On the first video game I ever played, Super Mario Brothers. I really don't have much more to say...uh...yeh...this game was fun, and it was kinda fun writing this FAQ, although it took me a while. I am using the great Marshmallow as my role model although I don't believe I will ever write as many FAQs as him. If you don't know who marshmallow is, you don't read the greatest FAQs for most N64 games. Using this FAQ, you will find all the stuff you heard about but could never find in SMB. There are many secrets hidden in this game, and they’ve been exposed I this walkthrough. There is also a section about different codes, cheats, and glitches in the game, including the infamous minus world. That's pretty much all I have to say. So, uh...happy gaming!!! *********************************************************************** Chapter 2 HISTORY *********************************************************************** What's gone on with this FAQ... 03-10-01 Updated some stuff for version 2.5 and. This is now featured on another site, RoyalRanger's NES site. Wow! 02-06-01 Finished version 2.0 of this FAQ and sent it out to all the sites hosting it.

Hmmm, let's see...the evil king has kidnapped the princess, and her boyfriend goes to save her along with his brother. Yes, the same old thing, however.... This evil lizard-dragon thing, Bowser Koopa, that has a castle in Mushroom Land, where all the mushroom people live, kidnaps the Mushroom King's daughter, princess Peach Toadstool. Some squire type guy sent by the king, Toad, sets out to save her. However, Toad is a short little guy with a giant mushroom on his head, so he's got no chance. Enter Mario, an Italian plumber from Brooklyn, NY (according to the later movie). He is in love with the fungi princess, and his brother and he set out on a valiant quest to save her from the Evil lord Bowser Koopa and his Koopa Troopa and Goomba minions. Ok, enough of that... Not that anyone read it... Here's a story I read at http://nesoracle.retrogaming.net : ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The True Story Behind Super Mario Brothers. By: Ryan (Gamme) McCulloch Introduction: Many people do not know the true story behind the game Super Mario Brothers. Like with Roswell, NM, the building of the pyramids, and the JFK Conspiracy; there are many "stories" attributed to it - none of which can ever be PROVEN true (as well as never be proven false). But here now, you can finally die in peace. For, hold on to your seats folks, here comes: "Secrets Revealed: Super Mario Brothers" As many people erroneously think, The Kingdom of the Mushroom People was never actually peaceful. In fact, it wasn't even called "The Kingdom of the Mushroom People". It was known as "The Republic of the Gibrion Alliance" (The RGA), a struggling Middle Eastern Nation in the midst of a Civil War. Mario was not a happy-go-lucky plumber; he was a notorious protester, who had been jailed thrice for speaking out against the Gibrion Socialist Republic Government. At this time, King Koopa was not a king - he was a small-time politician, known by the name of Charles Kooper. The Gibs had been using the Shrooms (Mushroom People) for hundreds of years now as slaves. The Shrooms were just beginning to become smarter - and with wisdom comes defiance. You see, for 2 months now the Shrooms had been planning to overthrow the Gibs, and start a new nation of their own. All they needed now was a leader. Charles Kooper stepped in to take the job. He was a great leader and a wonderful orator. He would get the Shrooms all riled up with his powerful speaches. It was June 6, 1983. The Shrooms had binded together and started war with the Gibs. In this army was protestor Mario. He had no fear of dying for his Mushroom People. The terrible war lasted 1 year, 3 months, and 16 days. The Shrooms had lost more men then they even knew they had. But they had did it - they defeated the oppressive Gibrion Government. They had killed the evil Gibrion leader Snort (his son Wart comes to play in the next story). The Shrooms had crowned Charles Kooper as their new king. But soon Charles Kooper (King Koopa, now) became power and money hungry. He reverted back to the Gibrion ways of slavery. Mario was the first to speak out against this. However instead of jailing him, King Koopa kidnapped his fiancée Patricia Seavings (Princess as she was called). Mario called a meeting with the Shrooms and decided it was time for a second Civil War. But this time he had to do it alone. With only the help of Patricia's brother, Luigi. And this is where our story begins. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- yup, that's it...quite interesting, eh? *********************************************************************** Chapter 4 INSTRUCTION MANUAL *********************************************************************** The following is exactly what is printed in the instruction booklet that came with the game Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt/World Class Track Meet (may not be exactly the same as other SMB manuals) for the Super Mario Bros. section (the other two sections were excluded), starting with page 2.

