Just before the halfway point of 1-2, There are a stack of blocks. Get ontop of the blocks and jump. While you are jumping press the down arrow. It will make the blocks break and you will fall ino a small tunnel. Don't get hit by the Mushroom Man (Gomba Troops). You will see a block near the end. Get below it and jump. The block will release a star. Go onto the ground floor and run intp the star. Now keep on hitting enimes until your star runs out (music ends). By that time you wil have a range from 200 points to 7 lives!!!!!
