Cheat mode:
Press Start to pause game play, then press Select(16). A square cursor will appear on the status line. Hold A + B and press Left or Right to move the cursor. Press Up or Down to change the number of current coins, lives, hearts, or time. Move the cursor on the small Wario head and press Up or Start to change Wario into the next powered-up version (Small, Hard Hat, Bull, Jet, Dragon). Press Start to resume game play.


In-game reset:
Press A + B + Start + Select during game play.


Locate hidden treasures:
After completing the game without the best ending ($99,999), start the game again and enter the flashing Saved Game pipe. Levels with unclaimed hidden treasures will be marked with flashing dots on the level circles.

Level warp:
Note: In order to use this trick, you must get to the item box in-between levels. There will be a little white block before the end of level 3. Get on the block and push down. Hold it for approximately three seconds to fall through. Do not jump. After completing the level, you can warp ahead.


Hint: Get to Sherbet Land:
Kill the two rats that throw knives at the end of the second level of Mt. Teapot. You must be Jet Wario for the following. Jump at the arrow of coins and press B to jet. Face the way that you came from to reach a small platform. Bump into a face block and get a heart. Get on top of the block and face towards the end of the level. Jump as high and far as possible and press B to jet. You will go to a passage and reach a different end-of-level door that leads to Sherbet Land.


Hint: Secret level in Parsley Woods:
Start game play in the Parsley Woods level and find the big tree (if you look on top of Syrup Castle you will see a tree sticking out of Parsley Woods that looks like a fork). Find the secret door to reach a secret level. It has three big blocks with 300 coins in it, but you can only go to it once.


Hint: More coins:
Use the "Cheat mode" code in level 2 and select a jet head. Start jetting off high to find a door that leads to many coins. In the coin place, put an enemy under the Pouncer. When Pouncer comes down, the enemy becomes a coin with a "+" on it, which is worth 10 coins.
