Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Toad are back to rescue Princess Peach once more from the clutches of the Koopa clan. However, instead of going it alone one at a time, all four can now join in thanks to the addition of drop-in/drop-out multiplayer, allowing up to four people to play through the game simultaneously. Good thing too, as this may very well one of the most difficult Mario games yet. But even with the extra help, finding all of the Star Coins and secrets scattered throughout each level of the Mushroom Kingdom is quite a challenge, which is where we come in. Here's what you'll find in GameSpot's New Super Mario Bros.

Wii Game Guide:. We uncover every Star Coin and secret this game has to offer. Get a quick list of the alternate exits and routes hidden in some levels. Discover the Mushroom Kingdom's many secrets. World 1-1 Coin 1 (after checkpoint) Just after the checkpoint, you'll find the first coin hovering above a trio of item boxes. To grab it, grab the Propeller Suit from the item box below (or the one just beyond) and use it to spin into the coin. If playing multiplayer, you can also jump off a teammate's head.

Coin 2 (before checkpoint) When you reach the first controlled tilt-platform, you'll spot a pipe in the top-right. Reach it by tilting the right side of the platform up and head inside. There, an item block reveals a 'P' switch, which turns the coins into platforms and visa-versa. To reach it, hit a couple of invisible of invisible blocks to its left, and try not to grab the coins while leaping onto them. As soon as you hit the 'P-Switch', use the newly formed bricks to reach the top of the room, where you'll find your coin.

Alternate Route This level contains an alternate route that leads to the World-5 Cannon on the world map. To find it, leap from Yoshi just above the ceiling with the hidden tunnel and dash along the top to the right to find the warp pipe. World 1-4 Coin 1 (after checkpoint) Just after the checkpoint, you'll find a coin just above the water's surface, guarded by a Cheep Cheep. Carefully skim the surface of the water to avoid being blown away by the pipe and either freeze or leap over the Cheep Cheep as he swims toward you to reach it. Alternate Route This level contains an alternate exit that leads to a cannon on the world map, which can blast you to World 5.

Here's how to find it: Near the end of the level is a rep pipe high above that can warp you to the hidden flag pole, but it requires both the use of a Propeller Suit as well as the P-Switch a little ways before. Upon reaching the P-Switch, wait nearby for a few moments until the Pink-block on the track moves further up the track. Once it has, hit the switch, then make a mad dash toward the pipe by leaping from the pink-block to a series of newly formed blocks, just below the pipe-propeller from them (before they revert to coins!) into the pipe above to find the alternate exit. World 2: Mid Castle Coin 1 (before checkpoint) You'll find the first coin on the left side of a split shaft, near the top of the first room. After climbing up the right side, grab hold of the gate as it moves left and jump from it to the coin. Coin 3 The final Star Coin is located inside the level's alternate exit. You'll find the a secret door inside the room with the rope running along the ceiling.

Once on the rope, follow it so you're just above the left-most position of the first moving platform (that is, where it's positioned when it's moved all the way left). Now wait for it to move away and drop off the rope-don't worry! You'll hand in a hidden area below, containing a door.

Once through, you'll find yourself in shaft with a floor that begins to lower slowly, then will drop all of a sudden. After that first sudden drop, look for the coin in a secret alcove along the right wall. Alternate Route This Ghost House contains a secret exit that leads to a cannon on the world map, which will blast you to World 6. Here's how to find it: When you reach the room with the rope running along the ceiling, follow the rope so you're just above the left-most position of the first moving platform (that is, where it's positioned when it's moved all the way left). Now wait for it to move away and drop off the rope-don't worry! You'll hand in a hidden area below, containing a door.

Now just follow the rest of the level to the secret flag pole. Coin 2 (after checkpoint) The second coin is also the seemingly trickiest to get-you'll find it at the top of the tall elevator shaft. So here's the deal: it's blocked in by some bricks, which can only be destroyed by the rolling balls that'll join you on your ride. However, during the ride you'll encounter two Pow blocks, which can and will destroy the spiked balls if they're activated, whether you throw it or the spiked-balls roll into it.

