Run around any wooden post 5 times and extra coins will pop-out. This is helpful if you are collecting 100 coins for an extra star in any level.

When you first enter the main doors to the castle walk up the stares and to your right go to the last door. In that room there will be three windows jump in the one on the right side. In that stage you can get two stars. To get the second go down the slide until the tunal opens up and jump off the left side befor the slop then you will hit the track below you. from then on out it's up to you to beat the course in 20 seconds to earn another star. from Lazy Boy

Say What Bowser?

Once you get 120 stars, go fight the final Bowser again, and there will be a different message.

Watch the Hands

In course 14 (Tick Tock Clock) if you jump in the clock when the hour hand is on ANY hour exactly, all of the moving parts inside will stop. If you jump in with the minute hand on the 6 every moving part will be extremly fast, and if you jump in the clock with the minute hand on the 6 it will be random.

Bridge Glitch

In the beginning of course one there is a wooden bridge. Go under that bridge, press A, and hold it. You will grab on to the bottom as you would on a wire net. Climb to the lowest point of the bridge. If you let go of button A you will automatically be pulled right through the bridge.

Staircase Weirdness

This one is surely a glitch. Take Mario to the second story (up from the foyer in the main part of the castle). Enter the door with the big pudgy star on it. Take about three or four steps, and face the wall on the left. Face the wall and jump two times. The second time Mario will slip through the underside of the staircase and appear on the stairs above.

Penguin Ride

In Course 10, Snowman's Land, another cool trick for Mario is his new way to cross the ice bridge. Use the cannon to launch up to the tree, then get to the face of the giant snowman. Before crossing the ice bridge by using the penguin's help (walking at his side), try jumping on his head instead.

What will happen is that Mario will end up sitting on the penguin's head, and will avoid the strong gust of wind that normally pushes him off.

Chomp Trick

In the first course, grab a small bomb-omb nearest Chomp (the big barking bomb). Then throw the little bomb under Chain Chomp and if it is done correctly the chain chomp will blast straight up and then fall back down onto the post. It's a lot of fun to watch and helps a little when you have to stomp down the post.

Secret Tunnel on the Ice Slide

1. On the first Ice stage, begin your slide.

2. On the first left turn, head for the row of Coins.

3. You'll slide into a tunnel that holds 2 extra lives and takes you straight to the finish.

4. Get busted for cheating???

To find Yoshi

1. Collect all 120 Stars

2. The grid near the Fish Pond in the Castle Garden will open, revealing a cannon

3. Shoot yourself onto the roof of the Castle and find Yoshi

4. He gives you 100 lives and a new triple jump and shortly after departs.

Secret Room

Get 120 stars and shoot yourself to the top of the roof were Yoshi is. Then get hit the red switch block and fly to the highest ledge you can stand on (this is on the summit of the castle). Run up the wall and you eventually you should fall in the roof in to a messed up room. Now try to see if you can find your way out.

Obese Penguin

Once you have gotten all 120 stars take a journey back to cool mountain and enter the 'big race' with the penguin. Now he's huge and takes a long time to beat. Too bad you don't get any reward for beating him, but it sure is hard.

Bowser Cheat

When you fight Bowser for the third time right as your about to enter the pipe go behind the top left pillar and there should be a one-up. You can repeat this trick after every time you die.

Hat Trick

On level 10 go up to the top of the mountain and get your hat blown off. Then go to the warp underneath one of the small trees. Continue to warp back and forth between the two spots. Every time you warp back and forth another hat gets piled on top of the old one! Then go back and find the pile of hats. Pick one of the hats up (there should still be a pile left) then pick up one more, all the hats should disapear and you should be holding your hat in your hand. Now you can go and kill enemies with your hat!

Floating Fortress - Unlimited Coins To get unlimited coins in the Floating Fortress stage, follow these steps. 1. find one of those flat guys that try to fall on you 2. stand under one, where he can fall on you 3. right before he hits, do a backflip 4. you should then appear on his back, and a coin pops out you can do this as long as you want, just be careful. this works practicaly all the time, so if you cant do it the first time, just keep trying

Castle Hint

When you go inside the castle,stand on the sun in the middle of the floor. Now press the top c button and look up into the sunlight. The screen will change, and you'll be flying up in the air!

Coins on Building If you are having trouble getting the two red coins on top of the buildings down town in wet-dry world here is a way to get them.  Go to the highest water raising diamond then practice swimming until you know how to swim fast.  Then swim to the lower water level diamond. Once you touch it Quickly swim to the closest building with a box on top. By the time you get there you should have just enough water to jump up and grab the edge of the building and pull yourself up and break the box to get the red coin.  Then do a long jump tothe other building and get the other red coin. 

Secret Lives When you enter the castle go to where Jolly Roger Bay is (course 3). When you enter the door turn to your left look up and you will see a black square. Jump in it and you will get a 1-Up. There are two more in Course 1. To find these, cross the bridge where the nuthead is and go to the tree on the right side of the cannon. Climb up the tree and you will receive a 1-Up. Also, go to the flower patch and teleport to the other one and you will see another flower patch near it w/coins. Collect the coins and receive a 1-Up. Interesting, huh?

Distorting Mario's face Right after you enter  the the game, before you press start to play, press A on the control  pad and you will see a little hand appear. You can now pull on Mario's ears nose hat etc.

Swim in air For this code you must have the walk up hills and unlimited energy codes for your gameshark. Activate them both. You should have the ability to walk under water. After you drain the moat, (easily done with walk up hills- go into the basement and walk up the slope with glass blocking you from jumping and follow the hallway until you get to the pillars, then jump on them with your butt) rest the game. Go back into your game as usual except instead of walking through the main entance, walk through the door on your left where the moat was. You should now be swimming.

Wooden Chairlift Glitch You need to have Gameshark for this code.  Turn on your Gameshark with Super Mario 64, and select the"Mario Can Walk Up Hills" cheat (you can also turn on any other codes, but you have to have that one on).  Start the game and go to "Cool, Cool Mountain".  Start the level and go down to where the wooden chairlift thing is (it's by the mother penguin).  Get on the chairlift and instead of it taking you up, you stay floating in the air!  You can stay there as long as you want, but if you move, you will fall from your floating position and die. 

Unlimited Lives To do this you have to lower the water under the bridge of the castle. Go into the hole where the blue switch is. When you are in slide down. When you are sliding there are platforms that have on them 1UPs get them if you can and fall down. Don't worry you will not dye you will be near the fountain of the castle and your lives stay the same. repeat this until you have 100 lives!

Unlimited Lives #2 In the first level when you are at the bridge to go to the mountain go to the left and you will see a bush surronded by coins. If you get all the coins and go in the bush and walk around a life will appear. Chase it. The go down and you will see a little cave (sort of) with out a roof. In it will be a coin a bomb-on, and a life get it and quit the level. Repeat.
