Although Super Mario Bros is a very popular video game, only a few know the many tricks it hides. This is one of the craziest.

If you are a video game enthusiast, you’ve surely played Super Mario Bros, Nintendo’s legendary installment for the NES that has countless tricks. One of them allows you to launch fireballs while still small.

To perform this trick, it is essential for Mario or Luigi to find a flower that is hidden in some bricks. When touched, the character will grow immediately and his pants with suspenders will change to a white color. Here are the steps to accomplish this.

The first things first, you need to reach Bowser level with the and active flower or mushroom and try not to lose it along the way. When you are facing Bowser, you don’t immediately beat him, you have to wait for him to approach you next to the ax that cuts the bridge.

Before the main villain reaches you, you have to jump in such a way that you press the ax and touch the villain at the same time. If you do it correctly, Mario or Luigi will lose the flower or mushroom, but they will still be big.

At next level, grab the first mushroom you see and your character will shrink. Keep going until you come across a flower and after consuming it, you will transform but remain small.

What’s unusual about this trick, is that you keep playing that way until a villain touches you. When it does, you will lose the flower, but get big. If they hurt you again, you will unfortunately die.