As such, you need to make sure those Pow blocks don't go off when the spiked balls are rolling around. For the first one, just activate before the balls appear. You'll have to pick up and carry the second one though, being careful not to throw it until after the balls have rolled through the bricks at the top, creating a path you can use to reach the coin.

Alternate Route There's a hidden route inside the ghost house that, when taken, allows access to the cannon on the world map that'll blast you to World 8. So here's how you find it: Inside the Ghost House's first room, drop down the first shaft, jump the second, climb the stairs and jump the third. Drop down the shaft at the otherwise dead-end, then drop down the gap just beyond to find a door. Ignore the door and head left through a fake wall to find a second door. Head on through-this will eventually lead to the alternate exit, granting access to the cannon.

Coin 3 Finding the final Star Coin is a multi-step process. First, access the Ghost Houses's hidden route by climbing up the first room, just past the first fake door. You should see a strange wall on the left with a crack in it (just below one of the boxing enemies). Lure the boxing enemy to that wall, which he'll punch his way through, creating an entranceway for you-continue through the door inside.

Climb up the subsequent room to the door in the top-left corner to wind up back outside. Don't head to the flag pole yet, instead head through the ground-floor door, where you'll find the final Star Coin. It can be reached by triggering the nearby P-Switch. Alternate Route (after checkpoint) This level contains a secret route that will take you right to 7-5, skipping 7-4.

Here's how to find it: Inside the first room, climb up just past the first fake door. You should see a strange wall on the left with a crack in it (just below one of the boxing enemies). Lure the boxing enemy to that wall, which he'll punch his way through, creating an entranceway for you-continue through the door inside. Now proceed through the rest of the level to find the secret flag pole.

Coin 3 (after checkpoint) This final coin is also the biggest pain to get. It's located on the far left, just before the boss's door. However, it's blocked by some bricks that can only be destroyed with a bob-omb. The easiest way to deal with it is to simply grab a bomb (after jumping on it to light the fuse) and carrying it to the wall and simply hold onto it while it detonates. Sure, it'll cost you a hit, but it guarantees you'll destroy the wall, instead of trying to kick a bomb into it, which is simply an exercise in frustration (take it from us!).

Alternate Route (after checkpoint) This level contains a secret route that will enable you to not only bypass the castle's boss, but grants access to a special path on the world map leading to World 7-6, then into the world's final castle (taking you right to its boss, skipping most of the level!). You'll find the entrance in the second room, where the checkpoint's located. Ride the elevator there up past the first item box, then start looking for a hidden alcove in the right wall, between one of the extending platforms and below a pair of cannons. It will warp you to an area containing a secret flag pole. Alternate Entrance-Shortcut! If you took the secret route from the mid-castle, you'll find a beanstalk on the world map that leads right into the final castle's tower.

This will start you just before the boss store, skipping almost the entire level-sweet! Coin 1 (before checkpoint) You'll find the first Star Coin behind some bricks above, early in the level. You'll have to be at least Super Mario in order to break through the bricks. Once you've created an opening, you can either bounce off the Dry Bones below to reach the coin, or wall-jump off the remaining bricks. Alternate Route Shortly after a pair of yellow and red pipes, you'll notice two platforms blocking access to a gap below.

To get in, head right to find a secret tunnel inside the first wall on the left, leading to a warp pipe. After warping, head right across the rolling floor to a pipe on the far side, which leads to the alternate flag pole, granting access to world 8-7. World 8-3 Coin 1 (before checkpoint) The first Star Coin is just below the second suspended platform. Wait for a gap in the lava flow before riding it down to it. World 8-7 Coin 1 (before checkpoint) While riding the second bone-coaster, wait a moment before jumping to grab this coin as the coaster dips into the lava. Coin 2 (after checkpoint) When riding the first coaster after the checkpoint, get ready to grab the Star Coin during the second jump. Coin 3 (after checkpoint) Shortly after catching a ride on the second coaster after the checkpoint, another will appear on a track over head.

