===========================

3. Characters and Partners===========================

Mario: The main character of the series, as usual. Once again, he's on

another

adventure to go out and rescue Princess Peach from Bowser. He will be

aided by

several partners and will go out on a big adventure.

Luigi: Mario's younger brother. Unfortunately, he doesn't play much of

a role

in this game, except the fact of his hidden diary and his little

surprise in

the end of the game. Someday, it will be Luigi's true time to shine.

Princess Peach: The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom. She has always

been

captured in earlier Mario games, and this one's no exception. But you

will

control her several times throughout the game, where you can go out and

do some

pretty useful things for Mario.

Bowser: The evil King Koopa. Once again, he captures Princess Peach and

lifts

her castle dangerously high in the sky. But this time, he's aided by

the Star

Rod, which can make him unstoppable.

Kammy Koopa: Bowser's evil assistant. Kammy will do anything to go out

and stop

Mario, from setting traps to spying on him in parts of the game. You

only fight

her once in the entire game, and you don't do it as Mario either.

Twink: A little star that has come to help Princess Peach. But Twink is

not


3/194

powerful enough to grant Peach's wishes, but Twink will do whatever he

can to

help out Peach. Mario meets up with Twink a few times in the game, and

he'll

give you a Lucky Star on your first meeting.

Star Spirits: There are seven of these. All seven star spirits have

been

captured by Bowser, and Mario must rescue all seven of them before

going out to

stop Bowser and save Peach. Each star spirit aids Mario with a special

ability

and increases his magic meter for special attacks.

---------

Partners

---------

In nearly every chapter, Mario will have a new partner join the team.

These

partners can help him out by solving puzzles that Mario couldn'toriginally

each. Mario will meet up with seven partners.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++

GOOMBARIO

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++

-A friendly Goomba, which becomes Mario's first place. And judging by

it, he seems to be the smartest person in the game. He'll tell you

about every

last location in the game. If you walk up to a person and press C-Down,

Goombario will even give you a bio on them...CREEPY! Personally,

Goombario is

my favorite, due to the fact he uses the least amount of Flower Points.

********

ATTACKS

********

Headbonk: Goombario will use his head to attack an enemy, but jumping

on spiked

enemies will knock him out for a turn. The action command for this

attack is to

hit A just before Goombario strikes the enemy.

Tattle: Goombario will give you a description for the enemy, including

attacks,

defense, and HP. After, you'll see the enemy's HP and how much they

have

remaining. For example, if you uses Tattle on a Goomba, you'll be able

to see

the HP bar for all Goombas in the game.


4/194

Charge: Requiring 1 FP, Goombario charges up by 2 attack points. Yes,

this is

cumulative too. Every time you charge, your attack will still increase!

And

when you've waited long enough, you can dish out the serious beatings.

Multibonk: This is similar to Mario's Power Bounce. Goombario will keep

on

smashing an enemy until you fail an Action Command. Only needs 3FP like

Power

Bounce, and the action command for attacking is A.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++

KOOPER

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++

A Koopa that will join Mario's team after you solve a Fuzzy situation

behind

his house. When you use Kooper, you can toss his shell to hit orcollect

distant things out of Mario's reach. You can even use it to do a sneak

attack

on an enemy first strike!

********

ATTACKS

********

Shell Toss: Kooper attacks the enemy using his shell, and it can only

attack

the front enemy. The action command for this attack is to hold left on

the

analog stick until the big light is brightened up, and then release to

do extra

damage.

Power Shell: Kooper attacks all grounded enemies on the field, with the

expense

of 3 FP.

Dizzy Shell: This is gained when upgrading Kooper to Super Rank. Kooper

will

use this attack to hit all enemies on the field and potentially make

them dizzy

and knock them out for a few turns using up 4 FP. The action command

for thisattack is to tap A as fast as you can and try to make it 100%. The

higher you

fill the bar up, the more likely you are to get more enemies dizzier

for longer

period of times.

Fire Shell: This is gained when upgrading Kooper to Ultra Rank. Kooper

will use


5/194

this fiery attack to hit all enemies on the field, which is much more

powerful

than Power Shell. This attack uses 5 FP. It is also extremely useful

for

dealing with the Dry Bones in Bowser's Castle.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++

BOMBETTE

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++

A bob-omb met in the Koopa Bros. Fortress. She can blow up walls,

destroy rocks, and activate certain things. Like Kooper, you can use

her as a

bomb to get a powerful first strike as an enemy.

********

ATTACKS

********

Body Slam: Bombette will charge at the front enemy and ram herself into

the

enemy doing some damage. The action command for this attack is to hold

A to

increase the power meter and then to release the button when the big

light is

lightened up.

Bomb: Bombette will walk up to the front enemy and explode in front of

the

enemy, doing a good bit of damage. This attack uses up 3 FP. The action

command

for this attack is to keep tapping A to increase the power meter and

try to get

it to 100%. The more the meter is filled up, the more damage will be

done.

Power Bomb: No, we're not talking about those WWE moves. You can use

this

attack after Bombette is upgraded to Super Rank. Bombette will do the

same

amount of damage as Bomb will do, but it will attack all ground enemies

on the

field at the cost of 6 FP. The action command is the same, try to keep

tapping

A to increase is to 100%.

Mega Bomb: Rewarded when Bombette is upgraded to Ultra Rank. As Power

Bomb

does, it does the same damage as Bomb, but this time it'll attack ALL

enemies

on the field, regardless of being in the air or not. It'll use up 8 FP,

but

you'll have a wee bit more time to charge up power meter by tapping the

A

button.


6/194

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++

PARAKARRY

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++

The flying Parakoopa who delivers the mail to everybody out there. You

can have

him fly you across small gaps that Mario can't jump over himself.

Another

special feature is that if you find letters, you can deliver them to

the

appropriate person with Parakarry and you'll get a Star Piece in return.

********

ATTACKS

********

Sky Dive: Parakarry will fly into the air and kick the enemy. He will

get hurtif he kicks a spiked enemy. The action command for this attack is to

press A

just before Parakarry kicks the enemy. Kind of tricky to do for some

people,

since the timing can be very annoying.

Shell Shot: Parakarry will shoot himself into an enemy causing a good

amount of

damage at the cost of 3 FP. It can hit any enemy on the field, even

those who

are on the ceiling. The action command is to hold left on the control

stick as

soon as you select the attack. Now as long as you are holding left, the

cursor

will move up and down. When the cursor aligns with the enemy, let go of

the

control stick and Parakarry should hit the enemy.

Air Lift: Rewarded when Parakarry is upgraded to super rank. Parakarry

will

grab onto an enemy and lift him out of the field for 3 FP. If this does

happen,

you will not get credit for the Star Points coming out of that enemy.

The

action command for this attack is to keep tapping A while you are

trying to

grab onto the enemy.

Air Raid: Rewarded when Parakarry is upgraded to ultra rank. Parakarry

will

scythe himself through the screen to damage all enemies while using up

6 FP. To

use this attack, keep pressing left on the control stick to raise the

damage

meter. The higher the damage meter, the more damage you will do.


7/194

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++

BOW

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++

A ghost that will join your team on your mission to take out Tubba

Blubba.

She doesn't do much, except her special ability is that you can have

her hide

you and confuse the enemies attacking you. Other than that, she isn't

worth too

much.

********

ATTACKS

********

Smack: Bow will smack the enemy several times, but she only does 1 HP

for each

smack, so this is not recommended for enemies that have a defense

better thanone. This move's action command is to keep pressing left on the control

stick

to raise the damage meter. The higher the damage meter, the more times

Bow will

smack the enemy.

Outta Sight: Bow will protect Mario for one turn and no attack can

damage

Mario. Using this will cost 2 FP. However, after you use this attack,

Bow

cannot attack for the next turn, so be sure to use it wisely.

Spook: Rewarded whenever Bow is upgraded to super rank. Bow will try to

scare

the crap out of all the enemies and make them run away at the expense

of 3 FP.

If enemies do run away from using this attack, you will not be credited

with

the Star Points. The Action Command for using this attack is to keep

pressing

left on the control stick to raise the meter as high as you can.

