Defeating Bowser
Dancing Mario
This trick will work anywhere except in underwater missions where
you wear a bowl on your head. If Mario is standing, you can
actually make him dance. Whenever you standing still, lightly
press Control-stick Down. Mario will start moving his legs, but
not go anywhere, and appears as if he is dancing. You can also
make him dance like a ballerina. Move as if to do an Air Spin on
the ground and press R once. Mario will be spinning very fast, to
the point that there are sparks coming out of the ground. However,
it will only work for about five seconds and you can shoot water
at the same time to do a Ground Sprinkler attack.
Trapped evil Mario
From time to time, evil Mario may make a mistake in a jump and get
stuck on a wall. When this happens, you will have to reset the game.
Yoshi's color
At Hotel Delfino in the mission you need to use Yoshi, retrieve
him and let his juice meter run low. Once the meter is down about
two thirds, continuously spray him with water until his color
washes off to reveal a green Yoshi with the previous color's spit.
Fruit sound
In Pinna Park's beach area, you can hear the sound a regenerating
fruit makes behind the sunglasses man behind the rocky wall. This
is as if the programmers forgot to remove something there -- you
can hear fruit regenerate and splash into water inside the rocky wall.
Double sided Mantas
Go to the Manta level. Talk to the hotel manager. When the Manta
appears, break it into its smallest forms. Then, go under the roof
and wait for the Mantas to be above it. Switch to Mario cam and
look at the roof. It will appear as if the mantas are crawling
under the roof.
Hard cloud
When on top of the Sandbird in Noki Bay where you have to find the
Red Coins, there are many clouds. When you get very high up, jump
down and land on a cloud. Mario will get hurt as if he fell on
something hard.
Spray water out of the Turbo Nozzle
Get a Turbo Nozzle in any level. Bring out your Squirt Nozzle and
hold R all the way down. While holding R, switch to your Turbo
Nozzle and you will be squirting water out of it.
Fly without a Hover Nozzle
Go into a tree. Stand near a branch and it will seem as if Mario
is flying. You can also stomp in this form.
Get in cannon
Go up to one of the red cannons (which has not been unlocked).
Jump above the guy and stomp. It may take a few attempts, but if
it works, you should be in the cannon. If you look up, the guy's
body will not be complete.
Go through building
From where you start, go right towards Noki Bay. Around that area
is a lady who wants bananas. Wall Jump on that building and hover
back towards it. Make sure that you are in between the ledge and
the top of the window. If done correctly, you should go through
the building. If you land in it, you will lose a life. This may
require a few attempts.
See through building
Go to Sirena Beach on mission four. Talk to the man in front of
the hotel and he will take you inside. Go close to the steps, then
switch to the Mario Cam. Look up by the totem pole and eventually
you will see the platform ghosts from the second mission.
Bouncy roof does not work
At the beginning of the game, you can hop up on top of the crates
and onto the bouncy roof (it will not bounce you).
Paint stuck in ground
You can get to the other side of the airport and underwater. You
can see a large column of paint stuck in the ground, even though
its in water.
Defeating Piranha Plants
You can defeat all Piranha Plants by squirting them when they have
their mouth open.
Defeating Wiggler
Water one of the Dune Buds and it will make a hill. Wiggler will
run into it and turn over. After that, do a Ground Pound onto his
stomach. Do this three times. To fight Wiggler, you first
have to do the mission with the mirrors to get him off the tower.
Birds
There are birds in almost every level in the game. Spray a green
bird for a Yellow Coin, a blue bird for a Blue Coin, and a yellow
bird for a Shine Sprite.
Raining
To make it seem as if it is raining, have the sprayer equipped and
do a triple jump. Then, hold R after you land. Drops will be
falling from the sky.
Sleeping Mario
Remain idle during game play and Mario will fall asleep.
Toad trampoline
After completing the first level and getting the first Shine
Sprite, exit the statue area. Princess Peach's toads will be in
the area. You can jump on top of them. If you jump on top of the
normal colored toad correctly, Mario will continue to jump up and down on it.
Mario game clips
During the intermission sequence where FLUDD (the water backpack)
identifies Mario, you can view short clips of past Mario games,
including Super Mario 64, in the lower left corner.
Select files with moves
When you are selecting a file you can do a Spin Move and the Side
Jump to get onto the blocks.
