"up down left right"??? That's Contra -_- World 3-1, and be Super Mario. At the staircase before the end flag you will see two turtles coming down. Jump over the first turtle and then jump on the second turtle. It should hit the side and bounce back but you'll continue to jump on it. Keep doing that and after awhile you get the 1-ups. Don't go past 100 1-ups or you get a Game Over.
