Taunt cancel: In version 1.3, pressing the D-pad causes Mario or Luigi to perform a taunt depending on the direction pressed. The down taunt (down on D-pad) can be used to cancel any action or animation being performed. This technique is incredibly powerful when used correctly and is the basis for many glitches listed below.

Warp to lobby: Mario and Luigi need to both press L+R+Start simultaneously. This can only be performed in the courtyard or in a level.

Star cancel: Taunt cancel after getting a star to remain in the level. IMPORTANT: If Mario collects a star and taunt cancels on the ground, the camera may become messed up for the rest of the level. Mario players should try to grab the star in mid air and taunt cancel before landing to avoid this. If Mario is dead, the same suggestion applies to Luigi.

Quickly re-enter a level: Spam taunt cancel on the way out of most levels to end up right back in the level!

Text glitch: Taunt cancel after talking to a person (such as toad) or a sign to be able to move around while the text is visible. IMPORTANT: In this state, many collision detections do not function properly. For example, this allows you to do "cannonless" quite easily.

Pyramid Clip (SSL): Go to the star near the top of the pyramid (Shining Atop The Pyramid star) with both Mario and Luigi. Luigi should stand in a corner, and Mario should try and run into him. Luigi should then jump. Luigi will get stuck in the ceiling. Luigi should taunt cancel while Mario tries to move and push him in.

Hovering: Perform a butt pound (Z in the air) and then taunt cancel it into another butt pound as soon as possible. Repeat to hover.

Easy bowser throws: Spin the analog like normal to build up the strength of your throw. However, instead of letting go of Bowser with the B button like normal, hold the analog stick in the exact direction you want Bowser to fly and taunt cancel. This will cause Bowser to always fly in the correct direction - regardless of the time you press the taunt button!

Double bowser throw: On Bowser 3, if Mario and Luigi grab bowser on the same frame, he should duplicate. Mario should throw Bowser like normal. Then, Luigi has a few moments to aim the bowser duplicate and toss him as well.

8 star (Bowser 1) Door Clip: Method 1: Easier LBLJ (obsolete)

Method 2: Door clip

30 star (Bowser 2) Door Clip:

50 star (Final upstairs area) Door Clip: Use the text glitch to walk right through the door.

70 star (Bowser 3) Door Clip: Well... you don't actually need to clip through this door. However, sometimes the door won't open properly. One way to consistently get this door to open is to have Luigi face the 50 star door and remain still while Mario runs up to the 70 star door.

Endless Staircase Skip: In version 1.3, the endless staircase is disabled. All you need to do is run up the stairs to enter the final level.

Lethal Lava Land Lava Fence Hop

Misc. glitches: If Luigi dies while Mario is wearing a cap, Mario keeps the cap for the rest of the level.

Happy running, Owna
