Infinite Lives in World 3-1 ("Turtle Tipping")

Near the end of stage 3-1, you will see two turtles coming down the steps. Hop over the first turtle and let it pass. The second turtle is the one you want. Hop slightly as it gets within range, so that you come down and its shell remains on the step. It will bounce against the wall and back to Mario, repeatedly, and points will rapidly multiply as you remain in place, bouncing it against the wall. Soon, the points will multiply to the point where you receive an extra life for each bop, and you can continue to collect lives until you have as many as you need. It takes a lot of practice to get the timing right, but once you do, this is an easy way to get dozens of lives.

Warp Zone Locations

Warp to World 6, 7 or 8

When you get to world 4-2, go past the first set of '?' blocks and the elevator. Jump the hole and you will see a slightly lowered ceiling overhead. You can jump around beneath that area to reveal invisible blocks that form a staircase leading up toward the overhead bricks. Break those bricks and one of them will cause a beanstalk to appear. Climb the beanstalk to reach a secret bonus area. At the end of the bonus area, you will find pipes that allow you to warp directly to world 6, 7, or 8.

Warp to World 2, 3 or 4

Play through most of World 1-2. You will reach two sets of elevator platforms. Let the second set of platforms carry you toward the black top part of the screen, where your score is registered. When you are almost even with the brick ceiling, jump from the elevator platform and to the right. Run along the ceiling and you will reach an opening that drops you into a room with pipes. They allow you to warp to worlds 2, 3, or 4.

Warp to World 5

Make your way to the end of World 1-2 at the place where there's a pipe going to the next level. Break two blocks so there's one at the end touching the pipe.

Now duck and jump backward toward the brick (don't break it!) If you did this right you should go through the wall and pipe into a warp zone. Ignore the first pipe, then jump down the second pipe and you warp to World 5-1.

Glitches and Bugs

How to Get to the "Minus World," World -1

To get to the never-ending water level, play through most of world 1-2 and make sure that you have the Fire Power ability. At the part right near the end of the stage, just past the second series of elevator platforms, there's a pipe that leads above ground so that you can tag the level flag. Instead of entering the pipe, hop onto it and turn your attention to the overhead blocks. Break the second and third block away from the pipe, along the ceiling. It's important that one block remains unbroken, the one positioned right next to the pipe.

Now, face left the way you came. Duck and jump backward toward the pipe, so that your head would graze the brick, but not break it. You need to remain ducked the whole time. If you aim properly, Mario's foot will catch on the pipe, and he will start to slide through it. Let him continue to slide all the way through the wall, into the screen that normally would allow you to warp to worlds 2, 3, or 4. Enter the first pipe to reach Negative World (-1).

Fire Power Skate

You must have firepower to make this work. Anytime you exit a pipe or start a level through a doorway, hold B+A. You should automatically jump, and if done right, you'll be able to skate on one foot for a little while, as long as you hold down B.

Moon Walk

On level 4-2 at the beginning you have to jump two things. One is big, the other is narrow. On the narrow one jump and hold down. (If you did this right you should be under some bricks.) Let go of down and keep holding left. Mario then will moon walk.

Fire Power While Small

To do this you need to be big or have fire power. First you must be in the last level of any world except for 8. Then you must jump on Bowser's nose and the hammer that causes the bridge to retract. You have to touch the hammer and Bowser's nose at the same time for it to work. You will start flashing like you have been hit, but you will stay big. When you get a mushroom in the next world it will make you small. Now, go find a flower and you'll have fire power while small until you take a hit.

Tips and Tricks

Blooper Dodge

If you just walk along the sea floor (as regular Mario), Bloopers will never be able to kill you because they are forced back up just before they hit the floor(or you).

Extra Lives from Turtles

When you stomp on a turtle, kick it to the right and follow it. If it hits eight other turtles then you'll win an extra life.

Extra Points from Fireworks

When you touch the flag pole, take note of how many seconds remain on the timer. If you touch the pole just as the last digit is a 1, 3 or a 6, you will trigger 1, 3 or 6 fireworks, accordingly. Each firework increases your score by additional points.

The Little Mermaid - Official Teaser Trailer

Check out the teaser trailer for The Little Mermaid, the upcoming live-action reimagining of the animated musical classic. The film stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, Daveed Diggs as the voice of Sebastian, Jacob Tremblay as the voice of Flounder, Awkwafina as the voice of Scuttle, Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric, Art Malik as Sir Grimsby, Noma Dumezweni as Queen Selina, Javier Bardem as King Triton, and Melissa McCarthy as Ursula. The Little Mermaid is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The youngest of King Triton's daughters, and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea, and while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart. She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land, but ultimately places her life – and her father's crown – in jeopardy. The Little Mermaid, directed by Rob Marshall, opens in theaters nationwide on May 26, 2023.
