Super Mario Bros 3 Secrets And Cheats
Bowser hard mode (by coldkiller)
Ok you need to be raccoon Mario or Tanooki Mario. Head toward the room full of donut blocks with fireballs and lava in the bottom. Head to the top middle section with a item block. Head to the back and run toward the lava then fly up and then toward the right at the top section. Alright the rooms are a little different.
The Bowser statues are on pedestals and no item block after. The lava room shoots fire forward and backwards. hard huh? Then when you fight Bowser the broken blocks are almost everywhere and there is a little spot where Bowser can fall and die. Oh Bowser goes very fast and jumps lower than usual. takes long time to beat. I had to try it 5 times. good luck if you are going for the challenge!
Change forms
Press Select while playing a normal game to change into different Marios or Luigis (Mushroom, Fire Flower, Super Leaf, Frog, Tannokie, and Hammer Brother).
Extra items
Go to a mushroom house and choose a treasure box. Press Start, save the game, and quit. Repeat everything again to get a number of extra items, depending on how many times this is repeated.
Get loads of lives for free at World 3-9
Kick a Koopa shell between the second and third Bullet Bill cannons after a few shots are fired you will gain points, then after that you'll get a life for each time a shot is fired.
Getting the boot
Hold Y and press Select.
Getting flutes
Enter the fortress at the first place with a cape. Go all the way to the end of the first part. Hit the dinosaur that is made out of bones. Then, go back near the door, quickly run to the ledge just before the lava, and fly up to the top of the screen. Press Right while moving towards the top of the screen. After reaching the top, press Up to reach a new room.
In World 1-3, you can get a flute by standing on the last white block in the level. Keep pressing Down until you fall through the block, then hold X to run fast to the end. You will get the flute instead of the card.
In World 2, the Sand World, there are two Hammer Bros. right before the 'castle'. Defeat the Hammer Bro. that gives you the hammer at the end. Then, take it to the upper right-hand corner, face to the right, and break the block. Enter the passage that leads to a Fire Chomp battle. Defeat the two opponents to get a flute.
Hidden blocks
When the level has a starry background, look for stars that stick out (of a different colour to the majority), in front of these you will find hidden blocks with either coins or items in.
How do get to Bowser's world fast (by coldkiller)
Ok you need to get 2 warp whistles in world 1. The first one is in 3rd level near the end stand up then duck on the white block until you fall. Run toward the end behind the black curtain to be in a secret place with the whistle. The other whistle is in the fortress. Go where the first dry bones is found.
Stomp on it then fly toward the left and head up toward the right until your in another secret are where another whistle can be found. Now beat world 1. When your in world 2 use it and choose world 7. then use the other whistle to head toward world 8. There you have it!
Mario climbs on air
Go to the two platforms right after the Hammer Bros. in level 3-1 and get on the lowest platform. Jump to make the vine come out on the right side of the platform. Then, drop down and slowly walk off the edge of the cliff you are standing on. You now should be climbing on air. Note: If you run against the bottom stair, press Right when you are in the air to slide across the cliff.

Super Mario Bros 3 Game Boy Cheats 4
OH MY GOD!!
Discovering this freaked me out but there you go... if you stand next to a chain chomp too long (When someone's on the phone when your trying to play) it breaks free and leaps at Mario/Luigi. hehe quite good...
Swim in lava on battleships
In World 8 Battleships, you can swim in lava without dieing. It is possible to swim the entire level beneath these ships if done properly.
The Underground
To do the following you must have a P-Wing (strange huh...) and it is for use on the following worlds: 1-2, 3-4, and 6-8. On the grassy levels mario can access tunnels under the ground and skip nearly the entire level in them... not that it matters with a P-Wing because you practically skip the level anyway
White Mushroom Houses
In these houses you always get either a P-Wing or an anchor, depending on the amount of coins you have at the time will decide which you are given. There are one of these houses in all worlds except world 8.
World 8
To get to World 8, first go to stage 1-3. Near the end of the stage is a white block. Hold Down until you fall down to the ground. Run across the screen behind the bushes until reaching the end of the level. Run behind the blackness until you enter toad's room. Get the whistle. Next, go to the Mid Castle. Get the first mushroom if you are small, and continue until reaching the door, but do not enter.Get the Leaf and destroy the Bone Koopa. Run back and forth until you reach full speed.
