When in this form, press 0 (or@) to throw a boomerang.
You can only use one boomerang at a time. After you
throw a boomerang, you must wait for it to return or break
before you can throw the next one.

NOTE
Enemies that can withstand fireballs generally are immune to
boomerang attacks.
Ttlnooki!MiHib>
When Mario collects a Super Leaf, he
transforms into Tanooki Mario. In this
form, Mario can perform gravity-defying
flutter jumps and devastating tail whips!
Flutter-jumping slows Mario's descent to

Slatue)MiHiO)
When Mario collects a Statue Leaf,
he undergoes a special Tanooki trans-
formation. As long as he's wearing a
neckerchief, Tanooki Mario can perform a
groundpound to turn into Statue Mario.
In this form Mario can't move, but he's
immune to all damage. Each Statue Mario
transformation is temporary, but the next
one is only a ground pound away; as long
as you have a Statue Leaf, the Statue Mario form can be
used whenever you like.
Jump into air, then press CD (or [D) to become Statue
Mario. Hold the button to maintain the transformation
up to eight seconds.
I TIP
Statue Mario is best used to denect projectiles and moving
hazards. Although some enemies ignore Statue Mario, others will
rush in and wait for the transformation to wear off!
White Tanooki
If you lose five lives on a single level, you'll have the
opportunity to don the White Tanooki Suit. This suit
has all the abilities of a standard Tanooki Suit, but it
also makes Mario immune to damage. Keep in mind.
however, that this suit won't protect you from deadly
falls. If you lose ten lives on a single level, the P-Wing
becomes available. The P-Wing is a powerful item that
takes you straight to the end of a level. When these
items are available, you can collect them from the
Assist Blocks that appear at the start of the level (or
near the Checkpoint Flag, if you've made it that far).
Be warned that Assist Blocks aren't offered in Special
Worlds, nor do they appear in any levels you've
already cleared.
Using the Propeller Box, Mario can launch
himself to amazing heights and float
gently to the ground. This allows Mario
to explore areas that would otherwise be
impossible to reach. The Propeller Box acts
as a temporary suit that Mario can slip
right over his current outfit. When he suffers damage, the
Propeller Box is destroyed.
While in the air, press® (or@> to launch yourself upward
with a burst of speed. You must return to the ground
before you can use the ability again. After each launch,
hold ® (or@) to slow your descent. This ability can be used
anytime before you land. Each Propeller Box can only be
used while you're in the level--0nce you reach the Goal
Pole, Mario tosses it away.
NOTE
The Propeller Box is very useful, but it does limit the effects of
for certain power-ups. While active, the Propeller Box prevents you
from throwing fireballs and boomerangs; tail whips, however, can
still be used.
? Boxes look just like ? Blocks, but they
behave very differently. When Mario hits
one of these rare items, the ? Box breaks
free and encases Mario's upper body! Like
Propeller Boxes, ? Boxes act as temporary
suits. As Mario moves, the ? Block
generates coins. When he takes damage,
the ? Box is destroyed.
I TIP
If you reach the Goal Pole with an active Propeller Box or
? Box, you'll be rewarded with an extra life!

