There is a Koopa Troopa coming down the stairs at the end of the level. Stand on the block in front of the one the Troopa is on and jump up so that you jump on him.

Before entering the castle, enter an orange mushroom house and keep the Mega Mushroom you receive. Enter the castle and do not use the mushroom until the boss Battle.

You can get the satisfaction of revenge for all of the times in the past that you ran into them and died.

Avoiding Blockhopper:
On levels such as World 2-5, if a "?" box doesn't have a spinning "?", it is an enemy called a Blockhopper.

Giant Luigi:
Go to Toad Town dojo west and get a mushroom. Throw it at Luigi and he will become very big. Also if use on yourself, you will get bigger than Luigi and so on.
