==============
2) CHARACTERS
==============
This section contains info on the characters and their abilities.

-----
Mario
-----
The main character and hero of the game. You must always have him in
your party throughout the entire game. Mario is a fairly good fighter,
armed with his Lazy Shell, he can cause some major damage! Also his Jump
specials are very effective if you can time it right. So, he's basically
balanced in attack and specials.

Weapons w/ Timed Hits:
Punch - Press A before you hit the enemy for another punch.
Hammer - Before he swings the hammer, hit A for another hit.
Shell - Just before the shell hits his foot, press A.

Specials:
Jump (3 FP) - Jumps on an enemy. Hit Y before hitting for more damage.

Fire Orb (5 FP) - Throws fireballs at an enemy. Press Y rapidly to throw
more.

Super Jump (7 FP) - Jumps multiple times on an enemy. Press Y before
landing to execute another jump. If you can keep timing this correctly,
you can practically jump forever!

Super Flame (9 FP) - Throws larger fireballs at an enemy. Press Y
rapidly to throw more of them.

Ultra Jump (11 FP) - Just like Super Jump, but it jumps on a random
enemy.

Ultra Flame (14 FP) - Just like Super Flame, but it has larger fireballs
and randomly hits an enemy.

------
Mallow
------
Supposedly a "frog", Mallow was raised by Frogfucius. Later on, he
learns a terrifying secret about his past. His weather-related Specials
are very useful throughout most of the game. And he can read an enemy's
current HP, which can help you decide which attack you should use next.
Mallow isn't really much of a fighter, but he really shines with his
special attacks!

Weapons w/ Timed Hits:
Punch - Like Mario, hit A before hitting for another punch.
Stick - Press A before swinging the stick for another hit.
Cymbal - Just before come together for some more 'music'!

Specials:
Thunderbolt (2 FP) - Hits all enemies with thunder. Hit Y before ending
to cause more damage.

HP Rain (2 FP) - Restores HP of an ally. Press Y before ending to
recover more HP.

Psychopath (1 FP) - Read an enemy's current HP and what they are
thinking. Press Y when the cloud appears to read their thoughts.

Shocker (8 FP) - Big bolt of lightning hits an enemy. Press Y when hits
to cause more damage.

Snowy (12 FP) - A big snowman appears on all enemies. Rotate the Control
Pad to create more damage.

Star Rain (14 FP) - A giant star hits all enemies. Press Y before it
hits so the star bounces on the enemy again.

----
Geno
----
Coming from "above", Geno takes control of Gaz's doll. He is helping
Mario collect the Star Pieces so he can repair the Star Road. His base
strength is pretty high, and a few of his specials are quite useful.

Weapons w/ Timed Hits:
Punch - Like the others, hit A before punching.
Gun - Press A before firing for more damage.

Specials:
Geno Beam (3 FP) - Fires a beam of energy at an enemy. Hold Y until 3
stars appear for more damage.

Geno Boost (4 FP) - Very useful! Boosts attack power of an ally, hit Y
after the arrows disappear to boost defense.

Geno Whirl (8 FP) - Time it right and normal enemies take 9,999 HP
damage! Of course, it doesn't work against bosses. :(

Geno Blast (12 FP) - This attack works well against undead baddies. Hold
Y until 3 stars appear to cause more damage.

Geno Flash (16 FP) - Another cool attack with a light show! Do the 3
stars thing again for more damage.

------
Bowser
------
Can it be!? Bowser is fighting with Mario! Bowser lets the team "join"
his Koopa Troop so he can get his keep back from Smithy. Bowser is a
strong fighter, but he has the lowest magic power, so you don't use his
Specials very much. Equipping him with the Jinx Belt makes him an even
better because it boosts attack power.

Weapons w/ Timed Hits:
Claw - Hit A before swiping at an enemy for another hit.
Chomp - Just before throwing it, hit A.
Hurly Glove - Press A before picking up the doll.

Specials:
Terrorize (6 FP) - Big Boo comes and can cause Fear to some enemies.
Rotate the pad for higher chance of success.

Poison Gas (10 FP) - Toxic gas appears on the enemies and can cause
Poison. Rotate the Control Pad for a higher chance.

Crusher (12 FP) - A sharp piece of rock appears under an enemy. Press Y
before it appears for more damage.

Bowser Crush (16 FP) - A giant Mecha Koopa stomps on all enemies. Hit Y
rapidly for more damage.

---------
Toadstool
---------
The princess from Mushroom Kingdom decides to join Mario on his quest.
She is very good to have in battle because of her healing specials. Her
attack power is pretty low, so give the Lazy Shell armor to boost her
defense.

Weapons w/ Timed Hits:
Glove - Press A before slapping for another hit.
War Fan/Parasol - Press A before swinging for another hit.
Pan - Before swinging, press A for ANOTHER hit! (Bet you didn't know
that! :)

Specials:
Therapy (2 FP) - Restores HP/Status of an ally. Press Y before it ends
for more HP.

Group Hug  (4 FP) - Same as Therapy but on all allies! The healing
amount is slightly lower than Therapy though.

Sleepy Time (4 FP) - Puts some enemies to sleep. Rotate the pad for a
higher chance.

Come Back (2 FP) - Revives and restores 1/2 HP of fallen ally. Press Y
when the star hits the character for full HP.

Mute (3 FP) - Can Mute enemies. Rotate the Control Pad for a longer
effect.

Pysch Bomb (15 FP) - Press Y rapidly to drops tons of bombs on all
enemies!

===============
3) WALKTHROUGH
===============

-------------
Bowser's Keep
-------------
Make your way through the keep until you reach the room filled with
Terrapins. Jump and dodge you way through them, and at the door you
fight four of them. One punch is enough to take one out, so you
shouldn't have much problems. In the room with the chandeliers, you can
find Bowser and the Princess tied up. When you fight him, aim for the
chain called Kinklink. Hit it a few times and it will lose grip of the
chandelier. Just when Mario is about to get the Princess, a giant sword
appears and lands in the keep! This sends Bowser and Toadstool in
different directions. Mario ends up back at his house...

-----------
Mario's Pad
-----------
Talk to Toad and save your game before revisiting Bowser's Keep. The
giant sword that landed in the keep destroys the bridge! Now what will
Mario do? Go back to his house and talk to Toad. He mentions that you
should visit the Chancellor at Mushroom Kingdom. Go to the exit and
Mario bumps into Toad. He teaches you about Items and Timed Hits and he
gives you 4 Mushrooms. Exit the area and head to Mushroom Way.

------------
Mushroom Way
------------
This is a good area to practice your skills in battle. Along the way,
you can find Toad trapped by an enemy. Free him by fighting the enemy
and doing so gets you a reward. If you need to rest, visit Mario's
house. At the end of the area, Toad is trapped by the Hammer Bros.
Before fighting them, build your levels to 2 or 3 and then take them on!

*********************************************************************
  BOSS: Hammer Bros.                            HP: 50

You face two of them. Two Jump specials can take one out, so use them
one of 'em. The remaining Brother will use "Valor Up" which increases
his defense. Use any FP leftover on the Jump attack, then bash him with
normal ones. If your HP gets low, use a Mushroom.

