To reset the game, press Start + Select + R + L at the same time at any time.

After Star Hill and before going to Nimbus Land, head back to the Mushroom Kingdom. Go to Mario's right in the guest-chamber (where the toad gave you the Wake Up Pin when Mack was terrorizing the Mushroom Kingdom). Sleeping in the bed is Samus Aran from the Metroid series.

At any point in the game, go to the Mushroom Kingdom. In the first long hall, go to Mario's left. Go straight and you will be in Toadstool's room. Go to the fireplace and to the right of it press A.

Another's' clue is " Behind a wooden flower" - this flag is behind the wooden flower at the beginning of Rose Town. The last's clue is "Between an A and an O" - this flag is between the A and the O of the word GOAL in Yo'ster Isle. After retrieving all the flags, go back to Monstro Town and sleep again. The 3 Musty Fears will say "He found all our flags" and give Mario the Ghost Medal.

After you beat Megalax in Bean Valley, there will be a note talking about a Seed. Take the Seed and go to Nimbus Land if you've already defeated Valentina.
