Extra lives (1-Ups) are extremely rare but incredibly valuable. They are almost always found in very specific, hidden locations, often requiring a precise jump or whipping a particular block. These can save you from a Game Over screen and allow you to continue your progress from the last checkpoint. One notable 1-Up is found in Stage 3-2, near the top of the Bell Tower, often in a block that requires a jump to reach. Another can be found in Stage 5-1, in a specific block in the ceiling. Keep an eye out for any unusual block formations or areas that seem to invite exploration. While not essential for completion, collecting these 1-Ups significantly increases your chances of success, especially for less experienced players.
