In no particular order, here are ten tips to help you get the most from your New Super Mario Bros. Nintendo DS game. Three of 'em will get you some fireworks (Happy 4th!).
Play as Luigi:
Hold down the "L" and "R" buttons at the "Select a file" screen when you are loading your game or creating a new game.
Get 5 "1-ups" on level one:
If you are running low on lives in later levels, go back to World 1-1. When you get the mega-mushroom 1/3 through the level, hold down the Y button and race through the level (don't worry, you're big enough to run over the holes!), destroying as many things (bricks and pipes) as possible all the way to the flag pole. Up to five 1-ups will drop down from the Mega-Meter on the top of the screen.
Summon the Red Toad House:
Jump on the ending level flag pole with "11", "22" or "33" as the last 2 digits on the countdown timer and the get the Red Toad House, where you can get a random power-up. This appears at the starting point of a world (easiest to do on World 1).
Summon the Green Toad House:
Jump on the ending level flag pole with "44", "55" or "66" as the last 2 digits on the countdown timer and get the Green Toad House, a great place to stock up on 1-ups if you are lucky at the random card game. This appears at the starting point of a world (easiest to do on World 1).
Summon the Orange Toad House:
Jump on the ending level flag pole with "77", "88" or "99" as the last 2 digits on the countdown timer and the Orange Toad House will appear, giving you a Mega Mushroom power-up. This appears at the starting point of a world (easiest to do on World 1).
Visit Mushroom Houses Anytime:
Complete every stage in the game to come and go into a mushroom house anytime.
Unlock World 4:
Defeat World 2's Boss as mini-mario using the "ground pound" attack (takes 3 hits) to take the alternate route to World 4.
Unlock World 7:
Defeat World 5's Boss as mini-mario to get the route to World 7.
Play "Challenge Mode":
Hit PAUSE while on the World Map and press the following button combination: L R L R X X Y Y. You will get a screen saying: 'Welcome to the secret challenge mode. Think you can reach the goal? If you get stuck, press START and choose Return to Map." This will put the game into a no-backtracking mode, challenging you to keep pushing forward on the level without having the option to turn around (left). An arrow indicator will appear on the lower touch screen, indicating the one-way level of gameplay. Don't worry, it won't stay when you save and re-start later!
Save anytime on the World Map:
Beat the end boss to have the option to save while on the World Map. Just hit the start button and the save option will be there.