Fan Smack: Rewarded whenever Bow is upgraded to ultra Rank. This is

like smack,

except more powerful. Bow will do 2 HP for each smack instead of one.

Just like

her other attacks, the move's action command is to keep pressing lefton the

control stick to raise the damager meter. The higher the meter, the

more times

she will smack the enemy. This move requires 5 FP.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++

WATT


8/194


9/194

time.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++

SUSHI

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++

A fish that can seem to control the baby Yoshis on Yoshi's Island. You

can use Sushi to surf across water and when battling, his squirt attack

will

come useful against fire-type enemies inside LavaLava Island.

********

ATTACKS

********

Belly Flop: Sushi will Belly Flop himself onto an enemy, but he will be

hurt if

trying it against a spiked enemy (dead fish anybody)? To use this

attack, holdleft on the control stick until the big light is brightened up. Then

let go of

left and Sushi will then attack the enemy.

Squirt: This is an interesting squirting attack that uses up 3 FP. Now,

to use

this attack, you must hold A to raise the meter, but if the meter gets

100%

full, the meter goes down and you cannot control it. When the meter

gets to the

top, let go of A, but keep tapping A softly to make sure the meter

doesn't go

down and try to keep it as full as you can without making it go 100%.

The

higher the meter, the more damage Sushi will give out, and this is

great

against fire enemies.

Water Block: Sushi gets this attack when he is upgraded to Super Rank.

This is

like Turbo Boost, except with this attack, using 3 FP, you can upgrade

Mario's

defense for up to 4 turns. The action command is still the same: hit A

each

time a big light brightens up. Each time you get an action command

correctly,

you get another turn with upgraded defense.

Tidal Wave: A cool attack that uses 6 FP and Sushi will get this when

he is

upgraded to Ultra Rank. Sushi will attack all enemies on the screen

with a huge

tidal wave, and it does take some time to get used to the Action

Command. In

the top right, you will either see "A", "B" or "C-Down". Press the


10/194

corresponding button and then you'll see another button randomly

selected pop

up again. Each time you get an action command right, you will do

another HP of

damage.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++

LAKILESTER

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++

Nicknamed "Spike", he will join you, abandoning his girlfriend Lakilulu

in

Flower Fields. He can get you across lava pits and even spiked paths.

He's not

really worth much in battle, with the exception of Cloud Nine, which

protects

you against attacks. You need good accuracy in order to hit enemies

with

Lakilester.

********

ATTACKS

********

Spiny Flip: Kind of an annoying attack, because the action command can

get a

bit irritating. You can use this attack to toss a Spiny at the targeted

enemy.

Now, to use this attack, you need to aim the cursor at the enemy using

your

control stick and then press A (or do nothing and Lakilester will

automatically

throw it). If it hits, you do damage, if not, you miss.

Spiny Surge: Attacks all enemies on the screen with a minimal amount of

damages

by throwing out a ton of Spinies. This attack uses up 4 FP. The action

command

for this attack is to keep pressing left on the control stick to raise

up the

meter to 100%. The higher the meter, the more damage you will do to all

enemies.

Cloud Nine: Rewarded when Lakilester is upgraded to super rank, this

attack is

similar to Water Block and Turbo Boost, but with this attack, you canprotect

Mario in a cloud. This means that sometimes (but not all the time)

enemies will

fail to attack Mario. The action command is the same, by pressing A

each time a

big light is brightened up. Each time you do this, Mario is protected

for an

additional turn. This attack uses up 4 FP.


11/194

Hurricane: This is given to Lakilester upon upgrading him to ultra

rank.

Lakilester will try to create a hurricane to blow some, if not all

enemies off

the field, but if this is done, all enemies blown away will not give

you credit

for star points. You need 5 FP to use this attack. The action command

for this

attack is to keep tapping A and B to raise the meter. The higher the

meter, the

better chance you have of blowing the enemies away.

===============

4. Walkthrough

===============

Before all of these events happen, Bowser will go into Star Haven,

steal the

Star Rod, and capture all of the Star Spirits. But nobody in the

Mushroom

Kingdom knows this yet, and now he's set out for his next target:Princess

Peach.

The game starts with a scene outside Mario's house, where a flying

Koopa Troopa

comes and delivers mail. Luigi comes outside and brings the mail

outside. It is

a letter, so he decides to read it to Mario.

"I'm throwing a party at my castle today! Mario and Luigi, I would be

honored

if you both could attend. Many guests from distant towns are hoping to

meet

you. There will be tasty sweets and all kinds of entertainment! I hope

to see

you there soon!

Sincerely, Peach"

After reading the letter, the two brothers will head to Peach's castle.

Don't

worry, the game will automatically take you inside. Luigi will stay in

the

center room, but you on the other hand can go out and explore the rest

of the

first floor. But head upstairs and go through the door. On the second

floor,

you can take either staircase to get to the door on the top. What'sreally

interesting on this floor is the guard guarding Peach's room. If you

talk to

him enough times, he'll let you in and you can go through Peach's stuff.

Once you're done, head up the stairs and go through the door at the

top. You'll

find a lone Toad in this room who enjoys the peace and quiet here.

Anyway, head


12/194

right and go up the stairs. At the top, enter the door and you'll be in

another

straight hallway. Just head right and find Peach. She'll say how sweet

it was

of you to see her...Aw...that's blind love. Now, she'll invite you to

hang out

with her on her balcony.

Holy crap, an earthquake! It switches to an outside view and Peach's

castle is

suddenly uplifted by another castle. Hm, those evil eyes, the clown

smile,

swinging ball 'n' chains, it's all good, but it's Bowser's castle! Once

you're

high in the sky, Peach will ask you if you're ok. Moments later, Bowser

rudely

smashes through the window with Kammy and Mario will act like a tough

guy in

front of him.

BOSS: BowserHP: ???

Attack: 10

Defense: 0

There's nothing much you can do in this battle. Just jump on him and

he'll hit

you back. After you two exchange hits again, jump on him and he'll

start

ranting and pull out his trusty Star Rod to become invincible. At this

point it

should say "you lose", but the game lets you continue until Bowser

eventually

knows you out. Your jumps won't do anything, and Bowser's powered up

too. After

two more jumps, he'll end his misery by launching a flamethrower at

you. Then

Bowser kicks you out the window with a zap from the Star Rod and then

you fall

miles and miles down.

Prologue: A Plea from the Stars

Mario has been beaten brutally and is pretty much near death, but can

anyone

have a final say in what happens?

---------------

Goomba Village

---------------

With Mario lying on the ground, the seven (weak) star spirits appear

and try to

resurrect Mario with the little power they have left. Then they

disappear off.


13/194

So, a female Goomba will come in and found out someone fell from the

sky. She

examines Mario and then freaks out when he doesn't get up. Mario will

be in a

bed and one of the Star Spirits comes in to try to encourage him to

wake up and

tell you to meet him at the Shooting Star Summit, and then disappear

again.

Now Mario will wake up in what seems like a rather uncomfortable bed

(no

blankets or pillows? Goombas must be on a cheap budget these days). You

and

Toad will have a little chat and you'll be free to get out here. Jump

on the

step and open the door. From here, head down until you find the path.

Follow it

and you'll find Goompapa next to the gate. Talk to him and he'll say he

needs

to fix the gate. Now open the door to get in the house. Goomba, the

Goombagrandmother is here, but open the door in the other side of the room.

Talk to

Goompa (grandfather) and then go back in the house. Leave this house

and go

outside.

Goombario will tell you that dad fixed the gate so you're free to get

out of

here. Talk to Goompapa and he'll try to let you through, but Kammy

comes and

destroys the gate by putting a yellow block on it. Now we need to find

a

different way out. Goompapa is now pissed and you'll need the hammer

from

Goompa. Go back inside the house and go to where Goompa was working on

the

balcony.

Cool, Mario's floating in mid-air! Then he remembers what room he was

in and

then floats down to the ground. Now, hop off the ledge and head down

south to

find Goompa. Mario reminds him of the hammer, so we have to go look for

it.