Super Mushroom
The Super Mushroom turns Small Mario
into Mario. You'll find a few of these in
predetermined locations, but they have
a real knack of showing up when Mario
is at his most vulnerable. When you're
playing as Small Mario, Blocks that would
otherwisecontainmore advanced power-upsusually
provide Super Mushrooms.
NOTE
Super Mushrooms don't override other power-ups. If you're
,lready carrying , spue power-up, you can collect , Super
Mushroom to earn 10 coins.
1-Up Mushroom
The 1-Up Mushroom is among the most
important power-ups you can find.
Instead of granting new abilities, a 1-Up
Mushroomprovidesyou with an extra
life. These valuable items are spread all
throughout the game, so make sure you
grab each one you find.
The Fire Flower turns Mario into Fire
Mario. This useful power-up is fairly rare,
so take full advantage when you're lucky
enough to find one.
This power-up grants Mario the
Boomerang Suit. You'll find Boomerang
Flowers throughout the game, and they're
always worth collecting.
Superstar
When collected, Super Stars make Mario
temporarily immune to all damage. While
under the Super Star's effect, Mario can
defeat enemies simply by running through
i
them. These rare power-ups cannot be
stored, so make sure you'reready to use one beforeyou
collect it.
Super leaf
When Mario collects a Super Leaf, he
becomes Tanooki Mario. The Super Leaf
is one of the game's most important
power-ups-fortunately,it's also one of
the most common.When you come across
a Tail Wheel, chances are there's a Super
Leaf in the area.
Statue Leaf
This power-up grants Mario an enhanced
Tanooki transformation, allowing him
to become Statue Marioat any time.
Once you reach the Special Worlds, the
Statue Leaf is a very common-and very
welcome-power-up.
Propeller Box
When you find a Propeller Box, it's fairly
likely you're going to need it. Since these
items can only be used within the level,
make sure you search each area for ledges
and objects high above the ground.
Coin
You'll find coins scattered throughout
every level. Whether they're hidden in
Blocks or out in the open, coins are the
most common pick-up you'll find. Each
time you collect 100 coins, you earn an
extra life.
NOTE
Mony levels contain large golden rings called coin rings. These
are typically used to mark suggested paths. Pm through a coin
ring lo collect five coins.
Star Medal
Star Medals are, hands down, the most
important pick-ups you'll come across.
Each level has three Star Medals, and you'll
need to collect all of them to earn the
maximum Star Rating. Locked levels can
only be accessed after you've collected the
required Star Medals. You'll have to do a lot of footwork to
track them all down, but your effort will be rewarded.
Red Coin
Red Coins appear after you pass through
a Red Ring. They vanish after a short time,
so you must move quickly if you hope to
collect them. If you manage to get them
all, you'll be rewarded with a power-up.
• Clock
Mario is always racing against the clock,
and + Clocks allow him to stay one step
ahead. Blue+ Clocks grant 10 additional
seconds, while green + Clocks provide a
whopping 100 seconds.
Block
Blocks are common objects in nearly every
level, but they serve a variety of purposes.
Some Blocks form platforms or ledges to
help you reach new areas, while other
Blocks form obstacles that slow your
progress through a level. Most Blocks can
be smashed, but occasionally you'll find one that contains a
pick-up or a Tail Wheel. You won't generally have enough
time to check every Block in a level, but small groups of
Blocks are usually worth a look.
?Block
? Blocks always contain an item of some
kind. Most ? Blocks contain coins, but
they're also the most common source of
power-ups. As a rule, you should never
pass by a ? Block without checking its
contents.
~ TIP
Not all Blocks can be mn! lnvi,ible Block, are only revealed
when hit from below, and they always contain an item of ,ome
kind. More often than not, you'll find lnvi,ible Block, by
accident, but ii never hurt, to keep an eye out for a circle of
coins or a ,uspiciou,ly placed Block.
RouletteBlock
A Roulette Block quickly cycles through
a number of power-ups. When you hit
a Roulette Block, it rewards you with its
currentcontents.
Note Block
Note Blocks put a little extra spring in
Mario's step. Note Blocks are usually
located below items and platforms that
can only be reached with a well-timed
bounce.
SuperNote Block
Super Note Blocks always lead to secret
areas, so never pass one by without
hopping on.
DirectionalBlock
Directional Blocks can be used to reach
objects and platforms that would be
otherwise inaccessible. When you hit a
Directional Block, it moves in the direction
indicated by its arrow. A single hit causes
the Directional Block to move a short
