Super Mario 64 Cheats and Tips

1. Acquiring Extra Lives

One of the most important aspects of maintaining your momentum in Super Mario 64 is ensuring you have plenty of lives. But how do you stock up on these valuable assets? Here are some strategies:

  • Catch the 1-Up Mushrooms: These green mushrooms are scattered across various levels, providing an instant extra life when you catch them.
  • Collect 100 Coins: Accumulating 100 coins in any level will reward you with an additional life.
  • Defeat Enemies: Certain enemies, when defeated, drop a 1-Up Mushroom.

2. Unlocking Secret Levels

Super Mario 64 is known for its secret levels, hidden away and waiting for you to discover them. Here are some methods to unlock them:

  • To enter the "Tower of the Wing Cap," look up into the sunlight while standing in the middle of the castle's main hall after obtaining 10 stars.
  • The "Vanish Cap Under the Moat" level can be accessed by draining the water outside the castle. To do this, pound the two columns in the basement.
  • To get to the "Cavern of the Metal Cap," you need to play as Luigi in multiplayer mode and perform a backward somersault on the small island in Hazy Maze Cave.

3. Fighting Bosses

Boss fights can be challenging, but with the right strategies, they can be easier to handle. Here are some tips:

  • Against Bowser, always aim for the nearest bomb when you swing him by the tail.
  • For King Bob-omb, avoid his grabs and pick him up from behind, then throw him.
  • While fighting Eyerok, aim for the eyes in its hands with a punch or a ground-pound.

4. Collecting Power Stars

Power Stars are crucial to progress in Super Mario 64. Here are some strategies to collect them efficiently:

  • Always pay attention to the hint given before you enter a level. It can often guide you to the star.
  • Collecting 100 coins in each course will grant you a star.
  • Some stars are hidden inside objects or enemies, so leave no stone unturned.

5. Navigating Challenging Courses

Some courses in Super Mario 64 can be quite tricky. Here are a few general tips:

  • Master the triple jump: Mario's triple jump is not only higher but also covers more distance. It's a great way to reach higher platforms or cover large gaps.
  • Use the wall jump: Mario can jump off walls to reach higher areas. This is especially useful in narrow vertical spaces.
  • Take your time: Don't rush through a course. Take your time to explore and understand the layout.

As with many platformers, the key to mastering Super Mario 64, is patience and practice, but we really hope these Super Mario 64 cheats and tips will help make the journey a bit easier.

Unlocakbles

Unlock Special Triple Jump:

Get 120 stars and the lives from Yoshi on the roof of the castle.

Unlock Extra Coins:

Whenever there is a post in a level run around it 5 times and some coins will drop out. These coins are good if you need more health or need to collect 100 coins.


Ice Slide in Cool, Cool Mountain

Stay on the ice slide in the 'Cool, Cool Mountain' level and follow the cluster of coins that do not follow the slide and instead point to a wall. These coins will lead you to a secret tunnel hidden in the wall that you can get 2 one-up mushrooms and reach the finish line faster.


Go Through and Under Tower

If you fly low enough at the location where you unlock the Flying Cap ALL 5 towers' bottoms will become semi-transparent allowing you to fly through the semi-transparent walls. Don't hit the bottom otherwise you will be taken back to the castle.


Reach the 3rd Bowser without 75 Stars

If you go up the stairs jumping backwards rapidly this glitch will eventually enable you to get to the end without having the required 75 stars.


All120 stars

play the game for 1 week then stop playing for 9-10 weeks,when you turn it on you will have 120 stars.but it will only work on one file.


Unlimited 1-up's (American Only)

Finnaly SuperCheatMaster is back to tell you the way to get unlimited 1 up's on the american sm64. Go into the castle go outside and find the waterfall. Now three trees away from the waterfall clib it and get a 1 up go into the castle go back out and repeat for unlimited 1 up's.


Stop time

In the clock level thing make sure the minute hand is touching the twelve and the level will be frozen Smile

Thanx 4 listnin


Mario's Combat Moves:

For those of you that have not stopped to see what Mario can do, listen up. First of all, Mario can do a Double Punch Kick move. All you need to do is press B 3 times. Mario will punch twice then kick! Next, Mario is able to fight walls. Face a wall then jump. When you're about to hit the wall, press B. Mario will kick the wall and bounce off. Sorry to say, you've lost that fight! I wanna show you how to get Bowser in Bowser in the Sky to get neara bomb. Simply get near Bowser. He will start to charge you so just keep running towards the closest bomb. Then dodge Bowser just as he's about to hit you on the edge. Bowser will teeter on the side. Now pick Bowser up and you should be close enough to the bomb to hit it!

