Unfortunately, Yahoo! is shutting down all free Geocities web sites
this summer. I have decided to close down all my Geocities web sites
early to beat the rush in saving all my files. Until Yahoo!
officially dumps the sites, I've posted a short message there, but
all content has been removed.
Thank you for all of your support of my web sites for over 10 years!
I will be considering a move to my own web site domain, but for now,
you can access my video game FAQ/walkthroughs on GameFAQs.com and
any other sites located in the Credits section.
Many thanks & happy gaming,

I FINALLY got through all 1600+ e-mails (about 1500 of them spam) from
my old e-mail account, which is now defunct. Unfortunately, there
were 3 e-mails about my walkthroughs sitting in my old inbox that
got lost. Two of them I posted and answered from memory, but
I didn't reply to them personally, so if you are one of those
three people, I sincerely apologize. The third guy, especially.
If you e-mailed me sometime in the last week and never heard back
from me, chances are I lost your e-mail, so send it my way again
and I'll get back to you this time, I PROMISE.

SHE'S BAAAAACK!
If you've been wondering where in Mario's overalls I've been in the last
week, well here's a breakdown:
1) I started teacher's college, 100x more demanding and so updates are
now going to be posted less often. *Wipe away a tear*. Hence, I've
posted a disclaimer under Contact Info.
2) My Desktop had a nearly fatal hard drive crash last week and luckily
I managed to save all my highly important data on CDs before the comp
blew up. Just kidding...it died a noble death.
3) I bought a laptop (finally) and in between transferring my files,
setting up a new e-mail address, and constantly calling Rogers and
my local computer shop for solving all kinds of tech issues, I've
neglected to update.
4) As for e-mails sent in the last week, they have not yet been read
or replied to. Despite a near fatal hard drive crash, my old ISP should
be able to restore all messages that were in my Inbox or sent in the last
week, *WHEW*. If you fall in this category, please be patient as I catch
up with my e-mail.
Thanks for your patience and understanding. I'll get back on things
very soon, I promise :o)

[M6.1]
*The Blue Star*
Toadstool is kidnapped by Bowser (what else is new?) Mario immediately heads
for Bowser's Keep. Go straight through the doors. If you bump into any
Terrapins, use the A button attack constantly. No prize, no loss. Keep
heading up (on the way, the bridge behind you collapses). Finally you reach
a fancy room with a chandelier. An early fight with Bowser. This battle is
short & sweet. Keep attacking the Kinklink with A or Y button attacks until
the chandelier falls. Piece of cake. Fungah, foiled again! Bowser,
Toadstool, and Mario end up flying in all directions as a big sword lands on
the castle. The Seven Stars also fly out over the Kingdom. The perfect
title sequence. Miraculously, Mario flies directly into his house. Press B
to get down, then exit and speak to Toad. Save at left by jumping on the "S"
box, then exit to Bowser's Keep. No way, Jose! The bridge to the castle is
destroyed and Mario can only watch it from a distance. Phoeey. Go back to
Toad who is now indoors. He will run off. Go back and try to exit. Toad
bumps into you. If this is your first time playing this game or you need a
refresher, get instructions from him. You get a few Mushrooms. Save again,
then exit to Mushroom Way. Fight the Goombas and Sky Troopas in this first
area. Collect the coins from the two Treasure Boxes. Near the end, fight
the Goomba that trapped Toad to receive a Honey Syrup. Continue forward to
the next section. Beat the Goomba on the spinning flower, then use it to
jump left. Hit the Box for a Flower. Use the spinning flower again to jump
right. Save Toad from the Sky Troopa to get a Flower Tab. Apply it now on
the Items screen. Get the Recovery Mushroom from the Box near the exit, then
continue. Fight the Lakitus here until you reach Level 3 (unless you have
already). Go right to the Hammer Bro. and Toad. Walk into him to
start a fight. Hey, where did the other guy come from? Use Y Button attacks
to finish them off. When you run out of FP, use that Honey Syrup, or A
Button punches. You get 6 Ex. Pts., 20 Coins, a Flower Jar, and a Hammer!
Apply the Flower Jar under Items, and equip the Hammer under, um, Equip. Now
head to Mushroom Kingdom. Once there, save at the Inn (marked with a star).
This is especially important for the next step. Enter the castle and Toad
will dash ahead of you after a pep talk. Jump on his head and just before he
goes through the door, jump above the door and get a Frog Coin from the
Surprise Box. If you screw up, you can Reset your game (or hold L, R, Start
and Select) and try again. Once you have all that, go forward to the
Chancellor and he will ask you to save the Princess, giving you a Map (after
tripping you up, hee hee). Exit the room and go right to the Vault Guard.
Hit all three boxes for 10 Coins, a Flower, and a Recovery Mushroom. Up
through the door, go left 2x, then up a flight to Toadstool's Room. Press A
at the
corner chair to get Toadstool's ???. Her Grandma will swap it for a
Mushroom. Whatever it was... Once outside the castle, a marshmallow creature
will be chasing a crocodile. O-kay. He soon cries, making it rain. Oh,
bother. Talk to him to stop the showers and he will ask for your help. Say
yes and Mallow joins your party. He's a good partner for now who can heal HP
easily, but will prove pretty weak in A button attacks. Go to the Item Shop
(marked with a mushroom) and the shopkeeper will give you a Pick Me Up.
While here, buy and equip the Shirt, Pants, Jump Shoes, and Antidote Pin. If
you can't afford it all, stop by later. You can also buy items. I recommend
Mushrooms, Honey Syrups, and Pick Me Ups. Take the stairs down and talk to
the man. Jump when he says so to get a Flower. If you stand on his head and
jump in the corner opposite the stairs, you'll get a second Flower. Outside,
find a Toad jumping up and down, and talk to him. Croco will zip right by.
No bazooka? Dang. Save in the Inn again, then head to Bandit's Way.
Throughout this area, you'll follow Croco around until fight time. Fight the
enemies surrounding the area, then head into the next section. Use the
spinning flower and jump off to the ledge. Jump across the yellow platforms,
collecting Coins, then down to another spinning flower. Jump towards to the
blue flower and get a Kerokero Cola from the Surprise Box. In the next
section, use the yellow platforms to hit the Treasure Box for an
Invincibility Star. Run around and whack each K-9 to rack up Ex. Pts. and
possibly level up (likely once or more). Hit the other box for a Flower.
In the next section, hit the box for a Recovery Mushroom, then chase Croco
around until you corner him. After cornering him 3 times, you start a fight.
Use Mario's Fire Orb to make Croco skip a turn to
"douse a tail fire". You can use that attack continuously. For Mallow, use
HP Rain, Mushrooms, and Honey Syrups because his A button attack is weak.
His Thunderbolt can be used if you have the all-clear. After a while, Mallow
will (literally) knock his Frog Coin out of Croco. You get 8 Ex. Pts., 10
Coins, a Flower Tab, and a Wallet that he leaves behind. Apply the Flower
Tab, then take the trampoline that falls, then the top left exit back to
Mushroom Kingdom. Oh my!
Shysters have taken over the kingdom. You don't have to stop and defeat all
of them unless you want some small rewards. If you defeat the Shyster
hitting on the Toad at the entrance, he'll give you 10 Coins. Defeat the
Shyster chasing the Toad in the bottom right area and he'll ask for his
wallet back. Trade it for a Flower Tab, and apply it now. Look for the two
storey house below the castle and defeat the Shysters jumping around
inside. Head
upstairs and save the boy for a Flower Tab. Apply it, then visit the Item
Shop to stock up, and save at the Inn. Inside the castle, go up until you
find a Shyster chasing a Toad. Defeat it, then go left & clear the
staircase by
defeating another Shyster, then two more by the next door. Say "You Bet"
to the Toad to get another Flower
Tab, and apply it. Talk to Grandma to get healed, then save. In the
Guest Room (head right to find it), talk to the Vault Guard to get the
Wake-Up Pin. Apply it if you wish, then head into the vault to get 10 Coins,
a Mushroom, and a Flower (again). Make your way to the Chancellor's Room to
start a fight with your first real boss...Use Mario's Hammer and Mallow's
Thunderbolt to stun Mack and clear the Bodyguards quickly (though they can
re-appear). Continue this pattern, having Mallow heal when necessary to win.
You get the Blue Star for your troubles.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
[M6.2]
*The Green Star*
Talk to the Chancellor to restore the castle to normal. Head to the Item
Shop and Mallow will get a Cricket Pie for his Frog Coin.
Now don't get greedy and eat it...fat boy. Stock up on items if needed, then
save in the inn. Head out to the Kero Sewers next. Take the pipe down and
save once inside. Take the water right, then up to the surface. Take the
next pipe, then the one down to the right. Fight the Big Boo if necessary,
then take the pipe by it. Drop to the right and up the stairs to a Treasure
Box. Prepare to fight Pandorite once you hit it. He's tough, but no match
for Mario's Super Jump. Apply the Flower Jar and Trueform Pin you get in
reward. If you reset the treasure box (exit and re-enter the room), hit it
for lots of coins. Take the steps back up slightly, then jump up to the
level at the first step. Watch out for Rat Funks as you navigate up the
levels. Get a Flower from the Treasure Box, then down the pipe at the end.
The Treasure Box here holds an Invincibility Star (man, I wished these lasted
longer...). Use it to knock out as many enemies as you can to gain Exp.
levels. Go left and take the pipe, then go left & take the next pipe.
Jump up to the
solo Rat then over him to the pipe (take it). Take the left stairs and hit
the green button. Drop down and through the pipe from before, then down to
the pipe that was underwater before (I guess you know what the button did...
no?). Hit the box for a Recovery Mushroom, then save. Take the next pipe
down, then approach Belome. I would suggest having Mario use Jump (whatever
level you have) & Hammer, and Mallow's Thunderbolt, as well as healing if
you need it.
You'll lose Mallow to lunch (yikes!) for a while, but he soon returns. Have
Mario wear the Trueform Pin to avoid S'crow Funk. After Belome is finished
off, you and Mallow flow down the Midas River. This is by far one of the
major highlights of the game, so enjoy it while it lasts (though you can
return and play it again; also see Minigames section for more details). The
waterfall will push you down, but press the arrow buttons to navigate, and A
to push yourself up a bit. Collect coins and Frog Coins, and try to aim
yourself into the holes to navigate caves with extra Flowers and coins. Next
is Barrel Jumping. Jump for coins and switch sides by bumping into logs.
Avoid fish that pop up and steal coins. For best results, follow the pattern
BJJBBJJBBJJBBJJ (Bump/Jump). At the end, coins won are collected and
exchanged for Frog Coins. You also get the NokNok shell, which you should
equip on Mario now. Save & exit via the road to Tadpole Pond where you'll
meet Frogfucius.
After some chit-chat (and Mallow's surprise identity!), talk to the old
cricket again to exchange Cricket Pie for a Froggie Stick (equip on Mallow
pronto). Visit Melody Bay if you want to get access to the Frog Coin
Emporium and Juice Bar (see Shops page for details). Take the path to Rose
Way. Put the Wake Up Pin on Mario to avoid the Shyguys' attacks. I guess
Mallow could use the Trueform Pin. Take the first block, then to the next to
get a Recovery Mushroom. Go back on the block, then transfer to the next
platform. Stay on it till you get a Flower, then take it back. Hop onto the
next block and onto the next screen. Defeat the Shyguys on the blocks, then
jump to them to time their movements so they come close together. You want
to jump from one to the other and collect the Frog Coin from the Treasure Box
on the opposite block. Try your best...it's tricky. Exit back and take the
block until it drops you off at the next exit. Beat up the Crooks if you
want coins, then move to the next screen. Take the yellow block and jump on
it to go left, then to the next block. Collect the coins, then jump back to
the first block and ride it down to the next platform. Get the single coin,
then take the block to the next section. Keep going forward to see
Bowser's army, then head forward to Rose Town. Once there, head
into the Inn and watch the interaction Mario has with Gaz. When you recover,
you'll see that a figure named Geno dressed in blue has left. Well...better
than a live Chucky doll. Save and head to the Item Shop, but stay outside.
Climb up the crates and drop down the chimney to a higher level inside. Jump
to the invisible Treasure Box for a Flower. Talk to the clerks to restock on
items. Be sure to buy and equip the Thick armour and any pins you don't
have. Equip the Fearless Pin on Mallow and keep the Wake Up on Mario. In
the northwest corner of town, talk to the man there who will boost you up to
his house if you stand on his head. Inside, hit the two boxes for Flowers,
then (upstairs) press the switch.
Also, hop on the bed for a hidden Frog Coin. Outside, the guy will re-enter
his house. If you want to lie or fess up, pick either choice. If you head
back inside, he will confront you, but then forgive Mario and offer
directions for the Forest Maze. Exit the town to the Maze. Jump in the
bottom left corner for a hidden Kerokero Cola. You can also collect lots of
Mushrooms growing around, but beware that some are enemy lures. In the next
section is a wooden pipe and a Wiggler. If you jump on his head continually
10x in a row, you get a Frog Coin. Try it if you're game, then head down the
pipe. In the cave, take the trampoline at the end. At left outside, jump
for a hidden Frog Coin, then head to the next screen. Now there are 7 stumps
and Wigglers. Take the bottom right pipe and jump while standing in the big
light spot at bottom for a Flower. Exit and try the middle left stump. Jump
in the light above the trampoline for an empty Treasure Box.
Hmmph...cheapstake. Exit and take the last stump. Make your way behind the
sleeping Wiggler (but don't touch him!) and jump for a hidden Kerokero Cola.
Wake the Wiggler (he he he...that sounds so cute) and you'll fly out of the
cave, opening a new path. Take it to the next section, then another to a
trampoline. Take it up and away. Jump in the top right corner for a hidden
Red Essence (a great item) and save. Now you'll explore the real maze. The
directions you got from the guy in Rose Town need to be slightly adjusted for
Mario's POV. Go left, left, straight (down), right and take the stump pipe.
Hit the Treasure Boxes for Frog Coins, Flowers,
and/or Recovery Mushrooms, then exit back to the maze. Go right, up, up,
right, up, and left (or just follow the blue dude). Finally, follow Geno
(who will sort of jump with fright) and you'll encounter your second major
boss, Bowyer. What a stupid name, nyah. In this battle, Geno joins the
fight. Use his Geno Beam, Mario's A-button (NokNok Shell) and Mallow's A-
button (Froggie Stick) as well as healing and using items (since his is
weakest). Bowyer can deactivate one of the A, X, or Y buttons during the
fight, so be prepared to switch strategies throughout. Avoid using Mallow's
Thunderbolt (useless). When you win, you receive the Green Star.

