Super Mario Bros. 3/Secrets

Treasure ship
The treasure ship can be unlocked on worlds 1, 3, 5 and 6 (i. e. those that do not have custom Hammer Brother variations).

To do so, you must beat any level while fulfilling the following requirements:


 * Your coin total must be a multiple of 11 (such as 11, 22, 33, 44,..., but not 00)
 * The tens digit of your score must match the digit of your coin score (i. e. 22350 points and 55 coins).

If these requirements are fulfilled at the end of the level, one of the Hammer Bros. will transform into the treasure ship.


 * This ship is similar to the airships, but filled with coins for you to collect. Be sure to jump up at the middle to not get crushed by the screen.
 * Before the pipe, there's a hidden 1-up mushroom.
 * Inside the ship, you'll have to fight against two Boomerang Bros. to beat the treasure ship.

Secret King messages
Beat the boss of any world with either the Frog, Tanooki or Hammer Suit. The king will then say a different message.


 * Frog Suit: Oh me, oh my! You've been transformed! Shall I change you back with this wand?
 * Tanooki Suit: Thank you, kind raccoon. Please tell me your name.
 * Hammer Suit: Hey, you! How about lending me your clothes? No dice?! What a drag.

Unlimited items
Find a map with one or more of Toad's mushroom treasure houses (Worlds 1-7), open a chest to get items. Die 5 times (or try a hard level 5 times) to get Game Over. After a game over, go to Toad's treasure house again and pick up items. You will keep all items even after a game over, so this is a great way to stockpile items.