P.S. Sorry for the long cheat.


Controller glich

Run around and unplug the controller while running and mario will move on his own.


Crazy Mario

To make Mario look crazy you need to mess with your cartridge. First,lift one side of the cartridge keeping one side in the N64. After that,Mario looks weird.

Endless stairs glitch

there is a glitch to go up bowser's endless stairs without 70 stars. to do it, you run up the stairs forward for a couple of seconds then turn around and long-jump (run, crouch[L], and jump), then keep long-jumping, but backwards, up the steps (NOTE: you need to be pressing A as fast as you can) and if done right, you will be at the top of the steps.

PS: hard to do, may require practice

PSS: can only be done for fun, because when you do the glitch and beat bowser, at the end of the credits when mario says, "thank you very much for playing my game", the game freezes at that screen....so the glitch is useless (and im not the only one that has had the game freeze at that point...)


The castles black room of death

You need to have the moon jump code for this . First go to the top of the castle, go to the area where the picture of peach,stand on top of the picture jump to the 3rd floor of the castle use the moon jump code and jump to the wall you will go through the wall ,don't move you will fall down and then you will land behind the door but they want show the inside of the castle go through the door you will land inside the castle but behind the door go through the door you will land in the same area, so when you are in the castle go through the wall and you will be inside the castle

It will really work


Secret cannon and the top of the castle

If you've ever explored the area around Peaches castle, you probably found a mysterious grate like thing on the ground near the water; this is a cannon grate. How is it opened? Its a difficult bonus to get as the grate is only opened by the obtaining of all 120 stars.

What this cannon leads to the roof of the castle. What's the point of getting on top of the castle? Yoshi is up there(along with 3 extra lives, and a flying cap) and Yoshi(helpful as ever) will say "Mario!!! Is that really you??? It has been so long scince our last adventure! They told me I might see you if I waited here, but I'd just about given up hope! Is it true? Have you really beaten Bowser? And restored the stars to the castle? And saved the princess? I knew you could do it! Now I have a very special mess..


Wing Cap-No Damage from Falling

Hold A while falling to float(WingCap only). Also, dive and hold A-- something funny happens!!!

P.S, Can be done anywhere

P.S.S, Letting go of A stops the floating.


Level Painting Secrets

Three levels have entry secrets.

1. WET-DRY WORLD. The higher you go in, the higher the water will be.

2. TINY-HUGE ISLAND. The left painting will make stuff tiny, the right one will make stuff huge.

3. TICK TOCK CLOCK. If you enter with the minute hand closest to 12, nothing moves. If it's closest to 3, things move slow. If it's closest to 6, they move randomly. And if it's closest to 9, things move fast.

Hope this helped your gaming skills!


Bob-omb Batttefeild gate glitch

(I'm not talking about the chain chomp gate I'm talking about the other one) Have a bob-omb chase you than go in front of the gate and have mario "feel" it keep feeling and when the bob-omb comes into contact with you,you should be on the other side of the gate!


Wall Kicks Will Work Cheat

In the cool, cool mountain level. The 6th star "wall kicks will work", can be a difficult star to get. I found a way to obtain the star without any effort. All you have to do is jump on the first Spindrift in the level (the one near the snowmans body) and you should be able to easily spin all the way around and down to the bottom, landing just underneath the star. (Spin towards the camera).


The best glitches

I found this out from a friend, and it really works!

First get 15 stars. Then, go to the castle's basement. There will be a bunny rabbit at the end. Grab it until you reach the door. Drop the rabbit near the door; you will be stuck in between the door. Grab the rabbit, then exit. If you want to fight Bowser (1 or 2?), take the rabbit to the door, and do the same, and voila! You are near the painting of Bowser. Jump and fight.

Yipee.

Next there will be another glitch that will make you go backwards. Go full speed to a locked door, then you will go fast backwards. This helps for Bowser's Infinite Stairs. Then, you will fight Bowser 3 and win the game in a tenth of my other friend's times of beating it.

Woo hoo.


HAHAHA I DID THIS ON ACCIDENT

In the tiny-huge world wen you're small smash the brown monsters with A then Z and instead of a yellow coin it's a blue coin

Heheheh extra mula!!!! ^o^

TWO Teleport Zones in Bob-omb Battlefield

I've seen a few hints for one of the teleport hints I'm going to post here, but so far I haven't read any for the other. So I thought I might post it here..

