Hmm, I could sand to learn that! I was stressing out when I was down to below 70 lives by the endgame. Haven't been farming them nearly as easily as I did in 3D Land, where whenever I needed a pick-me-up, I'd just hit the first level and get a bunch of 1-Ups and gear up with Raccoon or Tanooki Suits for whatever level I was stuck on.