[4] SUPER MARIO BROS.® OBJECT OF THE GAME/GAME DESCRIPTION One day the kingdom of the peaceful mushroom people was invaded by the Koopa, a tribe of turtles famous for their black magic. The quiet, peace-loving Mushroom People were turned into mere stones, brick and even field horse-hair plantsm and the Mushroom Kingdom fell into ruin. The only one who can undo the magic spell on the Mushroom People and return them to their normal selves is the Princess Toadstool, the daughter of the Mushroom King. Unfortunately, she is presently in the hands of the great Koopa turtle king. Mario, the hero of the story (maybe) hears about the Mushroom People’s plight and sets out on a quest to free the Mushroom Princess from the evil Koopa and restore the fallen kingdom of the Mushroom People. You are Mario! It’s up to you to save the Mushroom People from the black magic of the Koopa! 1. NAMES OF CONTROLLER PARTS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.

HOW TO PLAY As this game proceeds the screen gradually advances to the right. The Mushroom Kingdom is made of a number of worlds, and each world is divided into 4 areas. The fourth area of each world ends in a big castle. The Princess, as well as her mushroom retainers, are being held in one of the castles by the turtle tribe. In order to rescue the Princess, Mario has to make it to the castle at the end of each world within the given time. Along the way are mountains, pits, sea, turtle soldiers, and a host of traps and riddles. Whether or not you can make it to the last castle and free the Princess depends on you. You’re going to need sharp wits and lightning reflexes to complete this quest! [7] Starting position and time progress * At the beginning of the round, play starts from the beginning of the area; however, once Mario gets about halfway through an area, he doesn’t have to go all the way back to the beginning after getting done in by one of the bad guys. * When you get to the last castle, you start the game over from the castle entrance. * When play starts, the clock in the upper right of the screen starts ticking away. Any time left on the clock when you get to the end of each area is added to your score as bonus points. * There is no remaining-time bonus when you get to the very last castle. * At the end of each area is a small castle, but before you get to the castle you have to go up a big staircase and jump onto a flagpole. The higher you jump onto the flagpole, the higher the bonus you receive. [8] Pointers Jumping Mario and Super Mario both jump the same height. * The height Mario jumps depends on how long you hold the A button down. * You can use the •+• control pad to make Mario hook to the left or right even in mid-air! * Pushing the B button makes Mario speed up, and when Mario is speeded up he can jump higher. Bonus Prizes * If Mario picks up 1 up mushroom, he gets and extra life. * If Mario picks up 100 coins, he gets an extra life. * In addition, there are other ways to get an extra Mario. [9] Mario, Super Mario, Invincible Mario, etc. Mario’s Friends If you come across mushrooms who have been turned into bricks or made invisible, they will reward you by giving you a power boost. With each boost Mario changes into a different, more powerful Marion, as shown below. [=Mario=]----à[Magic Mushroom]----à[=Super Mario=]----à[Fire Flower]> | | >----à[Fire Flower]----à----à[=Fiery Mario=]ß----ß----ß----ß---< (return to regular Mario when bumped by a bad guy) [=Mario=]----à[Starman]----à[=Invincible Mario=] [10] * When Super Mario or Fiery Mario are bumped into by a bad guy, they don’t die but simply return to their old regular-Mario selves. * For a short while after turning back into his regular-Mario self, Mario flickers. During this time, he can not be killed by bad guys (he’s invincible). How to topple the Turtle Tribe * Bad guys on top of the bricks can be taken care of by punching them from below. Bad guys on the ground can be done in by jumping on top of them. If you bump into an enemy from the side or from below, you die. *when in the water, no matter what the direction you hit the bad guys from, you die. * If you stomp on a Koopa Troop, he becomes a (shell) and stays motionless for a while. During that ttime, you can kick him and send him flying to knock down other enemies. * When Mario has fireballs, use the B button to throw them and fry the enemy. * Some bad guys can't be killed, watch out for these immortal creeps! * The points you get depends on how you kill the enemy. Try a few different methods to see which gives you the most points. [11] Beware! The following are deadly: * Bumping into members of the Turtle Tribe and other baddies. Walking into flames. * When you bump into a (shell) you had once kicked. *however, Super Mario turns into regular Mario and the game continues at that spot. * When you fall into a pit or get sucked down a drain. * Time runs out.