Extra crane
Go to Rico Harbor and go to where the Void level is located (on
the very left). Go below the secret area and talk to the man on
the boxes. Then, talk to him ten times in different positions.
Once out of the ten times you will see a crane halfway in the
wall, but when you are done talking to him the crane will disappear.
False reflection
Go to Delfino Plaza. Go to the area where the lighthouse stands
(Gelato Beach). Splash into the ocean behind the light house and
climb onto the rocky platforms. Then, go up the platforms and you
will see a pipe. Turn on your Hover Nozzle. Next stand close to
the edge of the platform, but face the pipe. Finally, use your
Hover Nozzle into the pipe. You should see Mario in the reflection
of the water when he is falling down the pipe, even though you are
supposed to see the pipe.
Finding Coins
Find a patch of flowers and spray them all quickly. Four or five
Coins will appear from the middle of the patch.
If you wash off a person with sludge, they may give you a Blue Coin.
Go on top of trees and you might find some extra Coins.
Eat the green birds with Yoshi to get regular Coins. Eating blue
birds will give you Blue Coins.
You can get Blue Coins for helping the people in Delfino Plaza get
fruit and putting them into a basket.
Spray a symbol (X) with water until it goes away. A blue coin will
appear from another symbol (and vice versa).
If you wander around in the manhole (usually in underwater
tunnels) you will find yellow and blue coins.
Get coins in the harbor (with Bloopers) by going onto the sky
walks. There are tons of coins up there.
During the first level, when you approach a red circle on the
beach, stomp there to find the question mark coins.
Go to the island with the stranded man on it with Yoshi. Spray the
yellow thing on the pipe to make it disappear. You will play a
lily pad game in which you have to get 8 Coins.
If you see a blue butterfly, eat it with Yoshi and a Blue Coin
will appear. This also works with blue birds, but spray them with
your water cannon three times.
On the ground at the Theme Park level are hidden blue Shine Sprite
symbols. They are on the ground outside of the theme park on the
beach. You will receive a Blue Coin from them.
On the Theme Park level on the Yoshi Merry-Go-Round episode, spray
the flying things, then jump on them. Each time you do so, you get
five Coins. After you kill all of them, get Yoshi (the fruit is
hidden in the ground; spray the ground to get it). Eat the yellow
and green butterflies to get more Coins. Spray the ground to get
the rest of the Coins that are hidden there.
To get all Red Coins on the sand bird, get all the ones on the
bird then there will be one on a platform at the end of the level.
Do the Watermelon Festival mission and dive into the watermelon. A
Coin will appear. You only get about ten Coins from a watermelon.
Find a sketch of fake Mario and spray it with water to get Coins.
Only some sketches will give Coins.
Defeating Gooper Blooper
When he punches you with his arm, jump on it and it will flatten.
Then, press B and pull his arm off. Do this for each arm. When the
arms are gone, pull off the nose. Do this process twice to win.
When facing Gooper Blooper the second time, do the same thing
before, however you can sometimes just pull his nose off twice to win.
When facing Gooper Blooper the third time, use the same tactics
used in the first two encounters.
Defeating King Boo
Spray King Boo to get him to do the slots. When it lands on the
fruits, throw a red pepper into his mouth, then throw any fruit at
him. Do this three times to win. Land on coins for coins and
? for enemies.
Defeating Mecha-Bowser
Get a rocket and when you get close to him, shoot it at his head.
Squirt the Bullet Bills with water, and also squirt the flames to
avoid getting hit. Do this three times to win.
Defeating Mantas
Hide in the hut where the "girl" is located during the Manta fight
in Sirena Beach Episode 1. If you talk to her before the fight,
she tells you that it was safe there during the first attack. When
they pass over, they go on the rooftop over Mario and you will not
get hurt. Run out, squirt them, then run back inside.
Talk to the hotel manager and Mantas will appear. Go onto a tree
and spray it. It will split every time you spray it. This takes a
long time but is not difficult.
Defeat Piranha Pete
When he opens his mouth, keep spraying water into it until he
falls down. Then do a Ground Pound onto the little bump on his
stomach . Do this three times to defeat him.
In the second battle with him, get to a high place and spray him
with water. He will fall to the ground. Then, go face to face with
him and he will try to spit sludge. Before he does, spray water
into his mouth and repeat the process as done during the first
battle. Do this three times.
