If one uses a gaming tool that can set the level that Mario is on, the Minus World goes all the way to -9. After -9 it changes to -A, later to -B, -C, and so on. After the letters, it changes to random bits of the terrain of all the levels. There are 215 of these bits. These levels are the result of level layouts being loaded with the wrong tilesets, enemy layouts, and properties, and are very strange. Specifically, World -2 is a version of [[World 3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-4]] with water graphics; World -3 is a version of World 3-4 with overworld graphics and World -4 and World -5 are just a blank screen. World -6 is a glitched out level which appears in a night setting. Some gray bricks may be found on the edge of it and a white [[Goomba]] will fall into the pit. The entire level is a pit, so Mario will fall down, to his death. There's a glitch which allows the player to complete the level by repeatedly pressing the pause button, which will lead Mario to a copy of World 3-3. After passing it, the game takes the player to -7, which starts off | If one uses a gaming tool that can set the level that Mario is on, the Minus World goes all the way to -9.

After passing it, the game takes the player to -7, which starts off using the intro for 1-2, 2-2, 4-2 and 7-2, although the game blacks out after Mario reaches the pipe. -8 is a weird castle level that you cannot move in, and -9 is a black screen. All the levels after -4 can only be played by using cheats or hacking. | ||
As shown in some editor utilities, the first Warp Zone that can take the player to the Minus World initially loads the data for the second Warp Zone, which normally only has one warp pipe in the center, until the "Welcome to Warp Zone!" message appears. The two empty slots on the left and right sides would read "36" if a graphic existed for that number. If two additional pipes are added in the appropriate places in this Warp Zone, they send Mario to the Minus World without executing the glitch. This explains why the second pipe, if the player performs the glitch, takes the player to World 5 instead of World 3. | As shown in some editor utilities, the first Warp Zone that can take the player to the Minus World initially loads the data for the second Warp Zone, which normally only has one warp pipe in the center, until the "Welcome to Warp Zone!" message appears.
