Hint: Turtle Tipping for 99 Lives
You can use the decades old turtle-on-the-stairs trick from Super Mario Bros. to get 99 lives in New SMB Wii. Go to world 2-3 and, at the end, right before the flag, you'll find a set of steps and a turtle ambling down them. If you time your jump just right you'll continue bouncing on the shell collecting lives until you max out at 99. For a video of this, check out the World 2-3 section New Super Mario Bros. Wii Guide. (Ed.'s note: we used to call this "Turtle Tipping" and I'm bringin' it back, baby!

Easter Egg: Sounds From Beyond the Grave
When you're playing multiplayer and one of the players runs out of lives mid-level, he or she can still contribute to the game from the Great Beyond. Each direction of the D-pad is mapped to a different sound effect. Hold a direction and hit the 1 and 2 buttons to trigger different sounds, including clapping, a horn, kick and snare drums, and of course cowbell. The unfortunate players waiting for the level to end can add a drum line to the music.

Hint: Protect Your Head
If you press 1 and shake the Wii remote to pick up a small object, like a turtle shell (as opposed to just picking it up with 1), you'll hold it above your head, protecting you from falling Bob-Ombs, etc.

Hint: Red Mushroom House Tomfoolery
When playing multiplayer you can steal your teamates' turn in the Red Mushroom House match game by performing a ground pound on him (jump and the press DOWN).

Hint: Double Ground Pound (Multiplayer)
With at least two human players you can perform a special double ground pound that has the ability to kill all nearby enemies much like a POW block. You'll need to time your ground pound (press JUMP then DOWN) so both players hit precisely at the same moment.

Hint: Mushroom Houses
In New SMB Wii, you can make a bonus Mushroom house appear on the map by saving Toad when he appears in a level. To do this, you'll need to head to a level with the white Toad marker. Release Toad from the ? Block he's trapped in -- near the beginning of a level, listen for the cries -- and run him all the way to the end of the level to make a Mushroom House spawn. The type of Mushroom house depends on the final digit of the time when you grab the flag at the end of the level.
- Green (1-Up cannon game) - Get Toad to the end of the level, hit flag when the last digit of the time ends in 0, 1, 2 or 3.
- Red (Match game) - Get Toad to the end of the level, hit flag when the last digit of the time ends in 4, 5, 6 or 7
- Gold (Star reward) - Get Toad to the end of the level, hit flag when the last digit of the time ends in 8 or 9
Note: In multiplayer, you can make a Mushroom House appear using the a similar timing method. Hit the flag when the time digits end in 00,11,or 22 for a green house; 33, 44, 55, 66, 77 or 88 for a red house; or 99 for a gold house.

Easter Egg: Lose the Hat
If you get 99 lives (the maximum number of lives in New Super Mario Bros. Wii), Mario will lose his hat. Once you beat a level with a full 99 count, Mario will appear hat-less on the map screen and in subsequent gameplay. You'll regain your hat once you lose a single life.
