While the original Super Mario Bros. Had the Warp Zones, Super Mario Bros. 2 changed things up significantly. You could head to other worlds, but you had to go about it in a completely different way. For example, to warp to World 4, you’d have to go through the area in level 1-3 all the way near the brick house. While they’ve fallen out of popularity in recent years, video game cheats and secrets were the topic of discussion on the playground in the ’80s and ’90s. Some tricks, like the Konami code.
1-UP Mushrooms
1-UP Mushrooms can be found by hitting/smashing blocks. They give Mario an extra life. | Submitted by MORSN417
99 Lives
this is more a trick then a cheat, but in level 2-4, at the very end of a level, there is a turtle walking down the stairs leading to the flag. at about the 4th step, jump on him. here is where it gets hard. you need to jump on him so when he ricochets off the wall, you continue to jump on him. after that, don't ove so mario is just jumping n the turtle, and after a while, he will get 1-ups, and as long as you don't move, your lives will continue to go up till 99. | Submitted by Reaper
Accessing world 4 and 7
To access worlds 4 and 7 you first need to get a mini mushroom. You can get these at a toad house or in a game level. Then defeat the world 2 boss as mini mario.

For world 7 defeat the world 5 boss as mini mario and mario will the go into the small opening at the bottom. You will then be at world 7. | Submitted by gamemaster748

Alternate Way to Store Mega Mushrooms
If you want to store a Mega Mushroom in your inventory like you do with a multitude of other items, simply grab the Mega Mushroom and hit a ? Block at the same time. You'll then have the Mega Mushroom stored, even though you technically had enough room to 'grow'.
Backwards slide
In World 3-A, go to the second 'room', then go in the first pipe. You must be either Mega or Mini Mario to get the coin. To backwards slide, dash down one of the slopes, then turn back, still holding Dash. It will appear as if you are turning, but you will slide backwards. Make sure you hit the water before turning.

In World 2-4, just past the two Piranha Plants (after the mid-level point) you will come to a staircase with a turtle coming down it. Jump on the turtle just as it is about to go off the third stair (third from the bottom). If done correctly, Mario will continue to jump on the turtle and earn up to 99 lives. If you miss the turtle, go back towards the left and return to the staircase and the turtle will respawn. This is a reference to the original Super Mario Bros., in which you could do the same trick to get unlimited lives. Go to World 7-4 as Mini Mario. Go through the stage while staying on the left side. You will eventually see a '?' box and a ledge. Jump on the box then to the ledge. Jump off the ledge, making sure to stay against the wall and you will reach a platform with a pipe leading to a red flagpole. You will unlock a 1-Up mushroom house to the north of World 7-4, which never disappears. You can continue to get 1-Ups until you reach your maximum of 99.