Head left and take the path to the next room. This is where the hammer

is. It

is hidden behind a bush. To find it instantly, go to the Save Block.Head left

from the Save Block to get to a light green bush. Examine it (press A)

to find

the hammer. If you want to, examine the rest of the bushes here for

coins. The

brick block next to the Save Block has coins you can get if you keep

using the

hammer on the block.


14/194


15/194

hurt yourself jumping on them. Jumping on a ParaGoomba will clip their

wings so

they will no longer be able to fly, thus turning into normal Goombas.

In this

area, keep jumping up the steps and you'll find another path leading up

and to

the left. Jump up these steps and head all the way left. Smash the tree

for a

coin and continue left until you find a Star Piece. Pick it up. These

won't do

anything now, but they'll be valuable for swapping badges. Now jump off

the

ledge and continue going all the way right, fighting the enemies until

you get

to the next area.

You'll be back in Goomba Village. Goompa will open the gate and you'll

be free

to go. If you got the Princess Peach doll, Goombario will ask to give

it to his

sister, Goombaria. Give it to her and she'll give you a kiss and a StarPiece.

Now Goompa will come out with a badge and give it to you. If you're new

to this

game, he'll teach you how to equip and de-equip badges (go to Start,

badges

tab, select the badge and press A to equip/de-equip it).

Now, after some more talking, Goombario will join your team. Now two

people can

fight during battle! Hit the save block, rest in the Toad house, smash

the tree

for a Goomnut, smash the hammer, and be on your way.

------------

Goomba Road

------------

The first thing you'll notice here is the sign. Examine it to read

about the

Goombas, then the one on the sign peels itself off to attack you.

Continue

heading right, mowing down the Goombas as you go. Hit the "?" blocks

you see

for coins. At the end of the path, head right into the next area. In

here, head

a little to the right to find a red "?" block. Hit it to get the "Close

Call"badge. It requires 1BP and if you put it on, enemies may miss you when

you're

in "danger" (5 HP or lower). So, I don't see why not to put this badge

on. To

the right of a block is a sign with a Mushroom, so examine it to get

the

Mushroom.


16/194

Continue heading east, mowing down the Goombas as you go. Hit the heart

block

at the end of the path and then go into the next area. In this area,

head a

little right and at the spring, a red and a blue Goomba will stop you.

Time for

a mini boss fight.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++

MINI BOSS: Red and Blue Goomba

Red Goomba: HP: 7, Attack: 1, Defense: 0

Blue Goomba: HP: 6, Attack 1, Defense: 0

This is a straightforward battle. Both can only do 1 HP of damage

toward you.

My suggestion is to aim for one of the Goombas first, so you don't have

to deal

with two attacks coming at you every turn. You can also use Power Jump

to help

speed up this battle and finish the Goomba Bros. off faster. After youfinish

off one Goomba, you may have to heal. Just keep attacking them with

both Mario

and Goombario and you'll win this fight easily.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++

After the fight, both Goombas will whine and tattle-tale you on the

king.

Before bouncing on the spring, go save using the save block to the

right. Now

bounce up to the higher ledge and continue right into the next area.

The sign

has a mushroom on it, but examining it will turn the Mushroom into a

Goomba if

you want a fight. All you need to do here is follow the path into the

next

area.

You'll see a cut-scene of Red and Blue Goomba crying to the Goomba King

about

you. In that little cardboard castle of his, King Goomba will come out

and

talk. Now you will have a boss fight.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!BOSS: King Goomba, Red Goomba, Blue Goomba

King Goomba: 10 HP, Attack: 1, Defense: 0

Red and Blue Goomba: 2 HP, Attack: 1, Defense: 0

Goombario suggests you take out the Goomba Bros. first. This is a good

idea.

But you can take both of them out immediately. See that tree? Attack it

using


17/194

your hammer and a nut will fall out of the tree, hitting the Goomba

King, Red

Goomba, and Blue Goomba for 3 HP each, thus knocking out the Goomba

Bros. Now,

if you have below 5 HP, it's highly recommended you heal, because the

King can

shake the ground and have a nut fall on you for 2 HP. Now, from here on

out,

just take down the Goomba King and you'll get his health down to 0.

After this fight, you're likely to get a level-up (assuming you've

fought

enough Goombas previously). Choose HP as your first upgrade

(recommended by

me).

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!

After the fight, hit the tree with your hammer and a Star Piece will

fall out,

so collect it. Now go south from the castle and you'll fight twobushes.

Examine the lighter one and a switch will come out. Jump on it and then

the

Goomba King will tell you not to hit a switch if you find one. Too

late. His

castle falls apart and he springs into outer space. Cross the bridge on

the

right side of the castle. Before going into the next area, head south

and walk

around the fence. Head left to find a brick block. Smash it with your

hammer

and a "?" block will appear. Hit it for a Super Shroom. Now, go back

around the

fence and head right into the area.

It appears Kammy was spying on you. Save and Continue and then we'll

get a cut-

scene out of Peach's castle.

PEACH'S CASTLE

Kammy will tell Bowser you beat the Goomba King and he'll ramble about

how

pathetic the King was. Now the Koopa Bros. come in and after talking to

Bowser,

they'll show Bowser their secret move off-screen. After, Bowser asks

the Koopa

Bros. who's guarding the Star Spirit at their Fortress, and thenthey'll say no

one is. Bowser flips out on them and they run off.

BACK TO THE MAIN ADVENTURE

You're in the next area now. Head right down the steps and hit the "?"

block at

the bottom for a sleepy sheep. Before stepping into Toad Town, smash

the tree


18/194

to make a spring come out. Bounce on the spring to get on the roof of

the

building. Open the chest at the end for the Hammer Throw Badge. Now

jump off

the roof and continue into Toad Town.

----------

Toad Town

----------

A Toad will greet you upon stepping into the area. If you want to

backtrack to

Goomba Village, you'll find Chuck Quizmo there. He is a person who

loves

quizzes and each time you answer one of his questions correctly, you

win a Star

Piece. He won't be at Goomba Village all the time. His locations are

completely

random, so don't hesitate to try his quiz whenever you come across him.

In Toad

Town, head right to find a building with a Fire Flower on it. These areshops.

In the shops, you can buy items, as well as store items to conserve

room and

get them back anytime you want.

Fright Jar (5 coins)

Sleepy Sheep (10 coins)

POW Block (5 coins)

Fire Flower (10 coins)

Honey Syrup (10 coins)

Mushroom (5 coins)

To the right of the shop is the fighting dojo, where you can practice

battling

(you don't get any star points for winning and dying will not cause a

game

over). But each time you defeat someone, you'll get a degree. You can't

battle

right now, as the Master is out. Just head right into the next area and

you'll

be at the center of the town. Smash the first tree you see for a Star

Piece.

You'll need to go into the house with the spinning roof, but you can't

get in

there right now. There is also a Toad Town newspaper here. The front

side

contains info about what's going on, while the back is just gossipwritten by

other unknown people.

To your right is the Post Office and the Toad House, but you can't do

much in

the Post Office, except read letters that are written to your partners.

Leave

here and head up north through the gate. You'll be in the area where

Princess


19/194

Peach's castle used to stand tall here. Head right into the next area.

---------------------

Shooting Star Summit

---------------------

When you step into this area, head right over the bridge and take the

lower

path. In this area, enter the house. On the bottom floor, you'll find

Meluvlee,

who is a fortune teller and can tell you locations of badges (20

coins), Star

Pieces, (5 coins), and Super Blocks (30 coins). The chest next to her

is a

"transfer chest" from here to Peach's castle. Whenever Peach puts a

badge

inside the chest, is gets transferred here. If you go through the door

and head

upstairs, you'll find a man named Merlow. This is where your Star

Pieces come

in handy. You can trade them for badges here:

Attack FX A (1 Star Piece)

Pay-Off (1 Star Piece)

Chill Out (3 Star Pieces)

Pretty Lucky (5 Star Pieces)

Feeling Fine (5 Star Pieces)

Happy Heart (8 Star Pieces)

Happy Flower (8 Star Pieces)

Peekaboo (10 Star Pieces)

Zap Tap (10 Star Pieces)

Heart Finder (12 Star Pieces)

Flower Finder (12 Star Pieces)

HP Drain (15 Star Pieces)

Money Money (20 Star Pieces)

Flower Saver (25 Star Pieces)

Flower Plus (25 Star Pieces)

Merlow holds crucial badges, like Chill Out and Feeling Fine. The one

you

should absolutely get is Peekaboo. Save your Star Pieces and when you

get at

least 10, come back and get it (it lets you see enemy HP without

Tattle, great

for developing strategies).

