Extra 1-Ups:
  If you pass by the first candle in Stage 1-1, you'll find a 1-Up by then
  breaking the eleventh candle. You'll also find a 1-Up in the the hidden room,
  which is above the fifth rope. Get both of these 1-Ups and let your character
  lose a life. Then, collect the 1-Ups again. Continue to collect two 1-Ups,
  lose a life and repeat this to build up your number of lives.