Most of these levels you will need no help with. Certainly you will need no help with the first level, but it demonstrates some basics of the game. *World 1: Level 1 = Wow, what a difficult level. Well, if you haven't played before at all, it might be a bit difficult. Ok, in the first ? block there is a coin, but in the second is a mushroom. Bounce on the goomba to kill him. Ok, Jump over the first three pipes, wither avoiding or stomping on the goombas. The fourth pipe is a warp to the near end of the level. If you take it right away, scroll down to the *. However, you can get an extra life and still take it or you can continue playing normally. Right after the pipe is a hidden block above the left-most side of a small hill in the bg graphics. Jump and out comes the 1-up. If you do it without moving too much to the right, you can still take the pipe. Otherwise, continue. All right, under the second block coming up next is a Flower if you are super Mario, and a mushroom if not. Get it, without getting hit by goombas. Under the next ? is 11 coins. Then is a group of 2 boxes, the second one contains a star. After the star is a pyramid of ? boxes. The top one contains a flower, the three bottom contain coins. Next is just a series of stars and holes. Jump over the holes to get across. * Here is just a row of boxes, the ? one contains a coin. To get 5000 on the flag step all the way to the right of the top part of the stairs as far as you can without falling off. Now, hold down B and press right until you get to the very end of the platform and push and hold Jump. Level 2 = This is the first underground level you go to. The first ? block is a Power Up. The first regular box you see contains 9 coins. Now comes a thing that looks like a badly written W. at the very end of the W the top box contains a star. After the row of coins on some boxes, there is a thing hanging down that looks like a backwards J. The top block on the right part of the backwards J is a Power Up. Coming up is a rectangle with some coins on top. Get on the platform before it and run and jump to get on it. Directly above the last coin is a 1-up. Break the box in front of it to make it drop down so you can get to it. The first pipe is a warp that leads to the third pipe. The last in the row of blocks under the red turtle contains a Power Up. ride the elevator to the top and run to the right to access the level jump. One pipe goes to level 2, one to 3, and one to level 4. Level 3 = Tree type place. You come to an elevator and a ? block very early that contains a Power Up. The last elevator above a red turtle leads to the stairs going up to the flag. Level 4 = Your first castle. Make sure if you try to get the ? block that you avoid the fire thing. It contains either a mushroom or a fire flower. The first ditch you come to has a hidden coin block 4 block spaces from the end. Just jump to get it. When you get to King Koopa, either jump on the little ride thingy at the top or run under him when he jumps. Don't let him touch you. If you have fire Mario you can shoot him about 5 times and he'll die. Otherwise, get the axe hammer thing at the end of the bridge and kill him. Now Toad will tell you that the princess is in another castle, what a waist of your time. Oh Well, keep going. *World 2: Level 1 = In the middle of the first three boxes you come to is a Power Up. Some ways ahead is two rows of ? boxes. The first ? box on the bottom row is a Power Up. There are two more rows of ? blocks, only horizontal instead of on top of each other. Above the two rows is 5 normal blocks. The middle one contains a vine that leads to a cloud secret. If you don't take the cloud warp, there is a pipe warp right after where the vine is. The first box after the pipe warp is a Power Up. After the following pipe and the ditch, you have to jump on a springboard to get to the platform before the flag. Level 2 = The first underwater level. Avoid the fish (easy) and avoid the squid that can control their own movement. When the ground disappears, be careful because you can get sucked down. Level 3 = Keep running as much as you can (after a while you can tell if a fish is gonna hit you.) There is a ? box with a Power Up in it. Level 4 = The ? box has a Power Up of course. When you have a chance to either take the top route or the bottom route, take the bottom. There are less flame thingies. When you get to the Koopa, break the boxes with super Mario to take the elevator platform over his head. *World 3: Level 1 = Dark World!!!! The third ? block contains a power up. The second pipe is a warp. After the warp is a star. You should be able to use the star power to kill the hammer bros. and then get the Power Up in