*The Orange Star*
Geno officially joins your party now. Be sure to apply the Flower Box you
received in the battle, then head back to Rose Town. Go into the Inn and
Geno will be reunited with Gaz, who will eventually give him his Finger Shot.
Equip that weapon pronto (might as well apply the Trueform Pin to Geno as
well). Exit to the Pipe Vault. Take the pipe down, then jump over the lava
to the next screen, avoiding the Sparkies. Jump over the Goombas and time
your jumps well with the Thwomp enemy. Take the second pipe, then the next
one. Collect the coins and run/duck under the barrier for a Frog Coin. Take
the trampoline (boing) and go back down the second pipe again. Now jump at
the third block for a hidden platform, then take it up to a higher one. Jump
at
the fourth block for a hidden Frog Coin and jump four more ahead for a second
Frog Coin. The next (third) block has a Flower. Take the trampoline and
down the next pipe to the Goomba Thumpin' minigame (see Games for details).
This is a fun little game and a nice break from pipin' all day long. Anyhoo,
take the last pipe and jump across the pipe with the Piranha, then take
the pipe at the end. Jump across the red pipes, avoiding Piranhas. You may
lose coins for bumping into them. Take the end pipe and jump on the
platform, hitting the Treasure Box for a Flower. Take the next platform
above the little Piranhas. You can try hitting the box for coins, but the
risk may not be worth much...Down the next pipe and you're in Yo'ster Isle.
Jump behind the save box for a hidden Frog Coin, then save your game. Talk
to the green Yoshi and he will become your interpreter, whom you can ride
along with for now. Talk to the red Yoshi walking near the entrance and
answer positively for some Yoshi Cookies. Now you can participate in the
Mushroom Derby (for more info,
see Games section). Talk to Boshi (blue Yoshi with sunglasses) to race. If
you win, you get more Cookies and the Derby becomes activated for all the
others. Play for as long as you want, then exit to Moleville. Once here,
visit the Item Shop to stock up on items. Purchase and equip the Punch Glove
(for Mario), Cymbals (for Mallow) and Work Pants (for all 3). Save in the
Inn and check out Bowser's diminished army in the far east. At left, talk to
the lady mole near the entrance to the cave, then head inside. Tell the
worker moles that you will save the kids and jump on their heads to reach the
high ledge. Continue forward 2x and talk to the Treasure Hunter if you want.
Head down and forward until you reach a trampoline. Try to use it and Mario
will knock himself out...oops. Croco and his gang of Crooks will steal your
coins. Sic 'em! Chase Croco until he bombs a dead end wall, then forward a
few times to find a Crook hiding behind a crate. Fight him to get a Flower Tab
& apply it now. Head right a screen and fight the next Crook behind the
trampoline for a second Flower Tab (apply). Head forward again and a third
Crook is behind the crates (shaped like an L). Apply your third Flower Tab,
then run around (or wait patiently) to bump into Croco and begin your rematch
with him. Have Mario use Punch Glove and Super Jump; Mallow use healing and
items or Cymbals for off-turns; and Geno can use Finger Shot & Geno Beam. At
one point,
Croco will steal your X-button items, so beware and be prepared. Have Mallow
use HP Rain if needed. When you win, you get your items & coins back, plus a
Bambino Bomb! Just don't light a match...yet. Continue forward to
find Pa'Mole. Give him the Bomb to blow the wall, then continue through it.
Go along the lower level tracks until a Shy Guy pushes you out with a mine
cart. How rude...but he drops a Frog Coin for you (sweet justice). Climb up
to the higher level and head forward along it. Hit the Treasure Box for an
Invisibility Star. Sprint along and catch as many enemies as you can for
Exp. Pts. Head up again and left (hit the Treasure Box for lots of coins) to
the Bob-ombs tracking the...tracks (*blush*). Jump over them and hit the boxes
for a Recovery Mushroom and a Flower, then save. Head up and around to the big
guy throwing bombs.
Punchinello...another stupid name. Does he punch? NO! But the end is
funny...so stay tuned. Magic attacks are mostly useless, though Mallow's
Thunderbolt attacks all the Bob-ombs that Punchinello (*hack*) summons. Have
Mario and Geno use A-button attacks. Before you know it, a huge Bob-omb
lands on Punchie's head (he he...) and the coal mine blows. Collect the Orange
Star in a Technicolor moment. Head forward to find Dyna and Mite (now those
are cute names) trying to jump-start the mine cart. Read the note if you
want, then hop in to start 'er up. See the Games section for info.