  EXP: 6               Coins: 20                Items: Flower Jar
*********************************************************************

Once you defeat them, a Hammer is left on the ground. Equip it to boost
Mario's attack by 10, then head into the kingdom.

----------------
Mushroom Kingdom
----------------
When you enter here, go to the Item Shop for some things and talk to the
people. Then go to the castle where Toad is waiting for you and follow
him to the Chancellor. The Chancellor gives you a Map and tells you to
go to the vault. Talk to the guard and he teaches about Coins, Flower
Points, and Mushrooms found in treasure boxes. Exit the castle, and a
crocodile steals a coin from someone. Talk to the person he stole it
from to find out that it's Mallow from Tadpole Pond. Mario joins him to
get the coin back from Croco. Go to the shop, and get the armor for
Mallow. Then talk to the guard who keeps jumping. He says he saw the
person who stole the coin and then Croco runs out of the kingdom. Go and
follow him to Bandit's Way.

------------
Bandit's Way
------------
You chase Croco throughout this area. This is the first area where you
use this level up trick! Go where there is a star in a treasure box, but
don't use it. Save before using it, then you can open the box and get
the star. Once you are done using the star, die in battle. Then you
appear back where you saved, but with all your levels and EXP! Also the
star will still be in the box. So you can do this as much as you like.
Use the trick here until your levels are at least 4. In the last area,
Croco goes into hiding. Sneak up behind him three times and you fight
him.

*********************************************************************
  BOSS: Croco                                   HP: 320

He has a weakness to fire, so use Mario's Fire Orb to cause some damage.
When you hit him with fire, he doesn't attack for a turn or two. Have
Mallow stay in Defend and have him heal, and use items when needed. His
bomb attacks cause 10+ damage, so watch out! When his HP is low, he uses
"Weird Mushroom" which recovers 60 HP. Eventually, Mallow punches Croco
and gets the coin back.

  EXP: 8               Coins: 10                Items: Flower Tab
*********************************************************************

Mallow now has his Frog Coins back! You also find a Wallet left behind
by Croco. Hop on the Warp Trampoline and go to Mushroom Kingdom.

----------------
Mushroom Kingdom
----------------
When you get back, a dark cloud has appeared the area and Shysters are
scaring everybody! Defeat the Shyster chasing the man near where you
came in and give him his Wallet. He gives a Flower Tab in return. For
another Tab, enter the house to the far left from where you came in and
beat the Shysters inside. The family gives you the item. After
eliminating the Shysters, go into the castle. Save Toad and he goes into
the next room. Beat the enemies there and next room after that. Then you
get another Flower Tab and he tells you that the Chancellor is still in
the throne room! Go back to the Vault and take the items there. Go into
the nearby room and talk to the person there. He gives you a Wake Up
Pin. Now, build your levels to about 5 or 6 and then head to the throne
room. There you meet Mack which is the person causing the havoc around
here. Since he doesn't want you to stop him, you have to deal with him!

*********************************************************************
  BOSS: Mack / Bodyguard                         HP: 480 / 30

This guy isn't that hard. Use Mallow's Thunderbolt to get rid of his
minions for a little while, then have Mario use Super Jump on him once
if you have it. Have Mario do regular attacks while Mallow heals/uses
items. His Bodyguards come back eventually, but now as soon you get rid
of them, they come back so just ignore them.

  EXP: 12               Coins: 20                Items: None
*********************************************************************

Once you beat him, you get a Star Piece, which you learn more about
later. Mallow suggests going to his Grandpa in Tadpole Pond, but first
head back to the Item Shop to get the item Mallow wanted earlier with
his Frog Coin. Then leave and head to Kero Sewers.

-----------
Kero Sewers
-----------
This area introduces swimming and using pipes. Enter the pipe and save
your game. This area is confusing, so listen carefully. From the Save
Block, go into the nearby pipe in that room. From that one, go down and
enter the pipe there. From there, go right and jump over the Rat Funk
that's on the ledge and enter that pipe. In that room, hit the "!"
Switch to drain the water. Go back through the pipe you came and enter
the pipe that was underwater. Now you should be in the area that was
above the "!" Switch. Enter that pipe and you land right in front of
Belome. Before fighting him, build your levels to about 7. If you search
the pipe near the underwater one, you can find a treasure box with enemy
in it called Pandorite. Beating him will get you a Trueform Pin, which
will help against Belome. Equip the pin with Mario, and go fight Belome.

*********************************************************************
  BOSS: Belome                                   HP: 500

Beat him like the other bosses. He's weak to Thunder, so use as much as
you can. At one point in battle, he uses the "S'crow Funk" attack which
turns Mario into a scarecrow if you don't have the Trueform Pin
equipped! Then he swallows Mallow, turning the battle into a one-on-one
fight. Use Mario's normal and special attacks and use a Mushroom if his
HP is low. Eventually, he spits Mallow back out, ending the battle.

  EXP: 15               Coins: 40                Items: None
*********************************************************************

When you beat him, water comes gushing out...sending the team into the
Midas River mini-game. Two caves on the waterfall contain a Flower in
them. After completing the waterfall, you go the barrel jumping event.
You don't need to collect a lot of coins for now, but you can if you
want. For more info on this mini-game, check out the "Mini-Games"
section. After beating that, the guy there gives you a Noknok Shell, so
equip it now and head to Tadpole Pond.

------------
Tadpole Pond
------------
Go straight ahead and step on the stone block to talk to the tadpole.
Then Frogfucius comes. Go across the pond to his sanctuary and talk to
him. He explains about what happened at the keep earlier and about
someone named Smithy who causing the trouble around the world. Then he
says that Mallow isn't a tadpole and now he must search for his real
parents. Afterwards, talk to him again and hand over the Cricket Pie
from the Mushroom Kingdom. He gives you Mallow's first weapon, the
Froggie Stick. Before you go, head over to right to visit Melody Bay.
Toadofsky needs your help with his music, so play this tune :

               --------------------------------------
                          O
               ----------------O-------O-------O-----

               -------O------------O-------O---------

               ---O----------------------------------

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

Playing this melody will get an Alto Card, which can get you more items
in the Juice Bar in this area. Now leave and go to Rose Way!

--------
Rose Way
--------
In the first area you use the yellow tiles to move around. Going to the
upper-left area, you can get a Frog Coin in a Treasure Box. Use the
tiles to go to the upper-right area. After passing through there, use
these tiles to get to the lower-right section. Here you can find Shyguys
on top of Treasure Boxes. Four of them contain 5 coins while the other
one has a mushroom in it. If you exit and come back to this section, the
chests are refilled! In the next area, you find Bowser and his Koopa
Troop. Bowser can't get back into his castle, but he's trying to find a
way. Continue on and enter Rose Town.

---------
Rose Town
---------
Looks like someone is busy shooting arrows at the townspeople. But these
arrows freeze the person they hit! Enter the Inn to find a kid playing
with his toy Mario, Bowser and Toadstool dolls. Mario decides to play
with him. Gaz ends up shooting Mario with the gun from the Geno doll,
causing Mario to collapse and waking up in bed. Meanwhile, a spirit
takes control of the Geno doll and leaves the town. Gaz says he saw Geno
go into Forest Maze! Before you go, visit the shops and buy some
supplies. In the corner of the town, a man is left out of his house.
Jump on his head and go in the house and hit the "!" Switch. If you
want, you can take the 2 Flowers in the boxes. The man tells to go Left,
Left, Straight, Right in the "maze" area of the forest. Now exit and go
to Forest Maze.