Now, leave this place once you're done. Go left into the previous area

and thistime, take the upper path. You'll see a set of steps, but before going

on them,

go up north and round the bend to find a Star Piece. Now go back and

start

jumping up the steps until you get to the top, where you'll meet seven

extremely weak Star Spirits (which are illusions). After they finish

chatting,

the game asks if you want to save.


20/194

PEACH'S CASTLE

Inside the castle, Peach is worried of what is happening, and then

Bowser and

Kammy come in to just shove everything down her throat. Shortly, a star

knocks

on her window and Peach lets her in. The star is Twink. They'll start

talking

to each other and Peach will tell Twink to go find Mario, lending him a

Lucky

Star. Now Twink sets off to find you and the scene ends with Peach

saying

"Mario...Where are you..."


You'll be at the base of the Shooting Star Summit. Head west and cross

the

bridge and Twink will bump into you. He'll lend you the Lucky Star,

which

allows you to do the Action Command in battle. Twink will also explain

how it

is used (for the Action Command to jump, hit A just before jumping onthe enemy

and for the hammer, hold left on the analog stick until the big star is

lighted, and then release). You can also dodge with Action Command (hit

A right

before enemy strikes) to do one less HP.

After the lecture, a Magikoopa comes to fight. Just consider this a

little

scrimmage battle. The Magikoopa has 11HP and jumping on him will cause

him to

lose his broom. Watch out for his magic blast, because it does 3 HP

(the sound

effect is awesome though). Just practice the Action Command here and

he'll be

gone in no time.

Now head left from here to where Peach's castle was. Head south through

the

gate. As soon as you go through it, the Toad next to you will tell you

Merlon

was looking for you. Try to enter the house with the spinning roof and

Merlon

will tell you he's not available. Enter again and he'll come out to

find you

knocked out on the ground. He'll invite you in and after a long, long

story,

he'll tell you to go to the Koopa Bros. Fortress, which is east fromhere. Head

east from the Toad House and you'll notice 4 oddly colored Toads

blocking the

way. Talk to tell and they'll tell you it's dangerous and they won't

let you

through. To solve this, go back to Merlon's house.

Now, don't pay him coins to talk to him, what you have you do is WALK

AROUND


21/194

THE TABLE AND TALK TO HIM. Now follow him back to where the Toads were

and

he'll reveal who the four rather suspicious looking Toads are. They're

the

Koopa Bros! They'll quickly storm off. Save your game with the save

block near

you, and then follow them and a new chapter will begin.

Oh yeah, the Toad Town Dojo is now open. I only recommend fighting the

first

two trainers at this part of the game. Here is an overview of the Toad

Town

Dojo. Skip this part if you don't want to go inside.

#######################################################################

########

TOAD TOWN DOJO

#######################################################################

########

These will review the 5 bosses of the Dojo. You must fight them in thisorder,

no matter how strong or weak you are. Each time you beat one, you get a

degree

card, and it upgrades upon each battle.

DOJO BATTLE #1: Chan

HP: 15

Attack: 2

Defense: 2

Chain is just a Buzzy Beetle with little strength. Like Koopa Troopas,

a jump

attack will flip him over and put his defense on 0. He will get up the

next

turn, but won't attack. Just flip him over with Mario and use your

partner

(preferably Goombario) to drain his HP. Or you can do it the other away

around.

And if you do find a way for him to attack, all he does his shell toss

Mario

for 2 HP. As long as you don't make any really bad mistakes, he won't

touch

you. Beating him will give you the first degree card.

DOJO BATTLE #2: Lee

HP: 20

Attack: 5

Defense: 0Lee is a Duplighost. His default attack is that he can ram you for 5

HP. He can

also transform into your partner and obtain his abilities. If you're

fighting

him and you're at a low level, bring 2 or 3 healing items. With you and

your

partner, you can do up to 4 HP a turn, barring any badges you use

(which would


22/194

increase the amount of damage, I'd hope). After a few turns, he may

turn back

to his own self and then attack you. Defeating Lee will give you the

second

degree card.

DOJO BATTLE #3: The Master I

HP: 50

Attack: 6

Defense: 0

His only attack is that he'll punch you for 6 HP. I can beat him after

the

first chapter most of the time. If you use Shrink Stomp, you can cut

his

attack in half, which will help greatly. But he isn't that hard. Just

attack

him with your best attacks every turn and heal when needed. Beating him

will

give you your third degree card. Only use Shrink Stomp if you want to

beat himby the time you finish Chapter 1.

DOJO BATTLE #4: The Master II

HP: 75

Attack: 8

Defense: 0

This time, the Dojo Master will punch you for 8 HP, and he'll also try

to do a

double attack on you. You can prevent the double attack by equipped the

Zap Tap

Badge. You'll probably need to heal more often here. Smooch and Star

Storm also

work good. Also, Goombario + Charge + Multibonk = automatic win.

Now you get your fourth degree card.

DOJO BATTLE #5: The Master III

HP: 99

Attack: 10

Defense: 1

Now, if you want to win, you absolutely need Zap Tap here. He will do a

triple

attack for 19 HP, and he'll also punch you for 10 HP. When he tries to

do the

triple attack, the badge Zap Tap will hurt him for 1 HP and stop himfrom doing

a triple attack. Just attack with your best attacks, use Smooch and

Star Storm

to help you out, and as always, Goombario + Charge + Multibonk = god.

Beating

him the 5th time around will give you the Diploma, proving you are

stronger

than the Master.

Chapter 1: Storming Koopa Bros. Fortress

Free to leave Toad Town, we can defeat the Koopa Bros. and rescue the

first

Star Spirit. We'll also be joining up with two new partners.

--------------

Pleasant Path

--------------

You'll find Koopas on this path. To damage them, jump on them to flip

their

shell over and then their defense goes to 0. Same thing withParaKoopas. Double

jumping a ParaKoopa will flip it on its shell.

Now, head right, fighting each enemy you pass. Hit the first "?" block

for a

coin and continue right. You'll get to a red "?" block. Hit it to get

the Dizzy

Attack Badge. It's not worth much, so I don't recommend putting it on.

Head

right and get the Fright Jar out of the last "?" block and then head

right into

the next area. Take out the Koopa and hit the "?" block for a POW

Block. Then

smash the tree to make a switch fall out. Hit the switch and a bridge

will

form. Cross the bridge and continue right until you come to a set of

steps.

Keep jumping up them (take out the Koopa), and at the top, head into

the next

area.

Upon walking into this area, you'll see a set of steps in front of you.

Before

going down them, notice the three blue striped poles behind you.

There's a

Sleepy Sheep behind the one on the right (you'll want this later).

Anothertrick is if you want unlimited hearts, run around the left pole (the

one that's

looking at you), and it'll keep spitting out hearts. Head down these

steps. At

the bottom of the steps, you'll come across 3 bricks in the form of a

triangle.

Hit them in this order: left, right, top. A red "?" block will appear.

Hit it


24/194

for the Attack FX B Badge. It requires no BP, so put it on to add

additional

sound effects when you attack enemies. Continue right into Koopa

Village.

--------------

Koopa Village

--------------

Now, you've got the psycho ants-in-my-pants music playing when you walk

in

here. The front Koopa is explaining Fuzzies have stolen the Koopa

shells, and

it's up to us to save them. Then a Fuzzy bounces out of nowhere and

strips him

of his shell. Just whack the fuzzy with your hammer to give him his

shell back.

