Statement from......Me!

The Game

2.Important Characters

a.Good

Mario: That Lustrous Facial hair, those stylin’ blue overalls, there’s only one Mario. When our intrepid hero receives a request from Princess Peach to help her search for the Thousand-Year Door, he abandons his brother (again) and sets sail for the town of Rogueport. During the game, Mario is also known as “Murphy”, “Marty-o”, “The Great Gonzalas”, and “Luigi”.

Peach: While on vacation, Princess Peach wisely decides to wander off on her own. Rarely one to get into trouble, the princess is, surprisingly, nowhere to be found when Mario arrives in Rogueport. What could have possibly happened to her?

Luigi: Left behind once again, Luigi stays home only to later receive another letter from a different far-off kingdom. During Mario’s adventure you can talk to Luigi to see what he’s been up to.

Punio: A member of the Puni tribe. Small in stature, but when fighting the Jabbis, he and the rest of the Punies easily take them down.

Flavio: The rich and famous Flavio. Though he seems like a pompous blow-hard, he comes in handy when he needs to.

Professor Frankly: A professor at U Goom, and Goombella’s old archeology professor. He tells Mario and his partners the story of the Thousand-Year Door, and how to get to the locations of each Crystal Star. Plus he has his own great theme music!

b.Bad

Sir Grodus: Sir Grodus is also searching for the Thousand-Year Door. As you can probably tell, he’s the bad guy in this tale (the huge, computerized cranium is a dead giveaway). He rules the nefarious X-Naut organization with an iron fist and a scary-looking scepter.
 
 

Bowser: When he finds out that Princess Peach is missing, Bowser immediately sets out to find the damsel in distress (with the intention of kidnapping her himself, of course). Along the way, he’s sure to run into his long-time nemesis...
 
 

Lord Crump: The man right underneath Sir Grodus, Lord Crump is the main guy in charge of getting the Crystal Stars. On his own, he is no threat at all, but will he always be alone?
 
 

Beldam: The eldest sister of the Shadow Sirens. She likes to use magic attacks, and her blizzard attack has an attack force that is double.
 
 

Marilyn: The second Shadow Siren, Marilyn is the strongest Shadow Siren. She uses a thunderbolt attack, and she can also boost her attack power for one turn; try hitting her first!
 
 

c.Mario’s Partners

Goombella: Goombella is the first companion to join Mario on his journey. She’s a smart (though somewhat sassy) Goomba girl with aspirations of becoming an archaeologist.
 
 

Koops: Koops is a timid Koopa who wants to be tougher for his girlfriend, Koopie Koo.
 
 

Madame Flurrie: Flurrie is a former stage star, and a cloud spirit who can control the wind.
 
 

Yoshi: You’ll name this newborn Yoshi yourself when he hatches in Chapter 3, but for the sake of clarity, I’ll refer to him by the name of his species.
 
 

Vivian: Vivian is one of the Shadow Sirens that work for Sir Grodus, but she joins Mario when he shows her an act of kindness. Though she suffers from an inferiority complex, she’s perhaps the best partner in the game.
 
 

Admiral Bobbery: Admiral Bobbery is a salty old Bob-omb sailor who was once married to the lovely Scarlette.
 
 

Ms. Mowz: To convince Ms. Mowz to join your party, you must complete the Elusive Badge sidequest that’s posted in the Trouble Center after Chapter 4. Ms. Mowz is an optional partner in the game, but it’s always useful to have an extra fighter just in case.
 
 

3.Controls

a.Basic Controls

b.Jump & Hammer

At the beginning of the game, both your Boots and Hammer are at level one. All you can do with them is jump and hit.

In Chapter 2 you get the level-2 Boots, which allow you to spin jump. In the field they allow you to break through barriers in the ground, and uncover hidden Star Pieces.

In Chapter 6 you get the level-3 Boots, which allow you to Super Jump. This allows you to reach bars or pipes suspended in the air, or knock objects off shelves you can stand under

In Chapter 3 you get the level-2 Hammer, which allows you to do a spin hit. With that you can destroy large Yellow Blocks.

Before Chapter 7 you get the level-3 Hammer. With it, Mario spins much more, and now you can also break small and large gray blocks.

c.Plane, Paper, Tube, & Boat Modes

During his adventure, Mario finds Black chests that require a Black Key to open. When you find the keys and take them to the chests, they will open and “curse” Mario with one of the Paper abilities. Also when you complete certain Trouble Center requests, you can unlock paper ability games at the Pianta Parlor.
 
 

The Plane ability: In the Prologue, Mario gains the ability to turn into a paper plane. To do this, Mario must be standing on a Paper plane tile. Once on it press “Y” and Mario will turn into a paper plane, whitc you control by tilting left and right on the analog stick to fly. You can turn back by either landing, or pressing “B”.
 
 

The Paper ability: In Chapter 1, Mario gains the ability to become flat like a piece of paper. You can use this ability wherever you like, just press and hold the “R” button, and Mario will be flat like paper. This allows him to slip between flat things, like metal bars. To turn back, just stop holding “R”!
 
 

The Paper Tube ability: In Chapter 4, Mario gains the ability to become like a paper tube. You can use this ability wherever you’d like. Just press and hold “R” to become a piece of paper, then move your analog stick in a circle to become a tube. (You no longer need to hold “R”.) As a tube you can move around more quickly, and get under low places. To turn back just press “B”.
 
 

The Boat ability: In Chapter 5, Mario gains the ability to become a paper boat. To use this ability, stand on a boat panel and press “Y”, and Mario will fall in the water as a boat. While a boat, Mario can float anywhere the water he is in connects to. Just watch out for waves and whirlpools. To change back just press “Y” while next to a boat panel.
 
 

4.Battling

a.Battle Turns

When battling, it’s important to know what order things work in, here’s how it goes:

Lead person’s turnàBehind Person’s TurnàEnemies' Turn

(Whomever you         (Whomever is in the     (They tend to

have in the lead             back)                           go from the 

position)                                                              front back)

b. Striking First

While in the field, the enemies will roam about around you. If you jump on one or hit it with your hammer, you can perform a first strike, but remember, all other things apply, so if you get a first strike while jumping on a spiked enemy and not wearing the Spike Shield badge, you will still get hurt. But getting the first strike can be good in the case of enemies you need to flip over, like Buzzy Beetle.

Also watch out, if you're not wearing the Chill Out badge, your enemies can get the first strike. If they do, you can still guard, but be quick: the first strike is right at the start of battle, as the enemy will move as the curtain rises!

c. Victory and Loss

When you defeat an enemy, not only does the crowd cheer for you, but you also get Star Points, Coins, and possibly HP, FP, or items! But be wary, if Mario loses all of his HP, you’ll get a Game Over, and you’ll have to start all the way back at your last save point, so save often!

d. Battle Commands

Battle Commands are basically what you and your partner can do. All of Mario’s commands are listed below. Mario’s Partners also have Item, Tactics and Attack commands. But they have different attacks; to see them, look below in the Partner’s section.

Jump: The move Mario is mostly known for, Mario will run over and jump on the targeted enemy. But watch out for spiked, toothed, or flaming enemies; unless you're wearing the proper badges, Mario can get hurt. As you get higher leveled boots and/or wear jump-related badges Mario can use special jump attacks. For example, when Mario wears and uses the Multibounce badge, he can jump on all the enemies on the stage.

Hammer: Mario’s been known to swing a hammer since the Donkey Kong days. When you select the Hammer attack, Mario will run over and hit the closest grounded (or near grounded) enemy. Mario can only attack the leading ground or near-grounded enemy. Once Mario gets higher level hammers, he can cause the enemy he attacks to fly back and hit the others. Some badges allow Mario to have a higher attack power, like with the Power Smash Badge. Add effects like the Head Rattle Badge, attack all the ground based enemies like with Quake Hammer, or attack any enemy, no matter how far back they are or if they are in the air with the Hammer Throw Badge.

Items: If Mario or his partner select this battle command, it allows them to use any of the items you have in stock. The type of items go as followed:

Healing: Replenishes you or your partners HP or FP.

Attack: Attacks the enemy.

Stat Effect: Causes you, your partner, or your enemy to get a stat effect. For example, Sleepy Sheep causes your enemies to fall asleep.

Mystery: A strange item, it randomly uses one of the above kinds of items.

Special: Along his adventure, Mario will pick up the seven Crystal Stars, each giving him a Special ability (You can see them listed under “Special Abilities). Mario gets his first Special ability after the first time he visits the Thousand-Year Door.  Special abilities require Star Power, so watch your meter.

Tactics: The tactics menu gives Mario or his Partner a choice of things other than attacking. They are as followed:

Swap Partner: This allows you to change the active partner on the battlefield. If you have the Quick Change badge on, you can still take a turn after switching.

Appeal: This command will have Mario or his partner appeal to the crowd, replenishing your star meter. This works even better if you are wearing the Super Appeal or Super Appeal P badges.

Defend: This will cause the person using it to get in a ready position, and will reduce the amount of damage they take. You can still press “A” to defend to reduce the damage even more.

Run Away: If you are in a normal battle (a non-boss battle) and you don’t think you can take on the opponents (like when you're facing four Frost Piranhas at once), you can choose to run away. Once you do, press “A” as many times as you can to increase your chances of escaping. But if you do, you will lose coins.

Charge: If you are wearing the Charge or Charge P badge(s) Mario or his partner can charge up their attack power for the next turn. But you must be wearing the Charge or Charge P badge(s), or Charge will not be on your tactics menu.

e. Action Commands, Offensive and Defensive

Offensive:

In battle, Action Commands are important. For example, let’s say you're fighting a Spiked Goomba, which has 0 defense. Without doing the action command correctly, your hammer attack (the level-1 hammer) will only do 1 damage, but by doing the action commands, you can deal 2 damage. There are four kinds of offensive action commands:

Counting Down: For some attacks you must tilt the analog stick left until the star appears. Once it does, let the stick go, and the attack will commence.

Timing: For most aerial attacks you must time your action command correctly and press “A” just before you land on the enemy. Timing is important, so practice so you can get it correct every time.

Aiming Attacks: For these action commands you must place a small cursor inside a slightly large circle. For some attacks, like Goombella’s Tattle, you must simply press “A” when the cursor is inside the circle, but for attacks like Flurrie’s Body Slam, you must control the cursor and keep it inside the circle.

Button Mashing: For the rest of the attacks, you must press buttons. There are three forms of this: 1. Pressing one button many times. 2. Pressing and holding a single button. 3. Pressing out a whole sequence of buttons.

For each partner’s attack, I have listed the action commands with the attack in the Partner’s section.

Defensive:

The defensive action command is less complicated. All it is, is timing. When it’s the enemies turn, and they are about to attack, you must time it correctly and press “A” to perform a guard action command. Each different kind of attack requires different timing, so keep practicing. Also, instead of guarding, you can press “B” to perform a superguard action command, but the timing has to be more precise. I find it to be a bit difficult, except against weaker enemies like Goomba. But be careful when using the superguard, because if you don’t do it right, you will be attacked head-on with no guard whatsoever.

f. Star Power

Star Power is an important factor in battling; you need Star Power to use special moves. Once you use a special move, your star power is used. To refuel it, you need to entertain the audience to get star power back, or sleep at an inn.

g. The audience and Stylish Moves

During all of your fights after you visit the Thousand-Year Door for the first time, there will be an audience watching the whole thing. If you do good things, more people will show up, and you can get more Star Power. Sometimes you will have fans who will throw you items, HP, or FP. But not everybody likes Mario, and they will throw stuff at you and make you lose HP! When someone in your audience is going to throw something, you will hear a little tone, and the “X” button will appear near your active character. When this happens, quickly scan your audience to see what is being thrown. If it is a useful item or a piece of HP or FP, just leave them alone and they will throw it to you. (If they are throwing an item, and your bag is full, they will miss you and the item will disappear.) But if it is something bad, quickly press “X” and your active character will go into the audience and get rid of the troublemaker. Here is a list of the people who will appear in your audience, and what they do:

Shy Guys: They are there from the beginning. They do interesting things. Sometimes, one will run onstage and either cause something to fall, or make it foggy, so it is harder for Mario, his partner, and the enemies (including bosses) to make an attack connect.

Toads: They are with you from the beginning, all they will do is occasionally throw you something good.

Hammer Brothers: They are with you from the beginning. They will sometimes through hammers at you.

Goombas: They show up about the time you get to the Petal Meadows. They will sometimes throw cans or rocks at you.

Koopa Troopas: They show up around the time you get to Petalberg. They will either throw you a Courage Shell, or in times of plight in the audience, they will hide in their shells for a short time, so they won’t be able to see the show, so that means less SP.

Dull Bones: When you get to Hooktail Castle, they will become part of your audience. They will sometimes throw bones at you.

