1up Farming



1Up Mushrooms on Spaceship Mario

You can collect several 1Up Mushrooms on Spaceship Mario As you collect stars the following 1Up options will appear on Spaceship Mario



Grab Yoshi off of the quotnosequot and use the star pegs to swing up to a hidden island with 10 fruit Eat them all for a 1Up

Grab a Cloud Flower and make platforms to reach a 1Up on a cloud high above

Spin into the random item block for a chance at a 1Up

Near Marios left ear your right is a warp pipe that takes you to a 1Up minigame Feed the Luma to spin a number of random item blocks for a chance to win 1Ups

Talk to the Gearmo Robots when they show up on the planet to receive 1Ups

1ups Galore

Here are the locations of the 1ups On the Mario Starship


There is a CHANCE DICE on your ship Spin it and if it lands on a 1up it will transform into a 1up


Once you have Yoshi on your ship use him to fly up the flowers and eat all the fruit You will get 1 1up


Once you have access to the TOAD BRIGADE fly to their ship and they have a 1up aboard


As you progress through the game a pipe might appear in Marios ear Go in it to find 2 Luma One gives you 1 chance cube for 30 Starbits The other charges 30 coins for 5 spins


Once you have a Cloud Flower on your ship there is a secret cloud above your ship that has a 1up on it



Other


After completing a level and your new total coin count is over 100 you will get a 1up


In a level if you get 100 Starbits you will get a 1up skyp

2Player Tips Tricks




Attach yourself to a Luma by pressing and holding A Then shake your Wii Remote and star bits will come out of the Luma

When Mario gets hit by riding on a Yoshi press and hold A on Yoshi to stop him from running away and let Mario jump back on him

When there is a faraway item Like a 1 Up Mushroom that you do not want to risk getting have Player 2 press A on the item The P2 Luma will retrieve the item and give it to Mario

While Mario is swimming underwater you can press A on any air bubbles in sight to refill Mario039s air gauge

When Mario is fighting an enemy that can only be defeated by deflecting it039s attack at it you can press A on the attack Like if it shoots coconuts at you and the P2 Luma will bring it to Mario where as he can use the spin to deflect it at the enemy

While Mario is on a planet where an obstacle Like an Electric Fence or a Chainchomp can get in you way and hit you off stage you can hav P2 press and hold A on that obstacle to stop it from moving and hitting Mario This gives Mario time to go around it or escape

Alternate Way to the Engine Room


First go to the chimney thing near the starting point on the ship It spits out Rainbow Smoke Jump onto the chimney and you039ll automatically warp down it like a pipe It leads you to the Engine Room the room with all the power ups you find and the Big Star that shows the power of the ship


CoOp Sound Effects

In coop mode player 2 can press any button to make wacky sound effects UP DOWN LEFT AND RIGHT will make sound effects on the 1st players WiiMote while 1 and 2 will make sound effects on the 2nd players

Cosmic Spirit


In Super Mario Galaxy 2 there is a blue being resembling RosalinaIf you die a certain amount of times in a certain level she will appear some where in the level If you talk to here and use her she will show you how to navigate successfully to the Power Star If you use the Cosmic Guide the Power star will turn to Bronze Star If you wish to change the Bronze Star to a regular Power Star you must complete the level with out her help

Hints and Tricks

Ok guys I039ve seen some of the cheats on this list and they039re either barely explained or not even right Here I will be telling you some amazing stuff i found in this amazing game


We all know of Yoshi039s special appearance in this game Did you know he has a glitch Yoshi has the ability to flutter Once or twice in the air If using the correct button pressing and timing Yoshi can use infinite fluttering Alrite so get on Yoshi Next jump and hold A to get him to start his flutter As Yoshi flutters TAPyes tap NOT HOLDING Z while still holding A and then release A quickly Press A again to flutter jump again in MID AIR The goal is to get Mario to duck NOT dismount then quickly flutter again Used this to get 3minute Bowser Jr Megahammer run


