The card game appears every 80,000 points, the card sets are chosen from 8 possible sets, these are shown below. Just decide which set you've got by turning over the first few cards then use these guides to win all the prizes.
Bonus lives
At the abandoned fortress on level seven, find the switch block and activate it, then collect as many coins as possible. Go through the door and activate the switch again, keep doing this for loads of lives. (You might have to hit one of the blocks below the P switch to get another P switch.)
Extra items
To get these items, end the area with the same amount of coins or more:
1-4 44 P-wing
2-2 30 Anchor
3-8 44 P-wing
4-2 22 Anchor
5-5 28 P-wing
6-7 78 Anchor
7-2 46 P-wing
Pipes
Here is a list of the pipes to go down
1-1 third
1-2 third from end
3-1 Second
5-1 second from end
6-2 Fifth and sixth
Ghost Galleon
To turn a wandering Hammer Brother into the Ghost galleon. Enter world 1-1 and collect a number of coins which is a multiple of 11 eg 22,33,etc make sure the last but one digit in your score is the same eg you have 33 coins and your score is 17020. You can change the score by smashing blocks, you get 10 points for each block. Now move to the card block at the end of the level and jump just as the timer hits an even number, the hammer brother should turn into a ghost galleon with lots of coins, but watch out for the Boomerang Brothers at the end.
Extra Lives
Go to the first T shaped pipes in world 1-2. You need to have a tail so you can float in the air. There will be little goombas coming out of the right end of the pipe. Go on to the ground near where all the goombas are coming out. Let three or four come out before you do anyhting. Then jump on one of them so you bounce up into the air. When you are coming down from that jump land on another one, and after you hit that land on another one. Keep doing this so you never touch the ground. Once you hit one goomba, you will want to flap your tail so that you will provide more time for more goombas to come from the pipe. Once you have stomped on eight in a row, you will get a one-up for every kill on after that.
Extra P-Wings
Beat the game. Afterwards, play again without turning the system off. You should have 28 P-wings.
Level 8 Shortcut
To beat the second board of level 8 easily, just swim under the boats until you reach the end.
P-Wing on Level 1-4
Collect all of the coins, then finish the level. A white moving mushroom house should appear. In the house there will be a secret room with one treasure chest containing a P-wing.
Secret Whistles
At the end of level 1-3 before you go to the black screen you'll find a bunch of blocks in the air. Find the white one and hold DOWN. When you fall through, run to the end and press UP. Hurry! If you do this correctly you will be in a secret room. Open the chest to get a whistle with special powers!
In the miniature castle of world 1 get the P-Wing and keep flying. At the top you should go over a wall and stop moving. Press UP to reveal another whistle!
You can also get this whistle by using a racoon suit. First take out the bone turtle, then go to the far right, start to speed up using the b button. When you reach the left end (your flying power should be full)start flying upward until you enter the secret room containing the whistle.
The 3rd Secret Whistle is in World 2. Beat a Wandering Hammer Brother and you'll get a music box or a hammer. Use the hammer in the Top right area in the Desert (not the level) by the Pyramid it is all the way North of it. Use the hammer there. You'll find a Wandering Fire Brother with the whistle along with a Toad's House with a Frog Suit in it.
Shortcut to World Eight
To get to world Eight quickly. Make sure you at least have two whistles (3 if you want to be sure) Go to the World 4 warp and use the whistle. (Don't go in!) If you use it at the World 2 pipe you should go to the 2nd row. If so, go to the 7th pipe and use another whistle. You'll be at World 8.
Super Jump
Hold A+B for 5 seconds, then release them and hold UP.