Extra stars on secret levels
After you complete a secret level, go back to that episode and
replay the secret level. This time there will be a red hump on the
ground. Ground Pound it and get the red coins. There will be a
time limit, but you have FLUDD to help you.
Easy cleaning
Instead of taking a bath each time Mario gets dirty, do one or two
spin jumps.
Jump onto buildings
Use a Ground Pound on a manhole cover then immediately jump up.
This will send you high into the air. Use a Hover Nozzle to get on
the building. Some items, such as Shine Sprites and Blue Coins, can
be found on roofs.
Jump higher
Run in one direction, then turn in the other direction quickly
enough so that Mario stirs some dirt up. Then, jump immediately in
the air. Mario will jump higher and do some flips.
Spinning jump
After jumping, you can do a spin by rotating the Analog-stick once
in a circle.
Sprinkler Water Spray
To execute the Sprinkler Water Spray easily, do a Spin Jump and hold R.
Cover more area with your FLUDD
Jump three times to do a forward somersault. As you roll, shoot
your Nozzle Cannon and spray a long distance in front, behind, and below you.
Avoid losing health when falling
When falling from high places, press L to do a Ground Pound. This
will make you fall very fast and not lose health.
Faster movement
To make Mario get around a little faster, use the single spray
nozzle and shoot a small amount of water in front of him. Run and
press B to do a belly slide. He will slide through the water and
keep going at a high speed. This will continue as long as you do
not hit anything. Keep belly hopping rapidly to go very fast. This
is especially helpful in the timed and racing episodes.
Run up steeper slopes faster
Dive (press B) at the slope while running at it. As soon as you
hit the slope, jump and continue pressing Control-stick Up. This
should cause Mario to run very fast. If you hit a wall or another
object in this state, he will bounce off it.
Swim faster
When swimming, switch to your hover and press R. It will give you
a little boost while swimming.
Not only can you hold R with the Hover Nozzle while pressing A to
swim fast; if you hold C-stick Up as well, you can swim very fast.
The C-stick trick also works when Mario is wearing his "scuba
gear", which is great for the Red Coin fish stage.
Defeating the gopher
To defeat the gopher in the cannon at Galeto Beach, spray the
bombs he throws (they will turn blue), then throw them at him.
Defeat giant eel
Go into the bottle in Noki Bay that the old man has. Spray all of
the eel's teeth when his mouth opens.
Caged Shine Sprite in Rico Harbor
Instead of jumping on the trampolines to get the Shine Sprite
after you get the Rocket Nozzle, go to the platform directly under
the cage. Use the Rocket Nozzle. If done correctly, you should
catch on to the bottom of the cage. Swing to the door and press A
to flip over, stand in the cage, and get the Shine Sprite.
Sirena Beach
When you have Yoshi, go to the roof above the fountain where you
started. Have yoshi eat the pineapple in the warp pipe on the
roof. Go inside to get to Sirena Beach.
Extra lives in Sirena Beach
Go to the Sirena Beach level (with the haunted hotel and casino),
preferably in the second episode. To the left of where you begin
are three boxes. The middle one has an extra life in it. You can
get it, exit the level, and repeat this as many times as desired.
Use the following trick to get five extra lives in less than a
minute. Play episode 6 (Scrubbing Sirena Beach). You will have to
complete this level at least once or you will only receive four
extra men. The first extra life is in the middle crate to the left
of the start. There are four people on the first deck covered in
goop. Wash them off and talk to them. If you have never talked to
them they will give Blue Coins. If you have already gotten the
Blue Coins, then they will give you a 1-Up Mushroom. Press Start
to exit, then repeat the process to get many lives very quickly.
Coins in Sirena Beach
Go to episode 1 or 4. In episode 1, spray the entire area of
ground to get Coins. In episode 4, play the slots to win Coins.
To get 100 Coins, in episode 1 battle the ray and spray the gunk.
Collect at least 66 coins. The other 34 can be collected from the
treetops and safe areas under the tents.
Sirena Beach, Mantas
In episode 1, when the big manta appears, spray it with water.
Eventually, they will turn purple and come after you. Go near a
hut and do the Spin Jump, spraying water at the mantas. This will
help you complete the level.
Extra lives in Obstacle courses
To get extra lives in the obstacle courses, try nailing in the
nails by Ground Pounding them.
