In Super Mario World, it is possible to activate the “hurry up” jingle and subsequent speed increase in the background music repeatedly. In Funky, the last level of the Special World, there are 9 green Berries positioned around the level. If you wait until the timer reaches 99 seconds, then eat a Berry, the music will become faster, but the timer will go back to 119 seconds. Once it reaches 99 seconds again, this can be repeated with another Berry. Near the end of the stage, the music will sound like this.
