This is an effective move when playing multiplayer as the character above can assist the character below. Lifting: While holding 1 and shaking the remote, you can lift by nearby objects including small ice cubes, turtle shells, and power blocks.When in possession of either a fire flower or an ice flower, this will release two balls of fire or ice respectively to both the left and the right. Wall Jump: Jump towards the wall then press 2 and the directional arrow away from the wall at the same time.This will not work in single-player games (you will lose a life). Another player can pop the bubble once you are in a safe area and you can resume playing without losing a life. When you are about to lose a life (falling into a pit, about to run into an inevitable enemy), press A to save yourself. This is a great tactic to know in multi-player games. The A button: Put yourself in a bubble.When in possession of either a fire flower or an ice flower, 1 is used both to dash and to shoot.

When combined with pressing 2, your jumps are much longer than they normally would be. Holding it down longer results in a better jump.
