Does anybody know how Mailtoad's free 1-Ups work in Super Mario Galaxy?
Here's my situation: my file was setup so that every time I started, Mailtoad would be there to offer me the free 1-Ups. I eventually decided to play around and max out my Star Bits and get new high scores. I never talked to Mailtoad, but he eventually lost the free 1-Ups. Now I'm done playing and would like to setup my file like before so that Mailtoad offers me free lives whenever I select me file. But he never has the 1-Ups whenever I start. I figured that the Mailtoad having 1-Ups is simply a rare event that happens by chance. So I kept playing until I saw that mail symbol over his head. I saved and quit at that moment, but when I select my file again he STILL doesn't have the letter! Any ideas how I can replicate what I had before?
Edit: Nevermind, I somehow got it back. Don't know why, though!