Don't jump to it yet! Instead, wait here to run right into the final Star Coin, then jump to it!

World 8: Mid Castle Coin 1 (before checkpoint) Grab this Star Coin as the fire stick spins away. World 9-1 Coin 1 To reach the first Star Coin, leap from the yellow platform to the trio of Para-Troopas when they're at their maximum height. However, if you have a Propeller Suit to spare, that's actually far easier. Coin 2 Bounce off the Para-Troopas from one of the nearby blocks to either side as they turn upward to reach the second Star Coin.

Though again, it's easiest to reach with the Propeller Suit Coin 3 Warp through the pipe with the level's third fire-spitting Piranha Plant, then bounce off the Para-Troopa to reach it. World 9-2 Coin 1 Ride this platform down to the first coin. Coin 2 Stand on the platform until it drops just low enough allowing access to the pipe, where you'll find the second Star Coin. If an enemy drops onto the platform and sinks it below the pipe, simply venture off screen a short distance then come back to find it has returned. Coin 3 The final Star Coin is blocked off by two walls of bricks. You'll have to kick the nearby Koopa Troopas into each wall when the platforms lower, creating a path to the coin.

World 9-3 Coin 1 Look for a warp pipe in the gap just past the second arrow sign. It leads to a large room with the Star Coin below, but it's blocked off by several bricks walls.

Hit the P-Switch near the top, turning the bricks into coins, then rush to the coin! The fastest route is to head right (jumping the first gap), then keep heading right to the bottom corner, before heading left to the coin. Coin 2 Another warp pipe can be found in the clouds above, just past the first one (and just before that one's exit pipe). Two coins below mark its location-bounce off the Bullet Bill to reach it. After warping, hit the P-Switch, then run like the dickens across the newly-formed platforms to reach the far coin. Coin 3 The final coin can be found in the section with the Banzai Bills (the big ones), just past the fifth platform-above this set of four coins. Do yourself a favor and grab a Propeller Hat before attempting this coin, as it'll make your life much easier.

Barring that, the best course of action is to bounce off a Banzai Bill from the second platform past the coin (the one that rises) after it's passed by on the left-this is really the only way to ensure the Bill's high enough to enable you to reach the coin. World 9-4 Coin 1 You'll find the first coin just past the POW block-wall-jump off the blue pipe when it lowers to reach it. Coin 2 To grab this second Star Coin, toss a bob-omb (either stunned or frozen) into the coin while running as the platform sinks. Coin 3 You'll find three pipes at the end of the level's first section: The green one sandwiched between the others leads to the final Star Coin.

To enter it, you'll have to freeze the Piranha Plant popping out of the red one below, allowing you to use it as a platform to enter the red one. World 9-5 Coin 1 Run down the slope when there's a gap between the penguins to grab the coin. Worst case scenario, you may take a hit, but as long as you're at least Super Mario, you'll still be able to grab the coin. Coin 2 This coin seems tricky, but you can actually wall-jump right up to it! But first, don't hit the?-Switch on the right until you've grabbed it, otherwise you'll have to avoid penguins too! At any rate, stand directly below the ledge containing the coin, then jump straight up and wall-jump off the left wall-as you begin to fall back down after the wall-jump, hold right to land on the small ice block, from which you can then leap to the coin! Note: Don't run before making the wall-jump, otherwise it'll launch you at a weird angle making it impossible to land on the ice block.

Coin 3 To grab the final coin in the small section on the right, you'll have to freeze the Fuzzy on the track just below then hop from him to the coin. You can freeze him easily by riding the track on the left around, spamming ice balls-once frozen, you'll have just enough time to loop around the track once more, jump to him, then to the coin. World 9-6 Coin 1 Leap from the platform on the low circular track (which dips into the lava) into the hidden alcove to the right for the first Star Coin. Coin 2 Wait for the lava spouts to subside before wall-jumping for this coin. Coin 3 Save yourself the trouble and visit this level with a propeller hat, allowing you to easily reach this final Star Coin. Barring that, you can also try hopping from the small platform (after the lava geyser recedes) and bopping from the flying fire-spitting guy onto the coin, but we don't recommend it.