Notice the Fuzzies bouncing around here? If you somehow hit them, they

go away

and you get a coin in return. There are also two Koopa shells you can

get inhere. Jump on the brick block to get one for the Koopa and smash the

tree to

get the shell for the other one. Now head right into the next area,

where there

are more Fuzzies causing trouble. A Fuzzy's got a shell in the dirt

patch, but

he's not easy to catch. The trick to getting to him is to slowly sneak

up on

him.

You can find the last shell on a checkerboard like grid. Push the blue

block to

the middle square so it is directly beneath the brick block that has

the shell.

Then jump on the block and jump to get the shell. Well, we've saved all

of

them, except...

Wow, that's quite a racket in the house with a green shelled roof. When

you try

to open it, another Koopa, named Kooper, will try to come out and now a

Fuzzy

has robbed his shell. Go into his house and the Fuzzy will get away

through the

back door. Just keep following the shell until you get to an area with

four

trees. Now we play the guessing game. Four Fuzzies will be bouncingaround in

the trees; one has Kooper's shell. Now, hit the tree that has Kooper's

shell.

You must do this two more times, but it gets more difficult. After you

hit the

correct Fuzzy three times, you get the shell back.

Afterwards, Kooper will get his shell back and he'll ask if he can join

the


25/194

party. Say yes of course. Now you've got a new friend. Try to leave

this place

and then the four Fuzzies will want a battle. All of them have 3 HP.

The

easiest way to win is just use a Fire Flower on them to burn them into

oblivion. Otherwise, you'll need to take them out one by one, but watch

out. If

they attack you, they'll do 1 HP to you AND recover one HP. Once you

deal with

them, head left and cross the bridge. At the end of the bridge, head

left and

you'll see a few tree stumps, and one of them has a badge.

Jump on the highest stump and use Kooper's shell toss (C-Down) to

snatch it. It

is a HP Plus Badge, which increases your HP by 5 when you wear it

(taking it

off loses the 5 HP). Go back into Kooper's House and then into Koopa

Village.

Remember that shell that was on a brick block above the checkerboard?

It hasbeen replaced by a Star Piece. Put the blue block under the middle one

to get

it.

Before leaving Koopa Village, there's one more thing we should do. To

the right

of Kooper's House is Koopa Koot's house, an old Koopa who asks for

favors.

Let's do her first two favors right here. Her first favor is to grab

the "Koopa

Legends" book from Kolorado's wife. Her house is to the left of

Kooper's. Ask

her for it and she'll give it to you. Bring it back to Koopa Koot for 1

(!!!)

coin. Of course, she has better prizes. Her next favor is for a Sleepy

Sheep.

You remembered to get the one on Pleasant Path, didn't you? If not, go

back and

get it. If so, just hand it to her right now and she'll give you 1 coin

and a

Silver Credit Card, which allows you to play games in the Toad Town

playroom

(I'll explain this later).

Now, let's leave Koopa Village. One last thing - if you saw Chuck

Quizmo in

Goomba Village, there's a good chance you'll see him here on your wayout.

Also, at the shop, pick up a Fire Flower. If you don't have a POW

Block, get

one here too (DON'T USE EITHER OF THESE). Now, here's the item list

here:

Dizzy Dial (10 coins)

POW Block (4 coins)

Fire Flower (8 coins)


26/194

Honey Syrup (8 coins)

Volt Shroom (15 coins)

Mushroom (4 coins)

Save before leaving and head back onto Pleasant Path.

--------------

Pleasant Path

--------------

Back on the Pleasant Path, jump back up all the steps. At the top,

continue

right and cross the bridge into the next area. You'll see a few coins

on the

ground. If you try to go near them, a Koopa ambushes you from the bush,

so take

him out at your leisure. Before jumping down the steps, go right

towards the

end of the ledge. You'll see a Thunderbolt on the brick block. Use

Kooper's

shell toss to knock out the block and then you can pick up the item,but watch

out for the Spiked Goomba. Once you have the Thunderbolt, continue

right. Read

that cheesy sign that says "No entry allowed, Mario! Yours truly, the

Koopa

Bros."

Let's put an end to that. Use Kooper's shell toss to send him over the

water to

activate the switch across from you. This will form a bridge. You might

want to

switch to Goombario to fight the Parakoopas here. Now, after crossing

the

bridge, notice the gap in between the two brick blocks. Jump in the

middle and

a Fire Flower will come out of a hidden block. Now grab it and head

right into

the next area. Smash the first tree you see and a Star Piece will come

out, so

grab it. Fight all of the Koopas and Parakoopas here. If you've fought

enough

enemies, you should have a level up here. My recommendation is Flower

Points,

since you're probably sick of having to use FP recovering items every

time you

use a special move (like Power Jump or Power Shell).

Once you've eliminated all the enemies, head all the way right until

you get to

a Heart Block. Hit it and then head right into the next area. You'll be

greeted

by a big picture of the Koopa Bros. Fortress. Save, and then head

towards the

doors. A Koopa Bro will come outside and notice you're right there, and

then

jump back inside to warn the others. Let's go follow him inside.


27/194

---------------------

Koopa Bros. Fortress

---------------------

As soon as you enter the fortress, walk around the bend to find a lone

Koopa.

This fight is mandatory, as he possess a key. Now, you'll also fight a

Bob-omb.

These are trick to handle. If you damage them, they will get angry and

will

explode on them the next turn. To prevent this from happening, use

Kooper's

shell toss or the hammer to destroy them before they explode (jumping

on them

while they're lighted up will damage you). After the fight is over,

pick up the

key and unlock the door. Now go through it.

In this room, take out both Bob-ombs and open the door at the other

side ofthis room. In here, you'll find a Koopa Bros. locking up a key, and

then he'll

bolt off once he sees you. Continue going right. Halfway across the

room,

you'll find a Koopa trapped in a room with a badge. Or is he? He'll

come out

from the right side. Defeat him. Now go where the Koopa came out of the

wall

from (go up until you bump into a wall). Hold left and you'll slip it.

Pick up

the Power Bounce badge. It allows you to keep jumping on an enemy until

you

miss an action command, which is pretty useful.

Now, slip through the right wall again and continue right, where you'll

find

another key locked up. Take out the last Koopa and go through the door.

In this

room, head right and you'll find a Koopa. This is a mandatory battle,

but watch

out. There are also three Bob-ombs in this fight, so take out Kooper.

After you

win the battle, a blue "!" switch falls to this floor. Hit it and the

staircase

will lower to your right, so go down the stairs.

At the bottom of the stairs, you'll find a door to your right. Don't goin it,

because you really can't do much in that room. Heal with whatever items

you

have and head left. When you find an opening, go through it. In this

room, both

openings will bounce up, so there's no escape. To get out of this room,

you

must battle all Koopas in here. After you've defeated all three, both

openings


28/194

will lower to the ground. Take the one on the left. In this room, head

all the

way left to the other side of the room, jumping over the fires. At the

end of

the room, pick up the key. Now, here's a trick with the rotating fires.

If you

keep jumping over them, they'll go faster and faster, and then explode

into

coins.

Now, leave this room and backtrack to the staircase. When you get back

to the

staircase, head up it and then go right. You'll find a locked door, so

use the

key to unlock it. After opening the door, you'll be greeted by the

scene of one

of the Koopa Bros. building a trap for you. Once you do enter this

room, go up

the rotating and steep slope. At the top, you'll find a door and the

"?" block

the Koopa Bros. was building. Hit the "?" block and the floor beneathyou will

open, making you fall into the prison. The Koopa Bros. who built the

trap will

come back in and mock you.

Looks like you and a few bob-ombs are trapped in this prison, including

Bombette. Hey look, a Heart Block! Now, talk to the pink Bob-Omb,

Bombette.

After talking, she'll ask if she can join the party. As always, say

yes. Then

she'll walk up to a cracked wall and tell you she can blow it up. Using

C-Down,

use her to block up the wall and escape out of prison. When you escape

the

prison, head right the bend and a Koopa will come in and see what the

noise is

all about. You'll need to fight him and two Bob-ombs. Don't worry,

Bombette's

Bomb attack will not hurt her or Mario when attacking a lighted Bob-

omb,. After

the fight, go left and use the door to get out of this room.

