Turns out that you can pull off a similar feat in its super-hard sequel, too.</p> <p>At the very beginning of the game you see this thing.</p> <div align="center"><img src="http://protipoftheday.com/sites/default/files/smll_lives1.png" /></div> <p>Which houses a hidden mushroom. Hit it from underneath to pop it out of there.</p> <div align="center"><img src="http://protipoftheday.com/sites/default/files/smll_lives2.png" /></div> <p>Then get the koopa over on the right-most block and strategically break the rest like so:</p> <div align="center"><img src="http://protipoftheday.com/sites/default/files/smll_lives3.png" /></div> <p>Then, wait until the koopa is about halfway off its platform and jump straight down on it. Done right, you'll start bouncing.</p> <div align="center"><img src="http://protipoftheday.com/sites/default/files/smll_lives4.png" /></div> <p>And just like before, you'll eventually start racking up the 1ups!</p> <div align="center"><img src="http://protipoftheday.com/sites/default/files/smll_lives5.png" /></div> <p>And the best part is that on the Super NES version, the counter actually stops correctly at 127 lives, so there's no danger of going over and losing them all.</p> <p>And you're going to need every one of those lives, trust me.</p> NES pro tip SNES super mario all-stars super mario bros. 2 Mon, 11 May 2009 12:35:19 +0000 Will 170 at http://protipoftheday.com
