Unlimited Extra Lives
First go to world 3-4. Go about halfway through the level until the likitu thing chases you. Go back to the piranna plant that shoots fireballs at you and grab a koopa shell. Once you've done all of that, throw it between the two blocks so that it bounces back and forth. Stand back and watch the likitu throw the spikey things into it. The shell will then kill all of them and you will have a lot of extra lives. It might take a few minutes, but it's worth the effort!
