Kick a Rubber Bomb into a Dangerous Bomb; this may also work with other kind of bombs. You can also kick two Rubber Bombs. They will both hit each other and make a Super Danger Bomb.
Equip either the Invincibility power-up or the Fire Suit. It is best to equip some Speed-Ups, Bomb-Ups, and Flame-Ups for the trick to be more effective. Plant a bomb and stand next to it, waiting for it to explode. Meanwhile, repeatedly tap A to plant a second bomb in the blast, then another, and so on. The process can continue for as long as desired. Having the Bomb-Ups simply means the chance of failure is reduced, while the Flame-Ups and speed-Ups allow you to cover more ground during the time you are invincible to the bomb blasts.
While playing the game in multi-player mode, hold R, move slightly, then stop. If you are still holding R, your character will walk in place.
It is possible to save important items for the next level, such as glasses or the firesuit.