You'll be next to the staircase again. Head up the staircase. At the

top, go

left and enter the door. In this room, use Bombette to blow up the

cracked wall

and then get the Fortress Key. Now go back through the door. In here,open the

door at the other side of the room. Instead of going up the slope, head

down

and you'll find a set of double doors. Open them and you'll be outside.

This is

the most random Save Block you'll find in the game if you ask me. Now

go back

inside and head right, where you'll find a cracked wall. Use Bombette

to blow


29/194

it up and go through the opening and you'll be back outside.

Open the chest to get the Refund badge. Whenever you use an item in

battle,

you'll earn a few coins. It's a pretty fun badge to use. Go back

inside. Back

in here, go all the way up to the steep slope until you get to the top.

At the

top, open the door to your left. In this room, head left and open the

locked

door at the other side of this room. Before doing anything in this

room, switch

to Kooper. Head down the stairs and use Kooper's shell toss to hit the

switch.

This will cause the platforms to slide out and the walls to cave you

in. Cross

both gray stoned platforms until you get to the next barrier. Use shell

toss to

hit the switch, closing the stone platforms and causing the barriers to

retreat. Do the same exact thing for the next "!" switch and then

you'll comeacross a staircase.

Jump up the staircase and open the door. In here, go down and left and

you'll

find a blue "!" switch. Take out the Koopa and hit the switch. This

will cause

a staircase to lower. Go down the staircase and switch to Bombette. Use

her to

blow up the cracked wall. Go through the opening and get the key. Now

leave

this room, head back up the stairs, and then use the key to open the

locked

door. In this room, follow the path to a "!" switch and hit it. This

will make

the staircase in the water rise up to the level you are at, also waking

up both

of the Koopas. Defeat both of them and then jump up the stairs.

At the top of the stairs, go up the steep and rotating slope. You'll

come

across a door, but ignore it for now. Just keep on heading up the

slope. At the

top, take out the Bob-omb and pick up the Smash Charge badge. It powers

up

Mario's hammer by two points each time it is used. Now go back down the

slope

and open the door, and you'll be back outside again. Head down thestairs and

all four Koopa Bros. will come out and use the cannons to attack you.

Before

going at them, go down the first staircase you see. Head down the

stairs and

blow up the rock with Bombette. Now hit the "?" block for Maple Syrup.

Go back

up the stairs.


30/194

Like this nice remix of the airship music from Super Mario Bros. 3?

Head all

the way right until you get to the cannons, dodging all of the Bullet

Bills

that are coming at you (don't try to fight them, they're pretty

useless). Once

you get to the cannons, don't fight them. GO down the stairs and use

the Heart

Block. Save while you're at it too.

Before fighting the cannons, here's a neat little trick. Get in front

of one of

the cannons (make sure it doesn't fire and don't get close enough to

start a

fight). Light up Bombette and she'll get a first strike on one of the

cannons,

automatically knocking it out.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++

MINI BOSS: Bill BlastersHP: 4

Attack: 0

Defense: 1

Like I said, using Bombette for a first strike will take out one of the

Bill

Blasters. If you use her bomb attack at 100%, it knocks out a cannon.

Also, its

defense is one, so jumping on it (unless you have power jump) is

useless. Use a

hammer, along with Bombette or Kooper to do damage. Now, they can't

directly

attack you, but every other turn, they'll release a Bullet Bill. Just

double

jump on them to knock them out, but if you don't, they'll annoy you for

2 HP of

damage. But if you want extra star points, feel free to take them out.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++

After the fight, take all the coins and go save. Also, leave Bombette

as your

partner and open the double doors.

Now, you'll be in an empty room with the Koopa Bros. They'll be trying

to sort

something out and will come after you with a mechanical Bowser. Theytry to

tell you it's real, but don't even fall for it. You must knock this out

before

fighting the Koopa Bros. First off, this thing's a wimp. 10 HP, a

defense and

attack of 1. Just hammer and bomb every turn and it'll be gone in 2

turns at

best (assuming both Bomb attacks are 100%). Now, to face the Teenage

Mutant


31/194

Ninja Turtles!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!

BOSS: Koopa Bros.

HP: 5 each

Defense: 1

Attack: 1

This is a great Super Mario Bros. 3 battle theme music remix.

If your partner finished off Bowser last, they will strike first with

their

spinning attack. The amount of damage they do corresponds to how many

Koopa

Bros. are attacking (in this case, it's 4 HP). If you get rid of a

Koopa

Brother, then it's 3 HP, and so on. Since they're always stacked in a

pile,

you'll need to hit them twice to knock them over. If you hit them once

whilethey're stacked up, they'll start shaking but they'll hold together,

and they

will balance themselves to attack you (unless you tip them over

completely).

Use a hammer and body slam to send them on their backs (jumping is

useless).

Now, they will remain on the ground for one turn, and then get back up,

but

they won't stack up on each other for another turn. Each one has 5 HP,

so you

can finish them one by one. And their defense goes to 0 when on their

back. If

they get back up, just jump on one of them to flip them over. Now, just

take

them out one bye one and you'll win easily.

There's another trick if you want to finish them off quickly. This

requires two

Fire Flowers or a Fire Flower and POW Block. When it's Mario's turn

(and all of

them are on their back, use one of the two items (the POW Block damages

all of

them for 2 HP, and 3 HP of damage for the Fire Flower). Now, you can

finish one

of them off with your partner. If it's been over a turn, they'll get up

(but

won't pile on each other). After, you can use either a POW Block/FireFlower

(depending on what you used earlier) and you'll win with flying colors.

After the fight, a card will come down with a Star Spirit. Run into it

and

he'll be rescued. Congratulations! You got your first Star Spirit! His

name is

Eldstar by the way.


32/194

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!

PRINCESS PEACH'S CASTLE

Save and Continue and then we'll get a cut scene at Peach's castle.

After Peach

and Twink talk, you'll be in control of her. If you try to leave the

room, the

guard will throw you back in. There's gotta be another way out, right?

Examine

the picture to the right of the fireplace and a switch will appear. Tap

it and

the fire will die down, showing you a secret passage. Enter the passage

and

you'll be in a dark hall. Now head left and hit the switch on the

ledge. The

floor you're on will rotate into another room. The door in here is

locked, so

we can't get out. I know! Let's read that diary!

Hm, this is awesome. Someone captured the star spirits, captured Peach,and

ranting about how Mario defeated the Koopa Bros. It also states that

rescuing

the next Star Spirit at Dry Dry Ruins will be an impossible feat for

Mario.

Great diary, but it's Bowser's! Then he comes in and finds you. I love

when the

guards come in, when Bowser takes it out on them thinking they let her

sneak

out of her room:

Bowser: You're the worst guards ever! Take Princess Peach back to her

room

immediately!

Guards: Yes sir!

Twink will hide and the guards take her away.


You will meet up with Eldstar outside the Koopa Bros. fortress. He will

power

you up by giving you star power, which allows you to use abilities from

the

star spirits. He'll teach you about how it works.

Eldstar's ability, Refresh, gives you 5 HP and 5 FP, but uses up one

full meterof star energy. But the star energy recovers little by little each

turn. If you

want to speed up the recovery, use Focus to boost up your star energy.

Each

time you rescue a Star Spirit, you earn another meter of star energy,

meaning

you can have 7 units of star energy. To use the Star Power, select

"Star

Spirits" when battling and pick which power you want to use.

Pleasant Path

--------------

After the lecture, it's time to head all the way back to Toad Town.

Make sure

Bombette is still out. From the Koopa Bros. Fortress, head left into

the next

area. After the Heart Block, you'll see a cracked wall. Blow it up with

Bombette and you'll reveal a warp pipe. Enter the pipe (jump on it and

press

Down on the analog stick). You'll be taken to a higher ledge. Head

right and

open the chest for a FP Plus. Now go back to the pipe. It's too high

for you to

jump onto, but you'll see an area on the ledge not guarded by a fence.