Then, fly up next to the lava and over the ceiling. When you can not go any further to the right, press Up and enter the room. Pick up the chest containing a whistle. Now complete World 2 up until the pyramid level. Make sure you have a hammer from the Hammer Bros. and go to the top right side of the screen. Hit the rock next to the palm tree and move right. Defeat the fire thieves to get the whistle. Finally, summon three whistles. They will take you to world 8.

Control title screen
Original Super Mario Bros Cheats
At the title screen where you choose to play the original Mario Bros. or Super Mario Bros. 3, keep switching the game highlighted continuously. Eventually on the top choice, Mario will appear with a turtle shell and on the bottom Luigi will pop out. Additionally, at the title screen where you choose to play the original Mario Bros. or Super Mario Bros, keep pressing Up then Down as fast as possible. It will look like the Mario standing near the Super Mario Bros. 3 sign is jogging.
Level selectSuccessfully complete the game (you can just use a warp whistle to get to World 8). You can now select any World you want to go to at anytime. If you complete all of the levels (including Hammer Bros., Toadstool Houses, and the casino-type game), you can play any level as many times as desired. This includes the Hammer Bros., the Toadstool Houses, the casino things, and even the fortresses and castles.
Extra livesStart a new game, playing as both Mario and Luigi. Steal (exchange) all of Luigi's lives that you can (four). Pause the game, then select 'Save & Quit'. Reload that same game, playing as only Mario. He will now have nine lives, and Luigi will not be around. Note: You can execute this trick at any point in the game if you need a few extra lives. Additionally, successfully complete the game, then go to any world. Go to any spinner (casino). Play it until win an extra life. Repeat this as many times as desired.
CapeAvailable only through an e-Reader, the Cape allows Mario or Luigi to fly indefinitely, as long as you continuously press Left to stay in the air.
ShadowOn the title screen after you select the Super Mario Bros. 3 game, look at the 3's shadow. It has a tail and an ear like Mario when he has the raccoon power.
Special starsWhen you chose either Mario Advance or Classic, there will be stars over the Mario brothers part that are equal to how many millions of points your high score is. For example, a high score of 2,163,170 will have two stars.
Match GameThe Match Game will appear every time you earn a multiple of 80,000 points. (80,000, 160,000, 240,000, etc.). This a mini-game in which you have to match two of the same cards.
Coin shipUse the following trick to make a coin ship appear on the map. End any level with both the coin and the last two numbers of the point total equal to any multiple of 11. The time also has to stop on an even number. For example, 55 coins and 009844 points. The coin ship is a ship full of coins and an extra life.
FlutesA Flute can be found in World 1-3. Hop on the white block toward the end of the level and hold Down on the block for six seconds. Mario will drop down. Finish the level and you will be sent to a chest room containing a Flute. Also on the very first fortress that you encounter, you have to skip across some lava. After the lava, there is a block with a Feather in it, and one of those skeletons that cannot be defeated. Squash the skeleton quickly with the Raccoon Suit on, then get your 'P' all the way up so that you can fly. Fly up the right wall and you land on top. Go right until you cannot go further. Then, press Up as you would when opening a door. Inside there is a Flute that Toad gives you. You do not have to face Boom Boom.
The Flutes transport you to certain places, depending on what world you are in. If you are in World 1, it will transport you to the 2, 3, and 4 line. If you are in World 3 or 4, it will transport you to the 5 ,6, and 7 line. If you are in World 7, you can go to the bottom line that leads to World 8. World 2 is always random. If you use two flutes one after the other, you will automatically go to World 8. Note: Sometimes this may not be the exact method for when a flute is used, but 90% of the time it will be this way.
There is a Flute in World 2. Use the hammer you get from the Hammer Bros. on the rock in the top right corner. On the next screen, you will find a Fire Bros. Defeat it for a Flute.
Last WorldGet the two Whistles found in World 1-3. Use the first one to get to World 7, then use the other Whistle to warp to World 8.
Infinite itemsWhen you get an item you like in a Toad House, get a game over and try again. The Toad House can be done again.
Note: This trick requires an e-Reader. Scan the Super Leaf card that is included with the game when you have a connection with the e-Reader. You can keep scanning until your inventory is full.
Giant '?' block in World 3-5Using the frog suit, you can get inside the second pipe on the bottom of the level (found about halfway though the level). Hold Right as you enter the pipe to get to where the giant '?' block is located.
