Lifting: While holding 1 and shaking the remote, you can lift by nearby objects including small ice cubes, turtle shells, and power blocks.

When in possession of either a fire flower or an ice flower, this will release two balls of fire or ice respectively to both the left and the right.

Wall Jump: Jump towards the wall then press 2 and the directional arrow away from the wall at the same time.

This will not work in single-player games (you will lose a life).

Another player can pop the bubble once you are in a safe area and you can resume playing without losing a life. When you are about to lose a life (falling into a pit, about to run into an inevitable enemy), press A to save yourself. This is a great tactic to know in multi-player games. The A button: Put yourself in a bubble.When in possession of either a fire flower or an ice flower, 1 is used both to dash and to shoot. When combined with pressing 2, your jumps are much longer than they normally would be. Holding it down longer results in a better jump. The 2 button: This button is used to jump.When climbing on a wire fence (found in castles), all four arrows are used to move around. When in the air, the down arrow does a ground-pound. Directional Arrows: Select the direction to move in (left/right).The controller is held sideways so that your right thumb should be near the 1 and 2 buttons and your left thumb is near the arrow pad and A button.

Being a classic side-scroller, the controls are simplistic and easy to learn.
