Super Mario 3D World Cheats

Infinite Lives Trick

Location: “World 1-2: Koopa Troopa Cave”

The infinite 1UPS trick is back like it is in every Mario game!

First, take the bottom underground path in World 1-2: Koopa Troopa Cave.
Second, grab a Koopa Troopa’s shell and put it down between two walls of the small path into the back of the cave.
That way you kick its side by jumping on the top-side of the shell — first it’ll hit you and make you small but you need that to happen — so the shell will then keep bouncing back and forth between the two walls. While that’s happening, for as long as you’re also continuously jumping on the shell (after a while it’s automatic) it’ll first start giving you points, which then turn into infinite lives. You can get the maximum of 1,110 lives in a few minutes, wow!

How To Unlock The Luigi Bros. 2D Game