Punies: Once you free all the Punies in the Great Tree, the Punies will join the audience. They will sometimes throw something good to Mario. If something falls into the audience, though, they will all run away.

X-Nauts: Sometime during your adventure in the Great Tree, X-Nauts will join. They will either throw a can at you or a rock. If they are to throw a rock, every X-Naut in the audience will have a rock, but if you press “X” in time, the others will put their rocks away, and you will only be rid of one.

Piranha Plants: I believe they join during Chapter 2. Piranha Plants won’t throw anything at you, but they are still troublemakers. Eventually while they are watching, if they audience member next to them is small and tasty, like a Puni, they will eat it! Thus reducing your audience down by 1. Also Piranha Plants don’t jump in the air like everybody else, duh!

Bulky Bob-ombs: Once you start fighting in Glitzville, Bulky Bob-ombs will join up. Bulky Bob-ombs take up two seats at a time (so an audience full of them will only be half your total capacity). Bulky Bob-ombs don’t throw anything, but if they get bored or something disturbs them, they will light their fuse, and after a while, if they are still there, they will explode, taking most of your audience with them. Also if a Bulky Bob-omb explodes near other Bulky Bob-ombs, the others with explode in a chain reaction. Bulky Bob-ombs also make it impossible to see any audience members directly in front of them, so be wary when an audience member is sitting in front of one, and is about to throw something at you. You can press “X” while the object is in the air if need be.

Crazee Dayzee: They will join your audience as you trek Twilight Trail. They won’t throw anything, but sometimes they will sing and put most of your audience to sleep. Don’t worry, they will eventually wake up.

Boos: Once you open the box ‘o Boos in Creepy Steeple, Boos will join your audience. Boos don’t throw anything, but sometimes they will come onstage and turn you, your partner, or one of your enemies invisible for one turn. This can be annoying at times when they turn your opponent invisible. Don’t worry, though, the effect doesn’t work on bosses.

Luigi: Luigi?! Luigi is with you from the beginning, and occasionally throws items to you. But if Luigi is on some other big quest, how can he be here watching Mario?

Stylish Moves: If you press the “A” button at the correct time during an attack, you will perform a stylish move, which your audience members will love, giving you more Star Power. If you have a hard time getting stylish moves right, just wear the Timing Tutor badge, it’ll tell you when to press “A”.

h. Bingo!

When you do action commands correctly, icons appear next to your Star Power gauge. If one that matches it appears next to it, after you perform another action command a slot machine-type thing will pop up with the two symbols, you must time and press “A” at the correct time to get three symbols in a row, unless they are Poison Mushrooms. Here is a list of the possible outcomes:

3 Mushrooms: Recover all HP, and fill the audience.

3 Flowers: Recover all FP, and fill the audience.

3 Stars: Recover all Star power, and fill the audience.

3 Shine Sprites: Recover all HP, FP, and Star power, and fill the audience.

3 Poison Mushrooms: Lose half your total HP, FP, and Star power, plus your audience will run away.

i. Leveling up and Bonuses

After each battle you partake in, you will receive Star Points. Once you accumulate 100 Star Points, Mario levels up one level. When Mario levels up you can choose to either increase total HP by 5 points, increase total FP by 5 points, or increase total Badge Points by 3 points. And for every 10 levels Mario reaches, his stage becomes better looking with more stuff, and his audience capacity increases by 50 people.

1.It’s usually wise to attack the strongest enemy first, or the one you have the hardest time defending against.

2.Usually the enemies with higher defenses, like Koopa Troopas or Clefts, you can flip over. You can do this by either jumping on them or using Quake Hammer. Once you do this their defense goes to 0 and they are completely vulnerable.

3.Use Life Shrooms. Life Shrooms are one of the most useful items there is. If Mario or his partner faints in battle, the Life Shroom will automatically activate, reviving the one who fainted and giving them 10 HP. Life Shrooms are expensive, though, so save them for those tough battles.

4.Watch out for items. Sometimes an enemy will come into battle holding an item. If this is the case, attack it first. Items used against you can be bad, and are harder to defend against. Also if you win the battle, you might be able to pick the item up afterward.

5.Watch out for stage problems. As you level up, your stage gets better and worse in some ways. Here are some of the things you need to watch out for:

Falling stuff: Sometimes random things will fall onstage, either on Mario, his partner, an enemy, or in the audience. Most of it is random, ranging from giant forks, buckets, and fish-like things. Some of the falling objects can give status effects too: the fish-like things can cause confuse status, or the lights can cause an electrified status.

Water: Water can be a good or bad thing. If it falls on Mario, his partner, or the enemy, it cures all status problems like confuse or poison. If it falls in the audience, it’s treated like any kind of falling object.

Scenery: Sometimes if the ground is shaken a lot, or something heavy falls or hits the stage, the scenery will fall and hit whoever it’s above. Sometimes it’ll be on one side of the stage, or the whole stage. You can tell when it’s going to fall because it will be rocking back and forth.

Special Effects: When your stage is updated, when battles start you will see a fog machine, flamethrower, or fire crackers go off. But if during the battle, the things that project them fall down, they can fire at you or your opponent.  If the fog machines go off and they are pointing at Mario, his partner, or an enemy, they might get a frozen status for a turn, also the stage may become foggy and it’ll be harder for anyone to hit their targets. If they are pointed at someone and the firecrackers go off, it will hurt the person they are pointed at, and sometimes give them a burn status. The flamethrower will give you a burn status, as well as causing some hefty damage.

5.Badges

a.Basics of Badges, battle and field

During your adventure you will come across a variety of badges that all give Mario or his partner new attacks, special defenses, or in some cases, new looks. For a list of all the badges, look below in the badge section of the information journal.

In Battle: Most badges are to be used in battle. Some give Mario new jump attacks or new hammer attacks. Some up the total HP or FP he has, and some just give Mario or his partner a higher defense or attack power.

In the field: Most field badges are just for fun, like the W Emblem or the Attack FX B. Some can be more useful, like the Bump Attack badge, which allows you to defeat weak enemies without battling.

Equipping badges:

Equipping a badge is easy, just press “Start” or Right on the D-pad to access the badge menu. Once there just go down to the badge you want to equip and press “A”, and if you have enough badge power (BP) the badge will be equipped. If you don’t have enough, unequip enough badges to give you enough, or wait to level up to increase your total BP by 3. To unequip a badge, just put the cursor next to the one you want to unequip and press “A”, and it will be unequipped.

b. Getting more Badges

Once you see the great benefits you get from badges, you will probably want to get more. There are four easy ways to find badges:

Trade: In the town area of the Rogueport Sewers there is a blue-dressed fella’ named Dazzle. You can trade Star Pieces to Dazzle for badges. So to get all the badges he has, you need to get all 100 Star Pieces.

Purchase: You can purchase badges from two locations in Rogueport. Charlieton, who wanders Rogueport square, sells badges, but at a high price. Also the Lovely Howz of Badges, located above Zess T.’s house, sells a bunch of badges you can’t get anywhere else. The badges they have on the shelves are on sale, but the rest in stock cost a pretty penny.

Win: In the Pianta Parlor, located on the west side of Rogueport, you can trade in the Pianta Tokens that you win for badges that you can’t get anywhere else. Plus you can win other prizes.

Find: Any other badges that you don’t have from the above three you must find out in all the places you visit.  Nine of those badges are located in The Pit of 100 Trials, they are some of the harder ones to get, but they are quite useful.

6.Mario’s Partners

During his adventure, Mario will gain the help of 6 (or 7) partners. They each are different and each has different abilities and battling moves. They each have an ability that you can use in the field by pressing “X”. Each partner starts with 2 attacks, but can each level up twice and gain an attack each time. You can level them up by giving a Shine Sprite to Merlon in eastern Rogueport.  Here is a look at what each of them can do:

Goombella: In the prologue Goombella will join Mario’s party. When you press “X” with her out as your partner, Goombella will tell you a little about your current location, and she can give you hints about anything. Also if you are standing next to someone, she will tell you about that person.

Level 1 attacks:

Headbonk: Goombella will run over and headbonk the chosen opponent. It works just like Mario’s Jump.

Tattle: When Goombella uses her tattle attack you must press “A” when the cursor is in the middle of the large circle. When done correctly, Goombella will tell you about that enemy. Also you can now see the enemy’s HP, and will see it every time you fight that enemy.

Level 2 attack:

Multibonk: Same as Headbonk, except if you get the action command correctly, Goombella will continue to headbonk until you miss an action command.

Level 3 attack:

Rally Wink: To do this, you must continuously press “A” or “B”, it depends on which is shown, it will alternate. When done correctly, Rally Wink will allow Mario to take a second turn, whether he has attacked yet or not.

Koops: In Chapter 1, Koops will join Mario’s party. When you press “X” Mario will shoot Koops in his shell a short distance. If you press and hold “X”, Mario will shoot Koops and Koops will stay in place and Mario can move about while Koops stays there.

Level 1 Attacks:

Shell Toss: To do Shell Toss, you must hold left on the analogue stick until the star appears, when it does let go and Koops will fly into the front most opponent.

Power Shell: Power Shell is basically the same as the Shell Toss accept for 2 differences. To do the Power Shell you must hold left and let go in a different fashion than the Shell Toss. And second, the Power Shell hits all of the ground-based foes on the stage.

Level 2 Attack:

Shell Shield: To do Shell Shield you must press “A” when the OK needle is in the red. The Shell Shield will protect Mario from receiving a certain amount of damage. I have no idea where Koops pulls that giant shell from.

Level 3 Attack:

Shell Slam: To do the Shell Slam you must click left on the analogue stick until you fill the meter. When you do, Koops will fly over and hit every ground-based enemy, and do damage as if they all had 0 defense.

Madame Flurrie: In Chapter 2, Mario gains the help of the cloud spirit, Madame Flurrie. In the field, if you press “X” with Flurrie out, the wind spirit will begin to blow large amounts of air. With this you can blow away certain barriers or spin enemies around, causing them to be temporarily immobile.

Level 1 Attacks:

Body Slam: To do this, you must move the small cursor into the circle, and keep it there. Once done correctly, Flurrie will slam her...self into the chosen enemy.

Gale Force: To do Gale Force you must press and hold “A” at the correct times. When done correctly, Flurrie's gusts of wind may blow away none to all of the non-boss enemies onstage!

Level 2 Attack:

Lip Lock: To do Lip Lock you must press and hold “A” only while the star is lit up. Once done, all the HP you take from the enemy will be added to Flurrie’s HP.

Level 3 Attack:

Dodgy Fog: Dodgy Fog is done by tilting the analog stick in the appropriate directions at the correct time. If you do it right, it will cause Mario to be dodgy, and he will be unable to be attacked for a few rounds.

Yoshi: During Chapter 3, Mario will find an egg, eventually it will hatch to be a Yoshi, which you can then name whatever you wish. Yoshi’s color is random. In the field, if you press “X”, Mario will hop on top of Yoshi be able to ride it around a lot quicker than walking. Also if you press “A” you can hover in the air for a short time.

Level 1 Attacks:

Ground Pound: To do this you must continuously press “R” to fill the meter. After you do that, Yoshi will attack the chosen opponent with a ground pound multiple times.

Gulp: Gulp is easy to do, all you have to do is press and hold “R” until the star appears. Once done Yoshi will eat the frontmost opponent and spit it out at the opponents behind it. This is really useful against enemies with high defenses.

Level 2 Attack:

Mini-egg: To do Mini-Egg, you must press “A” when the stars light up. After that, Yoshi will throw eggs at the opponents, sometimes shrinking them, reducing their attack power.

Level 3 Attack:

Stampede: Stampede is a fun attack that will call a heard of Yoshis to attack all the enemies. To do it, just alternate pressing “L” and “R". The more you fill the gauge, the more Yoshis will show up.

Vivian: Though Mario fights her in Chapter 2, in Chapter 4 Mario convinces Vivian to join the party. In the field if you press “X” Vivian will pull Mario into the shadows, allowing them both to avoid any enemy. Unfortunately, you can’t move around while down there.

Level 1 Attacks:

Shade Fist: Shade Fist will have you press a random button, ranging from “A”, “B”, ”X”, and “Y”. Once done, Vivian will punch the chosen enemy (from any height) and if you did the action command correctly, the enemy will have a burn condition for a few turns.

Veil: Veil is one of few attacks where you must press a sequence of buttons for it to work. If you do it right, Vivian will pull Mario into the shadows to avoid all attacks for that turn. The downside is that to reemerge takes up your next turn, so save Veil for those powered up, strong attacks.

Level 2 Attack:

Fiery Jinx: One of my favorite attacks, Fiery Jinx requires you to press a sequence of buttons. If you do it right, all the enemies onstage will be attacked with a flame attack, and if the action command was right, they will have a burn condition for a few turns.

