  3. Make Mushroom Houses appear

    If you see a level where a Toad is trapped go into the level and save him. The type of Mushroom House that appears will depend on the last digit of the time counter.

    Get Toad to the end of the level and hit flag when the last digit of the time ends in 0, 1, 2 or 3.Green Mushroom House
    Get Toad to the end of the level and hit flag when the last digit of the time ends in 4, 5 or 6Red Mushroom House
    Get Toad to the end of the level and hit flag when the last digit of the time ends in 7, 8 or 9Gold Mushroom House
  4. Make mushroom houses appear in multiplayer

    To get a mushroom house to appear in multiplayer, you simply need to clear the level when the time has the same 2 end digits next to each other when you touch the flag pole. Examples: 544, 322, 411. Depending on the two end digits, you will make different mushroom houses appear at the start point, as you would in single player when you save a Toad, only the digits are mostly red mushroom houses. Two zeros at the end will get you nothing. When you do this, you hear the original Super Mario Bros. level clear music and see a number of fireworks depending on what the last 2 digits are. 1 firework for 11, 2 for 22, and so on.

    Touch the flagpole with last 2 time digits as 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, or 88Red Mushroom House

    When you beat the first level of the game, as well as beat a level while rescuing a captured toadstool (1-player only) the old 8-bit end level fanfare will play from the first Super Mario Bros.

Secrets

    Every dancing flower will give you one coin if you Spin Jump (flick Wiimote upwards) from a Neutral position.
  2. Unlimited Mushroom Houses

    Get five stars on your save file by beating the game, collecting all the star coins in worlds 1-8, all the star coins in world 9, finding all the exits from a level and using every mushroom house and cannon on the map and you'll get a message saying everything has been cleared. Mushroom Houses will never go away, letting you max out your items.
