<p>Most gamers will know about the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUx66ZEDjnQ">classic infinite 1- UP trick</a> in Super Mario Bros. for the NES. Yet somehow someone has found a brand new infinite lives trick, 29 years after the game released. Given the obscure requirements for this cheat to work, that might not be too much of a surprise. The trick can only occur during the game&#8217;s two player mode on new game +. Player one and two must both die in specific places in order to glitch one of the game&#8217;s growing vines, allowing one of them to generate infinite lives from two buzzy beetle enemies. You can check out the trick in the video above and also read <a href="http://www.retrocollect.com/News/infinite-1up-glitch-discovered-in-nintendo-nes-super-mario-bros-nearly-three-decades-later.html">Retrogamer&#8217;s explanation</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #444444;">First, you must first take player one&#8217;s Mario to the second level of the game and throw away your first life. With Luigi taking over, player two must traverse all the way to World 5-2 and find the hidden beanstalk block halfway through the stage. Once there, Luigi must start climbing the vines, however, he must await &#8211; and take on the chin &#8211; an incoming projectile from one of the Hammer Bros. Upon being hit, once player one resumes control of Mario, the beanstalk from World 5-2 will start growing in World 1-2, providing all you need to infinitely kick shells for unlimited bonuses.</span></p>