Go to the second obstacle level (with spinning cubes and
platforms) and get the extra life on the star and the one floating
by the spinning cube (second). Exit the area and repeat this as
many times as desired.
Get around obstacles
You can usually get up or around obstacles on either side by
jumping to wall kick. Then use your Hover Jets to get the rest of
the way up, or just side jump to Hover Jet. This is especially
useful when taking shortcuts around large obstacle courses.
Finding Shine Sprites
Go out to the island where the man is stranded. You will see a
gold bird flying around. Shoot it with your water cannon and a
Shine Sprite will appear.
Get the turbo power-up. Turbo through the door where you first met
the police. You will enter to a special area made especially for the turbo.
Whenever you see a yellow bird flying around, shoot it with water
and it will turn into a Shine Sprite. One can be found in Isle
Delfino, around the island where the man is stranded. A second can
be found in Noki Bay; at the upper left part of the bay is a
square in the ground (where Mario appears) and a palm tree. The
yellow bird will be sitting on the palm tree, or flying around it.
Go into the side of the boat house to buy Shine Sprites with Blue
Coins. Each Shine Sprite costs ten Blue Coins. You can only buy up
to 24 Shine Sprites because there are only 240 Blue Coins in the game.
Go to the Star Gate. To the right will be a woman wanting your
help. Jump on the edge of the basket and double-jump. Water jet
towards the mountain. You will end up on the mountain. Go on the
right side (facing the Star Gate)and Wall Kick the left side of
the gate until you get to a ledge. Clean off the star completely.
A Shine Sprite will appear high on top of the gate.
Noki Bay
Stand in the beam of light that appears in town and look up at the
sun. You will be transported to a level called Noki Bay.
Coins in Noki Bay
Go to episode 6 and get the Coins on the cliffs and on top of the water.
You will find many of the Coins in the water in Episode 6 (about
50). The other 50 can be found in the walls and near the Rocket Nozzle.
Coins in Pianta Village
Go to episode 1 and put out the flames on the mushrooms. Ground
Pound them to get Coins. Also Ground Pound the nose of the Pianta
tree and concrete basin.
If you need more coins, destroy all the boxes in the level.
Shine Sprites in Pianta Village
Select episode 8. Go to the highest part of the stage (the tower
on the giant rainbow tree) and look at the sun. Shoot water at it,
and an image of a Shine appears. Show the entire image and a Shine
Sprite will appear.
Defeating el Piantissimo
On one of the episodes on Pianta Village, you have to race eI
Piantissimo. This race can be very frustrating. In order to defeat
him easily, spray some water on the ground in front of you. Then,
run and press B (slide). You should be sliding a lot faster than
normal and can keep this up for a long time. If you slide to the
tree at the finish fast enough, you should be able to run to the
top and claim your victory.
Get Yoshi in Pinna Park
Progress though the game till you get 25 Shine Sprites. Go to
Pinnal Park and complete Story #4 . You will now be back in town.
The Fake Mario will appear with an egg. Chase him down to get Yoshi.
Coins in Pinna Park
Go to episode 2, but do not destroy the cannon. Let it shoot
Bullet Bills at you . Spray them to get Coins. Gold Bullet Bills
contain a lot of coins.
You can find some more coins by spraying the sand.
To get the blue coins in Pinna Park's beach inside the baskets,
play the second mission. Instead of heading towards him to defeat
him, stand behind or on top of the baskets and wait for either a
Bullet Bill or Missile Bill to come at you. Jump out of the way
and the baskets will break apart, allowing you to access the Coins.
Pinna Valley
Jump onto the top of the Shine Statue in Delfino Plaza. Enter the
red pipe there to get to Pinna Valley.
Coins in Rico Harbor
In the Rico Harbor level, go to the episode when you must defeat
the giant Bloober. At the construction area (where the big tower
is located) spray water on the left of the big cliff, but not on
the cliff. A blue Sun Sprite outline will appear and you will get
a Blue Coin. Squirt it multiple times to get six Coins.
Episode 3 is an easy place to rake in 100 Coins. After scouring
the tunnels for coins, check the catwalks and jump on the
Bloopers. You willl uncover a good chunk of change.
Sunglasses in Delfino Plaza
To get the sunglasses, talk to the man wearing glasses on the
beach in Delfino Plaza. The sunglasses tint your screen as if you
were actually wearing them. He is also found in many other levels.