-----------
Forest Maze
-----------
Throughout this area are Mushrooms, you can pick up some to use in
upcoming battles. But some come to life and attack you! Here's another
neat trick. When you enter here, go to the first Wiggler. If you can
jump on him 10 times (Not in battle), you get one Frog Coin along with
10 coins! Keep going through the forest until you reach an area with a
bunch of tree trunks. Enter the one at the far end and jump on the
sleeping Wiggler. Now you have access to another area. Keep going until
you reach a Save Block. Now save your game and enter the maze area. If
you follow the directions you were told at Rose Town, you can find a
hidden entrance to a treasure room. BUT follow the directions from
Mario's perspective! For more info on it, check the "Secrets" section.
Follow Geno through this area. After following him, you should be where
the guy shooting the arrows is. Before you go in there, build your
levels to least 8. When you enter, one of Bowyer's Flunkies finds a Star
and Geno comes in. They fight and Mario and Mallow decide to help Geno
out.

*********************************************************************
  BOSS: Bowyer                                   HP: 720

Use Geno's special attack for now while Mario should use normal attacks
and Mallow does the usual. Then Bowyer has trick up his sleeve...when an
arrow hits Y, X or A, you can't use that command! Geno is pretty weak at
this point, so watch his HP level.

  EXP: 20               Coins: 50                Item: Flower Box
********************************************************************

Now, Geno explains about the Star Pieces and Star Road. He joins you to
get all the stars back so he can repair Star Road. Before spending 50
coins on a weapon for Geno, go to Rose Town and talk to Gaz. He gives
the Finger Shot for him. Now head to Pipe Vault.

-------------------------
Pipe Vault / Yo'ster Isle
-------------------------
Going through this area allows you to reach Yo'ster Isle, home of the
Yoshis! Here, you can play a Goomba Thumping game. You can play if you
want a Flower Tab or Jar. Beware of Chompweeds in the area, you lose 2
coins each time you are hit! Once get through here, you get to the
island. Mario meets his old pal, Yoshi. Talk to him and hop on. Now, you
need to race Boshi. Talk to the pink Yoshi near where you came in and he
gives you some Yoshi Cookies. Talk to Boshi so you can race him. To gain
speed in the Mushroom Derby, you need to alternate A and B to the beat
of the music.  After beating him, all the Yoshis are able to race
together and Yoshi gives you 3 Yoshi Cookies. Time to move onto
Moleville. For more info on these two games, check out the "Mini-Games"
section.

---------
Moleville
---------
As usual, hit the shops and buy supplies. Go to the mountain to see
Bowser and his very small Koopa Troop. Then talk to the moles at the
mountain. They say that a star crashed into the mountain and trapped two
kids! Go inside and enter the coal mines. Hop on the trampoline inside
and Mario faints. Croco then steals all your coins! Chase him through
the area. Before fighting him, fight his minions and after each battle
you get a Flower Tab. When you are ready, keep chasing him and run into
him.

*********************************************************************
  MINI-BOSS: Croco                               HP: 750

He isn't that difficult. Mario and Geno should use normal attacks while
Mallow goes into Defense and heals. Geno's and Mario's normal attacks
usually inflict about 50 HP, so this battle shouldn't take long. Croco's
bomb attacks can cause a fair amount damage, so watch what you do. After
sustaining about 340 HP damage, Croco steals your items! When he does
that, have all 3 characters attack him.

  EXP: 10               Coins: 50                Items: None
*********************************************************************

After the battle, you get back your items and coins. He leaves behind a
Bambino Bomb. Go deeper into the mine and talk to the mole. Mario gives
him the bomb, and it blows up the wall. You can find another star here,
so use the trick to build your levels to 10. Save your game at the block
and enter the room. Here is where you find Punchinello. To fight him,
jump on him or approach from the side, otherwise he knocks you back.

*********************************************************************
  BOSS: Punchinello                            HP: 1200

Have all characters attack him with normal attacks. When the bombs come
in, just ignore them and concentrate your attacks on Punchinello. Each
time he takes a certain amount of damage, he increases the sizes of
bombs which causes more damage when they hit you. After you beat him, he
makes a big bomb fall that ends up landing on him!

  EXP: 0               Coins: 0                Item: None
*********************************************************************

After the battle, you find another Star Piece. Go through the hole in
the wall and you find Dyna trying to push a trolley car. Mario gets it
going and you start the mini-game. Just complete it for now. For more
info on this mini-game, check out the "Mini-Games" section. The cart
drops through the roof of the home of Dyna. Exit the house and the
Snifits mention of "The princess from the sky". That might be
Toadstool... Exit Moleville and go to Booster Pass. Also, if you want
the Tenor Card at Tadpole Pond, go to Melody Bay and play this:

                --------------------------------------
                    0
                --------------------0-----------------
                        0       0                 0
                -------------------------0------------
                                              0
                ------------0-------------------------

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

----------------------------
Booster Pass / Booster Tower
----------------------------
When you enter here, examine the second bush for a Frog Coin. In the
second area of Booster Pass, you can find a Flower in the corner. There
is a hidden switch in the second area if you want to eliminate the
enemies in the holes. At Booster Tower, you find Bowser there. And
Toadstool is at the top of the tower! When Bowser leaves, try to open
the door and leave. Then he comes back and knocks down the door. He lets
you "join" his Koopa Troop. Enter the tower. The tower isn't very
difficult to navigate, but there are some goodies that can be missed. If
you go straight ahead into the room from the start you can find a
teeter-toter with a Bob-omb on it. If you jump on it from high above,
the Bob-omb sends Mario into the air and you can get the Masher weapon.
When you find the "!" switch, hit it and a cave appears at Booster Pass.
In there, you find three boxes containing a Flower, Frog Coin, and a
Kerokero Cola. Some point in the tower, you run into a room with the
pictures of the Booster generations, but they are mixed up. Flip the
pictures in this order: 4-5-3-6-2-1. Doing so gets you the Elder Key,
which unlocks the nearby door. In that room, you get a weapon for
Bowser, the Chomp. In the room with the coins on the floor, there is the
Room Key. Be careful where you walk because you can run into a battle
with an enemy called Fireball. Get the key and unlock the door. Inside
is a treasure box with the Zoom Shoes. Once you reach the final room,
try to open the door to rescue the Princess. Mario can't open it and
Booster is coming, so he hides behind the curtains. Booster wants his
Mario doll and he can't find it, so he makes the Snifits search behind
the curtains. If you don't get caught, jump up to get the doll back to
him. He then gives you an Amulet as a reward. If you get caught three
times you must fight him! Try not to get caught because this is a very
hard battle.

*********************************************************************
  BOSS: Booster / Snifits (Optional Boss)         HP: 800 / 200

When you start the battle, to damage Booster you have to take out the 3
Snifits. Stick to normal attacks on the Snifits because they usually
Silence your party. Booster has a weakness to jump attacks, so have
Mario use Super Jump on him when you can. His Loco Express attack can
cause 70+ HP damage to an ally, and his Spritz Bomb can cause 45+ HP
damage to one ally!

