  192. You can get the Super Hammers via a Barrel Clip through some trees to the East. You will need to kill the Lakipea on the screen first. The Super Hammers allow you to break the gray rock in front of Teehee Valley and lets you save safely in Teehee Valley safely without getting stuck if you reload from a save. This is useful for when you are first learning the game and are trying to complete full runs because the hat clips ahead have a tendency to softlock the game if done incorrectly. There is a cave to the left of Teehee Valley that can be used to setup barrel storage if you end up resetting.

  235.  
  236. Entering through the back door in Bowser's Castle requires a timer event to be active. Without a timer event the game thinks the escape timer has reached zero and you will get an instant Game Over.

  237.  
  238. If you have reset the game and loaded from a previous save, you will need to go play the surfing mini game out in the Ocean and leave in order to enter Bowser's Castle through the back door. Going to the Surfing game adds approximately 3 more minutes to the run.
