Blue Toad House
Entry Location:
Once you beat the game, a blue toad house will appear above World 1-1. In it, there are five different backgrounds for the touch screen. The only problem is that each one costs 20 star coins and the fifth one isn't unlocked yet. To unlock it, you have to get rid of every star coin sign from world 1 to 8.

Secret Challenge Mode
Entry Location:
The secret Challenge Mode in New Super Mario Bros. allows you to replay levels you've completed in a new way. In Challenge Mode, the screen will not scroll to the left. So, if you pass up something good, you can't backtrack to pick it up (like in the original Super Mario Bros.). This makes the game even more challenging! Here's how it works:
1. Complete the game (see the ending at least once).
2. On the world map screen, press Start to pause the game.
3. Enter the following code: L, R, L, R, X, X, Y, Y.
4. If you enter the code correctly, a message will appear announcing that you have accessed the secret Challenge Mode. A yellow arrow will appear in the upper right-hand corner of the screen, indicating that Challenge Mode is activated. Note that Challenge Mode can only be played in areas that you have completed.
