Well, in the grand tradition of previous Super Mario platformers, there is an infinite life “glitch” in Super Mario 3D World. You might not need many extra lives in Super Mario 3D‘s early stages, but if you’re trying to unlock and beat everything, then you’ll likely find that you need a lot of help. How to Earn Infinite Lives in Super Mario 3D World It only consists of one course, a Captain Toad level, a Mystery House, and a Sprixie House, but the difficulty of the final course alone (a grueling marathon called Champions Road) may keep you in this area for quite some time. You’ll be able to access the game’s final world from there. In order to access World Crown, you’ll need to unlock every Green Star, earn every Stamp, and reach the top of the flag pole on every level. Super Mario 3D World‘s final bonus level is also the game’s most elusive unlockable. While you “only” need to beat the final course in World Mushroom (Broken Blue Bully Belt) to unlock World Flower, the general difficulty of World Mushroom means that it might take quite a few tries to get to that point.