From the beginning of the level, run up the little sloping bridge. If you stand in the centre of the flower patch to the right of the path, you should teleport to another flower patch in the battlefield part.

The second teleport it the one on the mountain. It's found in the hole where the black ball things roll out of. Just jump in there and walk as far in as possible without pressing yourself up against the wall. You should teleport to the other hole at the top of the Mountain.

I've found that when in the "Footrace With Koopa the Quick" mission, if you teleport and beat him to the top of the mounta..


Some cheats

Shortcut up the mountain:on Bomb-omb battlefield when climbing up the mountain jump into the first gap in the rock that the black boulders come out of and you should be warped to the second boulder hole which is near the top of the mountain.

Beat Koopa the Quick easily:use the warp I described above.

Beat all of Bowsers forms easier:when you are fighting him try to grab his tail on the edge of the 'battle area'. That way you can see the bombs you need to throw him into easier, which gives you a good aim.


The Red, Wing - Blue, Vanish & Green, Metal Caps

To get the Red, Wing Cap - first you need to get 10 Stars, then a ray of light will appear at the entrance inside the Castle. Walk under the light and then look up at it to be transported to the Bonus Stage. Collect the 8 Red Coins for a Secret Star and then Ground Pound (A+Z) the Red ! To unlock the Wing Cap in every Level.

To get the Blue, Vanish Cap - once you've beaten Bowser the first time, head to the basement, unlock the door, follow the dark corridor to the right and enter the door. Go right, continue down the corridor and make the first right to a door without a Star - enter it, get in the water and swim under the wall to another room. Here, you'll find 2 pedestals to Ground Pound (A+Z) and drain the water - next, head through the door to be outside the Castle in the ..


Extra coins

Hey everybody I'm back with this awesome cheat for Super Mario 64. Okay so you know when your low on health and need to stay alive? Well all you need to do is this. 1)find a post. 2)run around it a few times and some coins should spill out! This will surely keep you alive a little longer. Hope this helps.


Funny but scary green guy

if you have wondered what the star in the boo area is there for it is there for a funny cheat go in the boo area & stand in front of the star go out of the door into the main area get on the right big hump there is a door up there in plain sight but barely anyone sees it then you'll be in the hallway where the big boo is go back in the boo area go to the brick wall behind the star and kick it and see what happens


Hidden Courses

PRINCESS SECRET SLIDE: In the 2-star room, jump in the right picture of Princess Toadstool.

WING MARIO OVER THE RAINBOW: Soumerault/triple jump near the clock. You'll find a hole - go in it.

SECRET AQUARIUM: Jump in the black hole above the toad in the Jolly Roger Bay room.

CAVERN OF METAL CAP: Go on Dorrie in Hazy Maze Cave until you see a door. Take it. You'll find a pool of slime. Walk into it.

TOWER OF WING CAP: After you get 10 Power Stars, light will appear. Press C-up and you'll enter it.

VANISH CAP UNDER THE MOAT: Stomp two certain pillars in the basement. All water will drain. In the moat, there's a hole. Go in it.

Every other secret is really easy to find. Bye!


Freeze Time

You know that course Tick Tock Clock? Well you can make everything still! All you have to do is make sure the minute hand's closest to 12! Warning: 'Get a Hand' and 'Stomp on the Thwomp' can't be done without movement.


Other way to enter light

This is a glitch I found. Go just behind the carpet and look at light. You won't enter the level because you're too far away. Next go just on the carpet. Zoom in and you'll enter the level before you even look up.


Free lifes!

If you want to get lifes you can go to the waterfall-aroun the waterfall there is a hole*if you made it already*. Jump into that hole and after you get the lifes you can exit course-repeat this and get the lifes in this game as many times as you want...there are many lifes around.


Clock World FREE STAR

If you want to get a free star then go to the never ending stairs room (clock room) and go to the toad on the rignt hand side and talk to him.

He will give you a free star!

EASY!


Slide shortcut

On slip slidin away when your going down the slide you will see a line of coins going into the wall follow them into the wall and it will bring you to a tunnel with 3-4 extra lives


Variation to

In wet dry world, instead of launching yourself at the sun, fire at the top-left corner. Go as far as the cannon will allow. You will hit the wall, fall back in the cannon, and WOW! No health lost.

Warning: do not ride if pregnant or suffering back/neck injuries.