He will not give them to you if you have less that 20 Shine
Sprites. Talk to him again to take them off.
Delfino Plaza, lighting up Isle Delfino
The more Shine Sprites you collect, the more sun will get though..
When you have collected sixty Shines, all of Isle Delfino will light up.
Coins in Gelato Beach
There are four points where you spray the ground and a shape of a
sun appears. One is where Yoshi is located, two are to the left
and right of the island, and one is in the middle. All are on the
sand. You will receive a Blue Coin. Also, there are two or three
Blue Coins out in the water.
Bring watermelons to the stand to exchange for Coins. Dive into
the watermelon. A Coin will appear. You only get about ten Coins
from a watermelon.
Episode 8 is a great place to get 100 Coins. Bring in the
watermelons for some Coins and do not forget swings out in the water.
Shine Sprite in Gelato Beach
Jump up to the level of sand that is on the same level as the two
mirrors. There is a Dune Bud there. Shoot it with water and what
looks like stairs going down will appear. Quickly shoot the wall
opposite the stairs and a Shine Sprite picture will appear. Once
the picture is complete, a Shine Sprite will appear.
Near Gelato Beach (the lighthouse), spray all around the area to
uncover a Shine Sprite.
Shine Sprites in Delfino Plaza
In Delfino Plaza A, go to the far end of the beach near the
lighthouse. Spray all over the sand until you find an area where
the sparks fly. Focus the water there until a Shine Sprite appears.
In Delfino Plaza B around the lighthouse area, find the pillars in
the water. Jump from pillar to pillar using your Hover Nozzle.
Jump until you get to a pillar with a pipe on it. Go into the
pipe, and complete the obstacle course to get a Shine Sprite.
In Delfino Plaza C, on the west side of the plaza, there is a man
on a rooftop with a weathervane that asks you if you want to pay a
Coin to be thrown. Face the bridge with the tower on top and ask.
You will be picked up and thrown into the tower, where a Shine
Sprite is waiting for you.
In Delfino Plaza D, on the left side of the big tower with the
defaced Shine Sprite, go into an open building. A man will give
you a Shine Sprite if you break all the boxes in the room in 30
seconds or less. This is easy -- just do the Ground Pound (A + L).
After that, you can go back and face even more boxes stacked up,
and you will get a Shine Sprite. This is more difficult than the
first time. Use a group of two stacked up boxes to get to the
higher stacks and work your way down.
You can still do the crate mini-game on Delfino Plaza even after
you get all the Shine Sprites from it. This will restore all the
Coins and 1-Up Mushrooms in the level, but you will keep all the
Coins you had when you starting the mini-game. Use this to get as
many lives and coins as desired.
In Delfino Plaza E, Go to where the bridge crosses over a harbor
where a boat constantly goes under. Get on top of the boat, and
where the Coin is floating under the bridge, do a double jump into
the Coin. You will surpass it and fly into a level where you must
collect eight Red Coins to get a star. Its very difficult, but very fun.
Wash both of the bells in Delfino Plaza to get two Shine Sprites.
Wash the big sprite to get a Shine Sprite in Delfino Plaza. Do
this by using the Rocket Nozzle.
Get the Yoshi on the roof then go to the manhole near where one of
the boats are located. Go under the bridge, where the Coin
hovering under the bridge is located. Go in the manhole and get to
the island with the lady with the basket. While waiting for the
second boat to come in, spit down a couple of coconuts to save on
the ground. When the boat arrives and starts to circle the island,
eat the coconut for the long trip, then jump on the boat. When the
boat gets to the little tower where the banana is located, hop on
the tower and wait for the third boat. When it gets near, eat the
banana and hop on that boat. Ride it to the island where the
stranded guy is located with the campfire. Spit with Yoshi on the
stuff blocking the pipe. Hop into the pipe and it will take you to
another star puzzle where you have to get on a leaf and squirt to
go downstream and get the Red Coins. If you miss some, try to
hover to a ledge and work your way through the channel, picking up
Red Coins by hovering over then and landing on the ledge on the other side.
On the eastern part of the town, swim to the island where there is
a man , a fire, and a pipe. There will be a yellow bird on the
island. Spray the bird about three times and a Shine Sprite will
appear on the pillars near the lighthouse.
