Hint: Bonus rounds:
Each time you get three of the same gold "buddy", you will enter a bonus level. In each one there is a large wall on the opposite side from where you start. If you get over that, there is a large golden "buddy" that will double the amount of "buddies" you have in the top-left of the screen.

Hint: Getting Enguarde:

Hint: Getting Rambi:
Keep jumping on the top platforms until you get to the end.

Hint: Getting Winky:
Go to the left. When you reach a dead end go up. Keep doing this until you get the big frog.

Hint: Extra life in level 1:
