 * The game has a big speed-running community.

Fundamental Flaws

 * At the end of 1-2, break a couple of brick blocks on the right, after doing that, stand in your left and crouch jump tot eh right, you will be moved in the brick blocks and you will be in the secret zone without the numbers popping up, pick the first pipe and you will get "-1", however walking all the way to the opposite side and it will load up.
 * Download (666).png any castle level at the end, have a the fire flower suit on, when your standing on the end of the bridge bowser is on, quickly touch the axe while bowser is hitting you, after the castles done you get to see a smaller fire mario, but when you throw a fire ball, you see a bigger fire mario a split second.
 * This is used in speedrunning but when theirs a level where a bullet bill is going to the flag, time your jump stomping on the bill whilst hitting the flag, if successful the animation where the flag piece goes down is hautled, resulting in time saved.
 * When a koopa is about to fall down a hole, time your jump on the koopa before falling and he gets hit just before he touches the hole, after that the koopa will walk to the flag and you have to walk with it, at the end of the stage, jump on the koopa submerged int eh floor and you have jumped over the flag, however it's not that interesting since it's just a plain field, but running even more you find mushroom assists, ground and water assist just floating there.
