Super Mario Bros. 3 - Infinite 1-up Techniques

  • Super Mario Bros. 3 is not known for its exceptional difficulty, but any player will recognize the value in acquiring as many extra lives as possible. Super Mario Bros. 3 provides the player with many opportunities to acquire "infinite" 1-ups. Typically, the player can acquire many 1-ups quickly with these techniques but either has to stop at some point to finish the level or keep collecting the 1-ups until time runs out.
    This video shows six different locations to perform an "infinite" 1-up trick. The locations and methods are as follows:
    1) 1-2: Stomping on endless Goombas as they come out of a pipe, using a Raccoon tail to stay in the air long enough for more to come out of the pipe.
    2) World 2 Fortress: A technique similar to #1, stomping on three Dry Bones (who come back to life after a few seconds) endlessly.
    3) 3-4: Luring Lakitu back to an earlier part of the level, fetching a turtle shell, and kicking it between two indestructible blocks. Lakitu will drop Spiny eggs that will miss the player (usually) and the turtle shell will defeat them endlessly.
    4) 3-9: Taking a turtle shell from the start of the level, kicking it between two Bullet Bill cannons, and getting to a safe place. The shell will defeat Bullet Bills endlessly.
    5) 4-1: Similar to #2, stomping giant red Koopas endlessly.
    6) World 7, first fortress: The famous P-Switch room allows the player to turn hundreds of blocks into coins, only to leave the room and come back, resetting all the blocks and allowing the player to do the whole thing over again.
    I let the video for each portion run a little longer than would be necessary to get the basic technique across, but I wanted to make it clear that these techniques can generate lots of 1-ups for the player in a short time.

    Well, I wasn't claiming that this was an exhaustive list of all of the places where you can accumulate 1-Ups, but you're right, it's possible to do it there. Of course, the Bullet Bills are rather unreliable since you can't really predict when they're going to fire, which means that it's nowhere near as easy to get 1-Ups there as it is in other places.

  • @Tickenest
    @Tickenest  Před 15 lety +2

    No, I read them all in one source or another. I think my biggest source was the Nintendo Power strategy guide for SMB 3. Actually, the last one (with the P-switch and all the coins) I did find myself, but since it's mandatory to find if you didn't enter the stage able to fly, I'm sure I wasn't the only person ever to stumble onto it. :)

  • @Tickenest
    @Tickenest  Před 13 lety +1

    @YoshiTechnoManMaster Well, the method in 1-2 is the earliest in the game. The turtle shell probably happens a little faster than the stomping method and the coin collection. It's also the most leisurely once you get it set up.

  • @Tickenest
    @Tickenest  Před 16 lety +1

    I just tried that one and I can see how you *would* do it, but I couldn't get all the turtles under control. I guess it just takes more practice. It's also more difficult since once you've got the turtles under control, you've got to keep them spaced out enough so that you don't kick a shell by mistake, since that'll ruin the whole setup. Still, nice tip.

    • @juliobrian4757
      @juliobrian4757 Před 7 lety +1

      I knew of the 1st one (World 1-2) and the Third one (World 3-4). I had suspected the 2nd one (World 2-Fort), but didn't think too much of it. Now I can go back and try it myself. The third one was a trial and error that my brother and I had done due to curiosity. I shall try out World 3-9.
      World 4-1 is a bit tricky, so it may take me a whole to figure out the best way to get it right.
      World 7-Fort-1 is called the "Castle/Fort of Greed". Usually because of the amount of Coins, people tend to simply collect coins until they die due to time ups. It is usually a wasteful practice, because you have to spend the time collecting coins to get 1ups, rather than getting the 1ups after some time like hits and they continue.

    • @katvtay

      +Tickenest Yeah, the second world's was new it me. Forgot about 4- 1 too because my patience sucks with it, lol. I had heard there were three, and I know the goombas in 1-2, but I never even considered the first castle in world 2 for the third one I never learned!

    • @katvtay
      @katvtay Před 7 lety

      +Julio Brian Good point about world 7s. Never heard it called "Castle of Greed" either, haha. It was the first infinite lives I figured out in... probably 1990 too. Fast forward years later, and the highlight of that castle is really the secret door left of the P button that takes you to a Tanooki suit. :)

      Chaotic ShadowShot The Game Genie was a device that acted as an intermediary between the cartridge and the NES. It could change the way in which the game played, mainly for the purpose of allowing cheats and actions that would have been impossible normally. Most NES emulators these days support using Game Genie codes.