Fall

through here and you'll be back on the ground near the pipe.

Switch to Kooper and keep heading west on your way to Toad Town. Whenyou get

to the area with the three blue poles (one that had the unlimited

Hearts), head

left into the next area (this is to make sure you don't leave to Toad

Town

yet). Now back in this area, head down the steps. At the bottom, you'll

see a

set of steps leading to a different path. Take this path and you'll

find a dead

end. But across from you is a platform with a Star Piece. Use Kooper's

shell

toss to snatch it. Now get back on the main path and continue west

until you

get to Toad Town. You're just ready to go back in until Jr. Troopa

comes out

hiding from a bush, saying that he's back. He'll try to charge at you,

but will

end up falling in the water and climbing back up. He'll then ask you if

you

remember his name, and if you don't he gets a little pissed and then

fights you

(even if you say yes, you gotta fight him).

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++

MINI BOSS: Jr Troopa II

HP: 15Defense: 1

Attack: 2

Jr. Troopa will show off his new ability by being a wuss and hiding in

his

shell, increasing his defense by 1. His attack power has also increased

since

our last meeting, but don't let that bug you. If Bombette is your

partner, this


34/194

battle is a breeze. Use your hammer for 1 HP damage and use Bomb for 4

HP. This

adds up to 5 HP, 1/3 of his health. If you repeat this twice, he'll be

gone in

no time. Otherwise, use non-jumping attacks until you finally take him

town

(body slam/shell toss/hammer).

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++

Now, after the fight, just head left back into Toad Town.

----------

Toad Town

----------

Upon stepping into Toad Town, you'll talk to Twink and he'll tell you

the next

Star Spirit is in Dry Dry Ruins. Now go rest at the Toad House. If you

have 10

Star Pieces on you, go get Peekaboo from Merlow. From the Toad House,head

south and you'll be interrupted by a little kid, who tells you his dad

Rowf

opened up a badge shop and will have you check it out. There are 4

badges up

for sale, but you can only see three on display (it's random every

time). Right

now, there are two badges highly worth noting. I need you to get "D-

Down Pound"

for 75 coins. It's a badge that negates an enemy defense (let's say you

use a

hammer on an enemy with a defense of 1, so you'd do 1 HP. If you use D-

Down

Pound, it treats it if like the enemy has a defense of 0, so you'd do 2

HP.

Also get Speedy Spin if you like so you can spin and move faster (50

coins).

Also, here is a list of the badges that can be purchased at this shop:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~

From the badge shop, head down south into the next area. The house to

your left

is Tayce T. She can make you recipes if you give her certain items. Forexample, giving her a Mushroom would give you a "Fried Shroom". But not

all

items work, and sometimes you'll have "Mistakes". For the recipes you

can look

at, check out the Recipes section.

***********************************************************************

********

SIDE QUEST

This next part is completely optional. If you want to skip it, just

meet me at

"Toad Town" From Tayce T's house, head south and you'll find two paths

to your

left. Take the lower path and you'll come across a warp pipe. Enter it

and

you'll be in Toad Town Tunnels.

------------------

Toad Town Tunnels

------------------

These are like the sewers of the Mushroom Kingdom. With only normal

boots and a

normal hammer, there's nothing much you can do here. But go right

across the

pipes and save your game. Smash the yellow block and head into the nextarea.

In this room, you'll find a blue Goomba called a "Gloomba". They just

have more

HP than a Goomba (seven) and an attack of two. At your level, they give

out

three or four star points each! Head right to the other side of the

room.

Notice the brick blocks in the back of the room. There is a gap between

two of


36/194

them. Jump in between this gap and you'll find a hidden block with a

Super

Shroom. Pick it up and go into the next room. BEFORE CROSSING THE

PIPES, SWITCH

TO GOOMBARIO Cross the pipes and a Blooper will appear.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++

MINI BOSS: Blooper

HP: 30

Attack: 3

Defense: 0

This should be a straightforward battle. Blooper has two attacks. One

is that

he'll spin on your head for 3 HP. Another one is that he'll squirt ink

at you

for 3 HP. You'll need to heal often, since you probably don't have a

lot of HP

at this point of the game. Use your best attacks if you've got the

badges on,otherwise, just keep having you and Goombario jump on him for 4 HP a

turn,

healing when needed. If you have Power Jump or Power Bounce on, go for

it.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++

After the fight, go right and open the chest for a Shrink Stomp Badge.

This

badge has a chance of shrinking the enemy when you hit them, thus

decreasing

their attack. From here, backtrack all the way to the pipe you used to

enter

the Toad Town Tunnels and you'll be back in Toad Town.

***********************************************************************

********

----------

Toad Town

----------

From Tayce T's house, head all the way down south until you find a path

into

the next area. Before taking the path, notice the flower on the grass

to your

right. Uproot it using A and a Bub-ulb will pop out. He'll give you a

FlowerSeed you can plant in the Toad Town garden. Planting four seeds will

open the

door to Flower Fields, but they're scattered all over the game. The

Toad Town

garden is to the east of Rowf's badge shop. Now head south into the

next area.

In this area, get on the grass to your left and smash the tree and a

pipe will


37/194

come out. This pipe leads to the Toad Town Playroom, where you can play

2 games

and gamble your coins.

*******************

TOAD TOWN PLAYROOM

*******************

If you have either a silver or a gold credit from doing Koopa Koot

favors, show

the Toad behind the counter. He'll open up the Jump Attack game if you

have the

silver credit or the Smash Attack game if you have the gold credit. If

you have

the gold credit but never unlocked the Jump Attack Game, don't worry,

it'll

also open up the Jump Attack Game.

+++++++++++++++++

JUMP ATTACK GAME

+++++++++++++++++

You need the silver credit to get here and this is the warp pipe on the

left.

The point of the game is to smash 5, 7, or 9 brick blocks without

finding

Bowser in one of them. You can find these in the brick blocks that

appear in

the game.

Coin - this gives you one coin

5 coins - this gives you five coins

X5 coins - this multiplies your coin total by 5

Bowser - if you get this, game over. Any coins you have accumulated

will be

lost.

It costs 10 coins to play here.

Note that winning on 9 block smash doubles your coin total.

++++++++++++++++++

SMASH ATTACK GAME

++++++++++++++++++

You need the gold credit to get here and this is the warp pipe on the

right.

The point of this game is to smash the blocks with your hammer to find

all ten

Peach panels before you run out of time. You have 30 seconds to find

all of


38/194

them. Some boxes may not contain anything. Sometimes you'll find a

Fuzzy in a

box, and you'll need to tap A and get the meter to 100% to get rid of

it. Other

ones may contain bob-ombs, which will stun you for a few seconds. Also

some

boxes may not have anything.

From time to time, the panels will jump out of the boxes, so you'll

know which

ones to hit and which ones not to. But not all panels jump out of their

boxes,

so you'll need to be lucky when smashing some others. If you find all

ten Peach

tiles within 30 seconds, the amount of coins you win is 10 times the

amount of

time on the clock left (so if you won the game with 4.3 seconds left,

you'd win

43 coins).

From the pipe, continue heading down south and you'll find a railroad.Unfortunately, there is a rock blocking the way. Have Bombette blow it

up and

then the railway will be in service. Take the train to Mt. Rugged,

where the

next chapter begins.

Chapter 2: The Mystery of Dry Dry Ruins

Now, we'll get another partner on the team and get even a hammer

upgrade in

this chapter, as we continue our mission to rescue the star spirits.

-----------

Mt. Rugged

-----------

Once you depart here, save your game with the save block on the right.

Also,

two the left of the save block are four bushes. Examine the top one for

an Egg,

which recovers 5 HP. Now head up north and jump up all the steps.

You'll find a

heart block at the top. Go right and you'll collide with Parakarry, who

seems

to be looking for three lost letters, and it's up to you to help himout. If

you get all three letters, he'll join the party. Now head right into

the next

area.

You'll find the most annoying enemies here called Clefts. They have 2

HP, but a

defense of 2 as well. Like I said, this is why you need D-Down Pound.


39/194

Bombette's Bomb is the only thing other than that which can damage him

too.

