A [[Brick Block|brick]] must be partially hidden at the left side of the screen. Destroying the brick in [[Super Mario (form)|Super]] or [[Fire Mario|Fiery]] form does not render the debris like it normally would. | A [[Brick Block|brick]] must be partially hidden at the left side of the screen.

On some levels, it is possible to jump over the flagpole. Beyond the flagpole is nothing but an endless path. There is nothing to do; all that can be done is wait for the timer to get to zero. To do this glitch in World 1-1, right after the second pit, Mario needs to wait for the Koopa Troopa to about to fall into the pit and simultaneously jump at the top of the level right above the Koopa Troopa. After that, the Koopa Troopa will be stuck underneath the level, but the player will still be able to see it. When the Koopa Troopa starts to walk under the level, Mario should follow it to the end. Along the way, it is required to grab a Magic Mushroom. When the Koopa Troopa is halfway between the staircase and the flagpole, the player must do the glitch again and Mario will jump above the flagpole. | On some levels, it is possible to jump over the flagpole.

While going to any [[castle]] level, Mario or Luigi should go through the whole level by becoming Small Mario or Luigi. Mario or Luigi will need to touch the [[axe|ax]] as usual, but if [[Bowser]] or [[fake Bowser]] touch Mario or Luigi while he touches the ax, he will die and complete the level.<ref name="Amazing, Never Before Seen Super Mario Bros.

But our princess in another castle!" is over, the [[Game Over]] screen will be shown. | ||

[[File:SMB Mushroomglitch.gif|frame|Super Mario becomes Small Mario when collecting a Magic Mushroom | If this glitch is performed by having [[Super Mario (form)|Super]] or [[Fire Mario|Fiery]] form hit the ax. If Bowser or fake Bowser hit the player while the player hits the ax, Mario will flash, but stay Super Mario. Bowser will be defeated, and then the player will move on to the next level after rescuing the level's mushroom retainer. The game continues as normal, except when the player gets hit, they die. Collecting a Magic Mushroom will make the player Small Mario, and when they get hit they will become Super Mario again. When the player grabs a Fire Flower as Small Mario, the player will become Fiery Mario, but in the smaller body. When Mario shoots a fireball, he will become large, then, when the animation is complete, he returns to the small size.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2lVgHaRDf8 YouTube video of "small Fiery Mario"]</ref> If Mario dies, the player will need to repeat the glitch to play as him again. A similar variation on this is to do the same thing with Small Mario. Mario will do his usual dying animation, but the screen will scroll over, like normal, to the mushroom retainer, even though there is no Mario. When transforming, Mario will do a swimming "pose" on the ground. | ||