  EXP: 22               Coins: 145                Item: Mushroom
*********************************************************************

Afterwards, head the balcony and you run into Knife Guy and Grate Guy.
Here's another boss!

*********************************************************************
  BOSS: Knife Guy / Grate Guy                    HP: 700 / 900

Each of them a weakness. Grate Guy is weak to thunder, while Knife Guy
is weak to fire. So focus your attacks on one of them and keep doing
that. Then they stand on each other. Still do the same and one of them
should disappear soon. Then finish off the other one.

  EXP: 30               Coins: 25                Item: Flower Jar
*********************************************************************

Then Mario runs to Booster Hill.

------------------------
Booster Hill / Marrymore
------------------------
On Booster Hill, you chase Booster and Princess to Marrymore. Each you
reach the Princess, she gives you a Flower so try to get a many as you
can. For more info, check out the "Mini-Games" section. When you reach
Marrymore, go to the shops as usual. At the Hotel, if spend a certain
amount of times at the Suite, you can get some good items. The catch is
that each you stay there, it costs 200 coins! Talk to someone near the
chapel and Raz and Raini come flying out! It turns out that Booster is
inside ready to marry Toadstool. Enter the chapel from the back and go
through the room to the Snifit. He's going to warn Booster, but he can't
knock the door down. Run at the same time with him at the door to open
it. In the next room, run at the same time with Bowser to open the door.
When you get inside, Toadstool's wedding gear lands in different spots
around the room. Get the shoes, ring and brooch from the Snifits and the
crown is found on Booster's head. While you do this, candles light up.
If you collect everything and talk to Booster when there two pairs of
candles, the Princess will kiss Mario. Otherwise, Bowser and Booster
will kiss Mario! The chefs aren't too happy that you are taking away the
bride after making that big cake. So it's another fight...

*********************************************************************
  BOSS: Bundt / Raspberry                       HP: 800 / 600

Ignore Torte and attack the cake. The cake moves and after it moves a
few times, Torte gets scared and runs off. This when the cake attacks
the party. Bundt is weak to jump attacks, so you know what to do. Have
Mario use his Jump attacks, while the other two use normal ones. After a
while, the top of the cake vanishes and you must fight Raspberry. He is
no different from Bundt besides attacks. Then the Snifits come in and
Booster eats the cake.

  EXP: 25               Coins: 0               Item: None
*********************************************************************

With the Princess rescued, head back to Mushroom Kingdom. When you get
back, go talk to the Chancellor. Exit the castle and Toadstool comes
floating down with her umbrella. She now joins the group! Mallow
suggests you visit Frogfucius for where to go next. Talk to him and he
says a large star has been sighted at Star Hill. So head on over!

---------
Star Hill
---------
In this area, you can find a Star Piece lying around on the ground. From
the start, go left and "talk" to the flower to open the star door. To
pass through each area, you must talk to all the flowers. Also talk to
the stars with a face on them to see what someone has wished. Two of
them involve Mallow and there's even one with Luigi! In the fourth
section you can find the star in the upper-right corner. Also if you use
a Yoshi Cookie on Mukumuku, you get a Muku Cookie! Then go through the
star door and go to Seaside Town.

------------------
Seaside Town / Sea
------------------
The townspeople sure are acting weird... Talk to the town elder at other
end and he says he wants to get a star that fell into the sea. Now head
to the Sea! A Shaman is selling some things there, so buy what you need.
Here's another time to use the star trick! Use it to build your levels
to 13+. Once you get out of the cave, jump into the water and use the
whirlpool to get underwater. Go to the sunken ship's mast and go down
the top like a pipe. Now you should be in the Sunken Ship.

-----------
Sunken Ship
-----------
Most of the enemies are undead, so bring Pure Water and use Mallow's
Thunderbolt against Dry Bones. Just keep going until you reach an area
with a bunch of doors with a Greaper in front of it. In each room is a
puzzle and if you solve the puzzle, you get a clue to the ship's
password. You need to know the password to continue on.

1st Room : You must make the Paratroopa hit the cannonball so it hits
the switch. Lure him to the back and make him go forward.

2nd Room : Hit the switch to stop the Trampoline. When you stop all
three, a cannonball comes and bounces on them. You may need to do this a
few times to see where you should stop the trampoline so the ball lands
on it.

3rd Room : The hardest puzzle! You must make your way through a 3-D
Maze. Just jump and walk inside to get around.

4th Room : Chase and collect the coins! If you touch the coin that is
laying other coins out, you lose.

5th Room : Hit the switch to fire a cannonball. When it is under the
next switch, hit the ball so it bumps the switch. Keep repeating.

6th Room : Jump on the barrel who's color is different from the others.
Jump on it again to roll it. Roll it onto the switch and then hit the
other one.

With all the clues, you should get the password : PEARLS. In the next
room, you hit the switch until the letter you want is highlighted. The
order of the switches a U shape, so remember that when entering letters.
Then speak the password to the pipe near the door. Before you go, you
can fight Dry Bones in the room between the puzzles so you can build
your levels to 16+. Mallow can usually wipe out the entire group with
his Thunderbolt. Make sure you have Mario, Princess and another
character in your party before you enter the door. When you go through,
you face a boss...

*********************************************************************
  BOSS: King Calamari / Tentacles                HP: 800 / 200 / 260

Before you fight King Calamari, you must fight two groups of three
tentacles. All of their weak points is fire. Have Mario use fire attacks
while Toadstool heals and the other attacks. The tentacles can throw a
character out of battle, causing Fear to that person when they come back
- even if they are wearing a Fearless Pin! When you finally reach the
squid, destroy the tentacles and attack him. He is also weak to fire.
Mario's Super Flame can cause 250+ to him, which makes this a very easy
battle.

  EXP: 34               Coins: 100               Items: None
*********************************************************************

Near the Save Block in this area of the ship, there is another treasure
box with an enemy inside called Hidon. Beating him gets you a Safety
Badge. In the water room with the Bloobers, there is a hidden door
behind the barrels. Inside is a box with a Safety Ring in it. After that
room, you encounter some pirates. Use Thunderbolt to beat them. Head to
the upper deck to meet Jonathan Jones. If you want the Star from him,
you have to fight him...

*********************************************************************
  BOSS: Jonathan Jones / Bandana Blue            HP: 820 / 150

Use Mallow's Thunderbolt to wipe out the minions and then use regular
attacks on Johnny. Once he uses "Get Tough!", the battle changes to a
one-on-one fight. Mario's Specials don't cause much damage, so stick to
regular. When his HP gets lows, use a Mid Mushroom.

  EXP: 44               Coins: 50                Items: None
*********************************************************************

Once you beat him, you get the Star Piece. Now head back to Seaside
Town. When you get back, the townspeople are waiting there. But it turns
out they work for Smithy! Head over the star the first time he asks, so
the real Elder gives you a Flower Box. Follow them and make sure you
have Toadstool in your party for the next boss.

*********************************************************************
  BOSS: Yaridovich                               HP: 1500

Here's another hard boss! Mallow's Shocker works very well against him,
it can cause 100+! Have Toadstool heal and Mario use regular attacks.
When he uses the "Mirage" attack, have Mallow use Thunderbolt. The one
who takes more damage than the other is the fake one. His Water Blast
attack can inflict 30+ to each character, so be cautious.