the second box above them. The first box in the second row of boxes after the springboard has a vine that leads to a cloud warp. If you don't take the vine, a box after the vine contains a power up. Before the end is a last row of boxes. the second box contains coins. Level 2 = The first ? box contains a Power Up. Above one turtle that is trapped between some bricks is two boxes. The bottom box contains some coins, the top contains a star. Level 3 = There are two elevators right at the start of the level. The first ? is a Power Up. Watch out for dropping elevators and the pairs of elevators that make each other rise and fall. NOTE: In this level, you can use the 'Jump Over the Flag Pole' cheat in the ceats and codes section. Level 4 = Watch out for the flames that jump up from the pits at the beginning. The second ? contains a Power Up. *World 4: Level 1 = Arghhh...a Lakitu level. It is very useful to have Fire Mario in this level. The first ? has a Power Up. If you warped in level 1-2, there is a hidden 1-up block on top of the row of four ? boxes. It won't be there if you didn't level jump. The third pipe coming up is a warp. There is a coin box right next to the flag. Level 2 = This is an underground level. The first box under the little part with the coins has a Power Up in it. There is some hidden coins near the end of the hallway with three goombas 2 blocks up from where the last goomba is when you first see him (5 boxes from the end). Now there are two groups of two ? boxes and one group of three. The middle one in the group of three is a power up. Across the ditch there are three boxes just sitting there. Jump directly under the second to the right and last to the right. Jump onto the new block stairs so that you can hit the first normal block from the right. This leads to a group of sick mushrooms with a warp to either 6, 7, or 8. If you don't go, there is a warp pipe right after the high pipe. The first box before the strip of boxes with coins on top of them is a power up. Level 3 = The sick mushrooms level (notice that all the giant mushrooms have chicken pox?). Anyway.... The ? box has a power up. Watch out for those pulling elevators. The last elevator leads to the flag instead of stairs. THERE ARE NO STAIRS!!! You gotta jump from the elevator. Level 4 = This is the first castle that has somewhat of a maze. You have to take this route: The first time you can choose between a high route and a low route, take the top. Run until you reach another place where you can choose. Jump down to the bottom and it will lead you to Koopa. *World 5: Level 1 = At one point, after the second paratroopa, there are three blocks. The middle one contains a starman. This level has the first bullet bills in it. Try to either jump on them or crouch under them if you can. There is a pipe in the air that warps near the end of the level. Level 2 = At the beginning, the last of the top row of blocks has a power up. The first pipe goes to a swimming warp. Watch out for the lowering elevators while swimming, they push you into sink holes. The last block on top of the two rows after the warp has a starman. Then there are two blocks that only regular small Mario can reach. The first contains coins, the second a Power Up (mushroom for small Mario). Level 3 = Just exactly like World 1 - Level 3, the tree level. There are more enemies and smaller elevators, and bullet bills are being launched at you the whole level. Level 4 = At the beginning, there is an extra long fire thing near the ? block with the Power Up in it. Take the bottom route to reach Roy Koopa, the fifth Koopa. *World 6: Level 1 = Lukitu level! This is another dark level. The first normal block contains a power up. the third ? block also contains a power up. Level 2 = Another dark level. The first pipe is a warp. the second pipe after the warp is a water warp. If you don't take the water warp, there are two rows of blocks overhead. The last block of the second row is a warp vine that leads to a cloud ride. Level 3 = This level is all gray for some strange reason. the first ? box is a power up. About half way through this level, Bullet Bills start launching at you. Level 4 = Same exact as the first castle, except for the Koopa at the end is using hammers. It is really good to have Fiery Mario at this Koopa. *World 7: Level 1 = First normal block holds a Power Up. There are a lot of Bullet Bills in this level. There is a block with a power up at the very top of the springboard. It is kinda hard to reach if you get a flower, and if you get a mushroom, chances are you will miss it. Level 2 = A water level. A LOT OF SQUIDS!!!!! Level 3 = Another flying fish level, exact same lay out as level 2 -3. However, there