Tricks & Glitches

Mario's Jump Attack (special) ：The more he uses his special attack "Jump", the stronger it becomes (the limit +85, as I recall.)

Untimed Defense ：Not timing defense saves a few frames, but it doesn't always work.

Skip a Terrapin's Attack (Thanks spezzafer) ：Move the cursor and kill a different Terrapin. Mario isn't attacked this way.

Mack skip (Thanks Hakusekirei & ITK) ：Jump on one of the bodyguards and you can skip Mack's battle.

Skip Heavy Troopa(Thanks Spezzfer) ：In Nimbus Land, you can skip Heavy Troopa twice.
