Two stars from Toad
If you happen to miss out on the star that you get from defeating the Boo's in the courtyard and getting their red coins, dont fret. You can still get 150 stars. It is simple, go to any one of the three Toads that gave you the other stars ( the one in Hazy maze Cave level entrance, near Tick tock the Clock entrance,and near tall tall mountain entrance) and talk to them, one of them will give you the star that you had missed out on earlier. This does not work for stars that you dont want to get like secret level stars on regular level stars, it only works for the Boo's courtyard star because it was a star that dissapeared near the beginning.
Easy Coins
In any level where there is a small wooden post sticking out of the ground, pound it three times to have 5 coins revealed. This can be very helpful when trying to get extra lives or a 100-coin star.
Don't Decrease Card Game Record
When the hands are revealed in any of the card games that has a record that increases when you win and decreases when you lose, look at the opponent's hand before it displays who wins or loses and pause. If you lost the hand hit quit and reenter the game. You'll have lost however many coins you bet but your record will remain intact.
Cool Cool Mountain slide shortcut
This is for the Cool Cool Mountain slide inside the house. When you come up to the first tunnel, look for a line of 5 coins going into the wall. Follow the coins into the wall and you will take a secret path with 3 1-Ups in it. Note: You can't use this to get the star in the Penguin Race.
Up Up and Away
Any tree with a yellow coin on top of it has a owl in it that will let you hold on to him by jumping under him and holding "B" and release to let go... This will take you to the top of any course and makes many stars that were once very difficult extremely easy.
Have Toad wear your cap
While Mario, Luigi, or Wario, lose a cap in any of the stages that you can lose a cap... and leave the level... While you have no cap, go to any other level, get any star and when you return to the castle, go back to the main hall and toad is there wearing your cap!!! He will say that he found it outside the castle front. This is also good in case you lost your cap somewhere but you don't know where you left it. Check it out, it's pretty neat.
Cannon
To access the cannon outside the castle, get 150 stars. There are three 1-ups, a cap and Luigi's rabbit.
Red Switch Place
Enter the castle and stand in the middle. Look up into the light and you will be transfered into a level. Go to the end to find the Red Switch.
