Go down the slide inside the house without going down the secret passage. Once you get to the bottom, wall kick up using [the two walls closest to each other]. Keep going up until you get to the ledge with the 1-UP that you [normally] get to via the secret passage.

I did this a long time ago, before I found the secret passage.  I originally thought that this was how you're supposed to get up there.

It is possible to wall kick between the ice pillar that holds up the outdoor slide and the mountain, and you can make it all the way up to the slide!

Here's an overhead view:

Here's a view from the front:

Start here:

Wall kick back and forth:

You made it:

"Copy-Cat Penguins" 

If you have Mario do his belly-flop (B when running), the baby penguins will copy you! The longer you slide, the further they will go. Also, if you slide into the penguin's mother, you will slide in place (sometimes) and won't stop until you jump out of it! Tweak the camera angle a bit and you can get a good shot of the penguins slide. A fun thing to do with this trick is to take both of the baby penguins to the mother, face them towards the edge of the mountain, and slide! If you slide long enough, the babies will slide off the edge of the mountain!

It is also possible to throw the baby penguins off the world or into a cannon.
 

When you see a row of coins leading into the side of the slide, go straight, and you will find a secret tunnel:

There is a 1-UP box here:
 

Note: If you use this trick in the Big Penguin Race, you won't get the star because the penguin will disqualify you for cheating.

First, go down the slide. Then, after you get out, get on the lift. When you get about halfway across, do a long jump.  You should land on the lower section of the other side!

To get a shortcut for "Wall kicks will work", go down to the snowman's head and look for an enemy with a tiny helicopter on its head.  Jump on him and helicopter spin off the edge.  Go inwards and you should land on a ledge going around to the star. 8*)  

Play the "???" star (the one where you take the baby to its mother). Give the baby to its mother. Now take the baby away from the mother! Now give it back!

Jump from the first tree you see to the other tree and back.

It is possible to jump across the broken bridge at the top of the mountain to get the red coin star.

Play "Slip Slidin' Away", and try to make it up the slide from the bottom!

Slip by the right hand side (Mario's left) of the huge penguin (after 120 stars) without him talking to you (then you should slide without racing the huge penguin).
