1 shine sprite
To get 1 shine sprite you need the turbo-nozzle. Once you have it go next to the police men and tirbo into the door you will be in a minigame and you can only do the minigame with the turbo-nozzle.
1 sprite for the cost of 0!
If you want one sprite you will need:
Yoshi skill
Maybe Fruit.
Once you have got these set off to the place where boats come (not In the sea!) and WITH yoshi skillfully jump onto a boat and wait until you get to and ISLAND... If you do not get onto the island try the other boat. once you get to the island with no basket quickly eat the yellow bird for a sprite!
NOTE: If you collect a sprite with yoshi he will say "Yoshi!".
Alternate ending screen
If you complete the game with 119 Shine Sprites or less you will get an ending screen in which el Piantissimo inspects the paintbrush. However, if you finish it with all 120 Shine Sprites, the ending screen will show all the characters in the game.
Avoid losing health when falling
When falling from high places, press L to do a Ground Pound. This will make you fall very fast and not lose health.
Begining Mishap
In the beginning, when you are doing "Road To Big Windmill", look at the top of the windmill and you will notice that Petey is already there. If you beat him at this time, you will skip the first stage and you will be able to go to the third level. This is how you get to him. First, go to those platforms that have the ropes attached to the side, and jump up the ropes to the wood and start going up the side of the windmill and eventually get to the top where Petey resides. It will be just like the battle in the second level. Beat Petey and you have access to the third level without having to do all of the work of the first level. Hope this will help you in some strange sort of way.
Blue coins easily
To get blue coins explore the whole place around Isle Delfino (NOTE: You Can Find people on little Islands too!) and you find people that ask you For things and put it in there basket (e.g. Coconut,pineapple etc.) If you get them what they require they will give you 1 Blue Coin, once you have ten visit somewhere on isle delfino to trade 10 for a sprite. If you do this cheat again you will get a life.
Bubba-Proof
In Gelato Beach and other levels where there are Bubbas (the big red fish that drags Mario underwater), you can keep them from doing this attack with this little trick. Pick up a piece of fruit and start swimming with it. It will enable a glitch where they cannot drag you. This is very useful for the Red Coin Shine in Gelato Beach.
Complete Game
You need 120 sprites to complete the game.
Easy cleaning
Instead of taking a bath each time Mario gets dirty, do one or two spin jumps.
Easy Lives
After you beat the game you can go to the Delfino Airport. When your there gather 100 coins to obtain a 1-up. Exit the stage and head over toward the cannon that sends you to Delfino Park. Dive in the water at the end of the street and at the sea floor is a hole with a free man. Get it and return to the Delfino Airstrip. it costs 10 coins which means you now have 90. Gather 10 more to get the 1-up and then leave. Get the one under the water again and keep repeating this trick for massive lives.
End Bonus
Successfully complete and save your game. Then you can pay 10 coins to use a boat near the clock tower where Yoshi is found to return to the Airport level at the start of the game.
Faster transportation
To make Mario get around a little faster, use the single spray nozzle and shoot a small amount of water in front of him. Run and press B to do a belly slide. He will slide through the water and keep going at a high speed. This will continue as long as you do not hit anything.
