As is customary in all 2DSuper Mariogames,Super Mario Bros. Wonderstarts off at a lower difficulty, but it quickly increases it by moving on to more complex platforming sequences and by throwing more difficult enemies at the player at a higher number.
While players won’t have to worry about their number of lives at the start ofSuper Mario Bros. Wonder, this changes rather quickly, and it’s always useful to know some tricks that they can take advantage of in order to prevent them from seeing the Game Over screen. This guide will show fans how they can get more lives inSuper Mario Bros. Wonderwithout resorting to cheats.
How to Increase the Number of Lives
Even thoughSuper Mario Bros. Wonderrevamped several aspects of the typical 2D Mario formula, there are some classic elements that still remain the same.Players can increase their number of lives inSuper Mario Bros. Wonderby collecting 100 coins or gathering 1-Up Mushrooms.
How to Farm 1-Up Mushrooms
There are several courses inSuper Mario Bros. Wonderthat contain 1-Up Mushrooms. However, this item tends to hide quite well. On top of this, replaying a level only to grab a single mushroom might not be worth it. Thankfully, there is a way to easily get dozens of 1-Up Mushrooms.
EachSuper Mario Bros. WonderWorld has a Poplin Shop, and even though the selection of goods differs slightly, there are some items that are always available in each shop, one of which is the 1-Up Mushroom. Players can obtain as many 1-Up Mushrooms as they’d like in Poplin’s Shop, as long as they have collected enough Flower Coins.
Players can either buy a single 1-Up Mushroom for 5 Flower Coins or they can purchase the 1-Up Mushroom set, which includes five 1-Up Mushrooms, for only 20 Flower Coins. Since it’s easy tofarm Flower Coins inSuper Mario Bros. Wonder, this is the most reliable way to stock up on lives.
Once gamers finishSuper Mario Bros. Wonder, they’ll also be able to purchase the 1-Up Mushroom Fill-Up set which grants 99 1-Up Mushrooms for only 300 Flower Coins.
How to Farm Coins
The sole purpose of the gold coin is to increase the number of lives the player has. Although theCoin Magnet boost badgeis great for attracting nearby coins,players who want to farm coins to get more lives inSuper Mario Bros. Wondershould activate the Coin Reward boost badge before attempting to complete a level.
Gamers can acquire the Coin Reward boost badge by visiting the Poplin Shop in Pipe-Rock Plateau.
The Coin Reward boost badge makes it so thatwhenever the player KOs an enemy, they’ll receive a total of three coins instead of one. It may not seem like much, but it makes a significant difference after a few eliminations, especially if the player is trying a course with tons of enemies.
Rolla Koopa Derbyis a great level for those looking to farm some coins. It has tons of hidden coins and several enemies with shells; these enemies are usually all lined up, allowing players to effortlessly gather coins by taking down an entire section of them. If they manage to get eight eliminations in a row, they’ll even get an extra life.