There are also Monty Moles that pop out of the ground, but they're not

much of

a problem. Now head right and jump up the steps you'll find. At the

top, head

right and you'll find two paths. One leads right and the other is a

staircase

going down. Go down the staircase first. Hit the "?" block for a Sleepy

Sheep

and smash the yellow block on the left. If you go left, you'll find

Whacka, who

will give you the excellent Whacka's Bump for giving you him a

concussion (it

restores 25HP AND 25FP). You can get as many as you want, but only once

per

visit.

Now go back up the stairs and continue heading right. Save and then

continue

right. You'll come to an open area luring with Monty Moles. Battle themif you

want, but continue right by going up the steps. At the top, continue

right and

jump up the ledges. You'll see a platform to your left that has a

letter. Use

Kooper's shell toss to snatch it (a letter to Merlon). Now jump up to

the next

platform and head right into the next area.

This is where you'll start finding Clefts. I forgot to mention they

disguise

themselves as rocks. When you step into the area, head right and jump

onto the

higher ground. Now go up the slope to your right. At the top, head left

and

you'll go into a cave like structure. See the two "windows" in front of

you?

Fall through the left window and you'll land on a platform with a Star

Piece.

Pick up the Star Piece and then go back up the slopes and head into the

cave

again. From here, just head left until you get into the next area.

There's

nothing much on this path. Just head left and press A to open the gate.

Go down

the slide and you'll be taken to a completely different area. Battle

the Cleftif you want and then head left into the next area.

Head left down the stairs and you'll find a Cleft and a "?" block. Get

the

Mushroom from the "?" block and go up the next set of stairs. Continue

all the

way left until you get to a gap. The gap is too big for you to cross,

but once


40/194

you get Parakarry, come back here to have him fly you over the gap to

get the

Star Piece. Next to the gap is a spring, but don't bounce up it yet.

Instead,

go inside the little cave to the right. You can see a little opening to

the

left inside the cave. Go in it and go up the slope. Open the chest at

the top

for the Damage Dodge badge. Now go back down the slope and bounce on

the

spring.

Smash the "?" block on the left for a coin if you want, and then head

right.

You'll find a gate, but if you want Honey Syrup, go down the path to

the right

and smash the "?" block for it. Now enter the gate and the slope will

take you

to another platform. Head right and you'll pick up your second letter

(this one

is for Kolorado, who you'll find shortly). Drop down to the ledge belowyou and

head right. Take the gate and slide down the slope. You'll be back in

the Monty

Mole hellhole. Go all the way right into the next area. Jump up the

slope

again. Back up here, go right instead of left and head into the next

area. The

gap is too wide for you to jump, so fall to the pit below. Take out the

cleft

and grab the third and final letter (for Goompapa; this letter starts a

long

chain letter series). With the final letter, bounce up the spring and

backtrack

all the way to where you find Parakarry (just keep on heading left).

Once you get back to Parakarry, deliver him the three letters and he'll

join

the party. Now, there are three things we can do now that we got

Parakarry.

QUAKE HAMMER BADGE - Go to where you found your first letter that you

snatched

with Kooper. To the left of the original platform with the letter has a

badge

on it. Have Parakarry fly you over both gaps to pick up the Quake

Hammer Badge.

MAGICAL SEED #2 - From the Quake Hammer Badge, head right into the next

area.

In here, jump up onto the higher ledge. Instead of going up the slope,

take the

path to the right. Have Parakarry fly you over the gap. Uproot the

flower and

you'll find a Bub-ulb. Talk to him for the Magical Seed.


41/194

STAR PIECE - Like I said earlier, go back to where you used the spring

to take

you to the second letter. Have Parakarry fly you over the gap to pick

up the

scattered coins and the Star Piece.

Once you have gotten all of those, go to where you found the third

letter. Have

Parakarry fly you over the gap. Once you cross the bridge, that bird in

the

background will halt you and ask you for your name. If you say "Mario"

or

"Princess Peach", you'll battle him. Saying "Luigi" skips the battle

for good.

But battle and sharpen up your skills.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++

MINI BOSS: Buzzar

HP: 40

Attack: 3Defense: 0

Buzzar has a few annoying attacks, but as long as you have a healing

item or

two, you should be fine. One of his attacks includes a wind attack,

which

attacks both you and your partner. The faster you tap A, the less

damage you

take (from 3 to 1 HP). The damage you take also resembles how many

turns your

partner will be knocked out for. Another attack is that he'll grab you

with his

claws. Tapping A will raise the meter and if the "Ok" tab falls in the

lighted

up part of the meter, you take no damage, otherwise you'll be damaged

for 4 HP.

Another attack includes biting you for 3 HP. He'll also throw needles

at you

for 2 HP.

Now, just keep jumping on him with your best jumping attacks. You'll

also need

Goombario or Parakarry. Parakarry's Shell Shot will work wonders here,

as it

does 5 HP when you hit him. Eventually, you'll bring him down. Just

heal

whenever you need to and mow him down with your best attacks.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

++++++++

After the fight (or if you choose not to fight, take the slope at the

end of

the path. Follow the path to the next area. In this area, head right

down the

steps and you'll find a Heart Block and a Save Block. Save and then

head east


42/194

into Dry Dry Desert.

---------------

Dry Dry Desert

---------------

The Dry Dry Desert is one of my favorite places in the games, because

you can

get a few badges, neat items, and even Star Pieces while getting plenty

of Star

Points. Dry Dry Desert is arranged in a 7 x 7 area. Upon entering this

area,

head right to the tent. Talk to Kolorado (with Parakarry out) and give

the

letter to him. He'll give you a Star Piece in return. Now head north

into the

next area. This area introduces Bandits. When they attack you, they

steal 10

coins from you. Attacking them back gives you the coins back, but if

you don't

attack them for a turn, they run off (if they're holding money). If youdodge

their attack, they won't steal money. In this area, you'll also see a

"?" block

that's already been hit. Smash this block and a "?" block will appear,

containing a Mushroom. Smash this block 10 times for a "?" block with a

Super

Shroom, and 100 times for a block with an Ultra Shroom.

After you get the three Mushrooms, head up north into the next area.

This area

seems to be empty, with the exception of a few rocks. But go towards

the east

exit. Jump on the rock next to the east exit. Now jump when you're on

the rock

and you'll find a hidden block with a Thunder Rage, an item that

damages all

enemies on screen for 5 HP. Now backtrack to where you met Kolorado.

Back in this area, take the southern exit. In this area, head down and

you'll

find a brick block. Keep jumping at it for coins. Battle the Bandits if

you

want, and then take the southern exit. There's absolutely nothing here.

Just

take the southern exit. You'll be in the extreme SW corner of the

desert. There

are Pokeys here. They got 4 HP and jumping on them will hurt you, soyou'll

need anything but Goombario and jumpin. Take the east exit once you're

done.

There's nothing in here, but wait. What's with that rock in the middle

of the

area. If you jump on the rock and jump, a hidden block comes out,

containing

the Attack FX C Badge. It requires no BP, so equip it for more SX when

battling. When you're done in this area, take the north exit.


43/194

There is a Bandit and a Pokey here, but nothing else. Battle them if

you want

and then take the east. This area has 3 brick blocks, but the

northernmost one

has coins in it. Grab the coins and then take the east exit. You've got

cacti

and Pokeys here. Battle them if you want and take the east exit. This

are has

interesting blue cacti AND a whirlwind. If you walk into the whirlwind,

you'll

land next to a Spin Attack Badge. Pick it up and then jump off the

rock. Take

the north exit.

You'll be back on the main path. Ignore/fight the Bandit and take the

west

exit. You'll find a Nomadimouse here. Remember where he is, as you'll

have a

letter for him later. Take the north exit. You'll see an interesting

triangleof trees here. Jump in the middle of the trees and a block will appear

with the

Runaway Pay Badge. Take it and then use the south exit again. Back on

the path,

keep heading east until you get to an area with plenty of trees. Dry

Dry

Outpost is on the east exit, but we're not done in the desert. Smash

the tree