  EXP: 40               Coins: 50                Items: None
*********************************************************************

When you win, you get the Star Piece back and a key is on the ground.
Pick up the Shed Key and unlock the shed. Inside are the real
townspeople. The Elder gives a reward for saving them. If you kept
refusing to give up the Star, you won't get a good item for your reward.
Talk to the Elder at his house and he says that a mouse mentioned a star
at Monstro Town and you have to get through Land's End to reach it. So
exit and head to Land's End!

----------
Land's End
----------
In this area, you get to use cannons. Once you reach the Donut Bridge,
jump through the hole in the wall when the cloud comes up. Go through
the cave to find the Cricket Jam at Kero Sewers, which you can give to
Frogfucius later. Exit the cave and go across the Donut Bridge to a
desert. Before you go there, you can play the mini-game. For more info
on it, check the "Mini-Games" section. At the desert, talk to the mouse
for a clue to get to Monstro Town. Go to one of the two areas, and fight
the Shogun in the whirlpool. Then enter the whirlpool. Keep doing this
until you get to underground. Once there, you can find 2 stars here, so
use the trick to build your levels to 18+. One you can find in a box
while the other one you must pay 400 coins. When you are done, go
through the hole in the wall in room with the Geckits to get to Belome's
Temple. At the fortune game, pay 50 and hit them in any order. If you
want 100 coins, hit RIGHT, CENTER, LEFT. At the next fortune thing, make
sure it reads that Belome is hungry and go down the elevator. Then you
have a rematch with Belome! Have Mallow and Toadstool in your party
before the fight.

*********************************************************************
  BOSS: Belome                                   HP: 1200

This time around, Belome can clone your characters! So if you put Mallow
and Toadstool in, the clones are much easier to defeat than the others.
Your regular attacks can cause 100+ damage, so just use them. Once you
get rid of Belome, finish off the clones.

  EXP: 34               Coins: 20                Items: None
*********************************************************************

Hit the "!" Switch and enter Monstro Town.

------------
Monstro Town
------------
When you enter here, go through the first door and talk to Monstermama.
Go upstairs and talk to the star, it plays a tune, which you can use
later. Talk to Monstermama again and she calls the Sky Troopas to help
you scale the cliff at Land's End. There is a key above on a high ledge
here. To get it, keep talking to the Thwomp until it's on the ground.
Now go back to the temple and go to the second fortune thing. Make sure
it says that Belome isn't accepting visitors and go down the elevator.
Give the key to the "Gold Belome" and you can get the following from
this vault : 4 Flowers, 8 Frog Coins, Fire Bomb, Royal Syrup and a Max
Mushroom. Visit Goomba's Shop before you go to upgrade Bowser's
equipment. Now go to the cliff, it's near the entrance to the
underground area. Scale the cliff to reach Bean Valley. If you want more
info on scaling the cliff, check the "Mini-Games" section. Before you go
to Bean Valley, visit Tadpole Pond and play this tune at Melody Bay:

                 --------------------------------------
                                                 0
                 ---------------0-----------0----------
                            0           0

                 -------------------0------------------

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

Then you get the Soprano Card. While you are there, give the Cricket Jam
to Frogfucius for 10 Frog Coins!

-----------
Bean Valley
-----------
Nothing much to do here. When you reach the area with the Smilaxes,
defeat the upper one and go down the pipe. Go in the corner near the
Chomp Chomp and defeat it. Then jump in the corner there. You should
activate a hidden passage, which leads to Grate Guy's Casino! When you
are ready, put Mallow and Toadstool in your party and go to the next
area. In that area is another plant, but this one is a boss!

*********************************************************************
  BOSS: Megasmilax / Smilax                     HP: 1000 / 200

When the battle starts, defeat the Smilax. Then Shy Away comes and
waters the plant, now there are 2 Smilaxes. Beat them and he comes in
and waters them again. Now beat three of them. Now when he waters them,
a Megasmilax appears with 2 Smilaxes. They are weak to snow, so use
Mallow's Snowy special. With the smaller plants gone, use regular
attacks on Megasmilax. When he uses Petal Blast, have Toadstool cure the
Mushroom status with Therapy or Group Hug.

  EXP: 40               Coins: 0                Items: None
*********************************************************************

Once you win the battle, a piece of paper with a Seed on it floats down.
You can get later, but for now go down the pipe. Then hit the block and
climb the magical beanstalk. Now you have to climb vines. In the section
with a Flower in a treasure box, climb the orange vine at the top. Climb
the vines in the next area, and you can get a Frog Coin, Rare Scarf and
two Flowers. Now go back to the area with the Flower and climb the green
vine. Climb the vines there and jump on the Trampoline to reach Nimbus
Land. When you get there, Valentina has found the lost prince Mallow. A
prince with the same as a character in your party...sounds weird... Go
to the shops and buy the usual. Now pay a visit to Garro the Sculptor.
He has a statue that looks exactly like Mallow! And it turns out Mallow
is the real prince! Talk to Garro and he makes Mario look like a statue.
So now you can enter the castle and discover the truth. Dodo then puts
Mario on a pedestal. Go through the door and open the next one. Dodo now
has to polish the statues, but instead he pecks them. When he tries to
peck you, jump. If you don't get pecked, you get a Feather in the next
room! In the room after that, some Birdos peck at Mario. Now go through
the castle until you reach a room with three doors. Enter the left and
keep going until you get the room with some people. One person gives you
a Castle Key and another one gives you a Flower Jar. Now go back to the
three doors and beat the Heavy Troopa guarding the middle one. Unlock
the door and a egg is in the next room. Talk to the egg and agree to
"play" with it. Another boss!

*********************************************************************
  BOSS: Birdo                                     HP: 777

Keep attacking Shelly until Birdo pops out. Just attack Birdo with
regular attacks and you shouldn't have any problems. When she fires eggs
at you, have Toadstool heal. When you deplete enough HP from Birdo, her
eggs cause more damage!

  EXP: 20                Coins: 30                Items: None
*********************************************************************

Once you win, she gives you another Castle Key. Unlock the door and
continue. Go into the next room and defeat the Heavy Troopa. Then enter
the next one. Now chase Dodo and Valentina and Mario lands near the hot
springs. Make your way back to town. Here's another boss...

*********************************************************************
  BOSS: Dodo / Valentina                          HP: 1000 / 2000

When the battle starts, Dodo picks up the middle character and that
person must fight him. His Multistrike can really do some damage to
character, so try to defend often. Once he takes enough damage, the
scene shifts back to other characters fighting Valentina. After a while,
Dodo comes back. Now, just concentrate your attacks on one of them. Once
that person's HP is gone, the battle is over. They aren't very
difficult, just keep Toadstool healing everyone.

  EXP: 54               Coins: 200                Items: None
*********************************************************************

Mallow gets hit by the key and now he can see his parents. His parents
say that a large star fell into the volcano, but the Czar Dragon lives
there! Before you go, visit the room you couldn't open before and the
guard there gives you a Flower Jar. You can also get the Lazy Shell
Armor and Weapon if you want. To know how to get it, check the "Secrets"
section. Here another thing to do, check the house to the far right to
find Croco. He drops a Signal Ring, so pick it up. Equip this, and it
rings when you are in the area of a hidden treasure box! Go to the hot
springs and when you fall off, Mario lands in the volcano.