Peach slide

Go on the red slide on the first floor...keep on sliding down until you reach a small falt area....press 'b' very quickly to do a flip that helps you get up on your feet....when on your feet jump backwards when you reach the slope you will slide a little everytime you jump backwards...but don't worry keep on jumping until you reach the beginning again..and the funny thing is..thew time keeps on going...now, I don't know how high the time can go....so thats up to you to find out. Smile


Swimming in the air

O.k. So to do this you have to have the moat around the castle all dried up and you have to have the "Walk up hills" gameshark code activated then go to the place where you found the invisible cap and jump into the abyss. Then it will put you into where the waterfall goes to and you can swim up to the ground. But you will notice something, you will still be swimming in the air as if the moat was never drained! You will still only be able to swim where the moat once was, so you won't be swimming everywhere. This works I've tried it!

P.s. My favorite way to go down the giant hill in the invisa-cap place is to switch the camera to mario-view and run down the hill with the "Walk up hills" code. It's fun XD


Yoshi and the 100 life trick

First you have to collect all 120 stars and then a cannon will open Peach's Front Yard (Where you begin when you start the game) That closed gate thing is now open. Fall into the hole. It will be a Cannon! Go on the roof and where those little Mushies are Yoshi is wandering around talk to him and he will give you a letter from the Super Mario64 Team. Then Yoshi will give you an awesome prize. I won't spoil the 100 life surprise! Oops! I just did!!! Oh, well... Now you can look forward to getting 100 lives!

Beware!: You will lose lives like normal but you will count down down 100. You know, 100, 99, 98 and so on and so forth... Have fun on Mario 64!


Unlimited 1-up's (Japanesse Only)

Go to fight bowser in the dark world when batteling him collect 1000 coins when he breaths fire coins will be released collect 1000 and every time you die the 1-up meter will increase by one instead of decrease. DO NOT DO THIS ON AMERICAN CARTRIDGES you will only waste your time because the american games coin count stops at 999 coins therefore it will not work. - just trust me if you own the jaoanesse game do this.


Holding your breath under water

what you have to do is go to the hole just off the bridge jump a backflip into the hole and from there you slide down the slope, you jump of the cliff, and then you end up in the water drowned yourself and repeat this 3 times till you get 0 lives stay under water till you have one red left it will keep beeping but dont worry you wont die ive done it several times before but don't forget the backflip or else it wont work if it doesnt work the first time try again with out the backflip i dont know everything is diffrent just try it at home nd you will like the results!!!!Smile


Scuttlebug jackpot

Hit a scuttlebug, and a jackpot of coins pop out.


Through basement door

Do this if you're really bad at the game or are doing a speedrun. Throw the rabbit near a locked basement door. Pick him up from behind and you should pass through the door! Hope that helpedSmile


Shortcut to the lonely mushroom

I know three shortcuts to "Blast to the Lonely Mushroom":

1) Use the bouncing block near the start of the level. It's hard to do without TAS.

2) Use the Shy Guy near the log to spin to the mushroom. This is totally off-subject, but you can also use the Shy Guy to spin pats the log.

3)Long jump off I-can't-remember-where. See a YouTube video to see where (ValvenAlvern [sorry if I spelled it wrong] uses that method).


Hiyes its Doomboy speaking.You want another star..

Hi


yes its Doomboy speaking.


You want another star well


1.Get 3 stars and go to the jolly roger bay room but dont go in the level.


2.You should see 2 holes in the wall if you take a look around.Back flip up to them.


3.One will give you a 1 up and the other will take you to an aquarium.


4.Collect all the red coins in the aquerium to get a secret star.Trust me it works.


Bye for now.

In Bomb-omb Battlefield, when you are racing Koo..

In Bomb-omb Battlefield, when you are racing Koopa the Quick, there is a secret to beating him without being disqualified!




You must go up the bridge, past Chain Chomp, through the grassy area, and up through the gates.




Then, either go up the hill or go between the bowling balls at your right.




After you get half-way up the mountain, there will be a little cubby-hole type thing where the bowling balls come out of.




Well, if you stand in it, in about 2 seconds you will be warped to the little cubby - hole thing at the very top of the mountain!




Go up there and claim your prize!

After you have all 120 stars, go outside of Peac..

After you have all 120 stars, go outside of Peaches castle where the canon with the cover over it is. The bars will be off.




Jump in and shoot to the top right of the castle. Yoshi will be there. He will give you 100 lives and teach you a new jump.




