach the halfway checkpoint, then continue until you reach the pit full of Spinys. Hit the second rotating block from the left to get a silver P-Switch. Grab it and head back to before the halfway marker, between the two purple pipes. Use the P-Switch, then collect the coins from the pipes. Run back left and collect the horde of silver coins from the transformed Koopas, earning you many lives. You can exit the level and repeat this process as many times as you like.

Tips
  • Save a shell to hit the green ! block for a cape feather.
  • The second checkpoint is found after the gap with two pink pipes.
  • The cave area requires activating a P-Switch to create a bridge of used blocks.
  • The 1-UP trick involves using a silver P-Switch found after the pit of Spinys.
  • The 1-UP trick can be repeated by exiting and re-entering the level.
