GLITCHES

Slow babies
When going down a large amount of stairs, jump, and have the babies jump off at the peak of your jump. Do this while still moving. The game should slow down when the babies are coming down. If done correctly it should take awhile for them to come down. Note: This can only be done when climbing to the observatory in Princess Peach's Castle (past or present), or in the Past Castle when you are climbing up the staircases in the area shaped like Princess Shroob.

Hammer through wall
Play the level where you must fight Super Hammer Bros 3.0. When you are by the tree where the area splits in two, go to the right side then press R and Y. If done correctly, your hammer will be moving through the wall as you walk. Note: This only happens in areas with fences on the bottom of the screen.

Unlimited money

To get unlimited coins, use the following trick. After you beat Mrs.Thwomp, go to the volcano. Go to the room on the right. Throw the babies. Spin the babies and collect the coins. After the babies hit the bottom, have Mario and Luigi go to the beginning room and get the babies through the pipe. Return to the room and repeat. This is helpful when you want to buy out all the badges and clothing because you can always return there.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Defeating Bowser and Baby Bowser

Having lots of Ice Flowers is recommended. Once Baby Bowser uses his adult form as some sort of hockey item, use your hammer to smash it back to him, because he will continue to heal his adult form. If you succeed, Baby Bowser will miss hitting the adult form and he will be on his own for a small amount of time. Also get Red Peppers to increase your attack, and perhaps Blue Peppers to increase your speed.

Give the Red Peppers to the adult Mario and Luigi and keep using Ice Flowers. An alternative is the Green Shell or the Pocket Chomp. If used correctly, there should be a signal that his defense has lowered. Continue using Ice Flowers (or if you are out, a Pocket Chomp or Cannon). You might not defeat him the first time. When he gets back in his adult form, continue damaging him, then use the hammers again and continue the process. Once Baby Bowser is defeated, just repeat the same process with adult Bowser.