--------------
Barrel Volcano
--------------
This area has a good bit of Flowers, so make sure you get them. Most of
the enemies here are weak to snow, so bring Mallow along. When you meet
Hinopio, go and buy some armor and items. Build you levels to about 23.
Then continue through the next few rooms to find the Czar Dragon.

*********************************************************************
  BOSS: Czar Dragon / Zombone                   HP: 1400 / 1800

He's weak to snow, so use Snowy when you can. Have Mario use regular
attacks and Toadstool heal. When summons four Heilos, have at least two
characters each defeat one. You can usually get a "Attack Up!" Flower
from them. Once you defeat the Czar Dragon, he changes into Zombone. If
you have any Pure Water, use it now. Just have your characters use
normal attacks and you shouldn't have any problems.

  EXP: 50               Coins: 0                Items: None
*********************************************************************

Once you win, head into the next room for the star. But then the Axem
Rangers take it from you. Chase them and at the end, you fight them.

*********************************************************************
  BOSS: Axem Red / Axem Black / Axem Yellow     HP: 800 / 550 / 600
        Axem Pink / Axem Green / Axem Rangers       400 / 450 / 999

Looks like someone finally made fun of the Power Rangers! ;) First
attack Axem Pink because she heals the others. Then fight the others in
this order : Green, Yellow, Black, Red. Most of their normal attacks can
cause 30+, so make sure you heal a lot. Once you defeat them, they use
the Blade's cannon. It fires the Breaker Beam which causes 100+ to each
character! Use normal attacks and heal each round.

  EXP: 17               Coins: 0               Items: None
*********************************************************************

After beating them, you get the sixth Star Piece. Go back to Nimbus Land
and talk to King and Queen Nimbus. You can now use the Royal Bus to
reach Bowser's Keep. Now go the section near Garro's house and get on
the bus.

-------------
Bowser's Keep
-------------
If you bring Bowser here, most of the enemies run away from battle or
they become confused! You may want to fight some Gu Goombas for a Max
Mushroom if you want some. When you meet up with Croco, buy supplies and
save your game. In the next room, there are six doors. You must complete
4 of them to move on and you can choose Action, Battle, or Puzzle. I
would choose Action and Battle because you can get some goodies along
the way and some weapons at the end. After completing the door puzzle,
you run into Magikoopa in the next room. He isn't that hard. After
winning, he helps by creating a box with unlimited coins and healing you
of all damage. Enter the door on the left to find Croco. He sells the
best armor for your characters, but each one costs 100 coins! Now enter
the other door and go past the next room to a chandelier fight with
Boomer. Before you fight, bring Geno and Toadstool along.

*********************************************************************
  BOSS: Boomer                                  HP: 2000

Just do the usual, Mario and Geno attack and Toadstool heals. He changes
color to replenish his HP, but he lowers his defense. Keep attacking him
and you shouldn't have any problems.

  EXP: 19               Coins: 9                Items: None
*********************************************************************

Then the Chandeli-Ho takes you up to the sword...

*********************************************************************
  BOSS : Exor / Right Eye / Left Eye             HP: 1800 / 500 / 300
         Neosquid                                    800

Your target is Exor, but to do any damage you must get rid of his
protection. So attack the Eyes and Neosquid until they are "knocked"
out. Now attack Exor. After a while, they return to normal, so keep
attacking them. You don't need to knock out everything, but you can
cause more damage to Exor if you do. Have Geno use Geno Boost to make
the fight easier. Toadstool's healing is very helpful for this battle.
Once Exor's eyes start to flash, the team gets sucked into Gate.

  EXP: 34               Coins: 0                 Items: None
*********************************************************************

----
Gate
----
This the last area of the game. You can find an Ultra Hammer for Mario,
but it lowers his attack by 10 if have the Lazy Shell equipped. Make
your way through the area until you reach a boss called Countdown. You
can build your levels to about 25+ if you want, then fight him.

*********************************************************************
  BOSS: Countdown / Ding-A-Ling                    HP: 2400 / 1200

Focus your attacks on Countdown so you won't have to put up with his
magic. Do the usual, have the two characters attack and Toadstool heals.
The attack you need to worry about is the Fear Roulette from Ding-A-
Ling, which can instantly kill an ally! Once the clock is done, go after
the Ding-A-Lings.

  EXP: 20               Coins: 0               Items: None
*********************************************************************

As you continue through the factory, you can find the "Machine-Made"
versions of some bosses. They sometimes drop a good item after beating
them in battle and they are a great way to earn EXP! Once you reach the
room with the machine-made Yaridovich, fight him. After you win, the
block he was on disappears. When you jump down the hole you face another
boss.

*********************************************************************
  BOSS: Cloaker / Domino                        HP: 1200 / 900

Each of them is strong in an area. Cloaker is strong with regular
attacks while Domino is strong in magic. For now, keep attacking Domino
and then Cloaker runs to Earth Link. Focus your attacks on the snake
instead of Cloaker. Do the same thing for the past bosses. Both of their
attacks can cause 50+ to someone, so watch what you do. You should
really worry about the snake's Carni-Kiss, which causes 150+ to an ally!
Once you defeat Earth Link, Cloaker goes down with him.

  EXP: 40               Coins: 0                Items: None
*********************************************************************

Now you can head into the Factory. Now is a good time to build your
levels to 30 because the Yaridoviches give you 60 EXP and 50 Coins. I'll
let you do the rest of the game because it's just a series of bosses. In
the Factory, you'll fight the Clerk, Manager, Director, Factory Director
and Gunyolk. Then to the final battle with Smithy. Use everything you
know against the bosses and good luck!

===========================
4) ENEMY / PSYCHOPATH LIST

==========================
8) SECRETS / WEIRD SIGHTS
==========================
This section contains secrets and other things about the game.

Build Levels Easily
I mentioned this trick in the beginning of the walkthrough. First, go to
an area with a star in a treasure box. Make sure you save somewhere
close to the area. Now, get the star and hit as many enemies as you can.
Then, die in battle and you return to where you saved with all your EXP!
You can repeat the trick until you get your levels to where you want
them.

Dizzy Mario
At Mushroom Kingdom, you can find a girl running in a circle. If you can
manage to jump on her head, Mario will jump off and faint after a while.
Not much, but it's sorta funny.

Forest Booty
Remember those directions, Left, Left, Straight, Right from the guy in
Rose Town? If you are lost on what he is saying, listen up. At the
"maze" area of Forest Maze, follow those direction from Mario's
perspective, no from where you are. If you do so, you can find a tree
trunk in the room. Go down to find the following in Treasure Boxes : 1
Flower, 1 Mushroom, 1 Frog Coin, and two other boxes containing Coins.

Rare Item Shop
After you save Dyna & Mite, the man from the mine opens an item shop. At
different points in the game, he finds new items. He can sell you a
Lucky Jewel, Mystery Egg, and Frying Pan. The Frying Pan may sound
useless, but it's actually Toadstool's best weapon, Metal Plate.