distance. Use additional hits to gradually move it into the
desired position.
!Block
Each time you hit a ! Block, a face block
II
pops out of it. Hit the ! Block until all of
its face blocks are in place to create a
temporary path. ! Blocks reset after a short
time, so it's important to move quickly.
WarpBox
When you touch a Warp Box, you're
whisked away to a predetermined
location. Although some Warp Boxes allow
you to move freely between areas, others
disappear once you use them. If you're not
sure where a Warp Box leads, take care of
any unfinished business before you enter it.
Baddie Box
When you approach a Baddie Box, an
enemy pops out of it. Baddie Boxes
contain an endless supply of willing foes,
so it's usually best to run right past them.
Rock
When Mario runs up to a Rock, he kicks it
into the air. When the Rock lands, it cracks
open and reveals a coin. If you manage to
kick a Rock into a pipe, you'll be rewarded
with a 1-Up Mushroom.
 PSwitch
Step on a P Switch to uncover secret coins,
reveal hidden trails, or move platforms
into place. Most P Switch effects are
temporary, so make sure you move quickly!
Red Ring
Before you pass through a Red Ring, make
sure you check for nearby enemies. After
you trigger the Red Ring, you have a short
time to collect the revealed red coins.
In some levels, Red Rings are your only
source for vital power-ups. If you find an
unusable Tail Wheel at the start of a level, check the path
ahead for a Red Ring.
NOTE
Each Red Ring olfers a predetermined power-up, but the reward
switchet to a 1-Up Mushroom if you're already using, suit or
transformation.
Step on a Flip Panel to create a temporary
path. Flip Panels reset after a short time, so
make sure you're not standing on the path
when they do.
Touch a Checkpoint Flag to mark your
progress through a level. If you lose a life
later in the level, you'll be returned to the
Checkpoint Flag. This is a real time-saver,
so make sure you have plenty of extra
lives on hand to be able to start from the
Checkpoint Flag if needed.
NOTE
When Small Mario triggers a Checkpoint Flag, it return, Mario
to his normal size.
Goal Pole
The Goal Pole signals the end of a level. To
i
claim victory, you must jump onto the Goal
Pole before time runs out. lf you manage
to jump to the very top of a Goal Pole,
you're rewarded with an extra life.
I TIP
Try to reach the top of every Goal Pole! This is an important step
in unlocking the game's ultimate challenge.
Binoculars
Binoculars can provide useful information
about the path ahead of you. Occasionally,
you'll find valuable items and alternate
routes that can't be seen from the main
path. Whenever you're looking through
Binoculars, keep an ear out for Toad. Toad
calls out if he's in the area, so he's fairly
easy to find. When you zoom in on Toad, he always rewards
you in some way. Toad is eager to give gifts, so you can
usually count on a power-up of some kind. Every so often,
however, Toad will reward you with a valuable Star Medal.
Pipes
Pipes offer a quick and easy way to move
between areas. Some pipes simply allow
you to proceed through the level, but many
of them lead to secret rooms. Every pipe
leads somewhere, so make sure to keep an
eye out for them.
Tail Wheel
When you spot a Tail Wheel, there's
probably a valuable item somewhere
above you. Tail-whip a Tail Wheel to raise
yourself up to a secret area. Of course, only
Tanooki Mario can do this, so you'll have to find a suitable
power-up.
Switchboard
When you find a Switchboard, hop on
to go for a ride. When you step onto
a Switchboard, it activates one of two
switches. Each switch moves the car in the corresponding
direction. The trip is rarely a smooth one, however. Always
be ready to reverse direction or jump to safety.
cannon
Some levels contain special cannons that
you can use to reach new areas. After
you climb into a cannon, use the reticle
to choose your trajectory. When you do,
keep in mind that the obvious target is not
always the best one. Before you fire off a cannon, always
check the area for valuable pick-ups and alternate routes.
 Gbombas1
••
Goombas are one of the most common
enemies you'll encounter. These grumpy
little creatures generally patrol small areas,
waddling toward Mario whenever they
spot him. To defeat a Goomba, simply hop
onto its head-one jump, and it's done.
If a Goomba has a Tanooki tail, a little more
caution is advised. Tail Goombas jump
toward you, and a midair collision can be
a painful experience. When it lands, the
Tanooki Goomba performs a tail whip. Jump
over the attack to safely land on its head.
When a Goomba has wings, it's known
as a Paragoomba. These enemies are just
as vulnerable to your jumps, but they're
generally a bit harder to reach. Paragoombas
don't usually react to Mario's presence, so it's
often easierto slip right past them.

