Dear Mario,

Because of my most recent kidnapping, I've had plenty of time here in lonely captivity to write you a few hints and words of inspiration that I hope will help you during your quest to save me. Be careful, Mario, but hurry--this castle is so...dingy!

"See your famous moves!"

Use your fan.
Use all those special moves you do to grab coins and power-ups in hard-to-reach places. If you can't break a block or jump to a suspicious pipe, try using a combination of moves, or even a power-up.

Look for secrets!

Each course doesn't necessarily have just one goal, Mario. On some courses, there are hidden goals and secret paths that open up new places on the map! Don't be afraid to explore.

Don't sweat it!

If you're having a hard time making it through a course, use Super Guide! If you keep making mistakes and losing lives on the same course, you can call in your brother, Luigi, to show you the way through the course. Then, you can always go back and finish the challenge yourself.

Collect Star Coins!

There are three Star Coins hidden in each course. Something good is bound to happen when you collect Star Coins, Mario!

Go to Pewch Castle for a hint!

Go to Peach Castle. At Peach Castle, you can spend Star Coins to watch hint movies. I just know they'll help you on your adventure. More hint movies will become available as you progress through your adventure. So be sure to visit Peach Castle every once in a while, even if I'm not there. Oh, this is making me homesick...

Save Toads!

Some of the Toads have been trapped.
blocks! When you get near a block that
has a Toad trapped in it, you'll hear it
calling out to you. When you break the
block and free them, lift them up and
carry them to the goal. I'm sure the
Toads will give you some kind of reward
*Oh, and, Mario--you can only save To
by yourself.