*The Purple Star*
Midway through Moleville, a trio of Snifits will corner you as they attempt
to chase down a small beetle. They reveal that their master, Booster, is
holding the Princess captive. Aha! Stock up while in town and check out the
other stores if you want (see Shops page for details), then head out of town
and back to Tadpole Pond. There is a new song to learn from the mines, but
for some reason I can't find the source. If anyone knows, please send me an
e-mail. I do, however, know the notes. Head over to Toadofsky and play the
Moleville Blues to receive the Tenor Card. Exit to the map and head to the
newly opened Booster Pass. Find a Frog Coin behind the second plant to the
right. Head far left and use the plant to reach the hill. Jump to reveal a
Surprise Box with a Flower. Head right and upwards, jumping left of the exit
for a Rock Candy. In the next section, walk along the lower side to get the
big Flower in the back. Hug the left wall to deek into a corner, then jump
right to hit a switch that traps all the poor enemies in their holes. Head up
and exit to Booster Tower. After a short little cinema with Bowser and
Princess, try opening the door. It's locked. Turning away, Bowser returns
and knocks the door down. Bowser will join your party (or in his mind, you
join HIS party). Enter the tower and talk to the Snifit at the front desk to
engage in a fight. Beat him, then take the blocks on the left. You may want
to pay attention to the paintings, though I will explain their importance
later. In the next section, climb the blocks avoiding the Spookums. A Frog
Coin can be found on the black block one down from the top left in a Surprise
Box. In the next section, you are properly introduced to Booster. Follow
the train track to get a Flower Tab (apply that pronto), then head right to
the next screen. Climb up, avoiding the enemies by hugging the right wall
Take the first path to the next section and attempt a jump
approximately two squares right to land on a teeter-totter that will send a
cute little Bob-omb flying hitting a box to land you the Masher. You may
need to exit and re-try this several times, but you should eventually nab it.
It's a strong weapon for Mario. Apply it when you have it. Head all the
way back to where you came from originally, and go through the second door.
Hit the ! block switch that creates a
new path, then head to the next screen. Here's a nice recurring motif from
the Mario RPG series. Head into the curtain and you'll re-emerge as 8-bit
Mario from SMB. After that little piece of nostalgia, head to the next area
and avoid the Spookums. The last one who is shooting Bullet Bills at you can
be avoided by hugging the left wall or you can engage battle. It's funny...if
you pass him and then come back, he's looking out the window. Guess it's his
break time now. In the next room, avoid more enemies, head to the next room,
and save. Head right to Ancestor Hall. You are reunited with those
paintings. Press A at each painting in this order (listed by description):
the one wearing glasses and a hat; the blonde one; the one that looks like a
pirate; one that looks like Joe Camel; the one with a triangular head and
glasses; and lastly, the one with noticeable teeth. Sorry for the vague
descriptions, but it's easier than memorizing their numbers from the first
room. If you miss any, you get a little poke, no biggie. If they are
entered correctly, Booster spits out a key. Ew...Booster slime. Use the key
to open the big locked door here and enter. Jump towards the Chomp and Bowser
will tame it and you'll earn its respect. Equip it on Bowser now. Head back
one room and go
right to the next one. Get a Recovery Mushroom from the block and jump on the
teeter-totter (another one?) to fly up a level. Get the Frog Coin from the
Surprise Box in the bottom left corner, then head up the platforms avoiding
the enemies parading them. Jump in the hidden corner right of the stairs
for a Frog Coin, then climb up more and head through to the Mine Room.
This is a war zone...! Hop around to get coins, Frog Coins, and a key,
though
you may experience several fights with the blue Fireballs lurking under the
floor (creeeepy...). Use the key on the big locked door to get the Zoom
Shoes.
Head
back, then left to the next room. Climb up, fighting the Chomps, and enter
the next room. Booster reappears and throws little Bob-ombs at you. Here's
a funny little secret...hide behind the wall and move Mario up into the frame
to create a homemade Mario picture. He he he...Go forward two rooms and up the
steps on the right. On top of the Treasure Box (which itself contains a Frog
Coin) is a Surprise Box with a Goodie Bag worth lots of coins. Hop in the
bottom right corner for a Recovery Mushroom, then save. Head through the
next room and peek in the door to see the Princess. Hooray!...but the door's
locked. Now for a fun little mini-game called Hide'n' Seek Curtain (see my
Games section for help). Mastering the game avoids a fight with Booster and
his minions, however fighting them is no biggie. Use Mallow's Thunderbolt to
thump all three and A-button attacks to bring them down. If you "win" the
game, jump under the Mario doll to knock it down and Booster will reward you
with the Amulet. Head back, change Geno for Bowser and save, then go
forward to fight Crate Guy and
Knife Guy. Use Mario's best fire attack on Knife Guy & the Masher, and
Mallow's
Thunderbolt on both (while healing occasionally). Bowser's Chomp is an
effective attack, too. After the battle ends, you'll drop to Booster Hill.
Play a preview edition of Beetle Collecting (see Games for details) by
hopping on the Snifits to reach Princess and get Flowers. At the top of the
hill, you'll reach Marrymore. Apply the Flower Jar from your last battle,
then head into the hotel to stock up on items. Buy
the new armour (Happy Pants, Happy Shirt & Happy Shell) and new weapons (Hand
Gun for Geno and Whomp Glove for Mallow). Be sure to equip all new pieces.
Avoid buying the Super Hammer and Chomp Shell, unless you're dying to try
them out. They're not as effective as Mario and Bowser's current weapons.
In the first room of the hotel, jump on the
bookcase and jump to uncover a Frog Coin. Exit Marrymore to Booster Pass for
some extra goodies that you opened up in Booster Tower. Head back a screen &
through the open cave. Jump across the platforms, avoiding the Spikeys.
You'll have to fight the Snifit who is
apprenticing for an upgrade. After clubbing the snot out of him (for shame,
apprentice), head across to three boxes which contain a Kerokero Cola, Frog
Coin, and Flower. Exit back to Marrymore. Attempt to enter the chapel and
Raz and Rani will be kicked out. Behind the chapel is a hidden entrance
(left steeple). Take the stairs and for kicks, jump on the cake. Go up to
the left and help the Snifit break down the door by running in step with him.
Save here and try the door to get Bowser out. Do the same routine with him
to break into the church. Princess loses all her "wedding gear". As quickly
as possible, talk to each scrambling Snifit to find all three pieces and
light the candles. Nab the crown on Booster's head, then talk to the would-
be groom to engage in a sweet kissing match. Depending on how many candles
were lit, Mario will be kissed by either Princess (with Bowser and Booster
smooching, too), Bowser/Mario, Booster/Mario, and Bowser/Booster/Mario. Now
that's one for the scrapbook! The French chefs will be royally peeved that
their cake will go to waste with no wedding. YOU FOOLS! Ignore the fist-
flying chefs and keep attacking the cake, which will soon turn evil. Yeah,
you heard me...what will Nintendo think of next? When the chefs take off, you
fight the lone cake. The key is to snuff out all of its candles. Use A-
button attacks constantly through two stages (tiers?) of cake (Bundt &
Raspberry) until Booster comes and eats the cake...and all the
gross things on his shoes from jumping on it...he he he. Exit the chapel
and save, then head out to Mushroom Kingdom. Talk to the blue Toad guy
near the entrance for a Frog Coin. Head into the
Chancellor's Room of the palace to reunite the Princess with her flock. Exit
the castle sans Princess and she will float on in and decide to rejoin the
party. If you have 500 coins and want to play a fun mini-game, enter the Inn
and talk to the kid playing Game Boy in the right corner. Talk to him again
and again until he offers it to you at a cost. Beetle Mania will be added to
your main menu and can be accessed at any time. It's a fun little break from
trouncing Koopas (see my Games section for details). So...where the heck is
our well-deserved star? Exit to Tadpole Pond and visit Frogfucius to learn
that it is in Star Hill. Exit to the map and head to Star Hill. Press A to
activate the green star/flower on the left to open the door and enter it.
Activate all 5 similar star/flowers to activate another door, then activate
6 more to enter the last door where you'll find the Purple Star in the back.
Hurrah!
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
[M6.5]
*The Marine Star*
To exit Star Hill, activate the last group of 6 flowers and head through the
star door to the map. Head over to the newly opened Seaside Town. Everyone
seems verrrry peculiar at the moment...too much salt water. In the top
right house is the Elder
(again, very weird) who will ask you to find the star that is lost to the
sea. On the upper floor of that house is a frog pupil of Frogfucius' who
will sell you some accessories in exchange for Frog Coins. If you have
enough, try the Exp. Booster first, but you probably don't have many to buy
with. Save in the Inn (rest there if you want), then head out to Sea. In
the next section is a Shamen (the sage masked as a shopkeeper, he he he).
Buy a set of new armour (Sailor Shirt, Pants, Cape, and Nautica Dress) and a
new weapon for Bowser (Hurly Gloves). Equip all and sell back the old stuff
if you please. Take the right exit to the next area. Drop down to a
treasure box and hit for an Invincibility Star. Run like the wind through
all the starfish. Take the left ledge through more, then drop down and
through to the next area. Head left and upwards through the top left
opening. Hit the boxes for a Recovery Mushroom, Flower, and Frog Coin, then
jump over the crates to save. Go up and back to the previous room. In the
water, wade to the next room and make your way into the whirlpool to sink
(Mario must have Super Lungs!). Go up and left to a secret cave. Float up
to the surface and jump out, hitting the box for a Max Mushroom. Head back
down to the next section, outdoors for a change. Avoid or fight the little
blooper, then sink down and enter the Sunken Ship through the pipe-like
entrance. Read the memos if you want a little backstory on the ship. Go
through the right door and save, then head back a room and left to the next
one, then through the next 2 doors. Jump on the crates at right and drop into
the back right corner for a Flower. Take the stairs, avoiding the Rats, and
jump on the higher crates again and again for 100 coins from the box. In the
next room, there is a very easy way to avoid going through each door and I'll
let you in on it, but if you'd prefer to go through all the doors you'll have
to find another walkthrough on it, because I've never done it any way but
this one...alrighty then, go through to the next section, talk to the Shamen
if you need more gear, then head through the door. Enter the last room on the
right, fighting the Greaper to get by. Save and head up through the door.
Hit the boxes to spell out the word PEARLS. Press A at the pipe for a
victory sound, make sure Mallow and Geno are in your immediate party, and
approach the door to begin a fight with King Calamari and his multiple
Tentacles. You'll fight two sets of 3 tentacles first before hitting the big
squid. Use Mario's best fire attack, Geno's A-button attacks, and Mallow to
heal and use items. After
they're gone, you move on to a new set that bookend the big guy. Continue
the same strategy until they're defeated. In the next room, jump to the high
door and enter. Make your way among the Rats, down the stairs to the next
room. In the top left, jump on the barrels then to the boxes. Hit both for
about 200 coins, then go through to the next room. Here's something cool...a
wise guy, eh? Jump in the bottom right of the middle light, then jump on
your twin to hit a hidden box with a Kerokero Cola. Go through to the next
room and through the left door. Behind the crates is a hidden room with a
Frog Coin in the box. Back a room, go down the stairs to the next area.
Get the
Recovery Mushroom and save. Prepare for a fight, then hit the treasure box
for a fight with Hidon. Use Mario's best Jump attack and general A-button
fighting from the other two to whack him. You get the Safety Badge for your
troubles. Save again, then head up 2x and swim to the whirlpool to sink down.
Collect the 4 Frog Coins, then
go up 2x and down the stairs, hopping over the starfish (you'll probably
fight most of them). Behind the barrels is a hidden room with the Safety
Ring. Back a room, watch out for the whirlpool and collect the Frog Coin
at left (hop out to land), then go right to the next area. It's an ambush!
Fight the gang with A-button
attacks and Mallow's Thunderbolt to knock them all dead...well, not really,
they just run off. Get the Recovery Mushroom to heal up, then head upstairs.
Aaaaaahhhhh....ha ha ha...ya missed! Fight more guys and head up until you
meet Johnny Jones, the head pirate. Gulp. This guy can be brutal, so brace
yourself. Have Mario and Geno use A-button attacks on Johnny and Mallow's
Thunderbolt on the Bandana Blues while healing when needed. To avoid a
direct one-on-one between Mario and Johnny, keep one minion alive, with
all attacks centred on Johnny. I've tried the one-on-one and its tough, so I
suggest you try this out. You get the Marine Star. Now that was easy...or was
it? Head through the next door and take the trampoline out. Head back to
Seaside Town where you are ambushed (again) by the mushroom freaks. I KNEW
something was fishy about these guys...get it? Fishy? Sea? Forget
it...Hand it over nice & easy. Don't worry, we'll get it back.
Unfortunately, no shops will be in service, so I hope you have enough
healing items. If not, you can always return to the sea and visit the shamen
guy to fill up. Trade Mallow for Princess, save in the Inn, then head left
to fight Yaridovich. This guy is super-tough, but the Princess is amazingly
helpful with healing. Use all A-button attacks, and have Princess use Group
Hug when any one of your guys is hurt. Now the Marine Star is yours!
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
[M6.6]
*The Red Star*
Johnny leaves a key and a note for you, Mr. Hero. Go back to the town and
free the real citizens of Seaside Town from the locked shed. Apply the
Flower Box from the Elder. Now all the shops are open, so refill your stock
if needed, rest, and save. Try out the Beetle Racing shop if you wish (see
Games section for details). Purchase the Parasol, Double Punch, and Ribbit
Stick from the shop and apply to Princess, Geno, and Mallow (respectively).
Try the Troopa Shell on Mario if you wish. I think it's about equal to the
Masher, depending on who you fight. Talk to the real Elder to learn where
the next star is located. Exit to the map and head to Land's End. Save
here, and take the cannon like a pipe. This takes some finesse. Press B
with precise timing to fling yourself forward onto the next platform. Stand
on the yellow platform and jump at its highest point (slightly left) to get
a hidden Red
Essence. In the next area, jump between the cannon and its next platform to
reveal a yellow platform. Use the cannon to shoot forward, either on the
platform or in the hole which releases several Chows. Jump out and hit the
spot below the hole to uncover another yellow platform. Take the cannon