Then he will jump towards the waterfall after you talk to him. GOOD Luck!!





Hey this is so weird! If you want to get your Po..

Hey this is so weird! If you want to get your Power/Health/Life back,all you have to is jump,dive into the water then return to the surface and you will regain your Power/Health/Life(it's because when you enter water your health turns into your oxygen supply and when you return to the surface you regain oxygen which meens you also regain health).Cool right?Right? Well see ya later~.



Mario

You don't need a certain amount of stars, levels, etc. Go to the 2nd Snow level and go up to the snowman's head and get blown off. Your hat will fall off. Instead of getting your hat, go over to the tree closest to the water. Touch the tree (don't jump on it) and stand. You should be warped to another tree.
If you don't warp, touch a different part of the tree. When you do get warped, go get your hat. Mario will say, "Here we go!" twice and grab his hat off his head. He'll keep it in his hand until you either leave the level or warp from one of those tree to another.

Have no hat on your head but in your hand

Go to the sand level then go to the bird let him take your hat then when he flies over you jump and kick him but don't get your hat just run under the palm tree then you will teleport somewere else.Then go back to the area you teleported then go back were your hat was then you will pick up your hat then pick up another but the one on your head will disappear and you will have one in your hand! Happy cheating!!

Bonuses

Once you get all 120 Stars...
- You'll be able to jump in that Cannon outside the Castle by the Pond; shoot yourself to the Roof to meet an old friend.
- Also, when you race the Penguin in Cool, Cool, Mountain from now on, he'll be fatter and harder to beat.

let mario be invisible from a canon

Go to a canon and do a moon jump then fire the canon he and mario will be invisible except when you enter a door

Jumping through objects

You know about the spiral staircase that leads up from the first floor? Instead of walking (you probably run don't you?) up the stairs, jump to the left side of the stairs base and Mario might be able to pull himself up through the ceiling. Thanks to my friend Eric for telling me that one.
If you can find a way to get to the top of the castle, then you should try this:
Use the wing cap and the cannon to fly to the second top-most platform and wait there. By running on the left side from the front of the castle you should be able to run up the wall and reach the flag at the top. Luigi will meet you up there and tell you some secrets. (the thing about Luigi was a joke). Take some time to enjoy the spectacular view
On some sides of the second top-most platforms of the c..

Fight bowser 3 without 70 stars

Right make sure you have 50 stars go to the endless stairs go up and run down not all the do a long jump and move the stik towards thestairs kepp pressing A until you see a big piture of bowser to kill bowser 3 trow him into the bombs 3 times when you do it twice get away from the edges because it cloassples into a shape of a star be careful of his white lines and fire rain try not to trowh bowser out of the ring because sometimes it breaks don't worry some of it not all [ but the game froze when I did it so try it once if it frzze you have to get 70 stars to beat bowser 3] well good luck really this does work

Boo's Balcony

Go to the mansion in big boo's haunt go upstairs and go to the door at the very right. There is a ledge jump on it and double jump from wall to wall until you see a platform go in the room walk out another door and there you go wasn't that easy!

Sprint

To Sprint, do a long jump onto an agled surface (like the ramp leading down to the moat) and keep holding the Control Stick forward. If done corectly, you will run really fast until you reach the top of the ramp.
This is my first hint! Yay!

Jump really high

Go outside the castle and go to the bottom,jump right under the bridge (The one that leads you to the door)and jump three times.Mario should start jumping really high.

Death Corner

So when you get 120 stars and have access to the cannon outside the castle, you get in the cannon and shoot yourself up on top of the castle. To your right there some parts of the roof with flag poles, you go to the furthest back one and to the corner where it is partially near the sky and partially near the hill. You walk slowly into the corner and if you do it just right your camera will move a little when you fall but grab onto the corner, you pull yourself up and that Bowser laugh and pic every time you die will appear and you will die and basically restart in front of the building with one less life. Congrats you have died from the evil corner. XD

okay now go to shifting sand land and make sure ..

Ever Wondered How To Get To Get To That Big Towe..

Ever Wondered How To Get To Get To That Big Tower In The Middle Of The Sea In Big-Small Island,The One With The Log And The Sign At The Top?




This Is How, First Go To Where Koopa Troopa Is Standing But Dont Talk To Him. Then, Go To The Edge. Line Up A Jump To It And Hope Like Heck You Land On It.




Its Not Useful But At Least You Got There.