appear in groups, circling platforms or
marching in formation. Jump on a
Biddybud to defeat it.
Winged Biddybuds, or Para-Biddybuds,
follow predetermined paths as they
patrol the skies. Like their earthbound
counterparts, Para-Biddybuds can be
defeated with a simple jump.
When you jump on a Koopa Troopa, it
tucks into its shell. Once this happens, you
can kick the shell into nearby enemies.
Position yourself so that the shell is directly
between you and your target, then run
straight ahead to launch a powerful
projectile along the ground.
These dangerousenemies may looksimilar
to Koopa Troopas, but their projectile
attacks make them much more formidable.
Hammer Bros can be identified by their
green outfits. When they spot you, they
attack by throwing hammers. Boomerang
Bros don blue outfits. As you can
probably guess, they attack by throwing
boomerangs. After two throws,a Bro
usually jumps to a new location before
resuming his attacks. To defeat a Bro, get
in closeand jump on his head.
When you'retraversingprecarious

extremely territorial, and they're always
preparedto deal with trespassers.Jump on

encountera varietyof Piranha Plants.The
colorof each plant indicatesits specific

get close, then they lunge forward and
snap their jaws. Inky Piranha Plants are
black with white spots. These enemies spit
out globs of ink that temporarily obscure
yourvision. Fire Piranha Plants,whichare
black with orange dots, begin spitting
fireballs as soon as they see you. All
three varietiesare vulnerableto your
jumps. As long as you remember to dodge
their attacks, they shouldn't give you
much trouble.

CAUTION
Green Shells plow right through mo,! enemies, but they ricochet
off of walls. When you kick one, make ,ure you don't find
yourself caught in its path!
 Cheep Cheeps are common enemies found
in underwater areas. These wide-eyed fish
are usually content to let you swim right
past them, but you'll take some damage if
you brush up against one. If you'd rather
not take your chances, use an underwater
ground pound to attack a Cheep Cheep from above.

enemy. These sneaky squids are more
aggressive than Cheep Cheeps, so it's
usually best to keep your distance. The
Blooper's erratic movements can make it
hard to dodge in tight spaces, so they'll
put your swimming skills to the test. To defeat one of these
enemies without the aid of a power-up, use an underwater
ground pound to attack them from above-just watch
out for the Blooper's charge! After a Blooper winds up to
attack, it swims upward with a sudden burst of speed.
Porcupuffers aren't aggressive, but their
large size often makes it difficult to swim
past them. The Porcupuffer's spikes protect
it from standard attacks, but a single
fireball is enough to take one out. If you
find yourself without a suitable power-up,
however, you'll have to rely on precision swimming.
Porcupuffers usually follow a predetermined path. As long
as you keep your distance, you should be able to pass right
by them.
Spike Eels are big, durable, and always
ready for a meal. These giant creatures are
spread throughout most underwater areas,
waitingin their dens for a tasty snack to
Thwomps are immune to all standard
attacks, so don't bother trying to harm
them. When you approach a sleeping
Thwomp, its eyes spring open and it slams
to the ground. As long as you stay near it,
the agitated enemy slams down at regular
intervals. Between each attack, you usually have just
enough time to dash through the impact zone.
These creatures are most commonly found
in Bowser's castles, but you'll encounter
them in a variety of other levels, too. On
rare occasions, you'll even find Thwomps
equipped with Tanooki tails. Tail Thwomps
are much more mobile than their wall-
sliding counterparts, but they use a similar slam attack.
Despite their size, Wallops are incredibly
nimble creatures. When you approach
one, it blocks your path by mirroring each
of your movements. Hop up to bait the
Wallop into doing the same, then slip
past it while it slams to the ground. Like
Thwomps, Wallops are immune to standard attacks, but
these enemies can often be used as mobileplatforms.
Drag lets may not be the fastest-moving
enemies, but their fireballs make them
fairly effective guards. When you
approach one of these creatures, it takes
a deep breath to build up an attack. Dash
in and jump on a Draglet's head to finish it
off quickly.
These enemies may seem fragile, but Dry

