My name is Magic Mushroom. I never had a game system when I was a kid, but I got to play Mario when I was in the hospital for a ruptured spleen (belly flop onto concrete - short story). I'm mainly a chess player, but I like level making, because I'm always in control...

Almost always. If you are a new level maker, save your work frequently, and NEVER use punctuation in your level name (sigh).

A few good cheats for SMF1.

1. If you jump into a ceiling while you're getting a power-up, you can warp through the ceiling.
This works with 1-tile ceilings.
If there aren't 2 tiles of SPACE ABOVE the ceiling, you will warp to the right instead.
This gets tricky. You can warp offscreen.

-When you are offscreen, the playing field is radically different. Monsters aren't there at all, but lava and bottomless pits will still kill you. If you're in a safe place, a back and forth running motion will drag the screen to where you are. Bullet Bill and Fire Bars aren't there unless you have already seen them, and even then they aren't active. But beware - as the screen approaches, all the monsters will begin to pop into existence!-

2. Bullet Bill and Fire Bars don't "exist" until they've been onscreen. If the floor has a firebar in it, Bowser will back up into the "hole."


3. Get a mushroom. Duck jump into the corner of a block. Push INTO the block, and then quickly change directions. Timed precisely, this gives super-speed and soaring capabilities.

This is really my favorite part of the game. It's the war of hidden knowledge. Every time you warp through a ceiling, you're breaking the rules. You've just thwarted the overseer, that war-mongering level-maker and that feels awesome.