You know the kid who told you how to beat the 3r..

You know the kid who told you how to beat the 3rd Bowser? I'm that kid.




One-up racing




If your really bord in the game go outside the castle. Go to the left (near the waterfall) and handstand on everyone of the trees.




If you handstand on the right one a one-up mushroom will appear. Jump off quickly and start running! Pretty soon you will see a mad one-up mushroom chasing you!




To get some distance from it use long jumps. Have fun!!!!!!!!!

In the course Cool Cool Mountain, there's a slid..

In the course Cool Cool Mountain, there's a slide go in it. There's a short cut.




There's a row of coins that are slanted. Follow the coins. You will end up in a tunnel. There is two 1ups in the tunnel.

The Secret Castle Stars

Here are all of the secret castle stars in and around the castle.
First of all, in each level there are only six stars to find right? WRONG!!!
When you get 100 coins in each level, a star will instantly appear above...! Mario's head.
Also, on each of the levels where you unlock the caps,and on all of the bowser levels, there is 8 red coins. collecting all of them will make a star appear near the switch.
aside from these stars, there are also some specific places to find stars:
1. In the main room that you first enter when you start the game, up the stairs and to the right there is a door. If you go through the door, you will be in a room with 3 identical stain glass windows, like in churches. You can jump through the window on the right. Inside ther..

Have no hat on your head but in your hand

Go to the sand level then go to the bird let him take your hat then when he flies over you jump and kick him but don't get your hat just run under the palm tree then you will teleport somewere else.Then go back to the area you teleported then go back were your hat was then you will pick up your hat then pick up another but the one on your head will disappear and you will have one in your hand! Happy cheating!!

Easy Health

If Mario is low on health just jump in a body of water and his health will go back to full.
Later.

Another rabbit

If you get the other rabbit you can get another star.

Clock

You can go into the clock level by jumping in the clock.

Level after draining

Go outside and jump off the bridge and you should find a little hole you can go in.

Glitchy GS

Ok this might not werk fer you but you need a: GS, cheat for 99 coins and the game would probably help too. Go to a level any one and use the cheat but push it 2 times and collect as many coins as you can. You should only git 133 coins and a message will say that you still have 100 then collect the stars and get out

Bowser's Lost His Sub

You know the first stage in Dire, Dire Docks, which is practically finding Bowser's sub? Well, he's a cool glitch. If you select that star again from the menu and go to where the sub is, it won't be there for some random reason. So practically, you can never do that star again. Pretty cool, huh?

Jump to the same tree you are at

swimming in the air PART 2!!!!

O.k. So this was weird because I was playing in the Tiny huge island (with the walk up hills code on as usual) and I accidentally fell off the edge but right before I hit the point where it says that you went too far down and die, I landed in invisible water! I'd imagine that this was either 1)a one-time glitch that won't work again 2)it only works for tiny-huge island or 3)this is a new discovery that will work on every course! The thing is, you usually can't get back up to land so to get dead and exit the course, just swim down and you will die.
Hope this works again!

You know the 1-up mushroom outside the castle, aren't you?
If not do this :climb up the third tree from the waterfall then jump off from it(someone said you have to handstand on it but you haven't)and as quickly as you can crouch. If done fast enough the mushroom can't get you 'til you crouch or crawl it will go above and around Mario's head.

Dead Man FLYING

Get Mario's energy down to the last one to two units on his meter. Find a ledge to jump off, making sure that it is low enough to get the correct timing. Collect a wing cap, then fly back to the ledge. Initiate a triple jump, jumping off the ledge on the second jump, and hit the jump button for the third time the instant Mario lands. If timed correctly, the fall will take off the rest of Mario's energy. However, Mario will do a somersault and start flying. He will not be very high off the ground, but he still will be flying. You can safely enter a cannon, but the instant you touch the ground Mario will "die." Collecting coins will not restore Mario's health; neither will the spinning heart. Mario will not be able to grab any stars. This can be done in the Bob-Omb Battlefield, off the led..

Moon Jump in the Breeze

Use an emulator and put the 'Moon Jump' cheat on(listed ont his site). Now put on the 'Have all 120 stars' cheat(listed on this site). Go to Tiny Huge Island and do the Moon Jump. Hold down the button for the Moon Jump as long as you can. Soon Mario will say: "WAAAAH!" Then the breeze will kick in, Mario will fly then he will hit the invisible barrier on the level and start to fall. He will he hit the ground (ouch!). Repeat as many times as desired.
