+ The Ultimate Minus World Guide


Magitekchocobo of the nes dimension recants his minus world memories. Do you know how to moonwalk?


I remember a looooong time ago, when I was over my friend's house, he, his brother, and several of his friends were playing Super Mario Bros.  One of his brothers friends challenged me to a SMB challenge to see who knew the most tricks and quirks for this game.  Not knowing any better, I accepted.

He had several awesome tricks under his sleeve, like moonwalking , getting hundreds of lives in World Three off of that koopa on the stairs, and using the then-still-hidden World 4 warp to Level Eight.  But, the one thing that really blew me away was when he got to the Minus World.

He told me to go upstairs, so I wouldn't see how his best trick worked.  I did, and when I came back down I didn't know what to think.  He absolutely refused to tell me how to get to the minus world.  So, it was with great satisfaction that I discovered how to get to the Minus World some time ago.  Here's how it works:


 

First, go to level 1-2, near the warp pipe.  Smash the second and third blocks from the pipe, and then get ready to be annoyed.  You have to jump up in the air, facing away from the pipe, and hit the block on the side using Mario's head.  This could take awhile.











 

After a while, Mario will be able to get through the block, and then he'll get stuck in the wall and slide towards the Warp Zone.  Don't press any buttons, just let Mario glide towards the warp zone and then...











 

Go down the first pipe to access the Minus World.  If you want, you can go down the second pipe to get to level five, or the third pipe to get to level two (although I don't know why you'd want to :) )











 

The Minus World at last!  Admittedly, it isn't much fun, because as whenever you try to leave it you automatically go back to the beginning of it <shrug>.  But, it can be used to annoy friends who don't know this trick :).
