Mushroom

Grab one of these tasty orange mushrooms to turn into Super Mario. As Super Mario you are much bigger (making reaching high blocks easier) and you don't die if you get hit by an enemy, merely shrink down to regular Mario.

Fire Flower

Pick a glowing flower and it will turn you into Fiery Mario. As Fiery mario you can kill enemies with fire-balls. Only two fire-balls can be on screen at once.

Starman

Collect one of these to become Invincible Mario. As Invincible Mario you can barge through enemies without them hurting you. However, fall down a hole and you will still die.

Coins

Collect 100 of these shining discs and you will recieve 1 extra life.

1-UP Mushroom

Collect a green Mushroom and the number of lives you have increases by 1.

Goomba

A nasty mushroom with big eyebrows. The goomba walks in one straight line and is very stupid. Jump on it to kill it.

Koopa Troopa

A Koopa is a nasty turtle (not a duck!!!) that p aces around levels. The red ones never walk off an edge but the green ones do. If you jump on one then it turns into a shell. Kick the shell and it will mow down anything in it's way.

Para-Troopa

Hop on the back of this winged Troopa to make it's wings fall off. Green Para- Troopas hop up and down while red ones float in the air.

Podoboo

A ball of flame that leaps out of Koopa's lava rivers. It cannot be killed.

Buzzy Beetle

A fire resistant enemy. It is exactly like a green Koopa Troopa except you can't blast it with a fire flower. < /p>

Lakitu

The King of the clouds is a nasty piece of work. he will chase Mario from his cloud in the sky dropping Spiny eggs. He is quite difficult to kill from the ground, but it is possible to kill him once you are high enough.

Spiny

The small spiked beetle that hatches out of Spiny Eggs is called a Spiny. It is just like a Koopa Troopa except you can't jump on it's back. You can blast it with fire balls though.

Bullet Bill

Living rockets that are fired from a cannon. They travel across the screen and can be killed by almost every attack. Just don't get hit by them.

Cheep-Cheep

Flying Fish! They usually swim peacefully in the water, easily killed by fire balls. Sometimes they leap out of the water and attack while you are standing on narrow platforms. They are not so easy to beat then, and so are best to just be avoided.

Bloober

A swimming octopus. If it gets too close for comfort then sink to the bottom of the screen and crouch, it is always repelled from hitting you then. You can also shoot them.

Fire Arm

A block with a rotating line of fire. They come in many sizes and cannot be defeated, so avoid them.

Hammer Bros.

Two Koopas with a sack full of hammers is not the best idea. They will throw them around mercilessly, so fight back with fire power or bash them from their blocks. If neither is possible then just run under them, as they will run at you after 100 seconds on the timer has passed.

King Koopa

There are many fake King Koopas and they pretty much do the same thing, breath fire. Some of them also throw hammers, which is dangerous. For points you need to defeat them with fire balls, but if that isn't an option, then run underneath it and grab the axe. The drawbridge will fall and Koopa will plummet into the lava. The last Koopa has ma ny attacks. Not only does he breathe fire, but also throws more hammers than ever before AND breathes invisible flames. Quickly run under him and hit the axe or shoot him with fire balls.