Star Wishes
On Star Hill, you can find some stars with a face on them. If you talk
to them, you read someone's wish. Most of them come from characters in
the game like Mallow, Croco, and Belome. There is also one with Mario's
brother, Luigi!

Pipe Peeping
Once you beat Jonathan Jones, return to the Sunken Ship. Look into the
pipe in the room with Jonathan Jones in it. Now you can look into other
areas of the ship.

Lazy Shell Weapon and Armor
The gardener in Rose Town is looking for the legendary "Seed" and
"Fertilizer". You can get the Fertilizer once you beat Valentina. Go to
the far right of the town, and you can walk off the ground. Talk to the
Shy Away and he gives you the item. You can get the Seed once you beat
Megasmilax. Read the piece of paper that floated down and take the Seed.
Now go to Rose Town, and go past the Item Shop to the gardener's house.
Give him the items and he grows a beanstalk. Climb up to get the Lazy
Shell weapon for Mario and the Lazy Shell armor for anybody!

Link Catching Some Z's
Sleep at the Inn at Rose Town. When Mario wakes up, Link is there
sleeping! He doesn't talk to you, but if you try, the game plays a
familiar Zelda sound.

The Three Musty Fears
When you rest in the bed at Monstro Town, they play a game with you
called "Find the Flag". Each of them hides a flag somewhere. And here
are the locations.
#1 : Find it under Mario's bed at Mario's Pad.
#2 : This one is behind the wooden flower at Rose Town.
#3 : Find it between the O and A in the word GOAL at Yo'ster Isle.
Rest again at the bed and the Three Musty Fears give you a Ghost Medal.

Raz and Raini's Yoshi Honeymoon
When you first reach Yo'ster Isle, look in the mailbox to find a
honeymoon reservation at the island. Return there later to find Raz and
Raini on their honeymoon!

The Bright Card
To get into Grate Guy's Casino, you need a Bright Card. To get it,
return to Booster Tower to find Knife Guy inside. Talk to him to play a
game. You guess which hand the yellow ball is. Win this game about 16
times, each loss decreases your win by 1, to get the Bright Card. Don't
sell it because you can NEVER get another one!

Wiggler's Treasure
In Forest Maze, if you can jump on a Wiggler 10 times (Not in battle,
though), you get one Frog Coin. You can keep on doing this for more
Coins and Frog Coins.

Fireworks Finale
When you get the ending, the mole from Moleville shoots some fireworks.
The more you bought from, a different shape appears. Here is what you
can get.
0 : Mushroom
1 : Mushroom
2 : Mushroom
3 : Flower
4 : Flower
5 : Star

Booster's Bride Search
When you go to Booster Tower after beating Valentina, you can find her
at the balcony with Booster! Will history repeat itself?

Culex, The Dark Knight Of Vanda
Remember that sealed door in Monstro Town? Well, this when you can open
it. To open it, you must get a Shiny Stone. Go to Moleville and purchase
a Fireworks. Now trade the Fireworks at the little mole's Pur-Tend Store
for the Shiny Stone. Use the stone to open the door. Before you go in,
make sure your levels are 25+ and bring plenty of Max Mushrooms, Royal
Syrup, Pick Me Ups, a Crystalline, a Power Blast, Rock Candy, Kerokero
Colas and a Star Egg if you got it. Also, put Toadstool in your party
equipped with the Lazy Shell Armor and a Safety Ring to protect her from
most magic attacks. Then enter the door and fight Culex...

*********************************************************************
  BOSS : Culex / Fire Crystal / Earth Crystal    HP: 4096 / 2500 /
Water Crystal / Wind Crystal               3200 / 1800 / 800

Final Fantasy fans should recognize the battle music here! Anyway, as
you can see from HP levels, these guys are very hard. Use the
Crystalline and Power Blast to make the battle somewhat easier. If you
have the Star Egg, keep using that and heal when needed. With that item,
you can cause 100+ damage to ALL of them! If you don't have the Star
Egg, use Rock Candy or any bombs you might have. You have some choices
to complete this battle: You can use all of your attacks on Culex and
the Crystals disappear when you beat him, but you have to put up the
attacks from the Crystals. Or you can get rid of the Crystals and then
attack Culex, but this way you may use a lot of time and items. Some of
the attacks can inflict 100+ to all characters, so be very careful! Each
of the Crystals have their own "element" to them. For example, the Fire
Crystal attacks with fire.

  EXP: 600               Coins: 0             Items: Quartz Charm
*********************************************************************

When you win, he gives you a Quartz Charm. Exit the door and it vanishes
forever!

Dream Cushion Gift
When you rest at Nimbus Land a few times, use the Dream Cushion.
Sometime or later, Mario dreams that Toad turned into a monster! When he
wakes up, he sees Toad and gets scared. Toad gives him a Red Essence to
make him feel better.

8-Bit Mario
Remember what Mario looked like in Mario Bros. for the NES? Now you can
be him! Go to Booster Tower and go to the room with the curtains in
front of a corner. Go behind the curtains and when you come out, he
becomes the 8-Bit Mario! The game also plays some slightly changed music
from Mario Bros. But when you leave the room, he goes back to normal and
you can't do this again...

Jumping Contest
Talk to the Chow at Monstro Town and he says he will give you a prize
for jumping 30 times using the Super Jump. The key to getting those
jumps is the timing. When you jump a certain number of times, the timing
changes. If you jump 30 times, he gives you an Attack Scarf. Jump 100
times and he gives you a Super Jacket.

Look The Other Way Prize
At Grate Guy's Casino, keep talking to Grate Guy to play this game. Play
it 100 times, just playing, NOT winning, to get the best item in the
game, the Star Egg! It causes damage to all enemies and it can never be
used up!

Jinx and Jagger
At Monstro Town, go through the door that has a "J" sign beside it.
Inside is an old friend of Bowser's, Jagger. Fight him and Jinx appears.
If you can beat him in the three rounds, he gives you a Jinx Belt. Make
sure your character's levels are at least 25. Equip Toadstool with the
Lazy Shell and the Safety Ring to protect her. After each round, Jinx is
stronger and he has more attacks. A couple of his attacks can cause
Instant Death, so use a Pick Me Up or Come Back.

Baby Yoshi
Return to Yo'ster Island later in the game to find one of the eggs
hatched. Talk to the Yoshi nearby if you don't have any Cookies and he
gives you three of them. Find them to the baby and keep repeating. The
baby gives you an item such as Yoshi-Ade for feeding him!

Unlimited Coins
Once you beat Magikoopa, he creates a Gold Treasure Box. Now you can
keep hitting it to get 999 coins and it never runs out!

Suite Sweets
Resting at the Suite at the Marrymore Hotel can get you some valuable
items. But each stay costs 200 coins. Here is what you can get.
1 Stay  - Flower Tab
3 Stays - Flower Jar
5 Stays - 1 Frog Coin

Marriage Mania
When you collect the wedding gear for Toadstool at Marrymore, the reward
changes. If you collect them and talk to Booster when two pairs of
candles are lighted, Toadstool kisses Mario. If get them with more
candles lighted, Booster and Bowser kiss Mario.

Damage Deduction
Did you know you can decrease damage by 3/4? First, have the character
defend. Then when he/she is attacked, do the timed defend (Hit B before
hit). The damage is decreased by 3/4 instead of 1/2! This doesn't work
all of the time, though.