•
enemies appear out of thin air, conjure a
magical attack, then vanish from sight to
start the whole process over. If you can
reach one of these elusive enemies, you
can defeat it by jumping on its head. A
Magikoopa is most vulnerable just before it casts a spell, so
that's your best opportunity to attack. It's not always possible
to get in close, however. If a Magikoopa proves particularly
troublesome, it is usually best to simply move on.
Lava Bubbles are living
fireballs that can be found
in most of Bowser's castles.
These creatures can't be
destroyed, so it's best to move
past as quickly as possible.
Lava Bubbles aren't partic-
ularly hostile, but they do have a knack for springing into
your path when you least expect it.
Magmaarghs are large lava-dwelling
monsters. After a Magmaargh emerges,
it moves straight ahead, passing through
any obstacles in its path. These enemies
are immune to all attacks, but they're
fairly easy to avoid. Just wait for the
Magmaargh to passby, then continueon your way before
the next one emerges.
These sneaky little critters are
generally found in underground
areas. Monty Moles burrowout of
sight, only to spring up when you
approach. After they emerge, they
usually follow a predetermined path. Monty Moles almost
always appear in groups, but as long as you survive the
initial ambush, they aren't particularly difficult to handle.
Step aside to let a Monty Mole walk right past you, or jump
on its head to defeat it.
Morty Moles can be found in underground
areas, but they venture up to the surface on
occasion. They don't react to your presence,
but these oversized enemies can still be
a handful. You must jump on a Morty
Mole two times to defeat it. As they tend
to appear in narrow passages, this may not always be an
option. When you don't have enough space to jump, look
for a power-up, or find a route that takes you around them@
Rocky Wrenches are commonly found on
airships, but you'll have to deal with them
in a variety of levels. These crafty moles
show themselves just long enough to
throw a wrench at you before dropping
back out of sight. To defeat a Rocky
Wrench, dodge its attack and jump on its head.
BulletJBillSJ
These fast-moving enemies mean business!
Once fired, Bullet Bills travel in a straight
line, ready to take out anyone unfortunate
enough to be in their path. You can jump
on a Bullet Bill to defeat it, but it is usually
best to simply stay out of its way.
Banzai Bills are much larger than Bullet
Bills, but they're fairly similar in most
respects. Like Bullet Bills, Banzai Bills are
vulnerable to your jumps. Of course, it's
much more difficult to get above these
massive enemies.
Every so often you'll spot a Tail Bullet Bill.
This enemy performs tail whips as it travels
along its path, so use caution if you try to
slip past one.
Bob-ombs may be small, but they pack
quite a punch. When left alone, a Bob-omb
wanders aimlessly around a small area. If
you get too close, however, the Bob-omb
scrambles toward you as it prepares to
detonate. Kick flashing Bob-ombs away
from you, or use a projectile to cause an instant explosion.
When you stumble upon a group of these enemies, it's
generally best to retreat until they explode.
Fuzzies are usually found on tightropes,
but these odd little guys often travel along
special tracks. Fuzzies rarely work alone. If
you find one, chances are there are more
in the area. These critters are immune to
your attacks, so you'll generally have to
find a way around them.

Prongos can deflect fireballs and boomerangs, but the
Tanooki Suit's tail whip is capable of knocking them off
their feet. You still have to finish them off with a jump, but
it certainly speeds up the process.

Boos are about as sneaky as it gets. These
devious little ghosts only approach while
your back is turned. When you face a
Boo, it covers its eyes, hoping you won't
notice it. Boos are immune to all standard
attacks, so unless you find a Super Star
nearby, you don't have much choice but to play along.
More common power-ups won't defeat these enemies, but
they can allow you to escape dangerous situations. When
you hit a Boo with a fi reball, boomerang, or tail whip, it
temporarily disappears.
Tail Boos are a little more aggressive than
standard Boos. When your back is turned
to one of these enemies, they move in
with a series of tail whips.
Big Boos behave exactly like the smaller
versions, but these massive enemies are
completely immune to projectiles and tail
whips.
e~
Peepa aren't aggressive, but their eerie
gaze can be a little unnerving. These
grinning ghosts usually appear in large
groups, twirling gracefully as they circle
the area. Like Boos, Peepa temporarily
vanish when you hit them with a fireball,
boomerang, or tail whip.

out for relocated platforms, power-ups, and Star Medals.
As you progress through the Special Worlds, Star Medals become much more
important . Unlock requirements can jump by as much as 40 Star Medals between
