Time Remaining
If you don't reach the course goal before time runs out, you'll lose a life. (

Remaining Lives
If Mario falls in a pit, gets hit by an enemy, etc, he’ll lose a life. If he loses all of his lives, it’s game over. (

Midway Points and Goals
*Not all courses have midway points
When you reach a midway point on a course, a flag will appear on the action screen, and the midway point will appear on your progress bar. If you replay the course, you’ll start from the midway point. However, if you play another course and then return to this course, you’ll have to start from the beginning.
Goals
Every course has a goal at the end. When you reach the end of a course, face the pole and jump as high as you can. The higher Mario grabs on to the pole, the more points you’ll earn.
This is how many points you’ve earned so far. You gain points by breaking blocks and defeating enemies.
This shows how many Star Coins you’ve collected on the current course. All courses have three Star Coins.
If Mario picks up an item when he’s powered up
(
Page 22), the item goes into your reserve spot on the Touch Screen. To use the item, simply tap it to make it drop onto
the action screen.
Blunders and Game Over
Getting whacked by enemies and falling in pits makes Mario lose a life. If Mario loses all his lives, your game ends, and you’ll have to start from your last saved point. If this happens, choose either Continue or Quit.