Get a Rocket attachment and go to the lighthouse. Once there,
rocket to the top of the lighthouse. You should be standing on a
Black Pad with a fire symbol. Rocket up, and when high up, Ground
Pound. The Black Pad should break, giving you a Shine Sprite.
Look for the little island by the place with all the fruit stands.
Go there but do not go on the right side. Instead, try to swim
towards the left side. You will see a yellow bird. Do not go to
it. Stay where you are, enter look mode, then squirt it. If it
flies in circles in the sky, remain in look mode and keep
squirting it. A Shine Sprite will appear on those mountains by the
lighthouse. You will need Yoshi to get it.
To get an extra Shine Sprite on a fairly easy sub-world, get the
rocket FLUDD attachment and head towards the red cannon at Delfino
Plaza. Swim along the right side near the rocks and pass the
sideways hanging palm trees. Just past it, charge your rocket and
jump just before the meter fills up. You will be able to enter a
pipe on a tiny cliff. The mission is to collect eight Red Coins on
one supply of water -- fill up before going there. There are two
obvious Red Coins sitting around. To get the other Coins, shoot
the red bird that flies around, extinguish the man on fire (shoot
only when you have a clear shot to preserve water), jump on the
two Flowerheads, shoot one Purple Flowerhead from a distance and
jump on him, look around the high grass for an opening where a Red
Coin lies just below (look near or around the edges of this area).
To get this Shine Sprite you need the Speed Nozzle (28 Shines
required). In Delfino Plaza run around and face the "M" on the
statue. Look to your left and you will see a building with
swinging doors. It is the building where the man tells you to get
the graffiti off his wall. Run up to the doors and charge up your
Speed Nozzle. When you release it, it will shoot you through the
doors where you can get the Shine Sprite.
Yoshi's Spritzer Squirt
Press R, then press A.
Sunglasses and shirt Pianta location
The following is where the Pianta man that gives you the
sunglasses is located in each level.
Delfino Plaza: Fruits Street.
Bianco Hilles: Near the start point.
Ricco Harbor: Near the start point.
Gelato Beach: Beach house.
Pinna Park: Near the start point.
Sirena Beach and Noki Bay: Not found in this level.
Pianta Village: In the village during the daytime only.
Extra lives in Bianco Hills
After you complete episode 3 (The Hillside Cave Secret), go back
into Bianco Hills and choose episode 4. Instead of doing that
episode, go back to the hillside cave. This time you do not lose
FLUDD. There is a secret level up there, where if you press the
red plunger you have to collect red coins in the allotted time. Do
not hit it. Simply go up to the first wood platform with nails and
Ground Pound the right nail three times until the 1-Up appears.
Then, using the Hover Nozzle, make your way toward the end of the
level. You will see the second 1-Up in the air above the second
star. Use the Hover Nozzle again to get it without worrying about
your step. Then, simply fall and die. Since you collected two
1-Ups, you will have a net gain of one 1-Up, The game starts you
at the beginning of the cave, where you can repeat this as many
times as desired to build up your extra lives. Once you get used
to it, this will take about 30 to 45 seconds each time. When done,
you can either do the red coin deal (gives you a Shine), or jump
to the non-lit Shine to exit. Since you did not die, this time you
will have a net gain of two 1-Ups.
When you start episode 6 you will see an extra life that you can
get each time you die.
Coins in Bianco Hills
Go into episode 3 and kill many enemies to get Coins. Splatter
fake flowers against the wall to get three Coins.
Your best chance to pick up 100 Coins is in episode 3. There are
lots of easy to find Coins. Do not forget to splat enemies on the
ground, in the trees, and the two bird-like things in the air
outside of the gate.
Yoshi or Turbo Nozzle in Bianco Hills
If you want Yoshi and the Turbo Nozzle, do the same requirements
to get Yoshi, but before you complete Pinna Park episode 4, try to
have 25 Shine Sprites. When you get Yoshi, enter Bianco Hills. As
soon as you get there, exit, then chase the fake Mario and get the
Turbo Nozzle. When you go by the place you enter Bianco Hills, you
can use the Turbo Nozzle or Yoshi
Coins in Corona Mountain
There are ten Blue Coins in Corona Mountain. Try to get all of
them in the boat.
Extra Lives in Delfino
When in Delfino Plaza, go to the beach. There is a hidden sewer
grate. Spray around until you see the red circle just past the
second umbrella. Ground Pound to go into the sewer ad find a 1-Up
Mushroom there. Enter a stage, exit, go back, and repeat as needed.