are more fish, and Koopa Troopas and Koopa Paratroopas are in your way. There is still a power up in the middle that you want for the following castle. Level 4 = Hmmm...the last castle before the big Bowser Koopa castle. This is the maze palace of Ludwig Van Koopa. For the first three parts, go Bottom, Middle, Top. Then you will come to two big ditches of lava on the bottom, and a fire thing at the top. This one changes I think, but what I did was went on top, avoiding the fire thing, and then stayed on top, jumping the ditches. This led me to Ludwig Van Koopa. *World 8: Level 1 = If you used a Level Warp to get here from level 4, there's a hidden 1-up above a Buzzy Beetle that's trapped between two pipes. There is a pipe warp in a pipe before three Goombas. There is also a trapped Koopa Paratroopa with a row of blocks above it. In the middle of where it is trapped is a hidden box. If you jump on the box, you can hit the regular box above it that contains some coins. After the next series of short ditches is a row of blocks, the third is a starman. Level 2 = There is a 1-up in the box above the springboard. Between the first set of bullet bills, there is two blocks. The second one is a Power Up. The first pipe after the difficult jump (where you're on a pipe and you have to run just right to not fall down a pit) is a warp. Level 3 = The first set of hammer bros. are on two rows of blocks. The second to last block on the top row is a power up. Then the next set of hammer bros. is also on two rows of blocks. For that set, the second to first block on top is a power up. Level 4 = Well, here it is...the giant maze castle...the home of Bowser Koopa. Actually, I figured this level out quicker than the World 7 castle (Ludwig Van Koopa's castle). Ok, there’s a ditch with a little elevator that moves across some ways into the level, right after it, enter the first pipe. Then, there’s a pipe in the air by some Koopa Paratroopas. There’s a hidden block near the left of it that will help you get into it. After that pipe, you will have to jump over a pit with lava in it. Right after it, jump into the pipe. This takes you to a swimming level with spinning fire rods and 3 squidies. If you have fiery Mario, you can kill the coming up Hammer Brother, otherwise try to run under it. Now, avoid the Podobo to get to Bowser Koopa. It is very easy to kill Bowser with fireballs. It is hard to get on top of him, and he has hammers, so it’s hazardous to try to go under him. Do what you must. Well, I guess since you’ve reached the end, the only thing you can do is….do it again! The second quest has more baddies, a lot more bullet bills, and all the baddies other than Koopa Troopas turn into Buzzy Beetles. Have fun! *********************************************************************** Chapter 6 BAD GUYS LIST *********************************************************************** There is a list of some of the bad guys in the instruction book that comes with the game.

It might not be complete, so e-mail me if it isn't. ? Box - Can contain coins, 1-ups, or Power ups. 1-up mushroom - when you get one of these you get an extra life. Box - a box of bricks. These often contain coins. You get 50 PTS. for breaking them. They can also contain 1-ups. Coin - If you get 100 of these, you get an extra life and 100 PTS. Fire Flower - Turns Super Mario into Fiery Marion or Mario into Super Mario. Flag - The thingy at the end of each level that isn't a castle, you get anywhere from 5,000 to 800 PTS. for bringing it down. Flower Pot - the Pirana Plants live in these. When you kill the plant, the flower pot turns into a pipe. Magic Mushroom - Turns Mario into Super Mario. Pipe - Duh, a pipe...the little green thing that you can often go down or up to warp, level jump, and, uh, other stuff. Starman - A star that turns you into Invincible Mario, where you can kill anything. Wow! *********************************************************************** Chapter 8 THE MINUS WORLD *********************************************************************** Here is the most popular secret in the game, the Minus World. What it is, is a level where you are swimming, and the level counter at top says " - 1". There is no way to win, because if you go through the pipe at the end, you just start over at the beginning. This happens until you die or your time runs out. Now for how to do it. Ok, you access the Minus World from 1 - 2 (World 1 - Level 2), the first underground level. You will have to have Super Mario or Fire Mario. Go all the way to the end, where the pipe to go up to the flag is. Don't go up the pipe. Don't go to the secret level warp is, either. What you have to do is break about five