So you've just got the New Super Mario Bros. game, it's all so much fun until you run out of the little amount of lives you start with and you have to return back to where you last saved! Follow these instructions and you will never have this problem again!

Steps

First Method

  1. Go to level 2-4.
  2. Finish the level like you would do normally, except when you get near the flag at the end, there should be a Koopa Troopa coming down the stairs.
  3. As it is coming down the third to last stair, jump on it.
  4. If this is done correctly, you can keep jumping on it to build the points.
  5. After you build the points as high as it can go, it will start to give you one ups.
    • You should be able to take you hands off the DS and watch your lives build.
    • You can get up to 99 lives.
  6. You may lose lives through time out.

Second Method

  1. If you have unlocked World 4, go to the level where you go underground, the one infested with the Bob-bombs.
  2. Go to the place where the bombs come out of the pipes. Place the bomb where under the pipe.
  3. It should explode.
  4. Kill the Koopa right next to it and make it shell-dash.
  5. AFTER you did the trick with the Koopa, wait for a spiny to start dashing on its own.
  6. Keep following it but do not touch it as it will start the process again. It will keep killing bombs.
  7. Beware that you could lose lives by running out of time.

Third Method

  1. Go to level 1-1.
  2. Hit the block with the Mega Mushroom inside.
  3. Wait till it is about to fall down the pit. Collect it before then.
  4. Rush to the flagpole and then knock it down.
  5. This will get you 5 1-ups.
  6. Keep playing the level over and over again.

Fourth Method

  1. Go to level 1-4.
  2. Jump on the red Koopa Troopa 1 time, hold the Koopa by holding the X or Y button.
  3. Run to the yellow pipe with the Koopa and release the X or Y button to release the Koopa. After you score up to 8000 , it should say 1UP.