Level 3 Attack:

Infatuate: Infatuate is done in an odd way. You must press “A” the moment a heart appears above the enemy. If you time it right, Vivian will blow a kiss to the opponent and confuse them for a few turns. You can attack all the enemies at once with this.

Admiral Bobbery: In Chapter 5, after you give him the Chuckola Cola and hit him with a hammer, Admiral Bobbery will join Mario’s Party. In the field, if you press “X” with Bobbery by your side, Mario will throw Bobbery and Bobbery will light his fuse, walk a few steps, and blow up.

Level 1 Attacks:

Bomb: Bobbery’s Action commands are fairly easy. To do Bomb, simply press and hold “A” until the star appears, and Bobbery will explode next to the frontmost enemy.

Bomb Squad: This one is a little different, to do it you must press and aim with “A” when the circle is in the area where you want to throw the mini-bombs, and Bobbery will throw them. At the end of the next round, the bombs will explode, damaging all the nearby enemies.

Level 2 Attack:

Hold Fast: To do Hold Fast, you must time and press “A” when the circles light up. Once done, Bobbery will ready himself and will cause damage to all direct attackers.

Level 3 Attacks:

Bob-ombast: If you like explosions, you will like Bob-ombast. You must press “A” many times until you fill the gauge. If you do it right, Bobbery will run over and cause a large explosion, causing large damage to all the enemies onstage.

Ms. Mowz: Ms. Mowz is an optional partner. You can get her anytime after Chapter 4 by completing the Elusive Badge Trouble Center request. If you press “X” with Ms. Mowz out, she will sniff the air, and if there is any hidden treasure around, she’ll let you know.

Level 1 Attacks:

Love Slap: To do Love Slap, you must quickly move the analog stick left and right to fill the gauge. Once done Ms. Mowz will slap the chosen enemy a couple times, and ignore their defense.

Kiss Thief: Kiss Thief requires timing. You must press “A” after the gauge gets past “OK” but before it gets to the end of the bar. If you do it right, Ms. Mowz will steal the enemy’s item or badge.

Level 2 Attack:

Tease: To do this move, you must alternate pressing and releasing the “A” button. If you do it right, Ms. Mowz will confuse the enemy for a few rounds.

Level 3 Attack:

Smooch: Smooch requires the most FP of any other move in the entire game. To do it, you must alternate pressing the “A” and “B” buttons. If you do it right, Ms. Mowz will kiss Mario and replenish 10 of his HP.

Gus: Gus will be blocking the entrance to the second half of east Rogueport. At the beginning of the game, he is too tough for Mario to handle. You can pay 10 coins to pass him also, but you don’t need anything on that side until later in the game. I’d wait 'til at least after Chapter 1 or 2.

Welcome to Rogueport, the beginning of your adventure. As you walk toward town, you’ll see a few thugs bothering a young Goomba girl. As you walk closer, the Goomba will bring you into the fight. The leader will attack you. He’s real easy, just get used to the battle controls, and move on.

After the fight, follow the Goomba girl, Goombella, out of the mob and into the plaza. Once there, you’ll meet up with Toadsworth, who will tell you that Princess Peach has vanished (!). After the conversation Goombella will join your party, and ask you to go to Professor Frankly’s house.

Before you do, walk up to the old Toad wandering about the entrance to the west side of town. She’ll inform you that she lost her contact lens, and tells you not to move. Start walking away and you’ll step on it. After she yells at you, enter the Toad Bros. Bazaar and talk to the clerk, who will place an order for a contact lens for you.

Now head for the east side of town. As you walk in, a Bandit will “accidentally” bump into you and steal half your coins. Follow him back to the plaza, into the back alleyway, and into the door on the left, and talk to the Bandit to get your coins back.

After the confrontation, head back to the East Side of town, and enter the second house on the right to find Professor Frankly.

When you go down the second pipe, you’ll see a blue “!” switch. Hit it with your hammer, or jump on it and a staircase will appear. Go up the stairs and into the doorway. Inside, you’ll see a black chest, talk to it and it’ll tell you to go find the Black Key. Go back outside and walk left against the wall until you fall off the ledge. You’ll land on a platform with the Black Key on it. Grab it and head back to the chest, who will then “curse” you with the Plane mode ability.

Afterward head out to the plane panel and transform into a paper plane, and fly across the room. Enter the door into the room containing the Thousand-Year Door.

Before you go inside the first building, grab the POW Block inside of the “?” Box. Once inside, walk up to one of the pedestals and press “A”. Once you do, the two Bald Clefts will jump off their pedestals and walk around. Walk up to one. You will find that they cannot be attacked normally. Use the POW Block, and it will KO them. Now walk through the door.

Before you walk into the next building, check the bush next to the entrance, it will contain another POW Block. Grab it.  Inside, do the same thing you did before with the Bristles, and move on.

In the next building you will see a Thwomp statue on the opposite side of the room. Talk to it and it will challenge you, but instead of fighting, you will compete in the 65^th annual Quirk Quiz! Fortunately for you, you’re reading this FAQ, so the only thing being tested is your ability to read.
 
 

Question & Answers:

Once you get to the rock formation, put the sun and moon stones in their corresponding spots. When you do, the two rocks will slide back, revealing two blue “!” blocks. Stand next to one, then shoot and hold Koops out. While holding Koops, have Mario run to the other side and hit both switches at the same time, if you succeed a pipe will appear to take you to Hooktail Castle.

HOOKTAIL CASTLE

Enemies:

Dull Bones: 1 HP, 2 ATK, 1 DEF

Koopa Troopa: 4 HP, 2 ATK, 1 DEF

Paragoomba: 2 HP, 1 ATK, 0 DEF

Paratroopa: 4 HP, 2 ATK, 1 DEF

Red Bones: 5 HP, 3 ATK, 1 DEF

Spiky Goomba: 2 HP, 2 ATK, 0 DEF

Star Pieces: 5

Shine Sprites: 3

Items: Power Bounce Badge, Castle Key x4, Attack FX R, Black Key, Up Arrow, Last Stand P Badge, Life Shroom, Mushroom, Honey Syrup, HP Plus Badge, Attack FX B Badge

Many a brave adventurer has entered Hooktail Castle, only to end up as a pile of bones. Now the land must pin its hopes on a slightly overweight plumber and a cowardly Koopa.

In the entrance hall you’ll find a springboard that Mario can use to jump up to the second floor of the hall. Use it, and go out the door to the left. Once outside, use the Plane panel to fly across the broken bridge, then enter the main part of Hooktail Castle.

Follow the hallways until you get to a room with cages in the back. You’ll pass a pile of bones with blue shoes, Koops will automatically walk over to it, thinking it is his father. You’ll also note that he is holding a note. Choose to read it, and you’ll discover that it tells you that Hooktail’s weakness is crickets, that Hooktail is tricky but you must not give any mercy.  You’ll also discover that the remains are definitely not Koops’ father.

Continue down the hall and you’ll see a fallen Red Bones in front of the door.  Examine it, and after its speech, you’ll be flooded and pushed back by a sudden filling of the room with Dull Bones. Use your hammer to bash them away and work your way back to the Red Bones and engage in a fight. If you have Koops use his Power Shell, you can take out all of the Dull Bones in the fight. But try to take out Red Bones as fast as possible because it can rebuild more Dull Bones. Once you best it, you’ll have access to the rest of the castle.

At the end of the next chamber, you’ll see a small purple and yellow switch on the lower platform. First bash the purple switch to lower the purple block. Use it as a step to jump up and destroy the yellow block with your hammer. After it’s gone, go back and hit the yellow switch to raise the yellow platform.

Once it is risen, stand where it once stood, and use Koops to hit the red “!” block to move the staircase. Use it to retrieve the key, then use Koops to move the staircase back. Use the key on the door to the right.

Don’t bother with the green switch and platform, and keep heading to the right into the dungeon. When inside the dungeon, stand next to the red “!” switch, and use Koops’ hold ability. Then have Mario walk over to the far right cell, let Koops go, and the cell door will rise. Quickly enter the cell and into the door on the right.

Inside you’ll find another black chest that promises not to curse Mario. Move another room to the right. Take note of the pattern on the floor before you open the chest, because when you do, spikes will rise, and the ceiling will begin to lower, but don’t worry, you have enough time to make it back to the door.

Give the key to the black chest to find that it was lying, and it “curses” Mario with the Paper mode ability.

Return to the room on the left (the one with the cells) and squeeze through the bars with your new ability. But before you leave, squeeze through into the far left cell to retrieve the Attack FX R Badge, equip it (it takes 0 BP) and Mario’s attacks will sound like a cricket. It can be annoying, but you need it.

Return to the room where you fought Red Bones and found the note from Koops’s “dad”. You’ll find that you can squeeze through the far-left bars. Once on the other side, walk as far right as you can to find another Castle Key.

Return to the room before the dungeons, the one with the green switch and platform. Have Mario stand on the green platform, and use Koops to hit the green switch. You’ll rise up. Walk up the stairs, and unlock the door.

On the other side, you come across a broken bridge to the other side of the room. You can hit the first switch yourself, use Koops to hit the second. To get across the third part, you must jump out the window and walk to the other side, then jump back in.

In the next room, hold Koops next to the green switch, have Mario walk back to the platform, then let Koops go. Once you reach the top, go through the door on the left. Inside, you’ll encounter the thief, Ms. Mowz. After your “talk” with her, she’ll leave. Grab the Castle Key and the other goodies, then head out the door, then to the door on the right.

Work your way through the next room until you get to a yellow switch. Bash it to lower the platform, then use Koops’ hold ability until Mario is on the platform, then rise it.

Once up-top, walk along the thin pathway until you get next to a Plane panel. Use your Paper ability to squeeze through the bars, then fly to the door.

Once back in the tall room, go down the stairs then hit the yellow switch to lower the platform, then use Koops to grab the key, then head all the way up the stair well to the door.

On the other side of the door, you’ll be outside. Walk along the path until you get to a spiral incline. Walk up it, and you’ll end up in front of some large doors at the top of Hooktail Castle. Save and heal before you enter, for your boss battle against Hooktail will begin as soon as you enter the doors. Also, make double sure that you have the Attack FX R Badge equipped. The sound it makes will weaken Hooktail.

PEACH’S EVENT

At the end of each chapter, you’ll play through two additional events—one as Princess Peach and one as Bowser. After Peach’s cutscene, enter the door to your left and take a shower. When you return to the previous room, the door on the right will open automatically. Proceed right until you come to the lab’s mainframe, named TEC-XX, or TEC.

BOWSER’S EVENT

All you have to do in Bowser’s stage is head to the rear of the hall. On your way there, take the time to talk to his minions to trigger some hilarious dialogue. When Kammy asks if you like fried eggs, I recommend answering in the affirmative (they are delicious, after all).
 
 

c.Chapter 2: “The Great Boggly Tree”

After the cutscene, walk back through Pedal Meadows, back to the Rogueport Sewers. Head down to the Thousand-Year Door and stand on the pedestal. After yet another light show, you’ll be automatically returned to Professor Frankly’s house, who will then tell you that the next Crystal Star is in the Boggly Woods.

After finishing any errands you have in Rogueport, head back to the room where you found the Black Key. You’ll see the little gray creature run into the hole again. Now that you can squeeze through the bars, follow it. After convincing it that you're nice, it’ll help you get to the Boggly Woods.

THE BOGGLY WOODS

Enemies:

Beldam: 9 HP, 1 ATK, 0 DEF

Cleft: 2 HP, 2 ATK, 2 DEF

Dark Puff: 3 HP, 2 ATK, 0 DEF

Marilyn: 12 HP, 2 ATK, 0 DEF

Star Pieces: 4

Shine Sprites: 1

Items: Sleepy Sheep, Honey Syrup, Necklace, Inn Coupon, P-Down, D-Up P Badge, Quake Hammer Badge, FP Plus Badge, Volt Shroom, Super Appeal P Badge.

Boggly Woods is like a photo negative of the real world. So all of the native trees, monsters, and vegetation are different shades of black and white. It’s quite lovely.

As you walk toward the Great Tree, you’ll pass by the Shadow Sirens. You’ll find that they lost the sketch of Mario, so if you walk up and talk to them, they won’t bother you. In fact, they tell you to go away!

In the next area, Punio will lead you into the background to the Great Tree. Once there, you’ll find that a metallic door has blocked the entrance. No worries, Punio informs you that there is a secret entrance, but you need the cloud spirit Madam Flurrie to find it. So return back to the Boggly Woods.

As you trek towards Flurrie’s House, you’ll find a large cliff blocking your way. Press down on your control stick while standing next to the hill. Then, when you can go down no more, press right and you’ll find that you have walked into the hill. Follow the path until you find a blue “!” switch. Hit it to raise the warp pipe. After it has risen, use it to be warped to a plane panel, use that to fly to the top of the cliff.