again and shoot onto the new yellow one. Jump to the box for a Frog Coin,
then up to the ledge. In the leftmost corner, jump for a Kerokero Cola, then
head forward a screen. Take the platforms across, avoiding/fighting Geckits
till you reach the exit. If you happen to fall (very likely), take the
cannon to return to the beginning. Save in the next area, and go right to
two blue flowers. On the top (rightmost) one, jump far left to get a Frog
Coin, then go
back left to the ledges, jumping off the spinning flowers to the next area.
Play the Sky Bridge game if you want (see Games for help), or drop down for
the Cricket Jam game (you know the drill...Games). After any or none of that,
take the platforms that make up the Sky Bridge forward to the desert. Talk
to the mouse who is also on his way to Monstro Town. Save, then head to the
next screen. This can be tricky, so I'll try my best to explain it. You
want to approach the quicksand pits and fight each Shogun that appears, then
use the pit to be carried to a new section. Sometimes you might take the
"wrong" path, but you'll eventually end up where you want to. When you come
to an area with a path heading out, take it and you'll find the mouse again
in another area we'll explore later. Take another Shogun hole until you land
in a cave. Save and drop down to the box with an Invincibility Star. Ram
into as many enemies as you can to level up. In the room with all those
Geckits, you're probably thinking, "Darn, I wish I had another star to hit
all these foolish reptiles up for points". Well, darn it if a Shamen isn't
hiding behind the stack of crates at left. Pay 400 coins for a new star and
whack all them Geckits for level-ups. Head up to the next area, Belome
Temple. Ignore the trampoline shamen for now and go through to the next
room. Hit the box for 50 coins, then talk to the shamen there to have your
fortune read by hitting 3 Belome tongues in any order. There are six
possible combinations for 6 different "fortunes" and they are: 1/2/3 (Yoshi
Cookie or Recovery Mushroom), 1/3/2 (Yoshi Cookie), 2/1/3 (3 Chows), 2/3/1 (3
Chows or a Shy Away), 3/1/2 (100 Coins or a Frog Coin), 3/2/1 (100 coins).
So pick your favourite (if you pick an enemy combo, you are a sad, strange
little person). Take the little step to collect the fortune, then jump up
and into the next area. Take the pipe and hit the box, then head up to the
next room. Collect the coins, then jump on its box using
the left wall to get a Frog Coin. Take the stairs down. How about another?
Sure, boss.
Hit the next box for a Frog Coin. In the next room, hit the tongue for
another fortune. A weird one at that. If it says he's hungry, take the
elevator, but if it says it's his bedtime, exit and re-enter to get another
"fortune" read. After the elevator, take the pipe to fight Belome, Part II.
This Belome creates clones of you and your friends to use your own powers
against you...man! Use Mario and Geno's A-button attacks, and Princess as
healer/item user, attacking with A whenever possible. I'd say stick with
Belome, but the clones can be vicious, so have each of your guys fight each
of them, using Geno's multiple attacks if possible. After you win the fight
(yay), hit the ! switch and head up to the mouse, then take the pipe to
Monstro Town. In the first room, talk to the mushroom character, then head
upstairs to find....a....star. A dancing star...great. Talk to the mouse and
you will secretly unlock a side quest in Rose Town. It'll be a while, but
don't worry, I won't forget about it. Go back and demand that mushroom lady
give you another star. Or be polite and ask about the real star...whatever.
The Sky Troopas will appear (took you long enough, slowpokes!) to help you
out. Before heading out to meet them, you can try the Super Jump mini-game,
Culex battle, and Dojo (see Games for all info), but you should do this: Talk
to the Thwomp in the Super Jump room 7x (that's right...SEVEN) and exit to find
a key. Check out the item shop to stock up, then rest in the Inn if need be
(you'll also take part in a game of Hide the Flag, see Games). Drop in the
hole at far right to save, then take the rightmost door, jumping in the
bottom left for a Frog Coin, then exit and head to Tadpole Pond. Remember
that star dance? It's song is meant for a composer's ears...got it? Well, in
case you don't, visit Toadofsky and play the Star Lullaby to receive an
improvised encore of your choice. Play any series of notes and he will play
an opus. Sweet! You receive the last card in the rank of Soprano. Exit to
Monstro Town. Head left in the main area and take the trampoline back to
Land's End, more specifically Belome's Temple (told ya we'd be back). Head
left to the elevator and hit the tongue for a fortune. When it reads "Sorry"
about bedtime, take the elevator down and go right to bang into the Golden
Belome. Feed him the Temple Key and collect your goodies (here's the
inventory: 8 Frog Coins, 4 Flowers, 1 Fire Bomb, 1 Royal Syrup, and 1 Max
Mushroom). Go back through the temple until you meet up with the Shamen and
his trampoline. Pay him 100 coins to use it and...ahem...use it. Ah, the arid
desert *cough, hack*. Take the upper path to finally meet up with the ever-
patient Paratroopas. Time to "Scale the Cliff". I have found a great guide
on this, so check it out under Games, as you can revisit this cliff again for
game prizes. Head forward to Bean Valley. Take the pipe at right and go
left until you reach the edge, jumping to reveal a Frog Coin. Take the next
pipe, then the one below, and get the Flower from the box. Take yet another
pipe back and go left to the next screen. This area is pretty much random
prizes
and enemies that lead up to a mini-boss. The very back pipe unveils a new
location. Defeat the Chomp Chomp and jump 3x in the far left corner where it
was to reveal a yellow platform. Jump to the ledge and up to reveal Grate
Guy's Casino on the map. To enter it, you'll need to play Knife Guy's mini-
game at Booster Tower (see Games for help). Sorry, but you'll need to
backtrack through the map to Bean Valley and go through its first couple of
areas back to the multiple pipes. Enter the leftmost pipe and use the box
like a slot machine to get a prize/enemy. The rightmost pipe has a Box Boy
to fight. Use Mario's best Jump attack and the others' A-button attacks to
win. In the same room, jump in the L-shaped corner (far right) below the
first step to get a Red Essence. Use the trampoline up the
stairs and get the Frog Coin from the box. Take the pipe down and use the
next trampoline to exit. The front left pipe has another slot machine box.
The front right pipe has another, as well as a hidden box if you jump in the
corner below the slot machine one for a Kerokero Cola. Save behind the pipes
and go right. Have Mallow in your party and use the Trueform and Wake Up
pins on whoever you like. Time to fight the Megasmilax and his Smilax
minions. Defeat each wave of Smilaxs with A-button attacks and use Mallow's
multiple magic attack (Thunderbolt or Snowy). Princess is good for
refreshing HP. When the Megasmilax appears, continue the same strategy,
using Snowy. Pick up the Seed dropped by the Shy Away, vital for a future
side quest. Take the pipe and hit the brick to create a beanstalk. Very
cute. Climb up and make your way up the colourful beanstalks in the clouds,
jumping across them for Frog Coins and other things. At the top of the red
vine is a box with a Flower. When you get to the yellow vine, defeat the
Birdie there to make a platform appear. Use it to reach the blue vine and
jump to the yellow into the next area. Jump across the vines and hit the
platform above the yellow vine to cross over left. Head all the way to
the top where you'll find two boxes, one with a Frog Coin, the other a Rare
Scarf. Drop through the top hole and hit the boxes for 2 Flowers, then drop
again to Nimbus Land. The guards won't let you by, so use the smiley face
trampoline 2x to reach the main area. Enjoy the amusing cinema where Mallow's
naivete shines through. Enter the item shop and hop on the stack of boxes
behind the front desk, then jump towards the guy to get a Frog Coin.
Purchase the new weapons and sell your old ones (Mega Glove for Mario, War
Fan for Princess, Hand Cannon for Geno, and Sticky Glove for Mallow), and the
new armour (Fuzzy Shirt, Pants, Cape, and Dress). Save in the Inn (resting
if you want to) and then enter the top left house where you'll notice the
golden Mallow statue. Mario will be painted gold to sneak into the palace.
Once inside, you'll be alone for a moment. Head through the left door and
save. Attempt the next door to be rushed back to your spot. Avoid Dodo's
pecking beak by jumping with timing. Be careful, because sometimes he'll
switch the pattern around. If you win, you get a Feather. Save again and go
left where you'll be uncovered by guards. Follow them when they run off to
reach a room full of enemies. Jump down to get the Flower from the box, then
do down, right, up, and left to head back to the top level where you were.
Go through to the next room on top and get the Flower. If you want a
Recovery Mushroom, go through the bottom right door, then retrace your steps
back here. Go through the top left door. Jump where the Jawful was to get a
Frog Coin, then head down to find a hidden path into black screen and jump at
the end for another Frog Coin. Go right to find a bunch of captive Numbus
people. Talk to the far left one for a key, then the blue one for a Flower
Jar. Apply that, then save, and head back left, upstairs, then down 2x to
the main hallway. Fight the Heavy Troopa, then head through the middle door
with the key. Be ready to fight a major fight. Have Princess and/or Mallow
to heal. The first stage is Shelly (just an egg). "Fight" it until it
breaks to reveal Birdo, a tough old...bird. Use A-button attacks and Princess'
Group Hug to heal. Try to block his attacks with A, as they are extremely
harmful. When you win, get the second key, and can open the door behind the
egg.
Fight the Pinwheel first to avoid being blown off the ledge and jump on the
box to get a Frog Coin. The box itself contains a Flower. Backtrack to this
ledge again and go through to the next room. Read the note to learn that
Mallow's real parents are locked inside. Head up 1x and fight the Heavy
Troopa (these guys are hilarious...block with A to get a hit of "0"!). Head up
again and save, then have Bowser arranged in the middle fight position of the
party, with Princess or Mallow as your other partner to heal. This strategy
is key to defeating the boss coming your way. Keep heading upwards until you
see a shadow on the floor. Jump under it to reveal a platform, then jump
above it for an Invincibility Star. Run fast through all the enemies, and
you may even bop Dodo off the ledge! Keep heading forward until you fall off
the platform. Take the trampoline back into the marketplace to fight
Valentina and Dodo. They are both tough, so listen up. Dodo will carry
Bowser off to fight solo. Use Poison Gas immediately to deal major damage
throughout the fight. Use A-button attacks constantly and you should be
okay. Valentina has terrible defense, so keep whaling on her with A-button
attacks. I'd clear Dodo first, just because his pecking attack is annoying.
Mallow will get knocked with a key and free his real parents. Unfortunately,
Valentina didn't have the star, so you'll need to fight another big boss in
the volcano. Drat. Head down 2x and left once. Talk to the guard to get a
Flower Jar. Apply it now, then head down to a 3-door room. Hop in the top
left corner by the birdcage to get a Frog Coin. Exit the palace and go into
the top right house to find...Croco?!? He will run off and leave behind the
Signal Ring. Pick...it...up...duh. In the main area, hug the right edge of
town, heading down into thin air. Talk to the Shy Away to get Fertilizer.
First Seed, then Fertilizer. Hmmm....Head down the hole and take the
starburst trampoline to the map. Head back into Rose Town and enter the
new house in the
back to meet the Gardener. Give him the Seed and the Fertilizer back to back
for numerous, hilarious anecdotes in super-speed. Outside the house, climb the
crates at the side to reach the beanstalk and climb up into the clouds. Hit
the boxes for the Lazy Shell weapon and armour. Apply these to Mario now, as
nothing works better. Rest at the Inn for free and you'll meet Link from
Legend of Zelda in the bed next to you. Press A at his bedside for a
familiar tune. This is a cute secret I just had to incorporate here. For
more Secrets, see the separate page. Save, then head back to Nimbus Land.
Go down the top hole and talk to the guards, who now recognize your true
royalty. Darn tootin'. Head right and jump in the hot spring to fully
recover, then head into the dangerous Barrel Volcano. Not too dangerous,
mind you. Head down and follow the small stone walkway. Hit the boxes for 2
Flowers in the secret cave, then go back and jump across more stones. Climb
left and up to the next area. Climb up again and avoid the Dry Bones. Next
area, hit the box for a Flower, then go up and hit the next one for lots of
coins. Next area, hit the box for an Invincibility Star and run forward,
climb up and hit the Corkpedite. Go left 1x, then up to the next area. Go
left of the lava and run/jump to the Frog Coin, then head up 1x. Take the
stone walk again, carefully timing it to avoid a lot of fights. Go through
the doorway, then come back and jump on the lava (seriously) to be flung
above the door and get a Frog Coin. Go
forward again, and time your jumps carefully across the blocks to another
Frog Coin, then around and up for another Frog Coin, then forward 1x. Run
left, avoiding the volcanic dude. Hit the box for a Flower, then go up and
hit another box for a Frog Coin. Save, then go forward 1x. Beat the
Stumpet, then go around to the next area. Climb up, then down to another
area. Go up and fight the Corkpedite blocking your way (the key is to attack
the body to weaken it). Go left 1x, defeat a Stumpet, then head forward 1x.
Climb the rocks and hit the box for coins. Talk to the Hinopio who's peeking
out from the cave to enter his shop. Fill up on items or rest if you wish,
but definitely purchase the new armour (Fire Pants, Cape, Shell, and Dress).
You can buy the Fire Shirt if you want, but the Lazy Shell armour for Mario
is better. Take the right door out and save, making sure Mallow and Princess
are in your party, then head up across the bridge to the next area. Time to
fight the Czar Dragon. Have Mallow use Snowy to rid the field of Helios as
well as attack the dragon, Mario use A-button moves, and Princess to heal
with Group Hug or items. A second stage begins as he transforms himself into
Zombone. Continue fighting the same way, just use Mallow's Shocker instead
of Snowny to win. After the fight, go to the next area where you will get
the Red Star...swiped out of your hands?!? Chase the Axem Rangers, an obvious
recreation of the popular TV show The Power Rangers, to a ship where you will
then fight them. I hope Mario is wearing that Lazy Shell, because your party
may crap out before he does with 1 HP lost per ranger attack. Have Princess
heal (probably every turn) and Mallow can use Shocker, his best direct solo
attack. Mario's A-button attack is best here. The key to winning is the
order in which you fight the Rangers. Drop Pink first as she copycats
Princess in healing her party. Next, go for Black, then Green, then Yellow,
and finally Red. That's pretty much going from strongest to weakest. A-
button attacks seem to generally work best, though Mallow's Shocker deals a
mighty wallop. Stage two begins with them forming a group dynamic using the
Breaker Beam attack. Make sure Princess uses Group Hug after each BB blowout
and keep using Shocker and A-button attacks to win the Red Star...again.

