Paper Mario

Hint: Unlimited items from trees:
Once you have received a hammer, use it to hit trees.The tree where you begin gives you an endless supply of acornsthat revive your FP by 3. However, you must go somewhere elseand then go back to receive another acorn. You can also get coins,Star Pieces, and a weird doll as well.

Hint: Colored toads:
The colored toads will run off if you talk to them.

To get past the dark colored toads go to Merlin, and instead oftalking to him across his table, go next to him. He says "What?The colored toads won't let you by?! I'll have a talk with them.".Go up to them and they will leave.

Hint: Answers to the Bowser questions:
The answers are as follows: "3", "Red","Red", "24".

Hint: Never-ending hallway pattern:
The pattern to the "Never-ending hallway"is up, down, up, down, down, up.

Hint: Leveling up:
The best way to level up is to find a Bill Blaster.Kill the Bombshell Bills it shoots out. Do this as much as needed.You should not get hurt if you jump on then get a first strike.

When you reach Flower Fields, find an Amayzee Dayzee (the sparklyone located after you pass the yellow flower gate). Equip everybadge available that increases your attack, making sure you havethe Mega Rush badge and the Power Bounce badge, which lets youjump on an enemy until you miss a mark. Jump into the thorns nearbyuntil you have 1 HP remaining, then hit the daisy with your hammerto start the battle. Use the Power Bounce until the daisy faints,which should only be a few bounces because you will do about 8damage the first time, 7 the next, etc. If you fail to kill iton the first turn, it will most likely run. If not, it will do20 damage. After you win, you will get 30 to 40 star points, dependingon your level. To fight the daisy again, leave the flower fieldsand return. You may want to take a life shroom to heal.

You do not need the "power-up" Badges to defeat an AmayzeeDayzee. Equip yourself with the Dizzy Attack Badge. Then, runinto the Dayzee. You now have two entire turns to defeat it. UseParakary's Shell Shot and a Power Smash each turn.

To gain levels faster, go to Flower Fields. Go to the area whereyou need Parakarry to cross over the pit of spikes. Note: Youshould have Lakilester by now. At the end of this area, you willsee two Flower enemies. If they are both white, exit and enterthe area until one of them turns gold. If there is already a goldflower enemy there, then prepare to fight. It has 20 HP, attackpower 20, and defense power 1. Note: There are three things youmust know. You must be extremely skilled with the Action command;you must equip the "Power Bounce" badge; and you shoulduse the spell that the witch casts on you in Dry Dry Outpost.First, use Bombette to initiate a first strike (she does the mostdamage). Then, use Mario's Power Bounce attack. If you got a spellcast on you, there is a chance that your attack power will goup. If the gold flower enemy is still alive, then use Bombette's"Bomb" attack. If it is still alive, then you shouldhope that it attacks you. If it does not attack, it will run away.Beware; it does 20 damage and may put you to sleep. If it diesafter using Bombette's Bomb attack, you will get a large numberof star points. The number of star points depends on your currentlevel. For example, if you are at level 20, you will get 40 starpoints. If your level is 21, you will get 39 star points, etc.It also depends on if you got the spell cast on you. There isa chance it will double your star points. Also, if it runs away,exit and enter the area until it returns. If you kill it, exitFlower Fields and repeat the entire procedure.

Hint: Ultra Leveling party members:
Once you visit Raphael the Raven, you can "Ultra-Level"your party members. The best one to "Ultra-Level" isParakarry, because he learns "Air Raid," which uses6 (or 8) FP, and deals about 6 damage to each enemy (if you getto 100% on the "Press Left repeatedly" meter).

Hint: Chet Rippo:
Do not trust Chet Rippo -- he will raise one stat anddrop the other two. It is a complete waste of 39 coins.

Note: Chet Rippo does cheat you with the first two, but not thelast one. If you chose BP, you will basically gain a level. Youcan also regain the health and FP you lost later. It may be worthdoing it at least once.

Hint: Reduce damage:
To reduce the damage an enemy gives to Mario, do theaction command while the enemy is attacking. For example, if aGoomba jumps on Mario, press A immediately before it lands.Mario will crouch down with his hat over his head, reducing thedamage. If done correctly, the word "Nice" will appear.

