and Battle:

Get the Metal Cap and run as fast as you can and try to get to the end of the rope bridge. This is harder than the first one.

From the start of the level, cross the first set of moving platforms and climb the blue-white slanted platform. (Figure out how!)

 

You know how there's a pit in Bowser 1?  You can't get past the pit, but you can wall kick off of the force field.  Can you do it 3 times?  What about 5?  Okay, how about 12?  I have done 15, myself.  It's not at all difficult to do.

Chris says:  These are not really tricks, but they are fun to do. In any battle, run as far away from Bowser as you can so that the camera pulls away. Freeze it there with the r-button. This is the most fun in the second world where the platform bobs around. Also, when you grab Bowser by the tail and swing him around, get close up with the Mario cam. It looks like the world is spinning around Mario.

 

Although I have not done this trick myself, I know that it can be done. If you get 1,000 coins on any Bowser level, it sets your lives to M25. Now anytime you lose a life you gain one and every time you gain a life you lose one. If it gets down to M-0 lives, it will go back to whatever it was before.

I have not tried this trick, but I have heard of it before, and I believe it may only work on the Japanese version of the game.

Visitor says, "This is pretty easy (for me). Go to the second Bowser level and go to the part when you fight him. When he jumps and tilts the platform jump right before it comes back to the normal position. If you do it right, Mario jumps super-super high."  (I'm pretty sure I've done this before.)