[M6.7]
*The Yellow Star*
Return to Nimbus Land and head into the palace to find Mallow's parents.
They will provide you with transport to Bowser's castle to fight Smithy. Ah,
public transit, so reliable. Refill items, rest, and save if need be, then
go left to the Royal Bus Station to board the makeshift bus. You'll fly (?)
to Bowser's Keep. Switch Mallow for Bowser, as Princess is the better
healer, and Bowser will chase off most enemies you fight. Head forwards to a
familiar room (it's where you fought Bowser on the chandelier...and the poor
Kinklink). The bridge is now made of Donut blocks. Head forwards to a dark
room, tunnel-visioned by a scope. You might find a Recovery Mushroom in the
block if you're good at navigating the room. Next room is...Croco (again?
Man, this guy sure gets around). He's good now, selling you neat items. Buy
any as need be, though you should have the armour already. In the bottom
left path, head through to reach two boxes with 150 coins and a Recovery
Mushroom. Head forward to the next room after Croco to the Six Doors
challenge. What you find behind each door varies per game, but you will come
across one of two varieties from three types of challenges: Action, Battle,
and Puzzle, so doing your math right, there are 2 kinds x 3 types = 6
possibilities. You only need to complete 4 of them, so feel free to change
doors if you find your first choice too hard. I've listed them in detail
under Games, as they are mostly fun little trials. So, check out that page
for help. Completing four doors gives you access to the next room, where
you'll drop down to a save box. Head up to fight an evil Magikoopa who will
summon enemies to fight in front of him, so you'll have to wipe them out
first. Eliminate them quickly. Just use A-button attacks and
have Princess heal when needed to conk them all out. Magikoopa turns good
and gives you a box that pours out unlimited coins, so use it at your will
and you can buy more items from Croco, who's now moved to the door at left.
Buy the new armour from him (Prince Pants for Mallow, Star Cape for Geno,
Heal Shell for Bowser, and Royal Dress for Princess). The Hero Shirt is
weaker than the Lazy Shell, but try it if you want. Go back a room and
through the right door, dodging Thwomps and Big Berthas on your way up to the
next room. Now to fight Boomer. He's pretty easy, even as he transforms
bodies. Use A-button attacks when he's blue and magic attacks when he's red.
Have Princess heal as always. The chandelier will then bring you up to fight
the Blade. This fight is pretty hard, as there are several parts that need
attention and pain to reach the core of Blade, which is Exor on top. You
must blind both eyes and ideally the Neosquid to weaken Exor's defense and
then slam him to death. Use Princess to heal (and attack if everyone is A-
OK), and have Bowser use A-button attacks and Mario's best jump attack (hope
you have Ultra Jump). When the eyes and Neosquid revive, focus on them again
before continuing to beat Exor. You may also like to use multiple magic
attacks like Bowser Crush and Princess' Psych Bomb if you have them. They
are the strongest magic attacks against Blade. When he's finished, you get
sucked into the sword, which acts as a facade for a factory. Go figure...You
land at the Gate. If you want to backtrack and get items from other worlds,
do it now, because it's EXTREMELY hard to backtrack once you're inside the
core of the Factory. Switch Bowser with Geno and go forward to the next
area. This part is from SMB3 (World 5 castle, I think) where you jump on the
nut repeatedly to move along the screw. Jump off and save, then go forward
1x. Continue to move across more screws, then forward 1x. Fight the Ameboid
enemies, then hit the switch and go up 1x. Jump in the bottom left corner
for a Recovery Mushroom, then save again. Continue forward and get the Ultra
Hammer from the box. Sweet...though Lazy Shell proves better. Use the
trampoline and go across the screws, hit another trampoline, then approach
the giant clock, Count Down and his two Ding-a-Lings. Time to clock him
out...oh, I'm so hilarious. Use A-button attacks constantly on Count Down and
then take out the Ding-a-Lings. Have Princess heal (getting a bit ad
nauseum, isn't it?). After the battle, save and use the trampoline. Go up
and use the conveyor belt, hitting the box for a Recovery Mushroom,
then drop to the white platform across and then onto another belt. If you
fall, no biggie...just use the trampoline to return to the beginning of the
last part you were in. Hit the boxes for a Flower and Recovery Mushroom,
then go forward 1x. You'll have to fight multiple enemies as they fall down
the belts, but try to make your way up them, hugging the sides when possible
and time your jumps to reach the next area. Hit the box for a Royal Syrup.
I would try to save that for Smithy, but if it's a dire emergency, go ahead.
Go down the next belt and jump to the white platform, then to the next belt
when nearby. Go left and hit the box for a Max Mushroom, then go forward 1x.
Make your way up another series of belts with Bowyer enemies (remember when
he was a big boss? No more. Too easy). Go through another section and
save, then go forward into the top left corner with two boxes, a Flower and a
Recovery Mushroom. Fight the mechanical Yardovich, then a hole explodes
open. Jump down to fight Cloaker and Domino. Pick one to finish off,
because which one you beat determines the second stage battle. Domino and
his successor Mad Adder are easiest, IMO, so defeat Cloaker first to bring
out this combo. Use special attacks especially Geno Whirl and Mario's Super
Jump for cheap, but effective FP moves. Have Princess heal, as usual. Use
A-button attacks on Mad Adder, ignoring Domino until they're toast, history,
finito, fertilizer...you get the picture. Head left to the Factory. Defeat
the Mad Mallets that are sent to bop you one, then fight Clerk. He's easy,
just use A-button attacks, focusing on Clerk, though the Mad Mallets may get
annoying if they don't run off after Clerk's gone. Toad will appear with
good inventory stock, so buy whatever items you like (I suggest Max Mushrooms
and Pick Me Ups). He'll give you a free Rock Candy for shopping, then go
through the next room to fight Manager. Use the same A-button attacks to
win. Head up again to fight Director exactly the same way as the previous
guys (*yawn*). Head up again, save, and go forward 1x to Factory Chief and
his Gunyolk. You can avoid Gunyolk's attack by having Princess use Mute on
it. Use A-button attacks as usual and Princess to heal to win. Retreat,
stock up with Toad if necessary, then save. Hope you're ready for this,
'cause it's a hell of a fight. Ideally, your party should have maximum
abilities, and the best weapons & armour at your service. Plus, your items
should be plentiful and powerful. But, that's fine and dandy if you sucked
them up with the previous 10+ battles on the way here. Oh well...try your
dandiest. Head up and jump on the switch to be carried off to Smithy for one
of two battle stages. Focus on the Smelter as it annoyingly provides Smithy
with backup. Have Geno use his best magic attack on everyone and have
Princess use Group Hug whenever needed, attacking the Smelter when clear to
fight. After Smelter is down, focus on Smithy with A-button attacks. Stage
one ends when Smithy is warned about the shaking from his scrub unit.
Arrrrggghhh!! Cool...it seems we're in the bowels of destruction...har har
har! Smithy is really an 8000 HP robot who can change heads at a whim in four
varieties: Tank, Magic, Vault, and Box (they look just like their names, in
case you missed the irony). Use Mario's Lazy Shell (it's Armour is
impeccably preventive), Geno's best magic attack (Flash) and Princess' Group
Hug/items. When it's clear, you can also try her A-button attack. This
battle is the hardest one I've never come against, especially because I
usually run out of good items by the time I reach stage two of Smithy's
battle. Good luck and if you win, you're a Nintendo demigod!