Once inside Flurrie’s House, approach her bedroom door. Punio will ask for her help, she gladly agrees, but says that she simply cannot leave her room until she has her necklace. The same necklace you saw the Shadow Sirens with just moments ago.

Return to the spot where you saw the Shadow Sirens. They have found their picture of Mario, and attack him. The Shadow Sirens are pretty tough. First use attacks to hit all three at once, including your new Earth Tremor attack. Once you run out of FP, or wish not to use so much anymore, focus your attacks on Marilyn first, she has the highest attack power of the three. After she’s out, focus on Beldam (if not at the same time as Marilyn). Beldam can use magic to shrink you or enlarge her sisters. Save Vivian for last, she poses the least threat. Once you defeat them all, they’ll drop Flurrie’s necklace as they run away.

Once you return Flurrie’s necklace to her, she’ll show her, ahem, appreciation, then join your party.

Return to the entrance of the Great Tree, and use Flurrie’s wind power to blow away the barrier in front of the secret entrance. Punio will enter and unlock the metal door, allowing you entrance into the Great Tree.

Pungent’s Shop: A small hidden shop inside the Great Tree. I’ll tell you how to find it.

The Punies’ rivals, the Jabbies, have recently joined forces with the X-Nauts to takeover the Great Tree. The Punies are in dire need of a mustachioed general to turn the tide!

As soon as you enter the Great Tree, a pair of X-Nauts’ll attack you. Once you take them out, a small group of Punies will appear. You claim that you can help them, but they doubt you, and ask the “hairy old man” to free the rest of the tribe. Time to get to work!

You must work your way up three levels in the Great Tree to find red and blue cells. Speak with the elder, and as she tries to remember where the Punies are, Punio will talk to his sister. Afterward, head into the room on the left.

In the next room you’ll find, of course, Ms. Mowz! She’ll tell you the whereabouts of the Crystal Star, then take her leave. When she does, the X-Naut she KO’d will wake up and attack you. When he goes down he’ll drop the Red Key.

Return to the prison room, and unlock the elder’s cell. She’ll yell at Punio for not rescuing the others and begins lecturing...

...many hours later...

Zzzz... Oh, right. When she’s done, return to the entrance where you found the other Punies. The Puni elder will tell you that the Crystal Star is indeed at the bottom of the tree, but you need the Punies to get there. She’ll give you the Puni Orb, and tell you that if you lose any Punies, to see her and she’ll call them all back.

Go into the warp pipe, and put the Puni Orb inside the pedestal. Once activated, the switch will make another warp pipe appear, use it.

In the next room, place the Puni Orb in the pedestal, then have Flurrie use her wind attack to blow the Punies off the ledge. Soon they will float back up inside bubbles. Use Flurrie again, and blow the bubbled Punies across the gap. Once they are all on the other side, grab the Puni Orb, and jump across, then down the pipe.

EXTRA, PUNGENT’S SHOP: In the room with the snaky pathway, if you want to get to Pungent’s shop, jump down to the second floor of the room and walk to the far left, then use Flurrie’s wind attack to blow away the hidden wall. Inside the shop, if you examine behind the stump, you’ll find Punio’s Jabbie friend, Jabble. You let him join your party! Yay, friends!

Move back up onto the snaky pathway and enter the room on the right, but make sure you have all 11 Punies before you enter. As you walk through the next room, 10 Jabbies will come out and attack. Unfortunately, you can’t fight them, the Punies will take care of them. Once all of the Jabbies are KO’d, the Punies will destroy their hive. Enter the new door.

On the other side, you’ll find a Blue Key, take it and head back up to the cell room and open the other cell to get 90 more Punies!

Lead all 101 Punies back down to the snaky pathway room, and lead them to the far door on the right. Be sure not to lose any, you’ll need all 101 Punies for what’s next.

In the next room, it’ll look like a mirror of the last room, but when you get halfway, 100 Jabbies will come out and attack you. Again, you can’t fight them, so just watch the fight ensue. When it’s over, the Punies will destroy the hive. Go through the door and down the pipe, then enter the door on your right.

In the next room, you’ll see another pedestal, so put the Puni Orb in it.

Uh oh! Trap! You’ll find that Lord Crump has set a clever trap for you. Once he is done gloating and leaves, use Paper mode to slip through the bars, and then down the pipe that appeared.

When in the next room, hit the black “!” switch, and take note of the symbols in the room. Next head back to the room where you got the blue key, and you’ll see that four white “!” switches have appeared. Hit the switches so they are in this order: Sun, Moon, Puni, Star. When they are in the correct order, the wall will peel back and on the other side, you’ll find a pair of Super Boots.

After Toadette teaches you how to use them, use your Super Boots to break through the wooden panel outside where the white switches were.

Return to the room where you left the Punies, get back inside the cell, then break through the floor inside, go back up and use Flurrie to blow the Punies into the hole. Then go back down and get them, then head back to the second floor of the room to the left, place the Puni Orb in the pedestal, then blow the Punies into the hole (after you make it, of course).  Then go down the warp pipe on the stump, but make sure you still have all 101 Punies!

Follow the path along the tree until you get into the water-filled room. Go down the other warp pipe, then jump across the gap, and go back up the warp pipe. You’ll see a blue panel, jump on it then shoot and hold Koops to the left. Step off the platform, and when the switch re-emerges, let Koops go to hit it. Go back down the warp pipe, and retrieve the Punies; take them across the water on the lily pads and down the warp pipe. Again, make sure you still have all 101!

Put the Puni Orb into the pedestal, and make sure all 101 Punies get on the platform. Once done, the platform will lower to the final floor. Save and heal before you enter the next room!

In the next room you’ll see another pedestal and platform. If you put the Puni Orb in the pedestal and you have all 101 Punies with you, the Crystal Star will come out of the nearby vase, yay! But Lord Crump will appear and take it, and leave through the warp pipe, boo! Also before he leaves, he begins the countdown to the explosion of a bomb that will destroy the whole Great Tree!

Race after Lord Crump, taking the Punies with you, until you reach the Great Tree’s entrance. Be sure to heal again at the healing box before you approach him. Once you confront Lord Crump at the entrance, he’ll stop the time bomb and call upon a large, metallic body that he will fight you in.

PEACH’S EVENT

Until some enlightened game developer sees fit to give us a full-blown ballroom-dancing simulator, Peach’s next mini-stage is as close as we’re going to get. TEC will ask Peach to dance with a holographic image of herself. Press the buttons as they appear onscreen to demonstrate the style and grace befitting of a princess. (Before you proceed to TEC’s room, take a shower to hear Peach hum a different tune.)

BOWSER’S EVENT

Bowser doesn’t care much for grace and (as far as we know) he doesn’t do a lot of ballroom dancing. In the Koopa King’s second mini-stage, which hilariously parodies the first level in Super Mario Bros. and is quite possibly the greatest thing in the history of gaming, you’re simply expected to smash everything in sight. To aid your cause, pick up pieces of meat until Bowser grows to fill the entire screen.

Controls for Bowser’s mini-stages: A-Jump, B-Breath Fire, Control Stick: Move.

d.Chapter 3: “Of Glitz and Glory”

Head back through the Boggly Woods, back to the Rogueport Sewers, then to the Thousand-Year Door. After the usual light show, you’ll be back at Professor Frankly’s House. He’ll tell you that the next Crystal Star is in the floating city of Glitzville, but to get there you need to ride the Cheep Blimp, and that you might be able to get a ticket from Don Pianta.

Head over to the Toad Bros. Bazaar, you’ll see that one of them is standing outside of the shop, and he tells you that the contact lens you ordered is in. Go inside the shop and purchase it for 10 coins. Take the lens over to Zess T. standing at the gate outside of town. She’ll take it, and head back to her house. Now head to the west side of town.

Once in the west side of town, head to the shop, West Side Goods. Time to use up more money (don’t worry, you’ll make it all back during the chapter). Inside the shop, buy a Dried Shroom, then a Dizzy Dial. When the clerk asks you the color of your mustache, answer “black”, or whatever you want. She’ll realize that she asked you the wrong question, then she’ll ask you what your favorite color is, answer “yellow”. Then she’ll unlock the door to allow you to Don Pianta’s Office.

When you talk to him, he’ll ask you to do a favor in order to get the ticket. Once he’s done talking, head down to the pier and you’ll see Frankie and Francesca. Talk to them to find that they are set upon leaving. Head back to Don Pianta, the door will be automatically unlocked, you don’t need to buy anymore stuff. Answer his question anyway you want, either way, you’ll get your ticket.

After you have your ticket, head to Rogueport Train Station, and talk to the Cheep Cheep on your right. Show him your ticket, and head for the Cheep Blimp. Once you jump inside, you’ll be on your way to Glitzville!

The main attraction in the floating city of Glitzville is the Glitz Pit, a battle arena where the world’s greatest fighters compete for love and country. Or fame and personal fortune—whatever floats your paper boat.

Inn: None. Instead you’ll sleep in whatever locker room you have access to at the moment.

Shops:

Juice Shop: Though it’s a shop, you can’t buy anything, but you will come here a few times.

The Glitz Pit: The main attraction in Glitzville, you will spend most of your time here.

Other:

Cheep Blimp: You can use this to fly back to Rogueport.

Hot Sauce: After you complete his Trouble Center request, a businessman will sell you Hot Sauce for 10 coins a bottle.

When you get to Glitzville, you’ll need to enter the Glitz Pit. Once you're done checking out the sites of course, enter the double doors and witness the fight of Rawk Hawk vs. Dark Koopatrol. Your partner will notice that Rawk Hawk’s championship belt has the Crystal Star. Looks like you’ll have to fight your way to the top to win it.

Next head to Grubba’s, the promoter, office in the back of the Glitz Pit. He’ll get you set up, give you a new name, The Great Gonzales, and have his assistant, Jolene, set you up.

At this point, you must fight through the Glitz Pit. Good luck!

Once you achieve the rank of 15, King K. will tell you about a new kind of Hot Dog that the hot dog stand is selling made of some tropical egg. Head out into Glitzville and you’ll see the owner of the hot dog stand chasing an egg around. Go over and help him chase it down. Eventually it will jump on top of the hot dog stand, use the paper airplane panel on the other side of town to fly on top of the stand. Then once you get to it, allow it to follow you.

At this point, continue fighting like normal.

Soon, you’ll get to rank 9, and it’ll be time for your Major-league fight. You’ll find that none of your attacks will work against the Iron Clefts, so just run away. Once you return to the minor-league locker room, you’ll find that the egg you saved has hatched into a Yoshi! After you name him, sign-up to fight the Iron Clefts again, this time with Yoshi as your partner. Once your fight has started, switch Yoshi to the front, and have him use his Gulp ability to defeat the Iron Clefts. Now The Great Gonzales is a major-league fighter!

Once you reach rank 8, you’ll receive an Email from a mysterious person named X. It’ll tell you to go to the juice shop and talk to the owner. When you do, he’ll give you the Super Hammer! Next, head to the minor-league locker room and smash the large yellow block. Then ride Yoshi across the gap to the top of the bookshelf to receive the Dubious Paper.

After you beat the pair of Bristles, the Iron Clefts will jump onstage and challenge you to another fight. Just show them what The Great Gonzales thinks of that. Have Yoshi use his Gulp and beat them again.

Once you’ve reached rank 6, a fan of yours will send you a piece of cake, eat it to recover all of your HP, FP, and SP! Set up for your next fight against the group of Magikoopas. Once you beat them an old “friend” will jump onstage and challenge Mario. (Who’s Mario? All I see is The Great Gonzales.) Put the hurt on Bowser as quick as you can, his bite is poisonous!

Once you defeat the 4^th ranked team, you’ll receive another Email from X. It tells you to go outside to the phonebooth. Inside it, you’ll find a Storage Key. Take the Storage Key back to the storage room. After talking to Ms. Mowz, use Flurrie to blow on the crates to the left. Then use your hammer to destroy the yellow blocks, then hit the blue “!” switch.

Take the newly exposed stairs up to the second floor. Then ride Yoshi over to the wooden crates to the left, destroy the large yellow block, and jump down into the vent. Inside the vent, walk to the other side, and listen to Grubba and Jolene’s conversation. Once it’s over, go to the other vent and slip though to get back into the storage room. Return to the locker room and continue fighting.

After you beat the 3^rd ranked team, you’ll receive another cake, but DO NOT eat it. If you do, your partner won’t be able to participate in the next fight, and that can be hard against those Red Chomps.

When you are the number one-ranked fighter, you get another Email from X, telling you to take down the Great Gonzales posters in the lobby. Do this using Flurrie. Behind one is another Storage Key.

