Fixed in Super Mario All-Stars?: Yes; no door is made off-screen.
Life meter glitch
When you pull up a Rocket, pause the game before the Rocket takes you to
another screen. Perform the suicide code
(Up+B+A on Controller 2 while paused, then unpause). When you unpause,
your character will have no dots filled in the
life meter, but the Rocket will take you up to the next screen, explode,
and drop you off as usual. But now, you'll be
"small" with no dots in the life meter, and the music will turn off (except
in 5-1, because the music changes). Grab a
Heart, and it will fill in two dots, but you'll still be small! Grab another
to fill in the third dot, and to become "big."

Fixed in Super Mario All-Stars?: Yes; you can't pause while in a Rocket.
Trapped
When fighting Fryguy, break him down into four "baby" Fryguys. Now try
to kill one as you get hit by another at the
same time. After you kill off the rest of them, the door won't appear.

Illusion items
Throw down a Potion on top of some grass. Enter Sub-Space, and press Up
to exit. As soon as the door opens, quickly
and repeatedly press B. If your timing was right, the item that you pulled
out will be on top of your head. You can't throw
it, but if you go in a door, or up a vine to a new area, the item will
become real and will be sitting in your hands. If you
get killed while carrying the illusion item, you'll have a real item in
your hands when you retry the stage!

A chip off the old Rocket
Do the "illusion item" trick above, and then go and pull up a Rocket. When
it flies upward, your item will stay where it
was, and the upper right corner of the Rocket will be gone.

POW madness
In World 7-1, pick up the POW and go to the end. Jump on an Albatoss and
ride it all the way to the left. Throw
the POW, and if you pull up the Rocket right away, it will shoot up super
fast.
Get a POW block and go near logs that are rolling down a waterfall (try
World 1-1). Throw the POW Block, and if
you are standing on one of the logs when the POW Block hits the ground,
the log will go straight up and off the
screen.
You'll get similar results as the glitch above if the POW block hits the
ground while you're standing on a Crystal
Ball (try World 1-3), Mushroom (try 3-3 (Sub-Space)), or Turtle Shell (try
1-1).
Fixed in Super Mario All-Stars?: No.
Throw a POW block, then quickly pull up some vegetable and throw it. The
veggie should fly high in the air.
Throw a POW block, then quickly pull up a Bob-Omb (try World 5-2). He should
drop right through the ground. If
you go in a door, die, or otherwise leave the area, you'll experience a
delayed Bob-Omb explosion...
Fixed in Super Mario All-Stars?: Yes

Warp backwards
In World 6-1, get a Potion from the first vase. Take it to the grass between
two cacti that yields a Potion. Do the
"Illusion item" glitch as explained above, and make sure you get that Potion
as the illusion item! Now go into the cave
with all those vases. At this point, your illusion Potion should've turned
real by entering the cave. Throw it down, and
while in Sub-Space, go down one of the vases. You'll warp to 6-1, the same
level you were in! (Any vase that cannot
normally be entered in Sub-Space turns into a backwards Warp Zone with
this glitch.)

Disappearing Mushroom Blocks
This trick is good to do in World 2-3 after beating Tryclyde, where you'll
have a doorway and lots of Mushroom Blocks to
work with. Put one or two MBlocks horizontally on top of the door. Pick
up another MBlock, and as you're moving, try to
throw the MBlock into the bottom corner of one of the MBlocks sitting on
the door. If you throw it in the right place, it
should go in the exact same spot as one of the MBlocks sitting on the door.
The one you threw replaces the one that
you threw it into, I guess. This glitch is sorta hard to explain... but
once you pull this off, it's easy to duplicate.

Fixed in Super Mario All-Stars?: Most likely.
Flashing while climbing a vine
On vines that go all the way to the ground, get on or in front of it, and
press and hold Down until you start to flash like
you're ready for a super jump. Start climbing the vine, and you'll still
be flashing as you climb! If you press Left or Right
while on the ground you will cease flashing.
Fixed in Super Mario All-Stars?: Yes.
Sub-Space music in the overworld
Get Starman and immediately enter Sub-Space. Stay there until your time
is up and you're thrown back to the
overworld. If you're still invincible when you come out, the Sub-Space
music will keep playing over and over.
Fixed in Super Mario All-Stars?: Yes.
Enemy elevator
If you throw an enemy, then hit it with another enemy while it's still
upside-down, both enemies will shoot straight up.
One way to do it is to find a wall or pillar. Hold an enemy while standing
on top of another enemy. Press B twice
quickly, and if you bounce the first one off the wall you'll have a good
chance of pulling off this bug.
Another way is to throw a Shyguy into quicksand, then quickly throw another
Shyguy onto the one drowning in the
quicksand (try World 2-1). I think they stay upside-down longer while drowning
in the quicksand, so this might be an
easier way to do it.

Bob-ombs from Mushroom Blocks
Find one of those vases covered with a Mushroom Block, that when you take
off the MBlock, Bob-ombs come out. Pick
up the MBlock and throw it down to the side of the vase leaving a one-block-width
gap between the MBlock and the
vase. Stand behind the MBlock so the Bob-ombs get stuck between the vase
and the MBlock, and eventually they'll
blow up the vase. Now take the MBlock and throw it where the vase used
to be. Scroll the MBlock off the screen, then
scroll back. Bob-oms will be emerging from the Mushroom Block!
Fixed in Super Mario All-Stars?: No.
Put holes in Chains / Change the color of Mushroom Blocks
Pick up a Mushroom Block and jump towards a chain. When the chain is directly
behind you, throw the MBlock. It
should get stuck in the chain and change to a greyish-blue color. If you
jump onto the MBlock and pick it up, the
MBlock will revert back to its original color, leaving a hole in the chain
in the process! Also, once you get on top of the
MBlock, you can do the "flashing while climbing" bug on the chain. This
also works on Vines and Ladders.
Fixed in Super Mario All-Stars?: Yes.
Floating Mushroom Blocks
In doorways created after you beat a boss in any #-3 level, you can throw
Mushroom Blocks on top of sunlight
emanating through the door.
Fixed in Super Mario All-Stars?: Yes.
Get at least 2 Mushroom Blocks, and put one in a corner against a wall.
Pick up the other one, run towards the
wall and jump, and make sure you are still moving towards the wall in mid-air.
Right before you touch the wall,
throw the Mushroom Block and then try to land on top of the one in the
corner. If you did this right, the
Mushroom Block you threw should be behind you. Now press B to pick up the
MBlock you're standing on, and
then jump. The MBlock you threw is now floating in the air! You can do
this over and over again until the floating
MBlock is too high to jump onto.
Fixed in Super Mario All-Stars?: No.
