28 P-Wings

Complete the game, then press Start at the ending screen. You will then have 28 P-Wings when the next game is started.

Warp Whistles

You can collect warp whistles in hidden locations that you can then use on the map screen to warp to a different World. Here are the hidden locations:

WorldWarp Location
World 1, Level 3Towards the end of the level you will find a white block with a Koopa Troopa on it. Remove the Koopa Troopa, then stand on this block and hold Down. After a while, you will fall down behind the scenery. Run to the right and keep running behind the black part at the end of the level to enter a room where the first warp whistle is hidden.
World 1, Boom Boom's CastleYou will need to have the Racoon Tail to access this warp whistle. Procede on the first screen until you reach the door to Boom Boom's chamber. Jump on the Skeleton Koopa and while it is stunned, accelerate and fly up to the top of the screen against the wall just before the tunnel. Fly up and to the right and you will eventually move along a platform above the screen and enter a hidden room with a warp whistle.
World 2In World 2, you can enter challenges with Boomerang Brothers when they are present on the map screen. Defeating them will give you special items, one of which is a hammer. Once you have obtained the hammer, use it on the rock in the top right corner of the map screen to reveal an entrance to a room where you can retrieve another hidden warp whistle.
World 4Towards the end of World 4 you will find a white block. Stand on the block and hold Down until you fall behind the scenery. Run to the right, behind the black part at the end of the level to enter the hidden room with a warp whistle inside.

Warp to World 8

To warp directly to World 8, collect 2 warp whistles and have these in your posession at the same time. Use the first one, which will take you to a Warp Zone. While you're in the Warp Zone, use the second whistle, which will take you to another Warp Zone that allows you to enter World 8.

Make Treasure Ships Appear

A Treasure Ship will appear on the map screen if you do the following: On any regualr stage in Worlds 1, 3, 5 or 6, collect a number of coins that is a multiple of 11 (11, 22, 33, 44, etc.), then make the last 2 digits of your score equal to the number of coins you have but rounded down to the previous 10 (so if you have 66 coins, the last 2 digits of your score should be 60). Finally, at the end of the level when you hit the card block, make sure the last digit of the timer is an even one. If all of these conditions are complied with, a ship will appear on the map that will have lots of money inside.
