I remember how difficult Mario 3 was for me back when I first got it. When I finally beat world 1, was so ecstatic that I didn't want to turn the console off for fear of losing my progress. Thank goodness for backup saves; best invention ever.

When ordering this on the Wii, I noticed it has the wireless controller along with classic controllers. Does this mean I can play Mario 3 on the virtual console without buying the classic controller?

Ian see, the first whistle could be found while playing level 1-3. At the end of that level, you will come across some different color platform, jump on top of the white platform and hold down to crouch, keep holding down for a few seconds and Mario will drop down. From there, run towards the goal as fast as you can. You'll realize you could walkthrough the background, now walkthrough the black background toward the goal and you'll be transported to a mushroom house that would give you your first whistle. The second whistle could be found in the first fortress and the third in the second world to the far east of the map.

Ooo. Ooo. I do. In world 1-3 (or something like that), you have to crouch down on the white metal block platform for about 5 seconds and you'll fall into the background. Run along and don't get hit or fall, and run behind the end of level part, and dodo do doooo. You got your whistle.

For anyone who wants multiple 1-Ups, you could get some at the fortress in Desert Land. To make it work you must be racoon Mario. Then once you start, on the first section with three dry bones walking towards you, jump on the first one, then without touching the ground, land yourself and stomp on the third one, the second one should be caught in between the two. Now jump on the second one but hold Up on the d-pad when you land. By doing that, once you stomp the second dry bone, you could help yourself to leap higher, now press the action button to use the racoon tail to slow your fall, the first dry bone should woke back up once you stomp on the last one so you should just jump on the first one again and repeat the same process. After five stomps your score will then change to 1-Ups and will continue to do so just as long as you don't touch the ground. You could get up to 99 lives by doing this I believe. Note: This trick won't work using the P-Wing, you could only do it by jumping, not flying.

In my opinion this is the best old school game ever made. I have it on vc and it constantly rocks me. Cheers son ninja for the 1-ups tip. Never knew that one.