Go back down to the second floor of the storage room and go to the right an unlock the door. On the other side, break the large yellow block to find some of your old friends lying on the floor. King K. is too hurt to say anything, but Bandy Andy tells you not to go into the ring while it’s empty.

Once you register for the championship fight against Rawk Hawk, the security guard will instead take you to the other minor-league locker room and lock you in! Use Flurrie’s wind power to blow away the Princess Peach poster, walk through the secret room and into the second major-league locker room, then over to the bathroom, and use The Great Gonzales’s toilet paper ability. Actually, press down while standing in the toilet. You’ll be flushed into the original major-league locker room, then you can walk to the ring to challenge Rawk Hawk.

Rawk Hawk’s fight will be like a regular fight, he has the same amount of HP as Bowser. After you deplete some of his HP, he’ll jump up to the rafters and drop various objects on you and your partner. Just use the Quake Hammer or Flurrie’s Body Slam to bring him back to the ground.

Once your fight against Rawk Hawk is over, Jolene will lead you to the Champion’s room. While in there, you will hear voices, then you will receive an Email from X saying to find those voices.

First, get completely healed in the comfy bed, then jump to the top of the pile of presents, ride Yoshi to the vent, and use your spin hammer to break the vent. Walk to the other side of the ventilation system. Once Grubba is gone, break the vent, walk over to Grubba’s desk, and open it to find the info on Grubba’s machine and the Crystal Star. But as you look at it, Grubba will come back inside the office and see you. He will run away. Chase him into the ring, and be ready for your next boss fight.

PEACH’S EVENT

During your next rendezvous, TEC will ask you to speak with Sir Grodus. Take the elevator to the top floor and enter the green-lit door to your right. Check the lockers for an X-Naut uniform, then go behind one of the curtains to put it on. You’ll find Sir Grodus through the door at the east end of the hall. After your conversation, change back into your dress and return to TEC’s room.

BOWSER’S EVENT

The poor little Punies just can’t find a moment’s peace. As if our pudgy hero didn’t frighten them enough, Bowser shows up and nearly gives the entire tribe a coronary. Search the far-right bush to talk to the elder. (You can search the rest of the bushes to terrify the Punies hiding behind them. It’s not necessary, but it is funny.)

e.Chapter 4: “For Pigs the Bell Tolls”

Take the Cheep Blimp back to Rogueport, then head down to the Thousand-Year Door. Do your normal thing, then Professor Frankly will tell you that the next Crystal Star is in Twilight Town, a town that is in such a place where it is stuck in a constant twilight.

When you’re done with everything in Rogueport, head to the west side of town, and use your Paper ability to squeeze through the grate in the middle of the area. Once you’ve fallen, use Yoshi to float across the gap to the left, enter the door, and go down the pipe.

What? You mean the pipe rejected you? Well then head back to Professor Frankly’s House, he’ll tell you about a man named Darkly from Twilight Town. Darkly is standing behind Merlon and Professor Frankly’s houses. Once he tells you how to get into Twilight Town, return to the pipe and it’ll accept you.

TWILIGHT TOWN

Enemies: None

Star Pieces: 3

Shine Sprites: 0

Items: Peachy Peach, Defend Plus Badge, Jammin’ Jelly, Boo’s Sheet, Life Shroom, Inn Coupon, Superbombomb

The people of Twilight Town are plagued with a curse that turns them into pigs. As tempting as it may be to enjoy the lifetime supply of free pork, that’s not quite befitting of a hero.

Inn: The inn is the last house in the west side of town. Every time you stay there, you will get a free Peachy Peach.

Shops:

Twilight Shop: The Twilight Shop is the building in the middle of the east side of town. You can’t purchase anything until you break the curse.

Resident’s House: The first house on the left in the west and east sides of town are both residents' houses, nothing important in them.

Mayor’s House: The house in the middle of the west side of town is the mayor’s house.

Other: Twilight Town doesn’t have a blue pipe, just the brown-orange one.

When you get to Twilight Town, your partner will comment on how weird the town is, then you will hear a bell ring in the distance, and a nearby Twilighter will be turned into a pig. The mayor will come out and invite you into his home. He’ll tell you that the monster at Creepy Steeple has cursed them, so whenever the bell in Creepy Steeple rings, one member of the town will be “pigified”.

Head to the far end of the east side of town, you’ll find a gatekeeper who says that you need the mayor’s permission to pass. So head back to the mayor’s house. As you do, you’ll hear the bell ring again.

When you enter the mayor’s house, you’ll find that he has been turned into a pig! Next head to the Twilight Shop and talk to the owner. After her story, return to the gate, as you do the bell rings once again. You’ll find that the gatekeeper has also been turned into a pig, so take advantage of that and open the gate yourself, then head out to Twilight Trail.

TWILIGHT TRAIL

Shine Sprites: 1

Items: Black Key, Super Shroom, Shop Key, Hammer Throw Badge, Earth Quake

As soon as you step out onto Twilight Trail, you’ll see an old shack. Inside you’ll find a Black Key, grab it.

As you go down Twilight Trail, you’ll come across a fallen tree. You can’t get past it. Use Koops to get the Shop Key on the other side, then head back to Twilight Town.

Head into the shop and talk to the distressed shop owner, she’ll tell you that you can have anything inside of the storage room. Use the Shop Key to unlock it. Inside you'll find another black chest.  Open it with the Black Key, and it’ll “curse” you with the Tube ability.

Head back to the fallen tree, and use your Tube ability to slip underneath it. On the other side, you’ll find a pile of hay, use Flurrie to blow it away, then enter the warp pipe. Later, you’ll come to another tree blocking your path, use Flurrie once more to blow away the bark, enter the tree, and you’ll reappear in the background. Continue on your way.

Before you reach the large rock, you’ll see a dark circle in the ground, use Flurrie again to blow it away and you’ll see some wooden boards. Use your Spin Jump to break it. In the background, push the rock, and the one in the foreground will move with it, revealing a hole. Return to the foreground and jump down into the hole, you’ll jump out on the other side of the rock.

When you get to the gate, you’ll have to use Tube mode to slip through the hole in the gate. Once on the other side, walk up to the gate and then it will unlock for the rest of the game. Now walk up to the front doors of Creepy Steeple, and walk in. Gwahahahaha!

CREEPY STEEPLE

Atomic Boo: HP: 40, ATK: 4, DEF: 0

Boo: HP: 7, ATK: 3, DEF: 0

Buzzy Beetle: HP: 5, ATK: 3, DEF: 4

Star Pieces: 4

Shine Sprites: 3

Items: Golden Leaf, Lucky Start Badge, Steeple Key x2, Ice Smash Badge, Cookbook, Tornado Jump Badge, The Letter “P”, Power Plus Badge, Mr. Softener, Flower Saver Badge, Ultra Shroom

Once inside Creepy Steeple, you’ll see a statue of the Crystal Star, push it and you’ll fall into a hole. Enter the door to the left and you’ll see a box sitting in the middle of the hall. Open it and many, many Boos will fly out. The last one will pause a moment and ask you how many Boos flew out. Answer “200” and he will give you an Ultra Shroom.

Use the spring to jump to return to the main hall. Once you return, you’ll see a Boo sitting on the ground. Tell him that you won’t be mean, then he’ll call out all of his Boo friends.

If you stand in the hallway for too long, the Boos will take you out of Creepy Steeple. You can use your Spin Hammer to knock them off of you. But if you do it twice, they will combine and form Atomic Boo. If you beat it, you’ll win the Lucky Start badge, a really useful badge. Afterward, all that will be in the hall is a few Boos, which will act like normal enemies.

Go out the door that is closest to you (the actual you, not Mario). Head east until you find a red switch, hit it with your hammer, then go into the nearby door, and up the stairs.

Keep walking left on the platform until you reach where it is broken with a key on the other side. Use Koops to snatch it, or Yoshi to float across and get it yourself.

Return to the room with the staircase, and enter the door you haven’t been through yet. You’ll see another red switch, hit it twice and return to the stair room and climb up the moved staircase. Walk west until you get to a locked door. Unlock it with your key, and be sure to save.  On the other side you’ll see a spiral staircase and a heal box, heal yourself and head up the stairs. Once you use the spring to jump up into the belfry, your boss fight will begin!

After the epilogue of the chapter, Mario and his partner will jump out of the belfry and leaves. Press “A” and the shadow will jump up, you’ll find that you can control him.

Return to Twilight Town. Be careful, you have no partners.

Just before you get into Twilight Town, Mario will jump out. Wow! Mario? What’s a celebrity like him doing here? Actually, that is the boss you fought back at Creepy Steeple, he stole Mario’s body and name. He makes you a deal, if you can guess his name, he’ll give you your body and name back. You wouldn’t be able to guess his correct name, even if I gave it to you, so enter whatever you want, then Mario will challenge you to a fight. You can’t fight him, so just run away.

Return to the west side of town (if you go into the mayor’s house, you can see Mario and his partners) and talk to the Shadow Siren, Vivian. She’ll tell you that she’s looking for something. Check the far-left bush and the Superbombomb will pop out. Take it back to Vivian, and she’ll be so happy, she’ll leave her sisters and join your party.

Now head to the east side of town and approach the tree closest to the gate until a conversation bubble appears above your head, then press “X” to have Vivian pull you into the shadows. They crows will tell you that there is someone in Creepy Steeple that knows the imposter’s real name. If you tell the kid nearby that you read strategy guides, don’t pay attention to his response. ^_^.

As you leave town, Mario will ambush you again, just do what you did before and run away. Now head to Creepy Steeple.

Once you get to the gates, instead of using the front entrance, jump down the well. In the caves below, head through the door on the right. Watch out, there is a horde of Buzzy Beetles and Spike Tops there, they will take some time to beat, so be ready. Once they are gone, pass to the right side of the room and push the door thing up the hill. Once you are up a ways, press “X” to fall into the shadows. Once the door passes over you, come back up and continue to the right. Once you break the wooden floor and are behind the hall where you let all the Boos out, roll up into a tube and head to the left, and you’ll find an entrance into the next room.

Stand next to the parrot in the room, and when the chat bubble is above your head use Vivian to hide. Once in the shadows, the parrot will say that the imposter’s name is Doopliss. Next, open all the boxes in the room. One has the letter “P” in it, another has a Steeple Key. Use it to get out of the room. Now return to the place on Twilight Trail were Mario ambushes you.

When you get there and Mario jumps out at you, tell him that his real name is Doopliss. He’ll get all weirded out and run back to the belfry of Creepy Steeple. Heal in Twilight Town if you need to, then give chase. Head back to Creepy Steeple and up to Doopliss’ room (the belfry) and you’ll start the fight against him.

PEACH’S EVENT

Answer TEC’s question as fallows:

1)Thousand-Year Door opens

2)To conquer the world

3)A 1,000-year-old demon’s soul

4)Bring the demon back to life

5)Crystal Stars

BOWSER’S EVENT

Bowser’s vehicle will malfunction while he’s flying over the ocean, which leads to an underwater stage inspired by the original Super Mario Bros. There’s no real strategy for the level, so I’ll just recommend soaking in those sweet tunes as you reduce everything in your path to rubble.

f.Chapter 5: “The Key to Pirates”

After the mayor of Twilight Town apologizes for what happened, take the orange-brown warp pipe back to the Rogueport Sewers and head for the Thousand-Year Door. Approach the pedestal and wait until it’s all done. Back in town, Frankly tells you that the next Crystal Star is in Keelhaul Key, an island haunted by the ghost of Cortez the pirate.

Now head to the Rogueport Inn and talk to Flavio, the yellow man with a pointy nose. No matter how you answer his question, he’ll agree to take you to the key (little rhyme for you). Now follow him to the harbor, he’ll tell you about the SS Flavio, then mention that you have no navigator. Pa-Patch mentions a great navigator called Admiral Bobbery who lives in town.

Head to East Rogueport and ride Yoshi across the river and up on the rooftops, then ride him again to cross the river to land on the opposing rooftop. You should find a chimney that you can roll into in Tube Mode. Talk to the old Bob-omb inside, he’ll claim not to be Admiral Bobbery and unlock the door. Head back to the Inn and talk to Podley, then return to the house (the door is unlocked now). The Bob-omb will admit to being Admiral Bobbery, but still doesn’t go with you. Return to the Inn once more and talk to Podley again, he’ll tell you a sad story about Bobbery and give you a letter to give to Bobbery. Take the letter to Bobbery. After he reads it, he’ll agree to go to Keelhaul Key with you.

Head back to the Harbor and talk to Flavio. Make sure you have everything done in Rogueport before you leave, you won’t be able to return until the very end of the chapter. Once you tell Flavio your ready to go, you’ll embark on your trip to Keelhaul Key!

