Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury has a bunch of hidden things still within that I haven't seen a whole lot of people talk about. And in today's video, we're covering one of those bizarre things. 3 absurd 1-ups that have been hidden for years. Let's go on another extra life quest, shall we?

Thank you! I got up there many years ago but I completely forgot how. A couple years ago I tried again; thinking that I remembered a warp pipe was up there, guess it was 1-UPs; but I couldn’t find a way to get up there. I ended up almost completely doubting I ever did it and that it was even possible without having to use glitches. I totally believe that me and my brother would have gone into 2 player mode in order to get up there.

[@andrealeonardo417]

i just got up there with peach, you need to do a spin jump then grab into the wall on of the two side of it, then with a bit of luck you should be able to get there.

3:42 "there's no documentation for these 1-UPs anywhere". Actually Mankalor documented them in a video. Though to be fair, the video is called "Super Mario 3D World - Small details you may not have noticed", so it's not obvious that it would include these 1-UPs (plus it's not like you could have watched every video on this game that exists). Still, good video.

[@joshualevykh6064]

I know another way to get the 1-ups, just quickly rotate the left stick in a circle (multiple times) so your character spins, then jump. It'll make you jump really high before you hit the wall to climb with the cat suit.

[@duoradotcom269]

I remember finding them as well, and not being happy about it because we found the 1-Ups before the other Green Star which is why we got up there in the first place, plus we did the shell bounce thing for infinite lives so it wasn't all that valuable. We've always played with a full group of four and bouncing off of each others heads was just natural to us.

5:19 If you grab the eight red coins on the level, it rewards you by collecting all eight with a cat bell.

[@CutWat]

There's also one in the ? Block at the start

[@exterminator9676]

For those wondering, this was likely the developers putting 1-ups where they think it's obtainable and hidden, only for the collision programmers to make it impossible due to steep ramp collision. It's also possible that the map was changed before it was finalized, but because the 1-ups are so out of the way they didn't notice them before release.

I. HAVE. BEEN. FUCKING. WAITING. FOR. This video. For years!!!! I discovered these three mushrooms almost seven years ago while playing, and never saw a KZbin video covering the depth or insanity of it (except for 1-2 others, which also deserved recognition but never got it). Thank you for finally shedding light on this :) I personally feel like they should have hidden more in this secret spot. Like one of the pipes, a special secret or Easter egg, here in this mysterious spot.

[@bestevil.]

I don't know if you know this or not but in 3-Castle you can reach the bullet bill train at the beginning using peach with a tnooki leaf you can bounce on cat-bullet bills to reach the train. I don't know how intentional this is as there is a 1-up mushroom but its fairly close to where the warp-pipe takes you. Either way its still pretty cool and I don't know if anyone has mentioned it

[@MarioFan587YT]

I replayed this game a couple months ago, and you can actually get these 1UPs with just one player. By using a trick to get your climb to last longer, by holding the run button and letting go near the end of your climb, you can get a bit higher. With this trick used on both of your climbs, you can actually reach the top with one player.

Many years ago, probably four, i was one hundred percenting the game and came across that wall. Being an _average wall climber_ of mario games, i picked up another Wii-mote and got the 1-ups. I love to check on every wall in mario games, because some hide secrets and others are just an achievement. I was so surprised there was something up there, and im happy that more people will know about those mad 1-ups!

[@GatorOne-in7hk]

Now I’m more excited than ever to play this game online with my friend! It’s been way too long since I played it at his house with his other friends. Those were good times...☺️

[@octolingjen]

Sometimes it’s cool to find hidden 1-Ups, but what usually happens to me is that I rarely lose lives unless it’s a super tricky spot that holds me up for a bit. Then I’ll either find a farming spot on my own or find one on the internet. So, I don’t always need to go out of my way to get these hidden 1-Ups, but this basically falls under learning something new about an older game and that to me is always a thrill. I like having the reaction, “OMG, I never knew about that!” It makes me super happy that no matter how old a game is, there is always a chance that we might discover something neat many years later after it comes out. I love it.

[@lordroy88]

This is something I’ll remember to try on the switch version, along with cat momentum, 1-1 water box, and ice momentum!

[@Lumcoin]

I think I even remember collecting those three 1UPs, because I remember asking my sister to help me as the second player :D

[@Some-guy-on-the-internet]

I got up this wall ages ago. I think the intended method is to jump on another player to gain extra height so you can climb up the side of the wall, but since I never had anyone else to play with, I had to get creative. I tried climbing up the side of the wall with the cat suit but the wall is just too tall, so I instead used tanooki wall jumps to climb up the part of the wall that bends inwards a bit. I ended up getting on top of the wall and found the 1-Up mushrooms.

Nowadays, I would've just given up. But I got a second controller out and made it up. I was not happy to see only three one-ups, but I didn't know their history, so I think it's way more interesting now.

Short story. The first time I played this game was when it just came out. My cousin bought the game and had played the game before hand. The first level I played was this one and I when I found out cat suit can climb walls, I told him I wanted to climb every wall here. So we actually found these 1-UPs on the first try.

[@nicc8451]

In the first Train level in the game (idk which world), on the second train (the red bullet bill, next to the bowser one), there are boxes on the end of it, next to 3 bullet bill cannons, and in one of the boxes there's a 1 up, but from as far as I know, the only way to get onto that train (through a pipe), spawns you next to the Banzai Bill canon, which is too far away to make it to the boxes, because it's an autoscrolling level. Could you please document how you're supposed to get there? Because I have no idea.

[@CheeseEnthusiast617]

Easiest way to get them is by using a Tanooki Leaf, or using Rosalina's wall jump glitch. I found them when I was looking for Easter eggs a few months back
