This fantastic cheat will get you 99 lives easily -- you can always return for more! Go to the Supermassive Galaxy in World 4 and choose the first Star challenge. Play through the level until you get to the hockey puck-shaped planet with three supermassive Koopa turtles patrolling it. DO NOT grab the Spin Drill -- you'll have to get hit to lose it if you do! Run up behind a Koopa and long-jump (press Z while running and then press JUMP) onto its back. You need to long-jump from about a turtle-shell-length behind it to catch the "sweet spot." Continue to hold the analog stick to the RIGHT and hold JUMP to continually bounce off the Koopa's shell. If you fall off or hit the head, try again. If you hold these buttons you should be able to maintain momentum while constantly bouncing on the shell. After a few bounces you'll rack up 1-Ups for each hit.

Achievement: Super secret dive
When:
During game
How:
Mario's move list is seemingly endless -- even expert players may not be aware of this one. To perform the awesome flipping high dive, you need to find a place high above deep water. Try Starshine Beach -- run up the small sandy incline at the start of the level and look for a wooden plank hanging off of one side. Walk to the edge and Mario should look down at the water. Turn around while standing in this spot and perform a back flip by holding Z on the nunchuk and pressing JUMP. Mario will then perform this obscure move.
Addition by Rory: While on the wooden plank in Starshine Beach Galaxy or on the ledge with the 1-Up mushroom in the Slimy Spring Galaxy, run until you are at the edge, stop and then jump in one, FLUID motion. Mario will perform a front flip and then dive.