Keelhaul Key

Enemies:

Ember: HP: 8 ATK: 3 DEF: 0

Flower Fuzzy: HP: 5 ATK: 3 DEF: 0

Green Fuzzy: HP: 5 ATK: 3 DEF: 0

Putrid Piranha: HP: 8 ATK: 3 DEF: 0

Star Pieces: 6

Shine Sprites: 2

Items: Keel Mango, Head Rattle Badge, Courage Shell, Mini Mr. Mini, Jammin’ Jelly, Thunder Rage, Inn Coupon, Coconut x2, Ice Power Badge, Spite Pouch

Arrgh, matey! Thar be ghosts on Keelhaul Key that don’t look too kindly on some pudgy landlubber tryin’ to get his hands on their precious booty.

Inn: The inn is the “building” on the right, bit expensive though.

Shops:

Keelhaul Galleria: The Keelhaul Galleria is the long building on the left. The owner is actually the other Toad Bro. from Rogueport’s Toad Bros. Bazaar. His Ice Storm is a good idea on the fiery foes in the Pirate’s Grotto.

Other: On the Western Shore, you can find a Whacka, which when hit with your hammer, gives you a Whacka Bump, an item that recovers 25 HP and 25 FP!

Your trip will go beautifully, until the night you're attacked by a horde of ghosts, but you’ll end up on Keelhaul Key anyway. You’ll start on the farthest west you can be, a Toad will come and tell you that they have a bed ready for you. Before you go over there, head north until a blue creature pops out, and hit it to get a Whacka Bump. Make sure you're ready for a fight, as soon as you enter the shantytown you’ll get in a fight with three Embers.

Once you defeat them, Captain Mario will be elected to find a way off the island, and to also find your three missing crewmembers. Keep heading east until you reach the area with the huge cliff-face. Stand on the “?” Block and jump to reveal a coin block that will fill the gap between the two edges, now you can jump across while riding Yoshi.

You’ll find the missing crew members at the bridged area. Bobbery will send you and the other two away and will attempt to fight the Embers single-wicked. >_>

Return to the bridged area. Before you cross, jump down the natural stairs into the warp pipe and retrieve a coconut from the tree. Return and cross the bridge. Before you’re all the way across, though, go into Paper Mode to slip through the bridge to the ledge with the Ice Power Badge. This badge is REALLY useful in this chapter, it allows you to jump on fiery foes. Use the spring jump pad to get back up and proceed to the east.

You’ll find two Embers circling a palm tree, defeat them both then hit the tree with your hammer and Bobbery will fall down. Talk to him and he’ll tell you that his last request is to have a drink of his Chuckola Cola. Return to the shantytown and talk to Flavio. When he asks for something in exchange for the Chuckola Cola, give him the Coconut (it’s cheap and you don’t need it). Take the Chuckola Cola back to Bobbery, who’ll then appear to pass on. “Talk” to him to find that he is actually sleeping (have different partners out to get different responses, you can hear them all). When you’re ready, hit Bobbery with your hammer. He’ll make funny noises, then join your team.

Return to the shantytown once more and talk to Flavio. The crew will vote that he should join you. Yes, he’s annoying, but he’ll only follow you for a short time. Return to the spot where you found Bobbery, but continue east and examine the Skull Rock. When Flavio is done singing ask for the Skull Gem and he will give it to you. Place the gem in Skull Rock, then do three Spin Jumps on the red rock, then smack the blue one four times with your hammer. Then toss Bobbery in the hole that appears to open the entrance to the Pirate’s Grotto.

As you delve deeper into Pirate’s Grotto, you’ll hear ghostly voices telling you to turn back. Where’s Luigi with his Poltergust 3000 when you need him?

The first trap you’ll have to overcome in the grotto is a bunch of spears that pop out of the ground. Make sure your timing is correct and have Vivian pull you into the shadows when the spears pop out, then run across while they are in the ground.

In the next room, a pair of Bill Blasters will set at the far end and shoot Bullet Bills at you. Vivian comes in handy once again; as the Bullet Bills fly by, duck into the shadows to avoid fighting them. When you reach the other end, engage in a fight with the Bill Blasters, you’ll fight them both at the same time.

Get through the big waterfall room and enter a room with metal doors at one end. Jump up the cliff and across the river. You’ll see a blue “!” switch on a platform, throw Bobbery up to the switch and have him explode next to it to activate the switch. Go through the door that opens. Cross through this room again into the storage room.

In that room, jump on the grate floating in the water, then jump on the island with the red switch on it, but don’t jump on the switch. Instead shoot and hold Koops away from the switch, then jump on the platform in the back of the room. Release Koops and ride the platform upward, then jump across to get the Grotto Key.

Return to the metal door room and open it. Go through the south entrance in the next room to find an area with spears popping out of the wall. Transform into Tube Mode and roll under them (you’ll have to wait for the pair of low spears to recede to pass them).

In the next room, use Koops or Bobbery to get a first strike on the enemies across the gap in the bridge. Once they are gone, cross over and use Bobbery to blast open the door.

The next room has more Bullet Blasters, just take them out like you did before. The following room has a half-sunken ship, enter it and talk to the Black Chest. Defeat the single Ember that appears to get the Black Key. Open the chest to be “cursed” with the Boat Mode ability.

Go all the way back to the door that you opened by having Bobbery explode next to the blue switch. On the other side, you’ll see a Boat Panel. Use it to transform into a boat, ride down the waterfall, and follow the river west until you reach another boat panel. Transform on it and grab the Floodgate Handle off the broken bow, then return to the large waterfall room, on foot of course.

Use Yoshi to ride across the gap to the chain mechanism that is attached to the floodgate. Attach the handle to it and open the floodgate. Return to the boat panel in the upper side of the room and fall down the waterfall and go through the entrance you just opened.

Sail east until you get to the room with the wall-spears. In this room you must be an agile sailor to avoid the waves. If you hit one, you’ll sink and appear back at the entrance of the room.

In the next room a bunch of Toads will see you, sail past them and, ignoring their comments, jump down the warp pipe. In the background, head all the way west until you get to another pipe you can jump down. Jump up to the airplane panel and fly until you’re above the first pipe you come across. Press “B” to transform back, jump down the pipe, and hit the blue switch in the background. Do the same for the other switch. Once you activate both switches, the Toads, and Piantas, can escape.

Go up to them, Frankie and Francesca will tell you what happened to them, and that they heard funny noises in the room to the east. Head east to see an ominous-looking ship. Heal and save, then enter the ship. You’ll be in a small room where the ghastly voice tells you to enter the next room. When you do, you’ll see a whole bunch of treasure, then the ghost of Cortez appears. He appears weak with only 20 HP, but he has three forms! But remember, he’s just an oversized Dry Bones!

Nope, the chapter doesn’t end here either. Return to where you left all the Toads (heal before you do, of course) to find that your fight with Cortez cracked the nearby wall. Use Bobbery to blow it open. Once all the Toads and Piantas are through, go through yourself. You’ll emerge where you started the chapter (islands ARE round, of course). Grab a Whakkabump if you want and head down to where all of the Toads are and talk to Flavio. While you’re telling him of what happened, Four Eyes, or Lord Crump, will begin attacking the island. Flavio will tell you to take him back to Cortez. (Save! And heal if you need to.) Flavio will negotiate with Cortez, who’ll eventually allow you to use his ship to stop Lord Crump.

Peach’s Event:

Follow TEC’s directions to the lab. Place the potions in the machine in the following order (from left to right): red, blue, orange, and green. Turn on the machine, and when the beaker stops above one of the potions, press the corresponding button. Heat the concoction for EXACTLY 30 seconds, then drink it. You can tell if you did it wrong, the potion will be transparent if it is incorrect and green if it is right. You can drink the bad potions to watch Peach grow or shrink. Head to Sir Grodus’s room and search the bookshelf for the Data Disk. Insert the disk in his computer. Return the disk to the bookshelf and follow TEC’s instructions to return to normal.

Bowser’s Event:

Once again, there’s not much strategy involved in Bower’s mini-stage. You can talk to the citizens of Twilight Town to see what they say, but when you’re ready, talk to Lord Crump to initiate a face-off between the X-Nauts and the Koopa Clan. Your adversaries battle as competently as you’d expect based on the prior success rate of the opposing generals.

g.Chapter 6: “3 Days of Excess”

After the cutscene on Keelhaul Key, get on Cortez’s boat to ride back to Rogueport. When you arrive, Cortez says that you can use his boat whenever you like. Go to the Thousand-Year Door to learn the location of the next Crystal Star. Frankly excitedly tells you that the next Crystal Star is in Poshley Heights, no dungeons or monsters! Oh, how wrong he is...

To get to Poshley Heights, you must get a ticket for the Excess Express, the ritziest train around. Now, who do we visit for tickets? Don Pianta! When you reach his office, you’ll find that Don Pianta isn’t feeling well. His thugs will tell you that if you can bring Francesca back to him, they’ll give you a ticket.

Return to Cortez and have him take you back to Keelhaul Key. You’ll find Frankie and Francesca to the east of the shantytown. After the loooooooooong scene, head back to where you knocked Bobbery out of the palm tree, the ring is in a nearby bush. Take the ring to Francesca, and they’ll agree to return to Rogueport with you. Ride back with Cortez and head to Don Pianta’s office. After another cutscene, you’ll receive your tickets.

Your first instinct is to leave, but not yet. Head to the East Side of town into the Trouble Center. Take on the trouble left by “???”. On the top of Zess T.’s house, you’ll find Ms. Mowz. After she talks to you head to the warp pipe to the Petal Meadows. Go into Hooktail’s castle.  First head back to the room where you found the black key and look at the east wall, it’s cracked. Use Bobbery to blow it open and retrieve the Up Arrow. Now head all the way back up to the tower where you fought Hooktail. Head to the center of the room until Mario has a “!” above his head. Use Flurrie to blow away an invisible panel and open the chest to receive the badge. Head back to where you left Ms. Mowz, after you talk to her, she’ll join your party. Next head to Merlin’s house (next to Frankly’s) and give him the Up Arrow. You can now upgrade your partners one more level!

Now you may head to the Excess Express in Rogueport Station and board. Next stop; Riverside Station, then Poshley Heights!

Excess Express

Enemies: None

Star Pieces: 5

Shine Sprites: 2

Items: Ragged Diary, Mushroom, Dried Shroom, Autograph

Though Mario and his party expected the retrieval of the sixth Crystal Star to be relatively relaxing, the journey proves to be anything but. You’ll be surprised how much can happen on a three-day train ride.

Inn: The Inn is actually Mario’s room, 005.  It’s free!

Shops:

Sales Stall: The Sales Stall only closes during this chapter, and it’s only during late night. It is located in the Dining Car.

Engine: This is where the engineer works, you’ll need to talk to him later.

Green Car: This is a passenger car. 001: Zip Toad’s Room. 002: Toodles’s Room.

Red Car: This is a passenger car. 003: Tubby T’s Room. 004: Empty. 005: Mario, Goombella, Koops, Flurrie, Yoshi, Vivian, Bobbery and Ms. Mowz’s Room.

Dining Car: Where people eat, it is also the location of the Sales Stall.

Blue Car: This is a passenger car. 006: Pennington. 007: Business Ratooey. 008: Goldbob, Sylvia, and Bub’s room. Also the conductor is on this car.

Storage Car: The car where luggage and supplies are kept.

Other: The only time that the Sales Stall closes, that the time of day in the game is taken into account, and that you’ll see these particular passengers (except for Tubby T) is during this chapter.

*Dawn of the first day; 72 hours remain*

At the beginning of the chapter, you will find a threatening letter in your cabin. Take the letter to the conductor in the Blue Car on the West Side of the train. As you head back to your room, you’ll see a lot of commotion around the kitchen area. Talk to Pennington, the penguin. He’ll explain that someone has stolen a pot of stew. If you talk to him again, he’ll accuse Mario of stealing it (Hey, just because he’s a little overweight...), so you must find the pot to prove your innocence. Next you find some markings on the floor, examine them to find that they are from the stew. Follow them and they’ll lead you to room 003. Search inside the nightstand to find the Galley Pot. After Pennington talks to you and Tubby T, take the Galley Pot back to the Cheep Cheep chef. 

Head to room 006 and talk to Pennington. He will tell Luigi that he is his new assistant and instructs Luigi to check on the Bob-omb family in room 008. No, he’ll continue calling you Luigi until the final boss fight...

Enter room 008, inside talk to Bub, the little Bob-omb, and he’ll tell you what he really wants for his birthday. Talk to him two more times, then talk to the conductor outside the room. Now head to the very front of the train, to the engine. Talk to the engineer and he’ll sign an autograph for you. Take it back to Bub.

Talk to Pennington and he’ll tell you that the conductor has a problem. Talk to the conductor and he’ll tell you that there is a stowaway on the train and they are one blanket short. Agree to help him find the culprit.

