New Super Mario Bros. (DS) "Cheat Sheets"—What Exists?

The game has no built-in cheat codes, cheat menus, or unlockable "cheat sheets." It's designed to be played straight.

What Players Call "Cheat Sheets" (Community Resources)

• Star Coin maps: Images/videos showing all 3 Star Coins per level (unlocks World 9 / backgrounds).
• Secret exit guides: Locations of hidden flagpoles leading to warp cannons (World 4→7, etc.).
• Speedrun routes: Frame-optimal paths for any% / 100% categories.
• Enemy/obstacle patterns: Frame data for Hammer Bros., Lakitu, boss cycles.

Where to Find Them

• MarioWiki, Speedrun.com, YouTube (e.g., "NSMB DS all star coins"), GameFAQs.

Using guides is fine, but discovering secrets yourself is half the fun.
