Secret Rainbow Levels

In order to gain access to the secret rainbow levels, you have to jump on the flagpole when the timer shows the correct time. If done correctly, you'll hear the original NES world-cleared-jingle followed by a firework and a rainbow. When you return to the world map, the entrance to the secret rainbow level will appear at the entry point of each world on the far left. Secret rainbow levels contain no enemies but hundreds of coins and eventually golden flower power-ups.

Play as Luigi

Unlimited Use of Mushroom Houses

Unlimited Mushroom Houses - Clear the Star World

Secrets

Unlimited 1ups

Go to Mushroom World course 1, the place where the first star coin is. Stand on top of the stairs and wait for the noko noko. Go down to the second or third step and wait for the noko noko to reach you. Jump on it lightly (not hitting jump when you hit it) and then it should bounce off the wall and Mario will keep jumping on it, allowing you to get 3 crowns in a few minutes. Note - If you try this as Golden Mario, the Noko Noko will disappear after 25 hits.

Easter Egg

Mario loses his hat

When you reach Triple Crown lives, (1110 lives), Mario will no longer wear his hat during gameplay.