The Ultimate Team
If you are not sure what team to use on the last few bosses of the game,
here is a pretty good party:

Mario
Weapon    - Lazy Shell
Armor     - Hero Shirt
Accessory - Safety Badge

Toadstool
Weapon    - Frying Pan
Armor     - Lazy Shell
Accessory - Safety Ring

Bowser
Weapon    - Drill Claw
Armor     - Heal Shell
Accessory - Jinx Belt

If you want, Geno is another great pick instead of Bowser!

Treasure Box Hunt
In Monstro Town, a Pandorite tells you about hidden treasure boxes. To
find one, you have to jump in a certain area. If you want to get them,
equipping the Signal Ring can really help. The downside to this is that
the Pandorite doesn't give you anything for finding them. :(

The Mystery Of The B'Tub Ring
Ever wondered what that accessory was for? Here is what is does...
First, get the ring and the Mystery Egg from the Rare Item Shop. Now,
equip Toadstool with the ring. Go into battle and have the princess use
the egg 10 times. Then it changes into Lamb's Lure. In the next battle,
have anyone use the item about 48 times. Now it changes into Sheep
Attack. When you use this weird item in battle, it can change most
enemies into sheep and they run away. It can never be used up, but if
all enemies change, you get no EXP and Coins.

Unlimited Yoshi Cookies
Later in the game at Yo'ster Isle when the baby appears, you can get all
the cookies you want! Talk to the Yoshi near the baby for three cookies.
When you run out, talk to him and you get three more. Now you can you
get some free items!

The Yoshi Cookie List
Probably the most overlooked item is the Yoshi Cookie. This is a great
secret! With some of these cookies, you can transform enemies into great
items...for free! This list doesn't have every enemy, but it has a good
bit of them.

NOTE: When you use a Yoshi Cookie and Yoshi fails to transform, he
drops a Yoshi Candy. On some enemies you may need to use it a few times
to transform the enemy.

9) MINI-GAMES
==============
This section contains info on the mini-games.

Midas Waterfall/Barrel Jumping
Where Found - Midas River

Your objective is to collect as many coins as you can on the waterfall
and the barrel jumping event. The coins you grab are used to get Frog
Coins. The more you get, the lower the price becomes. If you can get 100
coins, the price becomes 50 and you get 5 FC as a bonus. The downside
is...the coins you get, you don't get to keep! BUT you can keep the
coins by doing this: Go to Moleville and buy Fireworks. Trade Fireworks
for a Shiny Stone, then talk to one little mole in the house to trade
for a Carbo Cookie. Give the cookie to the mole on the bucket. Go down
the bucket and into Midas River!

Goomba Thumping
Where Found - Pipe Vault

For 10 Coins, you must jump on as many Goombas as possible. Here is how
the scoring works:

Goomba - 1 Point
Gold Goomba - 3 Points
Spikey - Lose 1 Point

The strategy I would is, stand in the middle and jump on the Goombas
that appear on the pipes to the left and right of Mario. If you get a
certain number of points, the mole gives you a prize.

Mushroom Derby
Where Found - Yo'ster Isle

You can play this game whenever you want once you help Yoshi. When you
want to race, talk to Boshi and make sure you have some Yoshi Cookies.
You wager some cookies and you get some more if you win. At the race,
alternate A and B to the beat of the music playing. If you have any
cookies left over from wagering, press Y and Yoshi gets a short burst of
speed. The more you win, the harder the race becomes.

Trolley Ride
Where Found - Moleville

In this mini-game, you can earn some extra coins if you break your
record time. You can bet 10 to 30 coins, and you get more coins if you
win. On the ride, use the brakes to get past sharp turns so you won't go
off the track. You can find Mushrooms on the tracks which are used as a
speed boost. To make this much easier, go very slow on the first time so
breaking the record won't be difficult.

Booster Hill Run/Beetle Run
Where Found - Booster Hill

On the 1st time, you can get lots of FP. Use the barrels and Snifits to
move ahead to touch the Princess, doing so gets you one Flower Point.
Make sure you do your best because this the only time when you can do
this! Once you get the Beetle Box from "Beetles Are Us" in Seaside Town,
you can revisit Booster Hill to earn some extra cash. Again, use the
barrels and Snifits to move ahead and collect the Beetles. Here is what
you can get:
Female Beetle - 1 Coin
Male Beetle   - 50 Coins
Gold Beetle   - 1 Frog Coin

Mushroom Boy's Shop
Where Found - Seaside Town

If you can bring some Mushrooms that grow in the Forest Maze, you can
collect some goodies. Go to the forest and collect as many as you can.
Give them to Mushroom Boy and you can get some of the following:
Regular Mushroom - Nothing
Berry Mushroom   - Maple Syrup
Rippin' Mushroom - Rock Candy
Flower Mushroom  - Flower Tab

Donut Bridge
Where Found - Land's End

You can also earn some more coins and Frog Coins here. You cross the
Donut Bridge while dodging the Bullet Bills. The higher the difficulty,
you face more challenges, but the bigger the payoff. If you select
"Special", you can earn a Frog Coin but it's much harder than the other
difficulties. For Normal and Expert, you can earn coins.

Troopa Shell Cliff Scaling
Where Found - Land's End

Here, you jump shell to shell to scale the cliff. This the easiest way
to earn Frog Coins and it's free! The first time you get under about
11.50, Sargent Flutter gives you a Troopa Pin, but each time afterwards
you get one FC. If you get under 11 seconds, you get 5 FC! You can get
tons of Frog Coins if you are willing to take the time to do so.

Grate Guy's Casino
Where Found - Entrance found in Bean Valley

Here you can play 3 different games!
Blackjack: You wager 1 FC for this game. The objective is to get closest
to 21 without going over. The dealer will give you and himself 2 cards.
You can get more cards, but try not to go over 21! If the dealer wins,
you lose the FC, you win...you get 2 FC.

Slot Machine: Not a hard game to learn. You use 10 coins, and if you get
3 of the same symbols, you win a FC. If you lose, you get nothing.

Look The Other Way: Keep talking to Grate Guy and he'll play this game
with you. Press <- or -> on the pad, and if you look the other way where
his finger is, you get an item. If you lose, you don't gain or lose
anything. Sometimes he gives you some good items, but you usually get
junk like Moldy Mush and Wilt Shrooms. Play this game 100 times to get
the best item in the game, the Star Egg!

Beetle Mania
Where Found - Boy from Mushroom Kingdom

You can purchase this Game Boy game from the kid at the Inn if you are
willing to spend a mere 500 coins. You can buy this once you defeat
Yaridovich. You control a little brown beetle that can shoot stars at
the incoming Troopa Shells. When you hit a shell with a star, the star
"explodes" and little stars fly to a certain distance. This usually hits
your beetle, and when you get hit, press A rapidly to revive him. If you
can grab a Heart, your beetle's "life" is restored. To get a high score,
try the following technique: Let a bunch of shells come on screen, then
fire some stars. The "explosions" will hit other shells and do the same
thing. You can wipe out mostly all the shells with a few stars! You can
usually earn 500+ points after doing this. You don't anything for
beating the high score, but it's a fun game to try.