We also know about 1Ups and how no matter what when you restart your game you get stranded back to 5 lives Need not to worry reader This next trick will have you swimming in 1ups possibly drowning If you have gotten to or beaten World 4 go to it Enter the Supermassive Galaxy Select any star besides the comet one Head on into the level like you normally would until the first Launch star Once launched to the circular planet with huge koopa troopas be ready You039ll have to long jump behind one to jump on it039s back Once jumped on once KEEP JUMPING ON IT AND MOVE A BIT WITH IT Never press the opposite direction you039re jumping in that039ll cause you to fall off 90 of the time Don039t go too far either You039ll hit it039s head and fall off After 7 consecutive jumps you039ll get a 1up for your work Keep jumping on the shell though for every jump after that will get you ANOTHER 1Up Keep with the koopa until the end99 lives and you039ll be stocked up and ready for adventure


Remember the underdog Mario bro Luigi He makes an appearance a second time in the Super Mario Galaxy series This time after unlocking 30 stars he039s playable but only in certain galaxies He runs faster jumps higher but harder to control He039s hard to slow down causing him to sometimes slip off cliffs After obtaining 60 stars and defeating Bowser in world 6 Luigi sends you a letter saying he039ll switch off with you at any time English Luigi has been unlocked Find the quotLquot he mentions right behind you where you usually spawn when starting the game When you go through the door Mario goes in and the end result is Luigi jumping out Same result if Luigi goes back in Both brothers are playable at your160


continue rarr


How to get to the beacon faster in super mario galaxy 2


There is a pipe that lets you go to the beacon faster First go to that pipe that is spitting out rainbow smoke Then go inside ot


Infinite 1 Ups

Go to SuperMassive Galaxy as you enter continue to the planet with the three giant koopas This is much easier with two people If you hold down one of the koopas and continue to jump on the koopa you will eventually start geting 1 ups You can have up to 99 lives

Infinite Lives

This fantastic cheat will get you 99 lives easily you can always return for more Go to the Supermassive Galaxy in World 4 and choose the first Star challenge Play through the level until you get to the hockey puckshaped planet with three supermassive Koopa turtles patrolling it DO NOT grab the Spin Drill youll have to get hit to lose it if you do Run up behind a Koopa and longjump press Z while running and then press JUMP onto its back You need to longjump from about a turtleshelllength behind it to catch the quotsweet spotquot Continue to hold the analog stick to the RIGHT and hold JUMP to continually bounce off the Koopas shell If you fall off or hit the head try again If you hold these buttons you should be able to maintain momentum while constantly bouncing on the shell After a few bounces youll rack up 1Ups for each hit

Longer jumps

Get a running start then do a triple jump As soon as you land do a long jump to get twice as far Note This will be easier to do if there are no gaps to avoid

Luigi on Title Screen

Exit the game while playing as Luigi instead of Mario and youll see his face on the title screen as long as you chose Marios for your default profile face

Maximum lives

Firstly fly to supermassive galaxy not on the comet leveland progress your way through until you reach the planet with the 3 huge koopas I would reccomend a friend helping you on this because its quite hard doing it without a friend helping youstun ONE Koopa

long jump onto its back and follow its path whilst on its back for a while you will start to see 1 ups appearing

UnlockableHow99 1upsLong jump on koopas shell

Play as Luigi in Any Level


Defeat Bowser at Bowsers Galaxy Generator for the first time then check the Mail Toad for a message from him Look for the L on the Spaceship enter it and then you become Luigi

CodeEffectLuigi for all levelsBeat Bowser at Bowsers Galaxy Generator

Save Your 1Ups

You usually start the game with 5 lives even if you save the game You can use the quotMysterious Letterquot to save all of your 1Ups between gaming sessions its slower than just racking up a bunch of lives using the turtle method each time you begin a game but here it is anyway If you start a different save file you can simply copy your file over it will automatically pass on all of the lives you had in the other file through Mailtoad Save and quit then return to the file you want to play and the lives are passed back again Note If you go into the same save file twice in a row youll get the 5Up Princess Peach letter instead
