Tips
  • To farm infinite lives, stand far from a wall, toss a Koopa shell, and jump on it repeatedly. This will cause it to bounce off the wall, allowing your character to bounce off the shell, earning 1-Ups. The maximum is Triple Crowns, totaling 1,110 lives.
  • Use Ground Pound to uncover the locations of invisible blocks.
