Extra lives
Press Start to pause game play, then press Select(16). If done correctly, a blinking square will appear around the last digit of the number of your remaining lives. Hold A + B and then press Left, Up to change the number.
Find destinations easily
Once a level has been completed, if an orange ball spins around a location, you should go there first. If it does not do that, go to the temple.
