Defeat Bowser and Bowser jr in the last castle
By keeping a Mega mushroom in you "bag" and using it just after Bowser and jr appears, you can gain an easy victory by just walking into and through them.
Taking down Bowser jr
In the beginning of the game Bowser jr will run straight for you, if you jump on him he will take damage and retreat into his shell. You will need to do this 3 times to take him down, but if you do a Butt stomp on him instead of a normal jump it will do more damage, and if done in one of the first two hits it will take him down in two hits.
In the later castler Bowser jr will be throwing shells at you. Use these shells by jumping on them and throwing them back at him. This will cause Bowser jr to flip over, now lying defenceless on his back. The best idea is to do a butt stomp on him, since this will do more damage and it will therefore only take 2 hits to bring him down instead of 3.
Taking down bosses in two hits instead of three
Many bosses are defeated by jumping on them, if you use a butt stomp instead of a normal jump in the first or second attack, then you will defeat the boss in two hits even though it usually takes 3.
It is best to use the butt stomp as the second attack since some bosses (like the tank boss in level 6) gets thougher after each hit. Since using the butt stomp is seen as two attacks using it first will send the boss into its most dangerus state, also called the panik mode, last stand mode or angry clown mode.
Using the Butt stomp as the second attack will kill the boss and prevent it from going into panik mode.
Easy lives
Go to World 1-1 and move forward through the level until you reach the block that spits out a Mega shroom. After the Mega shroom comes out wait for it to move all the way to the right and grab it right before it falls down the hole. Now run towards the end of the level without stopping for any reason, and make sure you smash as many things on the way as possible but remember: DON'T STOP! It done correctly you will smash through the Flagpole and get a full 5 lives. The entire run can be done in less than a minute.
