Tricks

What happened to my hammer?  on the first level kill a few barrels and drop to the next part of the level.  You will lose your hammer power.

Teleport  On the first level move up the first broken ladder then climb back down; walk to the left and position Mario so that his back is almost touching the ladder; move 1 or 2 steps to the right and jump.

Ladders Restricted  If you go to the top of the ladder far enough that your hand touches the top of the ladder, the barrels will not go down the ladder.

Invisible Wall  On the left end where the hammer is you can jump off of the wall there by jumping against it.

Disappearing Barrels  If you do the third trick described above on the second to topmost nonbroken ladder the barrels will roll off the screen.  (This might not work all of the time)
