Turbo Nozzle Gravity Defiying Jump
You probably won't find this move in any strategy guide or another site and keep in mind it's just for fun.
You can't turn very fast with the turbo nozzle and you can't turn at all while jumping with the turbo nozzle. You can though with this move.
First get the Turbo Nozzle then start using it to go really fast. While your going fast spin jumprotate control pad then press A and immediately after that press Y to go into the view mode. While your in view mode going extremely fast you can turn while spinning in the air inside view mode That way you can run around Delfino Plaza with the turbo nozzle doing insanly tight turns and even do 180 degree turn while in the air with the turbo nozzle running
It kinda confusing but if you get it right it's pretty fun to run around with.
Defeat the King Boo guy
ok, go to the hotel in sierena beach and talk to the dude in front to go in. then go talk to the pink guy who looks like a sailor and he'll let you in the casino. now go on the big round thing in the middle of the room and pound on the purple tile. then it will go to some secret chamber. now king boo will come out of the middle. shoot water at him and he'll spin the slot thingy. if you get all pinapples,he'll give you food then throw the long, red food AT HIS TONGUE if done correctly his tongue will catch fire. then quickly throw a different piece of food AT HIS FOREHEAD if done correctly, he'll be injured. do this one or two more times to defeat him
Corona Mountain
To get to Corona Mountain, you have to beat the first 7 levels in each world. After doing so, the town will be flooded, and you have to chase shadow Mario into the mountain. Basically, you have to use the hover nozzle to douse the fire platforms and timing to avoid the spikes. You also have to be careful because the fire and spikes do 3 damage and the lava kills you. The boat is hard, but you can get through. Good Luck:

More Tips
Wanna learn how some of the water cannon functions work? Let me show you. First use the regular pump function to clean up sludge on the walls and ground. Use the hover function to go across large gaps ad hover while you clean the sludge on the ground,its two in one The rocket function allows you to soar to new heights by making you blast off like a rocket. The other function allows you to quickly gain speed on land and water use this as an escape or to get somewhere quickly. Use these functions in the right ways and maybe you might master them very efficiently