Enter room 004, the empty one, and use Vivian to hide in the shadows. When Ghost T. appears, jump out and talk to him. He’ll tell you that he’ll give you the blanket for his diary. Return to the conductor and tell him, he’ll allow you to enter the Storage Car. Use your Paper Mode ability to slip between the crates of “foods”. Behind them you’ll find the Ragged Diary. DO NOT READ IT!!! Take the diary back to Ghost T. and he’ll give you the blanket, take it back to the conductor. That’s all the mysteries we can solve today. Head back to your room, 005, and get some sleep.

*Dawn of the second day; 48 hours remain.*

When you wake up, head to Pennington’s room to learn about your next two cases. Somebody has stolen the Business Ratooey’s briefcase, which contains a powerful new syrup that can raise the dead or, when combined with gold and calcium from seashells, cause a large, sticky but delicious explosion! Hmm, wasn’t Toodles missing her gold ring? And the waitress was missing her shell earrings, how mysterious!

Now head to room 001 to find a paper lying on the floor, pick it up and take it to Pennington. The Business Ratooey says it’s one of his contracts. Return to room 004 and use Vivian to hide in the shadows. Soon, Zip Toad will peek out from behind the seat; emerge from the shadows and chase him around the room. When you catch him, he’ll give up the Briefcase, Gold Ring, and Shell Earrings. The train will be arriving at Riverside Station.

When you arrive at Riverside Station, “Zip Toad”, or Doopliss as we like to call him, will escape. Before you exit the train, take the Shell Earrings to the waitress in the Dining Car and the Gold Ring to Toodles in room 002.

Riverside Station

Enemies:

Goomba: HP: 2, ATK: 1, DEF: 0

Poison Pokey: HP: 8, ATK: 3, DEF: 0

Star Pieces: 1

Shine Sprites: 2

Items: Station Key, Close Call P Badge, Thunder Rage, HP Plus Badge, P-up D-Down Badge, Ultra Boots, Elevator Key, Storage Key

Exit the Excess Express and talk to the conductor in front of the train. He’ll tell you that the drawbridge is up and needs to be lowered. He’ll give you the station key. Go up to the station door (don’t heal, you don’t need to). Inside the station, go into the door on the right wall. Using Tube Mode, roll under the latticework and hit the blue switch to make a staircase appear. Climb the stairs and enter the next room.

Here, you must jump across four differently rotating gears. On the other side, roll under the cylinder, and jump into the open one, then onto a still gear. When the barrier rises, use Koops to retrieve the Storage Key. Go back down the stairs and use the key on the door to the right. Follow the path until you reach what looks like a dead end. Use Flurrie to blow away the papers (three gusts) and enter the door.

The next room is a falling maze you go through in Tube Mode. Enter it on the left wall and wait until you're on flat ground, then roll to the right and jump just as you reach the edge and fall into the hole. If you’re short, then roll up the inclines and try again. If you overshoot, wait until you stop, then use the spring jump pad and try again. Now you should be at another hole, jump across, if you continue left, you'll find the P-Up D-Down Badge. Now fall down the hole, again, make sure you're on the left side, if you are not, you will fall on the right decline and have to do it all over again. After that just follow the path to the exit. Go into the door on your left.

In the next room, you’ll see some Goombas, they should be cake. When you defeat them all, some switches will appear, hit them the number of times indicated. When you hit them all, stairs appear. Take them to the next room, where you find the Ultra Boots.

Use your Spring Jump to reach the pipe overhead, then shimmy to the other side of the boxes and use Paper Mode to slip through the grate. In this room, hop on the boxes and ride Yoshi to the other side of the gate and use your Spring Jump while under the Elevator Key to knock it off the pedestal. Now head back to the first room of the station and use the Elevator Key to ride down the elevator to the basement. Down there you will find a horde of black creatures swarming all around. Use Flurrie to blow them all away. When they leave, pull the lever, then hit the blue switch to lower the drawbridge.

Return to your room and go to sleep.

*Dawn of the Final Day; 24 hours remain*

Ah! What a lovely day! Today you will arrive at Poshley Heights! Why don’t we go talk to the engineer? As you talk to him, the creatures from Riverside Station will attack the train!

Walk all the way back to the Storage Car and use Flurrie to save the waitress and the conductor. Now use your Spring Jump to jump up to the red pipe and follow the attackers out the back of the train. Use your hammer to clear a path and walk to the front of the train. When you do, all of the creatures will combine and form Smorg!

Poshley Heights

Enemies: None

Star Pieces: 4

Shine Sprites: 1

Items: HP Drain P Badge, Inn Coupon

Inn: The inn is the huge building in the middle of town labeled “hotel”. It’s quite expensive, but you get an Omelet Meal for staying.

Shops:

Souvenir Shop:

Toodles’s Home: This is where Toodles lives.

Penguin House: This is where a bunch of Penguins live.

Poshley Sanctum: A large shrine dedicated to the Crystal Stars.

Other: --

After you look about Poshley Heights, head to the Sanctum on the West Side of town. Read the note on the door and Pennington will approach you and tell you that he is the sanctum’s manager! He’ll unlock the sanctum for you.

Poshley Sanctum

Enemies:

Dark Boo: HP: 8, ATK: 5, DEF: 0

Star Pieces: 0

Shine Sprites: 1

Items: L Emblem Badge, Amber Crystal Star

When you enter the sanctum, you will see Beldam, Marilyn, and Doopliss (who is now concerned that people know his name) take the Crystal Star! Oh noes! Actually, Pennington informs you that the Crystal Star they took was a fake and that the real one was cleverly hidden.

Stand on the starred tile and do a Spring Jump to the overhead bar. Shimmy over to the ledge. Continue doing this until you reach an airplane panel, fly to the other side, and reach the up-most left corner and hit the blue switch to make a warp pipe appear. Jump down to it and enter the door of the painting.

Inside the second sanctum, weave around the Dark Boos and take the amber Crystal Star!

Peach’s Event:

There’s not much for you to do in Peach’s final mini-stage except walk to TEC’s room and watch a surprisingly touching cutscene unfold. If you don’t feel much animosity toward Sir Grodus at this point, you will by the time the event is over.

Bowser’s Event:

Fortunately, the always-loveable Bowser manages to lighten things up a bit with another heaping helping of wanton destruction. You’ll play through a level that should look pretty familiar to the Koopa King, then you’ll witness a hilarious confrontation between him and a certain championship fighter.

h.Chapter 7: “Mario Shoots the Moon”

The Excess Express will arrive at Rogueport Station, exit and head for the Thousand-Year Door. The Crystal Star seems to have appeared in an odd place. When you show the map to Professor Frankly, he’ll ask to look at it for a while and for you to come back later. Head to Rogueport Square and stand under the huge chest on the wooden platform that you’ve been able to see since the Prologue. Do a Spring Jump to knock it off, and open it to receive the Ultra Hammer. After your final meeting with Toadette, head back to Frankly’s. He’ll tell you that the Crystal Star is on the moon and that you can get there by getting shot out of a cannon in the Fahr Outpost. Head to the West Side of town and slip through the grate. Ride Yoshi across the platform (to the area near the door to Twilight Town), break the gray block with your hammer, and enter the blue pipe to head to the Fahr Outpost.

Fahr Outpost

Enemies:

Frost Piranha: HP: 10, ATK: 5, DEF: 0

Ice Puff: HP: 9, ATK: 4, DEF: 0

Star Pieces: 6

Shine Sprites: 2

Items: Heart Plus P Badge, Inn Coupon

It’s a good thing Mario doesn’t run around buck-naked like many other video game heroes, because it gets mighty cold at the Fahr Outpost!

Inn: The inn is in the eastern part of the Fahr Outpost. Every night you stay, you receive Space Food.

Shops: The Northwinds Market is located in the farthest east area you can be, it is the middle building.

Other: The enemies in Fahr Outpost can freeze you, so try using items and attacks that attack multiple enemies at once. Also the Chill Out Badge is useful. If one character gets frozen, it might not be a bad idea to run away, unless you think the other character can hold the enemies off.

When you arrive at the outpost, you need to find the mayor, he’s the green Bob-omb in the east half of the outpost. When you talk to him, make sure Admiral Bobbery is your active partner. The mayor will tell you that to use the cannon you must get permission from Goldbob, and you need to find General White to operate it.

Head back to Rogueport Station and ride the Excess Express back to Poshley Heights (you can also use a warp pipe in the sewers, but I’m not getting into that). Once you arrive, you’ll find Goldbob in front of the blue house in the west part of town; he’s the golden Bob-omb with a top hat. When he asks how much you’re willing to pay him, answer “Everything I have!” then answer “yes” to everything he asks. He’ll give you your coins back as well as the Goldbob Guide. Now, General White is harder to find.

You can probably remember seeing him in Petalburg, so head there first. Talk to the Koopa Troopa standing at the entrance to town. He’ll say that General White went to an island in the south. Head down to Keelhaul Key and talk to Pa-Patch in the shantytown. He’ll point you to Glitzville. Take the Cheep Blimp up to Glitzville and talk to the juice shop owner (the guy who gave you the Super Hammer). He’ll tell you that General White went to a huge tree... or not. Now make your way back to the Great Tree in the Boggly Woods and talk to the Puni closest to the door. The Puni will say that General White went someplace dark. Now make your way up to Twilight Town and talk to the Twilighter in front of the inn. He’ll say that General White left, but he doesn’t know where to. Head back to the Fahr Outpost and talk to the mayor. While you're speaking to him, you’ll see General White walk out of the house behind you. Walk in it and “talk” to General White and wake him up. When he wakes up head back outside and talk to the mayor, then follow him to the cannon area.

Get ready for my favorite cutscene in the whole game. The music is great and everything is followed up by a large explosion after which you get to see an “enemy” we haven’t seen since Super Mario World, Parachute Bob-ombs. Anyhow, no action needed here, just talk to the mayor and Mario will be blasted to the moon.

The Moon

Enemies:

Mini-Z-Yux: HP: 2, ATK: 0, DEF: 0

Moon Cleft: HP: 6, ATK: 5, DEF: 5

Z-Yux: HP: 7, ATK: 4, DEF: 0

Star Pieces: 1

Shine Sprites: 0

Items: Stop Watch, Volt Shroom, Power Punch, Ruin Powder, Courage Shell.

After something of a rough landing, you’ll find yourself on the moon. The reduced gravity on the surface enables you to jump higher, but it also slows you down, making it more difficult to evade enemies.

Other: If you continue walking east or west after 6 areas, you’ll be back where you started. The moon is round, duh!

Go east or west three areas and in the third you should see a building in the background. Use Bobbery to blow up a cracked rock to reveal a warp pipe. Jump down it and walk to the building in the background.

????? (X-Naut Fortress)

Enemies:

Elite X-Naut: HP: 10, ATK: 5, DEF: 1

Mini-X-Yux: HP: 1, ATK: 0, DEF: 0

Mini-Yux: HP: 1, ATK: 1, DEF: 0

Star Pieces: 2

Shine Sprites: 0

Items: Super Shroom, Elevator Key x2, Feeling Fine P Badge, Feeling Fine Badge, Sleepy Sheep, Card Key x4, Cog, HP Drain, Ultra Shroom

Other: The third room on Sublevel2 has a teleporter you can use to go back to the Rogueport Sewers. The room it leads to will always be unlocked once you come through it.

Be ready, as soon as you enter the X-Naut Fortress, you’ll be attacked by two Elite X-Nauts. If you attack them quickly and efficiently, they shouldn’t give you much trouble.

Walk across the hall past the elevator and into the first light panel room. The panels that you need to walk on will light up; memorize the path. When they go out, walk along the correct path and get the Elevator Key out of the chest. After you open the chest, the panels will deactivate and you can walk straight back.

Insert the Elevator Key in the elevator in the hall and head to Sublevel 2, head left and enter the door at the end of the hall. Here is another light panel puzzle. This time the panels won’t light up, but the correct path is in a picture on the back of the room, also the correct panels are a little off-color. Take the Red Card Key from the chest. Now head to the right end of the hallway and enter Sir Grodus’s office and take the Green Card Key from behind his desk.

Take the elevator to Sublevel 1,head to the terminal on your right and enter the access code 014029. Enter the room, talk to the metallic Twomp, and choose, “Challenge this chump!” You’ll take part in The 66^th annual Quirk Quiz. If you lose, you have to fight TWO X-Yux, but you shouldn’t have to if you read this correctly.
 
 

Once on Sublevel 3, head to your left for your final light panel puzzle. This time you must step on the panels while they are still lit up. Three panels will light up at a time, so you’ll have enough time to get to the next one. When you reach the other side, you’ll get the yellow Card Key.

Enter the door at the other end of the hallway.  Enter the cards in the following order on the terminals from left to right: Red, Yellow, and Green. When you get all three the door will unlock. Walk through it.

