In most levels, there are multi-colored blocks held up by screws. With the white ones, you can drop behind the scenes to escape enemies or find secret exits by holding down on the d-pad for 5 seconds. In World 1-3 towards the end of the level, drop behind from on top the white block and run behind the black curtain. You will uncover a hidden mushroom house which contains a warp whistle.

- Life Swapping
This trick is only done on Mario and Luigi Mode. To do this trick find a small m or l on the map screen, press the A button on it and start swapping lives using the controll pad. Then press the B button to get out.
- Lots Of Lives
First go to level 1-2. Go about half-way through the level until there is a pirana plat by some coins in the air. Below the plat there are two bricks, smah the one with the P block and smash it. While the coins are bricks, run up and go to the right of the pirana plant. Jump and a 1-Up mushroom will pop up. Quickly grab the mushroom and go into the tunnel. When you come out of the tunnel, do this process over and over until time runs out and you will have a bunch of lives.
- Magic whistle
On World One, Level One, get a red mushroom, and, if possible, a leaf (Just in case). Jump on top of the white platform. Hold down the down button until you drop behind the white platform. Then run, and don't stop even if you run into an enemy. You can jump if you need to. When you come to the black area, you will go behind it. You will go into a room, where you will see toad, and he will give you the magic whistle. This allows you to go to any of the next 3 worlds.
- Many Tanooki Suits
In World 5 (Cloud World), the first available mushroom house has a Tanooki Suit. Get it and beat levels until you get to the cloud part of the world by beating the spiral tower. The game offers to save your game. Save it, then get game over. When you continue, you keep the Tanooki Suit you got at the mushroom house, and the mushroom house has returned! All of the other levels remain defeated as well, though the spiral tower remains standing, so you cna beat it and save your game, get game over, and get another Tanooki Suit each time! The suits make good replacements for leaves, mushrooms, and useless items (like music boxes) in your item list. Glitch only works for World 5 due to the ability to beat the spiral tower as many times as you want and save after each time.
