Super Mario 3D World Cheats and Tips

When you enter the pipe at the start of the level you will come to a wall you can climb. At the top of the wall you will find a turtle and a power-up block. If you smash through the two purple blocks on the ground using a butt stomp you will find another turtle there. Stomp on that turtle without hitting it's shell and walk off from the left onto the shell. If you manage to do this correctly it will break the blocks then bounce back and forth giving you unlimited lives.

Flower World will become unlocked when you have completed Mushroom World.

In the first Boss battle with Bowser if you get the cat suit and then run up a wall you will see a giant bridge. If you keep watching the bridge a giant 8-bit Luigi will appear swimming under it.

When you jump on top of a flag pole it will change from red to gold. If during a level you collected ALL the green stars there will be a green star above the flag pole.