Coins in Delfino Plaza
Spray the wanted of Mario posters in Delfino Plaza to get one Coin
each. Some do not always give Coins.
Spray into an open window in Delfino Bay to receive Coins.
In Delfino Plaza, most coins are in the underground manhole
tunnels. Also try eating birds with Yoshi.
The best way to get 100 Coins is to defeat Bowser and get access
to the airstrip. You can easily get 100 coins there. Otherwise,
you can travel the underground pipes to collect coins and spray
the "Mario Wanted" posters.
When in Isle Defino, collect 50 Coins to get one life then go to
the Pianta who throws you into the window. Pay him one Coin, then
steer away from the window and get another coin. You will get
another life. Repeat the process for more lives.
Ending bonus

Alternate ending screen
If you complete the game with 119 Shine Sprites or less you will

paintbrush. However, if you finish it with all 120 Shine Sprites,
the ending screen will show all the characters in the game.
There are 240 Blue Coins and 120 Shine Sprites. You need 50 Shine
Sprites and have level 7 completed on all seven stages to get to
level 8. You only need 117 Shine Sprites to complete the game to
get one ending. Get the last three Shine Sprites to see a
different ending. Get the shirt and glasses for a different
appearing ending.
Yoshi juice
After eating a fruit, Yoshi can then spit out juice to defeat enemies.
Different fruit affects the color of your juice spray. Purple
juice turns enemies into floating platforms that go left, right,
or straight and back. Pink juice turns enemies into pink platforms
that go up and down. Orange juice creates stationary platforms.
While you are on Yoshi when talking to someone, press R and you
can spray them with juice.
? Yoshi
Go into a manhole with Yoshi and he will turn into a ?.
Higher jumps with Yoshi
Do Mario's spinning technique when on Yoshi to jump higher. He can
also spit juice in this form.
Triple jump with Yoshi
If you run and jump three times with Yoshi, you can do a triple
jump similar to Mario's, but without the extra animation.
Mystery door in Noki Bay
Go to episode 3 and go to the bottom of the bottle. You can go
into one of the notches in the little building. You will see a
door. Move the camera around to the other side of the door to see
a book on the other side. There does not seem to be a way in the door.
Extra lives in Pianta Village
Select episode 5 (Secret Of The Village Underside). Get Yoshi and
go to the beginning mushroom. Go to the end, following them and
spray Yoshi's juice on the yellow-orange "squiggles". Go into the
hole that appears and you should see Chucksters. They throw you
behind them -- talk to them at the opposite angle that you want to
be thrown to until you reach a place that has pictures with big
noses that run after you. Spray three to six of them, then jump on
one. All of the ones that are upside down will also die, giving
you an extra life. They always return unless you spray the picture
of the ones on the wall that is a kind of portal they go through.
Repeat this until you have as many lives as needed.
Secret levels in Obstacle courses
After almost every obstacle course, there is secret level in which
you go to the obstacle course and Ground Pound a red button to
find eight Red Coins in a certain amount of time.
Easy lives
Whenever you complete a level, go to the water directly next to
where the boats go in and out. Dive all the way to the bottom and
you will see a 1-Up Mushroom. Whenever you return from a level or
start from the beginning, it will be there.
Go to the island where the man is stranded and spray the fire. A
1-Up Mushroom will appear.
Anybody that gives you a blue coin the first time you wash them
off, or get them fruit, will also give you a 1-Up if you wash them
off or get them fruit again.
There is a manhole near the fruit stands near the lighthouse. Hop
in it and go towards the lighthouse. As soon as you have a choice
to go towards the water, do so. Follow the path to a 1-Up Mushroom.
Avoid dying
Pause game play when you are about to die and select "Exit Area".
You will be teleported in front of the level you were at and not
lose a life. This does not work if you are falling.
Defeating Bowser
Bowser will shoot flames at you. Use the Rocket Nozzle to jump
over them. Also spray the Bullet Bills that Baby Bowser shoots
out. Go to each of the five fire symbols and shoot the Rocket
Nozzle directly above them. Then, at your highest point, do a
Ground Pound. Watch out though; the ledge falls off when you pound
it. If you fall, use the Rocket Nozzle to try and get back up. Do
this on all five of the symbols.
