Super Mario World 2 Hints

I did this myself and actually got 999 lives.To get 999 lives go to Star World and go to the one where there is the Yellow Yoshi and Lakitu(guy on the cloud).DO NOT get the Yoshi.After Lakitu throws like 6 spike guys press the button. Dont get them but slowly they'll go to the ekit pole thing.When about 5 of the coins get on the screen when ur out the pole go through.You'll get 15 lives or i think 20.Do this repeatedly and u will get 999 lives like me!

In the first level of Forest of Illusions, get through the level until you reach the halfway point. Then get a Super Star from the box of random iteams. Then, go through all of the Red Koopas while you have the Super Star's power. If you get through ALL of the Red Koopas before the Super Star's power wears off, you will get a maximum amount of 11 lives! Keep repeating this process until you have maxed out your lives!
