How do you use Toad Houses in New Super Mario Bros?

Answer 1

If you have two or three stars next to your file (by completing every single level), you can enter them as many times as you like. You'll know because the circle you stand on will be blue instead of red. However, you probably haven't done that yet. Not to worry, you can still get more items. Here's how:

First go to any course course except the final castle. It's easiest with courses with flagpoles. You should probably stick with World 1-1. Make sure there are no Toad Houses at the left of the world.

Once you get to the flagpole, you can choose which one you want by ending the timer with the last two digits the same. Note that this will not work if they're zeros.

When you end a level with the last two digits of the timer the same, you get the original level complete song and fireworks for whatever the last number is. You get 4,000 points for each firework, so you can get up to 36,000 points!

More importantly, though, you get a special Mushroom House at the far left of the world. You can use it whenever you want. Keep in mind, though, you can't get another one in that world until you use the first, so try to use it as soon as possible.

Now what kind of house do you get? Don't worry, I'll tell you.

If the timer says X11, X22, X33, you get a Red Toad House.

You can get a Super Mushroom, Fire Flower, Koopa Shell, or Mini Mushroom.

If the item isn't good enough, you'll get 1,000 points instead.

Strategy: Timing (see related questions)

If the timer says X44, X55, or X66, you get a Green Toad House.

You can get up to 12 extra lives in here. Even if you have 99 lives, you won't get any points.

Strategy: Luck

If the timer says X77, X88, or X99, you get an Orange Toad House.

Simply hit the block to get a Mega Mushroom. The Mega Mushroom will replace anything you have. If you already have one, you'll get 1,000 points.

Strategy: N/A

If you beat the last level, you'll get a Blue Toad House.

This is a special Toad House, and there's only one of them, right above World 1-1. You can buy three backgrounds for your touch screen for 20 Star Coins each. The last one will be unlocked once you open all 32 Star Coin Gates. Then you can buy the last and, arguably the best, wallpaper.

Strategy: Star Coins

Answer 2

This is easy to do. Start with any easy course, such as the first one. When you get to the flag, you should get fireworks and hear the original music. When you pull down the flag, if the last two numbers in the timer are... ones, twos, or threes, you will get a red mushroom house. Get most power-ups there. fours, fives, or sixes, you will get a green mushroom house. Earn up to 12 1-ups there. sevens, eights, or nines, you will get an orange mushroom house. What do you get there? A Mega Mushroom, of course! Do not pull the flag when the numbers are zeros; the cheat will not work. Always stand under the box. You can choose a power-up. To get get a... Super Mushroom, pause when you see the Koopa Shell. Then press A twice. Fire Flower, pause when you see the Mini Mushroom. Then press A twice. Koopa Shell, pause when you see the Super Mushroom. Then press A twice. Mini Mushroom, pause when you see the Fire Flower. Then press A twice. Getting 1-ups is pure luck! Avoid the Bowser block, or the minigame will end. To get the most 1-ups, get the three singles, the single three, and the doubler, in that order. The Mega Mushrooms are easy to get. Hit the block. When you use toad houses, they disappear. Use them wisely. Use the power-ups wisely, too. If you get all the star coins, complete all the levels, and spend all the star coins, you will get an extra blue hut,where you can get wallpapers for the bottom screen. Once you finish the game, mushroomhouses never disappear, unless they are the ones I was talking about at the beginning.

Answer 3

Red Toad House:

Hit the block to get a Super Mushroom, Fire Flower, Koopa Shell, or Mini Mushroom.

Green Toad House:

Hit the blocks to get 1-Up Mushrooms while avoiding Bowser.

Orange Toad House:

Hit the block to get a Mega Mushroom.

Blue Toad House:

After beating the game, hit the background you want for your touch screen. Each one costs 20 Star Coins. The last one can be obtained once you open all 32 Star Coin gates. That, too, costs 20 Star Coins.

Answer 4

Beat the game completely with all the star coins, every board, secret, cannons, and warps.(LuigiMan1997)

You have to finish world 8 and get 5 stars.