*Items*
Items are just as plentiful in SMRPG as in the other Paper Mario games.
There are unfortunately no pictures of any SMRPG items as most of them
are referred to and dealt with in text format through menus and RPG
battles. So, this will have to suffice. Hey, it's GameFAQs anyway,
no pics allowed :oP

*Boss & Mini-Boss Strategies*
Here is a listing of bosses & mini-bosses encountered in the game,
personal strategies on how to defeat them & a rating out of 5* based on
difficulty.
Hammer Bro
Found at: Mushroom Way
HP- 50
Attack- 6
Powers- Hammer Time, Valor Up
Notes- You actually fight two of them. Best to be at level 3. Use Jump and
magic attacks to finish them off quickly.
Difficulty: *
Croco (First Battle)
Found at: Bandit’s Way
HP- 320
Attack- 25
Powers- Weird Mushroom
Weakness- Fire
Strength- Sleep
Notes- Use Mario’s Fire Orb to make Croco skip a turn to "douse a tail fire".
You can use that attack continuously. For Mallow, use HP Rain, Mushrooms, and
Honey Syrups because his A button attack is weak. His Thunderbolt can be used
if you have the all-clear.
Difficulty: *
Mack
Found at: Mushroom Kingdom
HP- 480
Attack- 22
Powers- Flame Wall, Flame
Weakness- thunder
Strength- fear, poison, sleep, mute
Notes- Use Mario’s Hammer and Mallow’s Thunderbolt to stun Mack and clear the
Bodyguards quickly (though they can re-appear). Continue this pattern, having
Mallow heal when necessary.
Difficulty: * 1/2
Belome (First Battle)
Found at: Kero Sewers
HP- 500
Attack- 30
Powers- Sleep Sauce, S’crow Funk
Weakness- thunder
Strength- sleep
Notes- I would suggest having Mario use Jump (whatever level you have) and
Mallow’s Thunderbolt, as well as healing if you need it. You’ll lose Mallow to
lunch (yikes!) for a while, but he soon returns. Have Mario wear the Trueform
Pin to avoid S’crow Funk.
Difficulty: * 1/2
Bowyer
Found at: Forest Maze
HP- 720
Attack- 50
Powers- Static E!, G’nite, Bolt, Lightning Orb
Strength- fear, poison, sleep, mute
Notes- In this battle, Geno joins the fight. Use his Geno Beam, Mario’s A-
button (NokNok Shell) and Mallow’s A-button (Froggie Stick) as well as healing
and using items (since his is weakest). Bowyer can deactivate one of the A, X,
or Y buttons during the fight, so be prepared to switch strategies throughout.
Avoid using Mallow’s Thunderbolt (useless).
Difficulty: **
Croco (Second Battle)
Found at: Mole Mines
HP- 750
Attack- 52
Powers- Chomp
Weakness- fire
Strength- sleep
Notes- Have Mario use Punch Glove and Super Jump; Mallow use healing and items
or Cymbals for off-turns; and Geno can use Geno Beam. At one point, Croco will
steal your X-button items, so beware and be prepared. Have Mallow use HP Rain
if needed.
Difficulty: **
Punchinello
Found at: Mole Mines
HP- 1200
Attack- 60
Powers- Sand Storm
Strength- fear, poison, sleep, mute
Notes- Magic attacks are mostly useless, though Mallow’s Thunderbolt attacks
all the Bob-ombs that are summoned. Have Mario and Geno use A-button
attacks.
Difficulty: **
Booster
Found at: Booster’s Tower
HP- 800
Attack- 75
Powers- Spritz Bomb, Loco Express
Weakness- jump
Strength- sleep
Notes- You only fight him if you are caught while playing the hide-n-seek
curtain game. Use Mallow’s Thunderbolt to thump all three (Booster & 2 Snifits)
and A-button attacks to bring them down.
Difficulty: **
Grate Guy
Found at: Booster’s Tower
HP- 900
Attack- 60
Powers- Meteor Blast, Echofinder
Weakness- thunder
Strength- fire, sleep
Knife Guy
Found at: Booster’s Tower
HP- 700
Attack- 70
Powers- Crystal, Blizzard
Weakness- fire
Strength- thunder, sleep
Notes- Use Mario’s best fire attack on Knife Guy and Mallow’s Thunderbolt on
both (while healing occasionally). Bowser’s Chomp is an effective attack, too
Difficulty: **
Bundt
Found at: Marrymore
HP- 900
Attack- 65
Powers- Lulla-bye, Diamond Saw, Blizzard
Weakness- jump
Strength- fire, thunder, ice, fear, poison, sleep, mute
Raspberry
Found at: Marrymore
HP- 600
Attack- 70
Powers- Drain Beam, Sand Storm
Weakness- jump
Strength- fire, thunder, ice, fear, poison, sleep
Chef Torte
Found at: Marrymore
HP- 100
Attack- 60
Strength- fear, poison, sleep, mute
Notes- Ignore the fist-flying chefs and keep attacking the cake. When the chefs
take off, you fight the lone cake. The key is to snuff out all of its candles.
Use A-button attacks constantly.
Difficulty: ** 1/2
King Calamari
Found at: Sunken Ship
HP- 800
Attack- 100
Powers- Venom Drool, Drain Beam, Sand Storm, Ink Blast
Weakness- fire
Strength- fear, poison, sleep, mute
Left Tentacle
Found at: Sunken Ship
HP- 260
Attack- 82
Weakness- fire
Strength- sleep, mute
Right Tentacle
Found at: Sunken Ship
HP- 200
Attack- 87
Weakness- fire
Strength- sleep, mute
Notes- You’ll fight a set of 3 tentacles first before hitting the big squid.
Use Mario’s best fire attack, Geno’s A-button attacks, and Mallow to heal and
use items, and occasionally use Thunderbolt to attack all 3. After they’re
gone, you move on to a new set that bookend the big guy. Continue the same
strategy until they’re defeated.
Difficulty: ***
Jonathan "Johnny" Jones
Found at: Sunken Ship
HP- 820
Attack- 85
Powers- Get Tough, Skewer, Diamond Saw, Mega Drain
Strength- sleep
Notes- Have Mario and Geno use A-button attacks on Johnny and Mallow’s
Thunderbolt on the Bandana Blues while healing when needed. To avoid a direct
one-on-one between Mario and Johnny, keep one minion alive, keeping all attacks
centred on Johnny.
Difficulty: *** (solo fight: *** 1/2)
Yaridovich
Found at: Seaside Town
HP- 1500
Attack- 125
Powers- Water Blast, Flame Stone, Willy Wisp, Pierce
Weakness- thunder
Strength- fear, poison, sleep, mute
Yaridovich Clone
Found at: Seaside Town
HP- 500
Attack- 100
Powers- Static E!, Meteor Blast
Weakness- thunder
Strength- fear, poison, sleep, mute
Notes- Use all A-button attacks, and have Princess use Group Hug when any one
of your guys is hurt.
Difficulty: *** 1/2
Belome (Second Battle)
Found at: Belome’s Temple
HP- 1200
Attack- 120
Powers- Aurora Flash, Light Beam, Lullaby
Weakness- thunder
Strength- sleep
Notes- Use Mario and Geno’s A-button attacks, and Princess as healer/item user,
attacking with A whenever possible. I’d say stick with Belome, but the clones
can be vicious, so have each of your guys fight each of them, using Geno’s
multiple attacks if possible.
Difficulty: ***
Megasmilax
Found at: Bean Valley
HP- 1000
Attack- 140
Powers- Flame Wall, Petal Blast, S’crow Dust
Weakness- ice
Strength- fear, poison, sleep, mute
Smilax
Found at: Bean Valley
HP- 200
Attack- 100
Powers- Pollen Nap, Drain, Flame
Weakness- ice
Strength- fear, poison, sleep, mute
Notes- Have Mallow in your party and use the Trueform and Wake Up pins on
whoever you like. Defeat each wave of Smilaxs with A-button attacks and use
Mallow’s multiple magic attack (Thunderbolt or Snowy). Princess is good for
refreshing HP. When the Megasmilax appears, continue the same strategy, using
Snowy.
Birdo
Found at: Nimbus Castle
HP- 777
Attack- 160
Powers- shoots one or several eggs (Eggbert)
Strength- fire, fear, poison, sleep, mute
Eggbert
Found at: Nimbus Castle
HP- 10
Attack- 210
Strength- fear, poison, sleep, mute
Shelly
Found at: Nimbus Castle
HP- 500
Attack- 0
Notes- Have Princess and/or Mallow to heal. The first stage is Shelly (just an
egg). "Fight" it until it breaks to reveal Birdo. Use A-button attacks and
Princess’ Group Hug to heal. Try to block his attacks with A, as they are
extremely harmful. Use Defense to knock the Eggbert back at Birdo!
Difficulty: ****
Valentina
Found at: Nimbus Castle
HP- 2000
Attack- 120
Powers- Petal Blast, Drain Beam, Solidify, Diamond Saw, Water Blast, Blizzard,
Crystal, Aurora Flash
Strength- ice, fear, poison, sleep, mute
Dodo
Found at: Nimbus Castle
HP- 1000
Attack- 140
Powers- Flutter Hush, Multistrike
Strength- sleep, mute
Notes- Have Bowser arranged in the middle fight position of the party, with
Princess or Mallow as your other partner to heal. Dodo will carry Bowser off
to fight solo. Use Poison Gas immediately to deal major damage throughout the
fight. Use A-button attacks constantly and you should be okay. Valentina has
terrible defense, so keep whaling on her with A-button attacks. I’d clear Dodo
first, just because his pecking attack is annoying.
Difficulty: *** 1/2
Czar Dragon
Found at: Barrel Volcano
HP- 1400
Attack- 160
Powers- Flame Wall, Water Blast, Iron Maiden
Weakness- ice
Strength- fire, sleep
Helio
Found at: Barrel Volcano
HP- 10
Weakness- ice
Zombone
Found at: Barrel Volcano
HP- 1800
Attack- 190
Powers- Boulder, Blast, Storm
Weakness- jump, thunder
Strength- fire, ice, fear, poison, sleep, mute
Notes- Take the right door out and save, making sure Mallow and Princess are in
your party, then head up across the bridge to the next area. Time to fight the
Czar Dragon. Have Mallow use Snowy to rid the field of Helios as well as attack
the dragon, Mario use A-button moves, and Princess to heal with Group Hug or
items. A second stage begins as he transforms himself into Zombone. Continue
fighting the same way, just use Mallow’s Shocker instead of Snowny to win.
Difficulty: ***
Axem Rangers
Found at: Barrel Volcano
HP- 999
Attack- 100
Powers- Breaker Beam
Weakness- thunder
Strength- fire, poison, sleep, mute
Notes- I hope Mario is wearing that Lazy Shell, because your party may crap out
before he does with 1 HP lost per ranger attack. Have Princess heal (probably
every turn) and Mallow can use Shocker, his best direct solo attack. Mario’s A-
button attack is best here. The key to winning is the order in which you fight
the Rangers. Drop Pink first as she copycats Princess in healing her party.
Next, go for Black, then Green, then Yellow, and finally Red. That’s pretty
much going from strongest to weakest. A-button attacks seem to generally work
best, though Mallow’s Shocker deals a mighty wallop. Stage two begins with them
forming a group dynamic using the Breaker Beam attack. Make sure Princess uses
Group Hug after each BB blowout and keep using Shocker and A-button attacks.
Difficulty: ****
Magikoopa
Found at: Bowser’s Keep
HP- 1600
Attack- 100
Powers- Bolt, Willy Wisp, Blast, Flame Wall
Strength- poison, sleep, mute
Notes- This guy will summon enemies to fight alongside him. Try to focus on
Magikoopa as beating him will cease the summoning of enemies, but then again,
if his minions are ganging up on you, eliminate them quickly. Just use A-button
attacks and have Princess heal when needed to conk them all out.
Difficulty: **
Boomer
Found at: Bowser’s Keep
HP- 2000
Attack- 200
Powers- Blast, Blizzard, Skewer, Storm, Shaker
Strength- fear, poison, sleep, mute
Notes- He’s pretty easy, even as he transforms bodies. Use A-button attacks
when he’s blue and magic attacks when he’s red. Have Princess heal as always.
Difficulty- **
Exor
Found at: Bowser’s Keep
HP- 1800
Attack- 0
Strength- thunder, fear, poison, sleep, mute
Left Eye
Found at: Bowser’s Keep
HP- 300
Attack- 153
Powers- Diamond Saw, Bolt, Blast, Dark Star, Flame Stone, Mega Drain
Weakness- jump, fire
Strength- thunder, sleep
Right Eye
Found at: Bowser’s Keep
HP- 500
Attack- 128
Powers- S’crow Bell, Venom Drool, Gunk Ball
Weakness- jump, fire
Strength- thunder, sleep
Neosquid
Found at: Bowser’s Keep
HP- 800
Attack- 180
Powers- Aurora Flash, Lulla-Bye, Solidify, Flame Wall, Blast, Static E!,
Corona, Carni Kiss
Strength- sleep
Notes- You must blind both eyes and ideally the Neosquid to weaken Exor’s
defense and then slam him to death. Use Princess to heal (and attack if
everyone is A-OK), and have Bowser use A-button attacks and Mario’s best
jump attack (hope you have Ultra Jump). When the eyes and Neosquid revive,
focus on them again before continuing to beat Exor. You may also like to use
multiple magic attacks like Bowser Crush and Princess’ Psych Bomb if you have
them. They are the strongest magic attacks against Blade.
Difficulty: ****
Countdown
Found at: Factory
HP- 2400
Attack- 0
Powers- Petal Blast, Aurora Flash, Water Blast, Crystal, Recover, Mega
Recover, Corona
Weakness- jump, thunder
Strength- fire, poison, sleep, mute