Super Mario Mushroom House Cheats

World 9-7 Coin 1 Simply hop up to this coin before the ice platform just below is melted away! Coin 2 It's best to let the fire-spitting Piranha Plants below do the work here for you to grab the coin beneath the frozen walkway. We suggest standing on the section of walkway directly above the pipe, just left of the Star Coin.

Wait here for the Piranha Plant, right of the coin, to melt the walkway just enough so that you can drop to the platform beneath the coin, allowing you to collect it. Now you must hurry up and get out of there and run across the remainder of the walkway before the other Piranhas melt it away! Coin 3 The final Star Coin can be found between the two fire bros at the end of the leveland boy is it a doozy. There are a few ways to grab this coin. The absolute easiest way is to play with multiple people-once you reach it, have a fire bro spit a fireball across the icy blocks above the coin, then have one of the other plays drop onto it and bubble-up as soon as they grab it.

If you're playing by yourself, you can try wall-jumping up the remainder of the ice shaft after grabbing it, but that can be very difficult. Here's a better method: The absolute easiest way (if you're playing by yourself) is to get it is to equip both a Propeller Suit and a Star from the world map (also, be sure to save at this point so that if you fail, you can simply return to the title screen then reload the save file to try again, without having to re-acquire the items), then hightail it as fast as you can through the piranha plants while you're invincible.

If you time your jumps right, you should be able to get to the long ice-platform just before becoming vulnerable. Now run along it and duck at the last minute to slide underneath the series of five piranha plants in the pipes above. Immediatly after, take to the sky using your propeller suit and drop onto the first fire bro from above. Do the same for the second, but only after he's spit at least one fire ball on the ice above the coin, creating a hole you can drop into. Once both fire bros are out of the picture, drop to the coin and Propeller Suit out of there! World 9-8 Coin 1 Propeller into the first coin from the boxes below. Coin 2 The second Star Coin is trailing a train of fuzzies-either propeller or bounce into it.

Coin 3 Wait on the boxes above until the huge Banzai Bill blows through the structure below, allowing you to drop onto the final Star Coin. Hidden Routes.

World 3: Ghost House This Ghost House contains a secret exit that leads to a cannon on the world map, which will blast you to World 6. Here's how to find it: When you reach the room with the rope running along the ceiling, follow the rope so you're just above the left-most position of the first moving platform (that is, where it's positioned when it's moved all the way left).

Now wait for it to move away and drop off the rope-don't worry! You'll hand in a hidden area below, containing a door. Now just follow the rest of the level to the secret flag pole. World 5: Ghost House There's a hidden route inside the ghost house that, when taken, allows access to the cannon on the world map that'll blast you to World 8. So here's how you find it: Inside the Ghost House's first room, drop down the first shaft, jump the second, climb the stairs and jump the third. Drop down the shaft at the otherwise dead-end, then drop down the gap just beyond to find a door.

Ignore the door and head left through a fake wall to find a second door. Head on through-this will eventually lead to the alternate exit, granting access to the cannon. Secrets More Powerful Butt-Stomp When playing with friends, if two or more of you perform a butt-stomp simultaneously, you'll notice a shockwave radiate out of each of you. This powerful butt-stomp can stun nearby enemies. Extra Coins Try performing a spin-attack by the flowers in the background-a coin may just pop out!

Hidden Treasure The trail of Blue Coins that appear after hitting some P-Switches lead directly to a hidden item box-move quick to follow the trail before it disappears! You'll often find that Mario and sometimes just can't jump quite high enough to reach certain treasures. Thankfully, there are several ways to increase the height of their jumps. If you're playing multi-player, try jumping off a teammate's head while they're jumping for additional height.

Furthermore, if you're riding Yoshi, try dismounting at the peak of Yoshi's jump (by shaking the Wii Remote) to jump even higher!