Walk up to the fence with a blue switch on the other side. Throw Bobbery over and have him explode next to the switch to activate the conveyor belt. Slip through the bars using Paper Mode, and have Vivian pull you into the shadows to get past the barrier.

Ride the lift to the platform above you, and then jump to a horizontal moving lift and ride to the warp pipe. Warp to the background and work your way all the way to the right and jump down the warp pipe that lands you near an airplane panel. Use the airplane panel to fly to the platform with the blue Card Key. Take the Card Key and head back to the lift near the conveyer belt. Ride it and the horizontal one back to the warp pipe and warp into the background again. This time, make your way to the warp pipe in the middle (it looks like it’s inside a red box, but you can jump to it. Use it to warp to the foreground and ride the lifts to the right to a blue switch. Hit it to make a staircase appear, jump up that and use the blue Card Key in the terminal to unlock the door. When you’re ready for your boss fight, go through to meet up with Lord Crump, again.

Bowser’s Event:

In the final Bowser event (awww!), the only thing you have to do is examine the lock on the entrance to the Poshley Sanctum. That will trigger a cutscene in which the penguin with the improbably large brain meets the Koopa King with the impressively sharp teeth. There’s also a thinly veiled shot at Luigi, which I wholly disapprove of. >_>

Before the next chapter begins, you must leave the X-Naut Fortress. You’ll find the doors to anywhere are locked, take the elevator to Sublevel 4 and head to your right into TEC’s room. He’ll tell you what happened and will tell you were Princess Peach is. When he is finished, head to Sublevel 2 and use the teleporter to head back the Rogueport Sewers.

i.Chapter 8: “The Thousand-Year Door”

When you exit the teleportation room, Professor Frankly will greet you. After you tell him what happened, he’ll tell you to head for the Thousand-Year Door. Take care of whatever you need to now, after you get too far in this chapter, it’s hard to come back. When you’re ready, head down to the Thousand-Year Door. This time the light show will be different in that the Thousand-Year Door, will open! When you’re ready, enter the door.

The Palace of Shadow will put all of your skills and partnerships to the test. It also seems to be a hot spot among Mario’s enemies—you’ll face no fewer than five boss battles by the end.

After the staircases, you’ll be in a hallway where spikes will rise out of the floor. Walk slowly and carefully through here (a good place to have the Slow Go Badge on), the spikes will rise before you step on them.

In the next hallway, you’ll have to jump over fire, do so carefully. When you get to the part with oncoming rows of flames, jump over the low ones and use Vivian to duck underneath the high ones.

Get ready for a flashback! In the next room, examine the pile of Dark Bones in front of the door, when you do it’ll jump to life and fill the room with Dry Bones. This time, the Dark Bones will run about the room, chase it down and initiate a fight with it. Instead of a Red Bones with a team of Dull Bones, it’s a Dark Bones with a team of Dry Bones. Vivian or Bobbery will come in handy; if you KO them with fire or explosion, they’ll leave forever and not come back. When you win, you’ll receive a Palace Key.

Two rooms later you’ll be in a room with four doors, two high, two low. This room is like a maze. You’ll know which door you need to go through because a red torch will be lit near it, but for less suffering here is the order: bottom, bottom, top, top, bottom, top, bottom.

In the next area, just ignore the tower in the back and walk all the way across to the door on the right. Now you’ll walk through four hallways. No traps, just enemies. At the end of the fourth, you’ll see a save block, save and get ready for a boss encounter.

Return to the large room with the fountain. Throw Bobbery into the mouths of the Chain Chomp statues to uncover warp pipes. Jump down them to go to the background and hit the two blue switches, then use the uncovered boat panels and sail to the tower and head inside.

In the tower, you will be required to find eight palace keys by solving cryptic clues, fortunately you have this guide, so I can just tell you how to get them. First head to the room on the left on the first floor, on the other side h it the switch on the left three times and the one on the right two times, and grab the key. Next head to the door to the right of the entrance, stand in the middle of the room, and have Madam Flurrie use her Gale Force to uncover a chest, then grab the key. Now head to the door just north of you, you should see walls in this room, just walk through it, hit the switch, and grab the key. Head to the second floor and to the room on the bottom left, on the other side, you must defeat the bone family from weakest to strongest, in this order; Dull BonesàRed BonesàDry BonesàDark Bones. Now hit the switch that appears and grab the key. Now head to the bottom-right door, inside have Vivian pull you into the shadows. Memorize where the switch is because it’ll disappear when you pop out of the ground. Hit it and grab the key. Now head to the top-right door and have Bobbery explode next to the wall. On the other side, grab the key. The top-left rooms on both floors are connected; if you destroy a gray block in one room, the corresponding red block in the other room will disappear. Work to destroy all eight blocks, hit the blue switches, and grab the keys. Now head to the third floor, put the Star Key in the pedestal, and put a Palace Key in each pillar, no particular order. You’ll hear a sound in the distance.

Leave the tower and save and heal because when you cross the bridge on the right, you’ll be attacked.

In the next room, hold Koops down next to the switch and run up the stairs. When you let Koops go, quickly jump across the way, then go down the stairs and into the next room.

Go through the door on the left and hit the small green box with your hammer. Go back to the second hallway and ride Yoshi across the gap where the large green block used to be.

Climb the stairs and fall down the gap. Hit the small purple block and quickly get on the large one before it rises. When it’s at the top, ride Yoshi across the gap and hit the small red block. When it’s at the top hold Koops next to the small red block and get on the large one, release Koops and as the block falls, jump to the right. Roll into a tube, jump over the gap, and go through the door.

Use the Spring Jump to jump up to the pipe and shimmy until you get to the end, then drop down and go through the door. In the next room, climb up the stairs and throw Bobbery over the ledge when you get to it and jump across the ledge that appears.

Climb the rest of the stairs, then jump down to the bottom platform of the giant wheel and use Koops to grab the key. Drop down and climb the stairs again and go through the locked door. Climb up the stairs and hit the switches so that the stairs are illuminated in the following order from left to  right: second, fourth, fifth and seventh. When you have them correct the giant wheel will turn, ride it to the other side then climb down all the stairs and go through the door. On the other side have Flurrie blow away the block and have Mario smash the block to reveal a wooden panel. Execute a Spin Jump to fall through the floor, and go through the door.

Very carefully walk across the narrow path. On the other side use the paper airplane and fly to the ledge with a door on it. Land and go through. In the next room, you have to be quick. Hit the switch and quickly ride Yoshi across the ledge that appears. Grab the key out of the chest.

Now for the ultimate flight test, when you come back out the door, drop down and walk all the way to the left, then jump up the spring jump pad. Walk to the airplane panel and fly all the way to the complete other side of the hall. Use the key on the door and go through.

The next room is a large, fancy room. All it has is a save and heal box at the other end. Try to make sure you have at least 80 Star Points before you go through the door, you’ll have to face the next two bosses right after another, so be ready!

When you enter the next room, you’ll see Sir Grodus and Princess Peach, but you’ll be too late to stop anything. You’ll see a cutscene where the Shadow Queen rises from her tomb, destroys Sir Grodus, and has a good laugh with Beldam, Marilyn, and Doopliss. Then she will inhabit Princess Peach’s body. The Shadow Queen asks if you want to be her servant, you'll of course answer “no” (or else), and she will attack you.

Congratulations!!! You’ve beaten Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door!

Mario will later receive a letter from Goombella. She lets you know how everybody is. She is continuing research with Professor Frankly. She tells you that Koops is back home living the leisure life with his father and Koopie Koo. Madam Flurrie has returned to the stage and is re-enacting her adventure with Mario, and guess who’s playing Mario? Doopliss! Yoshi is back in Glitzville fighting to the top and says he’ll take the Great Gonzallas on anytime! Vivian is back with her sisters, but Beldam and Marilyn have taken a turn for the good and all three are living in harmony. Admiral Bobbery has taken to the high seas and Goombella hardly sees him. Ms. Mowz has returned to her sneaky badge-finding ways. She also saw Sir Grodus, Lord Crump, and some X-Nauts in Poshley Heights. Sir Grodus is still just a head, and the whole group seems to have taken a turn for the good. Plus, TEC seems to have come back online, yay!

At this point, your game will save and you can continue playing. Mario will start off in Rogueport with Goombella at his side. You’ll have everything you ended the game with. Now get out there and finish everything else. Did you get all of the Star Pieces and Shine Sprites?  Did you find all of the badges? Have you made all of the recipes in Zess T’s Kitchen? Did you complete the Trouble Center? What about the Pit of 100 Trials? Better get to work!

Information Journal

1.Tattle Log

Mario’s foes are many and varie. In the following bits of text, I’ve listed every enemy alphabetically with its stats, the location of its first appearance, its tattle log number, its attacks and, a brief description provided by Goombella.

1.Book Worm

When you use Goombella’s Tattle on an enemy during a fight she’ll look it up in her book and add the baddie to your Tattle Log. You can then reference her findings at any time via the Journal option in the Start menu. Once you’ve tattled on an enemy, its HP bar will always appear beneath it during battle.

2.Lost Knowledge

If you’ve missed the opportunity to Tattle on an enemy (you’ll fight most bosses only once, for example), you can still add it to you Tattle Log. Just search the yellow trash can in Professor Frankly’s house once you’ve vanquished the foe. An entry will appear in the trash only if you can never fight the enemy again.

3.Peekaboo Badge

Just a side note, if you’re trying to get the tattle logs on all the enemies, the easiest way to tell if you have gotten the log on an enemy is by initiating a battle against it, and seeing if you can see their HP bar. But, if you have the Peekaboo Badge equipped, the enemy’s HP bar will always be visible, so make sure you don’t have that badge equipped when you're going log hunting.

4.Special Moves

The star-powered special moves are the mightiest weapons in your arsenal, but you have to know how to use them. That’s where this section comes in. Read on for an explanation of each move.

Sweet Treat

SP: 1

Required: Mystical Map, a visit to the Thousand-Year Door

With the Sweet Treat, you can restore Heart Points to both you and your companion, as well as Flower Points. A targeting reticule will move up and down in an arc in front of Mario as icons fall from above. Flick the Control Stick left to shoot the flower and heart icons. Each one will replenish a point. Avoid hitting the Poison Mushrooms, though; they’ll prevent you from firing for a few moments.

Earth Tremor

SP: 2

Required: The Diamond Star from Hooktail Castle

The Earth Tremor shakes the ground to damage every enemy onstage. Press the A button as the gauge passes through each circle. The longer you can go without missing a circle (up to five gauges), the more damage the attack will inflict. Each gauge moves faster than the last.

Damage: 1 to 6 HP

Clock Out

SP: 2

Required: The Emerald Star from The Great Tree

Immobilize all of your enemies for a short period of time with Clock Out. The attack plays out like a game of hot potato. Press the button that appears over your opponents to toss the boss at them, then mash on the button as fast as possible (note that the button changes every couple of seconds). The better you do, the longer your foes will be unable to move.

Power Lifts

SP: 3

Required: The Gold Star from the Glitz Pit

If executed well, the Power Lift will increase you party’s Attack and Defense power briefly. Position the targeting reticule over the orange and blue arrows that appear on the three-by-three grid, and press A to fill meters to the left. Avoid the Poison Mushrooms. You’ll receive +1 to ATK every time you fill the orange meter, and +1 to your DEF every time you fill the blue meter.

Art Attack

SP: 4

Required: The Ruby Star from Creepy Steeple

The Art Attack damages all enemies that you encircle with the star. Simply manipulate the Control Stick to draw circles around the desired targets. The circles don’t have to be perfect, but they must be completely enclosed. If you’re a veteran of Bill Cosby’s PicturePages, this should be a cakewalk.

Damage: Unlimited HP

Sweet Feast

SP: 5

Required: The Sapphire Star from Pirate’s Grotto

The Sweet Feast is similar to the Sweet Treat, but you can launch stars rapid-fire by simply holding the Control Stick to the left instead of flicking it (you’ll still want to let up on the stick to avoid hitting Poison Mushrooms). Additionally, the large icons will each replenish five Heart Points or Flower Points when you hit them.

Showstopper

SP: 2

Required: The Amber Star from Poshley Sanctum

The Showstopper can defeat all of your opponents with a single blow (it doesn’t work against bosses, though). Press the buttons in the order they appear onscreen. There are five sequences in all—the more of them you complete, the better your chances of annihilating your foes.

Supernova

SP: 6

Required: The Crystal Star from the X-Naut Fortress

The Supernova doesn’t actually involve the explosion of a very large star in which the star may reach a maximum intrinsic luminosity one billion times that of the sun. But it does deal massive damage to every enemy onstage. Just mash the A Button as quickly as possible to fill the gauge repeatedly.

Damage: 0 to 15 HP