blocks above the pipe. Don't break the one nearest the pipe wall. Break all the ones you can away from the wall. With only one block on the wall, get the farthest on the edge of the pipe bottom you can without falling off. You have to hit the last block with the back of Mario's head. The best way to do it, is after you get as far as you can left on the pipe, squat down and jump, then hold right. It's kind of complicated to write instructions, but when you do it it will become easy. Squat, then hold down while you jump, and after you've jumped, hold right also. Usually it takes a while to get it right. I got to the minus world the first time I tried, but it took me about 200 on the timer to get the jumping right. Ok, if you jump right, you will get sucked into the wall. Now you have to make Mario walk right until he drops into the Level Jump area. Go down the first pipe (the one that would go to level 4) you see. Now you are in the Minus World. Have fun! NOTE: If you use this FAQ for the Super Mario All-Stars version of this game for SNES, the Minus World has been removed. *********************************************************************** Chapter 9 CHEATS, GAME GENIE CODES *********************************************************************** Here are various cheats that I have found or have heard from other people. If something doesn't work for you, or you know something else, e-mail me at sensei_otaku@hotmail.com ... thanks. Most of the Game Genie codes were trained by EdTheMoogle (he made them). ***Continue: After you get a game over, you can continue at the first level of the world you were on last. When the Game Select screen appears (where you select 1 or 2 players), hold down A and press start. ***Fire Power when small: At the end of the fourth level of any world (except eight), you need to be either super or fiery Mario. Ok, when you get to the Koopa, you have to touch the axe and Koopa at the same time. If you do it right, you flash as if you were going to shrink, but you will stay super or fiery Mario. Get a mushroom in the next level and it will make you shrink. Now, when you get a power up block it will be a flower. When you get the flower you will stay small, so you can reach small spaces but have fire balls. Pretty kewl. ***Jump Over the Flag Pole: This one was sent to me by way of e-mail by Dag Cato. This is what his e-mail says: Hello Mr MOOrstar, My name is Dag Cato and I've just read your super mario-faq (version 1.0) on gamefaq (as well as some other's super mario-faqs). I would like to begin to thank you for your well written faq and the extensive content that helped me find the last items in the game. But one thing struck me in your (and the other's) faqs: there isn't a word about jumping over the flagpole-trick in world 3-3! If you don't know what I'm talking about I will explain. In 3-3 there isn't the normal pyramid structure to finish off the level from, but instead a sort of balance elevator. If your timing is perfect (jump from the lower elevator platform, with speed, to the higher and then jump as late as possible) you will end up by jumping over the flagpole! The result isn't that great though, either you just run to the right until time ends (sort of the infinite -1-world trick) or you can jump on the flagpole from behind (which only gives you the ordinary points). In my opinion, it's kind of cool anyway and, at least I thougt, a classic feature in this classic game. If this trick interests you, but you're unable pull it off (it will take some practice and I don't really know how to do it, but try and you'll eventually make it), mail me and I'll send you some screenshots/saved files from Nesticle (the NES-emulator). Sincerely, Dag Cato ***Infinite Lives: Not an embedded cheat, but a useful tid bit. On 3 - 3, near the flag, there are two turtles coming down the stairs. Jump on the second one and have it launch at the first one. It will keep hitting it. Eventually you will get extra men instead of points. Ok, now here are the Game Genie Codes. This list is rather long. It starts with actual game play codes and ends with . ***Actual Game play Codes*** YYTOZA Start with over 155 lives AATOZA 1&2 players have 1 life IATOZA 1&2 players have 6 lives AATOZE 1&2 players have 9 lives VATOLE 1 has 8 lives 2has 3 lives SXIOPO infinite lives for 1&2 ***Deleter Codes (parts of the game are missing)*** SEGAKE no scenery XZZOEK no enemies VULANE world is invisible (blue screen code) IKTPOK no outdoor enemies ZTSLEG no items except coins TIKULT fireballs disabled PIGNAX Mario is invisible, enemies are gone NAGNAX Mario is invisible, enemies are gone VENUSS no items in bricks USSUSS no mushrooms PZOPIG Some background is gone.