Found at: Factory
HP- 1200
Attack- 180
Powers- Dark Star, Fear Roulette, Spore Chimes, Doom Reverb, S’crow Bell
Weakness- ice
Strength- fear, poison, sleep
Notes- Use A-button attacks constantly on Count Down and then take out the
Ding-a-Lings. Have Princess heal.
Difficulty: ** 1/2
Cloaker (First Battle)
Found at: Factory

Weakness- fire
Strength- sleep, mute
Earth Link
Found at: Factory
HP- 2500
Attack- 220
Powers- Poison, Carni Kiss
Strength- fear, poison, sleep, mute
Mad Adder
Found at: Factory
HP- 1500
Attack- 150
Powers- Sand Storm, Boulder, Storm, Water Blast
Strength- fear, poison, sleep, mute
Notes- Pick one to finish off, because which one you beat determines the
second stage battle. Domino and his successor Mad Adder are easiest, IMO,
so defeat Cloaker first to bring out this combo. Use special attacks
especially Geno Whirl and Mario’s Super Jump for cheap, but effective FP
moves. Have Princess heal, as usual. Use A-button attacks on Mad Adder,
ignoring Domino.
Difficulty: ***
Clerk
Found at: Factory
HP- 500
Attack- 160
Powers- Poison
Notes- He’s easy, just use A-button attacks, focusing on Clerk, though the
Mad Mallets may get annoying if they don’t run off after Clerk’s gone.

*Games*
SMRPG is known as a cult classic mainly for its very entertaining framework.
Now, geekiness aside, here is the best info and strategy I can offer on these
mini-games.
Surprise Boxes
Well, this isn't an official "game" per se, but it does involve searching
long and hard for them, so consider it a treasure hunt. BTW, these are all

get an Attack Scarf. 100 or more jumps in a row gets you the Super Suit.
For specific help, try RRussell's guide on GameFAQs.com
Midas River
Where: Ahem...Midas River
Cost: First try is free (part of walkthrough), afterwards, 30 coins
Rewards: Frog Coins, Flowers (depends on what is collected during game);
every 60 coins nets you 1 Frog Coin
Stage 1 Strategy: Use the control pad to move left/right where traveling
down the waterfall, use B to swim against the current, try to enter grottos
in the rocky cliff (there are 5 in total, some with Flowers). AstroBlue has
great ASCII maps on GameFAQs.
Stage 2 Strategy: Barrel Jumping- for best rewards, play in this order:
bump, jump, jump, bump, repeated to end. Watch out for fish that will nab
coins from you.
Melody Bay
Where: Tadpole Pond, go right to Toadofsky's area
Cost: Free
How: Play melodies by standing on the rock and jumping to the tadpole on the
right note to play each song.
Strategies: The lines appear sideways, and each note is either on the line
or between it. It reads as such, with Mi in the first gap and Fa in the
last, in order gap, line, gap, line (repeating):
Mi
Re
Do
Ti
La
So
Fa
Songs:
Frogfucius' Suite #18- So, La, Mi, Re, Do, Re, Do, Re
Moleville Blues: Mi, Do, So, Do, Re, La, Ti, Do
Star Lullaby: La, Ti, Do, Re, So, Do, Re, Mi
Rewards: Alto Card, Tenor Card, Soprano Card for use in the two shops in
Tadpole Pond
Goomba Thumpin'
Location: Pipe Vault
Cost: 10 coins
How: Jump from pipe to pipe on the goombas to rack up points. A regular
Goomba is worth one, a gold one worth 3, and a Spikey worth minus 1 point.
You have 30 seconds, the object being to match or beat the set record.
Strategy: Stay on the middle pipe and try to gain momentum by holding Y and
tapping the control pad direction as needed. The key is to hit multiple
Goombas for more points
Rewards: Matching or beating the goal (starts at 20 points) gets a Flower
Tab, the next record (at 22 points) matched is a Flower Jar, then after that
is a Frog Coin.
Mushroom Derby
Location: Yo'ster Isle
Cost: Yoshi Cookies, obtained by the Red Yoshi walking by the entrance
How: Talk to Boshi, the shaded Yoshi at the start point. You can either bet
on a race or race yourself, with the odds given as such. Wager the maximum,
because the Red Yoshi always supplies free Cookies
Strategy: Racing is about keeping in time with the song's rhythm. Hold the
controller like a GameBoy (thanks AstroBlue for the tip) and concentrate on
hitting the A and B buttons alternatively to the cymbals in the song. Press
Y to eat the each of the 3 cookies for a boost, especially good if you're
close. Boshi is good, so keep practicing (Toad's tutorial practice is fairly
useless).
Mine Carting
Location: Moleville Mountain
Cost: Free for first try (part of walkthrough), 10 coins thereafter with
bets of 30 coins
How: Use A or Y to brake, B to jump and X to use a mushroom boost. Turn
corners with Control Pad.
Strategy: The best thing is to softly brake at corners, then speed across
long stretches of track. There are two sections, one underground indoors and
one outdoors. I think it's more fun if you just relax and enjoy the ride.
Jump for mushrooms in the first section and jump to different tracks for
mushrooms and coins in the second section.
Rewards: Beat your record from the first go-round and win back your bet,
plus 20 coins
Hide 'n' Seek Curtain Game
Location: Booster Tower
Cost: Free (part of walkthrough)
How: Use Control Stick to move Mario while behind the curtains to avoid the
Snifits as they open them in three stages.
Strategy: Picture the curtains numbered from left to right as 1, 2, 3 and 4,
and you can safely hide behind these ones (multiple choices are separated by
a /)
(first wave): 1/2/4, 1/2/3, 1/3/4, 2/3/4, 1/2/3;
(second wave): 1/3, 2/4, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 1/4, 3/4;
(third wave): 4, 1, 2, 3, 1, 3.
Reward: Amulet; if you fail, you fight Booster and his Snifits
Knife Guy's Juggling Game
Location: Booster Tower, after finishing Marrymore, follow the stairs to
find him
Cost: Free
How: He will juggle a red and yellow ball in variable speeds, and you must
detect which hand the yellow one landed in.
Strategy: At first, it's simple, but it gets harder as he speeds up. Focus
your eyes away from the balls (try Knife Guy's head) and the movement will
determine location. It's a neat eye trick (again, thanks AstroBlue, your tip
gave me access to Grate Guy's Casino!)
Reward: You'll receive three different rewards in stages (Wilt Shrooms,
Rotten Mushes and Moldy Mushes) which are perfectly useless, but finally
you'll get the Bright Card for access to Grate Guy's Casino (which should be
unlocked by following my walkthrough)
Beetle Mania
Location: Mushroom Kingdom Inn, the game is then set in your Menu screen (X)
How: Talk to the boy playing the game in the corner of the Inn several times
until he offers you the game for 500 coins. Pay to have the game "installed"
in your Menu screen. Press X, then select it to start. You play a beetle at
the bottom of the screen. Press A to shoot stars at the Koopa shells that
fall to gain points. Explosions occur, which is good for more points
(especially chain reactions), but if you are hit, press A constantly to heal.
Strategy: Not really, it's just for fun.
Reward: None; a fun mini-game as a break from saving the world, etc. etc.
Beetle Race
Location: Booster Tower, with gear at Beetles 'R' Us in Seaside Town
Cost: 100 coin start-up fee, then 50 coins to rent a beetle box (at Seaside
Town)
How: At Booster Hill, you'll automatically run up a hill with beetles
appearing as Snifits run behind you and barrels come tumbling in front. Jump
on the barrels and Snifits to leap forward and catch a beetle (male-large= 50
coins; female-small= 1 coin; gold= 1 Frog Coin). Hit any barrels or Snifits
and you fall back.
Strategy: Time your jumps accordingly with the barrels and Snifits. Not
much else to add here.
Rewards: Return to Beetles 'R' Us and receive coin payments based on
criteria above.
Sky Bridge
Location: Land's End
Cost: 5 coins
How: Use B to jump from block to block, timing it according to the limits of
the course. There are 3 difficulty levels to choose from: normal (jump from
block to block), special (blocks will fall after a while), and expert (blocks
fall and you jump over bullet bills shot out). At the end of the course, you
have the opportunity to double your win by completing it again, going the
back the other way with the same travails as before.
Strategy: Time your jumps to avoid falling or being hit by a bullet bill.
Your performance in the first run-through should determine whether or not to
take a chance going the other way for double or nothing.
Rewards: 5 coins (normal), 8 coins (special), Frog Coin (expert)...and
obviously double of each for a perfect repeat.
Cricket Jam Side Quest
Location: Land's End, the cave under the Sky Bridge
How: Jump through the cave and navigate normally. If you jump left while
standing on the crates, you'll uncover a Frog Coin. In the next area, jump
down when the barrel falls and hit the box for a Recovery Mushroom. Use the
trampoline to end up at Kero Sewers. Carefully jump across to the Cricket
Jam at left. Jump down and save, then use the pipe at right. Take the Midas
River course to Tadpole Pond, then visit Frogfucius.
Reward: 10 Frog Coins
**SHORTCUT:
When you go to Kero Sewers the first time you can get the Cricket Jam by
standing near the chest that heals you (the one close to the pipe that sends
you to where Belome is) and wait for one of the Boos to touch you, now
instead of fighting it just choose run away. When you run away from a battle
you can temporarily touch that monster without engaging battle so just jump
on top of him and then jump on the chest, after that you can reach the arches.
And if you go down the pipe that sends you to Land's End the monster in there
will fly towards you and say "This is a dead end, so it's best to turn back
now" which is advice you should follow for obvious reasons.
Seems like my memory discarded an important part about it, if you get it too
early you get a flower, but I don't remember if you can still get the jam
after doing that. I'm going to check that and get back to you on it in a few
days.

