Warp from World 1->select World->World 8, makes sense :P(is to confirm the shot before any cofusion:)

Played through the whole game and beat bowser. Then started a new game with a stock full of p-wings. Got the 2 whistles in world 1 and went to world 8. Flew over every level and beat bowser again for the win.

can I earn this whit a game over?

DryIce53 19 Jun 2022 17:20

(25) = good luck,you need it or find maps to get shortcuts and use one wind flute in 2 and the second use in warpzone to reach the 8 easily xd

This achievement does still work if you get a game over, I got game overed on the last area but the world didn't fully reset as the tanks are not present again if you beaten them the first time, I just continued on and made it.

you get a game over...nu huh just get 2 flute of two area and use the map as skip 7 stage.

It would had been nice if this achievement had primed triggers like the other one does. That way you know it's working properly before investing time into it.

This works on a second run - when you beat the game, if you start a new game right away your entire inventory is full of P wings. Makes getting this really easy.

Uff that one was quite brutal. Made me realize I cheese the levels in world 8 normaly with items like P-Wing.

In my opinion World 8 is one of the most brutal last worlds in the mario series.

To help with this cheevo.

Get as much items as possible from world 1. Visit the Toad Houses etc.
Do the gomba trick on level 2. See the cheevo for it. This way I stacked up on 30 lives and barely made it through. Especially the air ship without power ups is a real pain.

Along with farming lives, you can also get a p-wing from the white toad house before wrapping to world 8.

TIP: You can pretty much cheese the ship stage in world 8. All you have to do is go into the water, and then go under the ships by holding right and mashing A as fast as possible. Hope this helps!

I’ve died so many times in world 8 I’ve least we got super leaf. I’ll try to get mastered of this game impossible.

sandro4912 4 Mar 2025 04:06

The key is to farm many extra lives in world 1 with the goomba trick. Than you can die a lot and make it without the super leaf.

DeadCanDance 4 Mar 2025 04:18

This really isn't that bad - you have to beat the game once without using warps so you might as well get that out of the way. Once you do that - if you start a new game immediately after, you have a full inventory of P Wings. You can literally cheese every single level and get this. It's not even an additional ten minutes on top of a normal playthrough. It's one of the easiest achievements in the entire set because it doesn't bar you from doing this.

Or you do i legit. Like the nes version were it is not possible ;-)

Request Manual Unlock

Sistik123 21 Apr 2025 17:43

After completing game all the way through I did both whistles in world 1, beat bowser but did not receive achievement.

sandro4912 21 Apr 2025 21:04

This is not the place to ask for manual unlock. See:

https://docs.retroachievements.org/general/faq.html#in-short-how-to-request-a-manual-unlock

Also if the cheevo seems broken you could open a ticket for it.

supersonicjc 2 May 2025 16:45

this was easier on this version vs the gba, you can clear basically world 1 other then going for larry and have a p wing to use on bowser and glitch him to make him even easier... did this attempt without even the morning coffee lol
