For example: get Yoshi from the schnozz and use his licky tongue to reach a platform with 10 fruit on it, eat them all to earn a 1-Up.

Search Starship Mario! As the game goes on more and more 1-Ups will be freely available on your personal planetoid. Seek out Star Bits: every 100 you collect gives an extra 1-Up.

Here are some quick and generally jammy ways to easily increase how many times you can fall off things before the great big GAME OVER. Regardless of how many you get in a play session, when you return to the game you'll always start off with a mere handful of 1-Ups. When you finish the game (don't worry, there's still plenty to do afterwards) you'll unlock Luigi for play in any level, just enter the door marked with an 'L' on Starship Mario (near the helm) to play as Luigi for a bit. Talking to him gives you the option of playing through the level with him - if you finish, something good will happen! You might unlock a time trial where you can take on a ghost rival, or perhaps Luigi might appear in a level subtly pointing the way to some goodies and secrets! Pay attention when you see him loitering with intent, even if he's snoozing. Should you need Star Bits, make a bee-line for Melty Monster Galaxy in World 6 and select the level called 'A Stroll Down Rolling Lane' you'll have tons in no time.įairly soon you'll come across Luigi and from that point on you may spy him hanging around at the start of some levels. Depositing 1000 Star Bits gets him spectacles, 2000 acquires a rather fetching spear and shield, 4000 will have him carrying a pickaxe, 6000 sees him donning scuba gear and 8000 will get a miner's flashlight for his giant head. Furthermore, as your balance grows your friendly local Banktoad will change outfit.