Weakness- jump
Strength- thunder, fear, poison, sleep, mute
Notes- Weakest of the crystals.
Location: Monstro Town
Cost: 500 coins (to unlock door)
How: The door to the battle remains locked, so to open it, go to Moleville
and enter the top left house. Take to the man in the corner and buy a batch
of fireworks for 500 coins. Go right in town to the girl with the yellow
bow. Swap Fireworks for a Shiny Stone. In Monstro Town, enter the door with
A. You'll be entering a battle with Culex and his four elemental crystals
(Fire, Water, Earth & Wind)
Strategy: You are warned to be prepared, and prepared you should be for this
fight. He's not as hard as Smithy's second stage, but it's tough without
good stuff. Equip Mario with the Lazy Shell weapon & armour, Safety Ring,
and have good healing items for HP and FP. The battle will be easier if you
have the Star Egg (see Grate Guy's Casino on this page), but if not, you
might be okay without it. Use Geno and Princess as partners. Geno's Boost
will help increase attack and defense. Use A-button attacks on them all,
eliminating the crystals first. The Star Egg is great with 150 HP dealt to
all.
Reward: Quartz Charm
Hide the Flag
Location: Monstro Town Inn
Cost: Free
How: Press A at the Amanita nightlight to go to sleep where you'll be
visited by the three musty fears who give you cryptic clues to find their
hidden flags. First, go to Yo'ster Isle and press A between the "O" and "A"
in GOAL at the Mushroom Derby track. Second, go to Mario's Pad (very first
location on map) and press A at the bed. Lastly, go to Rose Town and press A
at the welcome sign in front. Revisit the inn in Monstro Town and sleep
again to be rewarded.
Reward: Ghost Medal
Dojo Tournament
Jagger
Found at: Monstro Town
HP- 600
Attack- 120
Powers- Terrapunch
Strength- jump, fire, poison
Jinx (First Battle)
Found at: Monstro Town
HP- 600
Attack- 140
Powers- Jinxed, Valor Up, Triple Kick
Strength- fire, thunder, ice, fear, poison, sleep, mute
(Second Battle)
Found at: Monstro Town
HP- 800
Attack- 160
Powers- Quicksilver, Silver Bullet, Jinxed, Triple Kick, Valor Up
Strength- fire, thunder, ice, fear, poison, sleep, mute
Notes- Silver Bullet is an instant death attack.
(Third Battle)
Found at: Monstro Town
HP- 1000
Attack- 180
Powers- Bombs Away, Vigor Up, Valor Up, Quicksilver, Silver Bullet,
Jinxed, Triple Kick
Strength- fire, thunder, ice, fear, poison, sleep, mute
Location: Monstro Town, top door
Cost: Free
How: Enter the dojo and volunteer to fight Jagger. He's very easy, just
like a regular enemy you find along your journey. Use A-button attacks. No
problem. But the next three fights against his master, Jinx, are incredibly
tough.
Strategy: Equip the Safety Ring and Lazy Shell. Have several Max Mushrooms,
Maple/Royal Syrups, and Pick Me Ups at hand. The first fight with Jinx is
not too bad, just use A-button and have Princess heal occasionally. The
second fight is much tougher. Have Princess heal every turn if needed and
use power-up items (or use Geno's Boost) to defend against Jinx's Silver
Bullet. The third battle is the penultimate one. Jinx's Bombs Away is
purely apocalyptic! Use Group Hug every turn and Lazy Shell. Star Egg is
excellent here!
Reward: Jinx Belt...and a really cute "re-training" session between Jinx and
Jagger...*hop hop hop*
Scale the Cliff
Location: Land's End
Cost: Free (part of walkthrough, beat time record for reward)
How: Jump from Koopa to Koopa to "scale the cliff," jumping to the top,
attempting to beat the previously set record
Strategy: AstroBlue has a great map, which is basically in my crude terms:
Jump to the first Koopa (1), then the next (2), hold it as you move right and
jump (3), jump slightly left to the next Koopa (4), left again to the next
one (5), up and jump left (6), up and jump right (7), down and right to last
one (8), jump to the top ledge.
Reward: Finish in under 12 seconds for Troopa Pin. Under 11 seconds for 5
Frog Coins. After that, beating the record nets you a Frog Coin.
Grate Guy's Casino
Location: On the map (see walkthrough on how to uncover it)
Cost: Depends on game (see below)
How: Enter the casino, and choose from three games:
Slot Machine Box- 10 coins per game- uncover three of the symbols to win a
Frog Coin
Blackjack- 1 Frog Coin per game- like the card game (21), win a match for a
Frog Coin
Look the Other Way- a weird game with Crate Guy- no real strategy here, just
guess left or right- you win a range of prizes in increasingly better
increments (Mushroom, Moldy Mush, Rotten Mush, Wilt Shroom, Royal Syrip,
Kerokero Cola, Rock Candy, Red Essence), on your hundredth win (total) you
get the Star Egg.
Six Doors Challenge
Location: Bowser's Keep (see walkthrough for exact location)
Cost: Free
How: Choose a door and go through a random challenge from 3 types (2
varieties within each type): Action, Battle, and Puzzle. Complete 4 of the
doors for a new weapon and to continue on.
Strategy: The door's challenge is randomly picked from these types. Match
the description to what you see to follow along:
ACTION CHALLENGE # 1
An invisible path over a pit of lava. Jump on the pathway to light it up and
follow the safe path. The treasure boxes are a gamble, but try if you're
game. Next, follow the white platforms across the lava pit. In a nostalgic
return to classic Jumpman, avoid Donkey Kong's barrels and climb up until you
reach him to scare him off. In the next room is the Super Slap.
ACTION CHALLENGE # 2
Begins with white platforms over a lava pit. Follow along to the last one
and jump at its highest point for a Kerokero Cola. In the next area, jump on
the cannonball to move carefully amongst the Bob-ombs. Here, your directions
are reversed on the cannonball (press right to go left, etc.). Collect the
items if you want, but your main priority is to reach the end. The next
section is like in Bandit's Way with the rotating yellow platforms...this time
over a boiling lake of lava! Collect the items if you want, and make your
way (carefully) forward to the treasure, Sonic Cymbals.
BATTLE COURSE # 1
This is fairly routine to Mario's daily excursions in saving the Princess.
You will fight two rooms of enemies at separate junctions. Basically, just
use A-button attacks and magic if need be for special enemies that require it
to fall. At the end, you get the Star Gun.
BATTLE COURSE # 2
Same idea as # 1, but different enemies. Clear them all for the Drill Claw.
PUZZLE COURSE # 1
Hope you have a good memory and a quick trigger finger. This one begins with
a quiz show. You're asked 12 questions about the game with 5 seconds to
answer each one. A correct answer raises your platform and a wrong answer
lowers it. Hit the ground and you lose; rise to his face and you win. The

The next puzzle in this course is barrel counting. You need to have good
eyes and a good memory with this one. You need to count the rows and the
number of barrels in each row, so it requires a bit of math. The first room
should have 12 barrels and the second should have 45, in case you can't
figure it out. The last mini-puzzle is a tricky ordering problem. The
solution should be: the fish finished 3rd, the skeleton outrode, the Goomba
placed 4th, and the Boo placed the same. You are finally rewarded with a Rock
Candy.
PUZZLE COURSE # 2
This challenge begins with a Coin Collecting game. The rules are simple,
just hit the box anywhere from 1-4 times to collect that many coins from a
stash of 21. The goal is to avoid taking the 21st coin. Keep track of how
many you and your opponent take and any combo should pretty much work in your
favour. Generally, you should aim to stop at 20 so that your opponent must
take # 21. The next game is called Magic Buttons. Here's a great map
(thanks AstroBlue), with the buttons numbered as follows:
1
5 2
9 6 3
13 10 7 4
14 11 8
15 12
16
Hit the numbers in order: 2, 8, 9, 15. Another possible combo is 3, 5, 12,
14. The next game is called Ball Solitaire. You kick each ball to clear
them all from the screen with none left standing. Follow this map:
EXIT
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11 12
13 14 15 16
ENTRANCE
Hit the balls in this order (kick/over): 1/2, 9/5, 10/6, 12/11, 14/10,
16/15, 13/14, 3/7, 15/11, 1/2, 4/8, 6/7, 12/8, and 4/3. You are rewarded
with Rock Candy
Rewards: New weapons- Sonic Cymbals (Mallow), Star Gun (Geno), Drill Claw
(Bowser), Super Slap (Princess)- and Rock Candy (an item, not a weapon)

*Secrets & Rumours*
Secrets are things you can actually do in the game that you might not
have known. Rumours are supposed secrets which may or may not be true.
Secrets:
*After saving Rose Town, sleep in the inn for free and Link from Legend
of Zelda is sleeping in the bed next to yours! Press A at his bed to hear
a familiar Zelda tune.
*After getting the Marine Star, go to Mushroom Kingdom’s palace and in the
guest bedroom, Samus (from Metroid series) is sleeping in the bed.
*Supposedly Luigi is hiding behind the button-controlled stairs in Rose Town.
It’s unconfirmed, but there is somebody there. Behind the stairs, press A while
walking around to find him.
*The boss Culex in Monstro Town is modeled after a character in Final Fantasy.
*The RPG battle sequences are all modeled after Final Fantasy.
*The boy in Mushroom Kingdom’s inn is playing with a Game Boy.
*This is the first Mario game where Bowser is an ally!
*The Axem Rangers are a knock-off of the Power Rangers from a popular 1990s
kid’s TV show.
*Mack the Knife is named for a popular Bobby Darin song.
*Toadofsky looks like and is modeled after Mozart.
*The Chained Kong enemy is modeled after Donkey Kong.
*Part of an action challenge at the Six Doors Challenge in Bowser’s Keep is
taken from Jumpman with Mario and Donkey Kong.
*From Mordechai: If you go to the item shop in the mushroom kingdom
and jump up on the back shelf then when you're in the middle mario will
make peace sign then the shopkeeper will scream,"What are you doing!? Get
down from there!"
Rumours:
None that I know of.

e-mail. Please include as many details as necessary. I'll have to check the
secret out for myself first, and if it's legit, I'll post it here with credit

Q: I heard that there is a way to get Princess Toadstool and play with her
early in Super Mario RPG. Is this really true? If so, how is it possible?
-- from Jon
A: I'm glad there are still people who play the old SMRPG game. You're the
first one to e-mail me about this game. After doing a bit of searching on
Google and GameFAQS, as far as I know, you can only obtain her as a partner
after saving her from Booster during the Purple Star adventure.

Q: A long time ago when I was playing as a kid I remember going to a casino
around the lands end area. You have to have the Bright Card to enter
though. I can't remember how to get there. Any info on this would be
helpful. thanks-- from Pierce
A: To access Grate Guy's Casino, you need to activate the location on the
map in Bean Valley. See my Red Star walkthrough for info. Then you
need to get the Bright Card from Knife Guy's juggling game, located at
Booster Tower. See my Games section for info on playing. Once you
have the card, you can enter the casino & play. See my Games section
again for info on the games.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Q: In boosters tower, at the spot where the snifit is shooting bullet bills,
how are you supossed to jump onto the yellow ledge so you can get to the
ledge with the snifit that shoots the bullet bills?-- from Aaron
A: In my walkthrough under The Purple Star section, I have written this:
"The last one who is shooting Bullet Bills at you can be avoided by
hugging the left wall or you can engage battle. It's funny...if you pass
him and then come back, he's looking out the window. Guess it's his break
time now."
I'm not sure if that's the area you're talking about, but if you just time
it right & jump up, you can sidle past the Bullet Bills to the next room.
**FOLLOW-UP**
Q: He needs to do a running jump to reach the ledge, as a normal jump would
land him just shy of getting there. The Pipe Vault has a similar situation,
I believe-- from Ronney
A: Thanks for the additional info!

Q: When are more FAQs going to be listed? -- from nintendo_girl21
A: When more people e-mail me with questions! Sheesh (lol).
