If the timer reaches 0 the player loses a life. The player is given 400 seconds to get to the flagpole at the end. The 3rd pipe also has an optional entrance to get extra coins if the player presses down while on top of it. One brick-block near the end hold a starman which give the player invincibility for a short time and kills the enemies he/she runs into. These contain either a coin, a super mushroom, (which can give you the ability to break the brick-blocks, and can let the player be hit by an enemy once and not lose a life) a fire flower (fills up 1 power bar).
The other player gets 3 lives (the picture where Mario is supposed to be on the life counter is replaced with the character's icon) but can gain another by getting the 1-up shroom after the 3rd pipe. The stage can not be controlled by a human player, but has the same game map as Super Mario Bros. It has to be played on the packaged stage. It is based on the NES game Super Mario Bros. (or M-nes game1) is a bonus stage by Bane84.