Hint: More coins:
To get more coins from fighting, wear the Pay-Off Badge.When you are in a battle and get hurt a lot, you will get morecoins.

Go to any area with a fire bar (a rotating bar of fire). The volcanois the best area for this trick. Jump over it when passes, andit will spin faster. Soon, it will disappear and leave coins behind.

Hop on the Toad Town train to dry Dry Outpost. If you start toclimb Mt. Rugged, you will find the mole, Wacka. Hit him on thehead to get Wacka's Bump. Grab this and continue to go off thescreen. Return and repeat to get more. It will sell for 64 or50 coins. Note: You may want to use the Spin Attack Badge as ithelps with the moles. Note: This only works for a short time andwill eventually kill Wacka.

Get a rare item (for example, Wacka's Bump, Jammin Jelly or UltraShroom) and go to Tayce T. and let her cook it. You will get morethan the usual amount of coins for it.

Get an Ultra Shroom and a Jammin Jelly. Give them to Tacye T.and she will give you a Jelly Ultra. Sell it at Boo's Mansionto get 200 coins.

Get rid of all of your items, then buy ten Dusty Hammers at DryDry Outpost. Sell them at Boo's Mansion. The Dusty Hammers willcost 20 coins, will be sold for 40 coins.

Buy as many Volt Shrooms as you can afford. Bring them all toTayce T. to turn them into Hot Shrooms. Bring the Hot Shroomsto the store and sell them. Continue this for more money.

Hint: Defeating enemies or Bosses easily:
This trick allows to you to defeat Bosses easily withthe Power Bounce attack and get well over the occasional 20 or30 Power Bounces. First, buy and equip the Dodge Master Badgefrom Rowf's Badge Shop in Toad Town. It will eventually appearthere, if it is not already present. Then equip the Power BounceBadge. Fight an enemy (or boss such as Bowser). You may be ableto get up to 80 Bounces. Be sure to have at least one Power PlusBadge equipped and have Watt in your party -- she can do 5 damagewith Electro Dash and can also use Turbo Charge to make Mariostronger.

To defeat Bosses easily, you must have Goombario up to at leastSuper rank. Fight any tough enemy or Boss, have Mario attack ordo some other task, and have Goombario use his Charge ability.Use Goombario's charge ability five to eight times in a row, thendo a Headbonk or Multi-bonk to do big damage. Most Bosses willgo down quickly.

To defeat Lava Piranha, Huff n Puff, and Crystal King easily,get Goombario to Ultra Rank. Then go to one of those Bosses. Keepcharging Goombario, and eventually his attack power will get upto fifteen. Use Multibonk as much as possible and they will bedefeated easily. Note: When you are fighting Lava Piranha whenyou do Multibonk, make sure there is no fire on its head. As soonas it has fire on its head, switch to Sushie.

Hint: Defeating Amzee Dazees:
Get about three paralyzing items (Stop Watch, DizzyDaze, Sleep Sheep, etc.) and ultra rank Kooper. First strike theAmazee Dazee with a tornado jump. Switch with Kooper then useShell Toss. Next, use one of your paralyzing items. This willkeep the Amazee Dayzee from running away. Then, hit it with yourstrongest attack until it is defeated.

Hint: Defeating Anti-Guy:
Have a Lemon Candy when you talk to the Anti-Guy inthe Shy Guy's toybox. He loves Lemon Candy and will trade thetreasure he is guarding for the candy.

Hint: Defeating Bowser:
When facing Bowser (both the first and second times),make sure you have Bombettie in your party. Also have a Plus Powerand a Plus Defense badge. When you enter the battle, use Bombettie'sBomb (it is only 3 FP and it does good damage). You should do6 damage in the first battle and 5 during the second. Have Marioheal himself and use moves that do not use FP. In the second battle,the Stars help you at the start. When you enter, make sure youhave around 40 HP. Your FP can be down -- do not use any itemsto heal your FP. Make sure you save Star Power, use the ElderPower when Bowser uses his claw attack (it will poison you), andkeep your health up. Bowser's health during the first battle isonly 50, and is 99 during the second.

Get to about level 23, have the Deep Focus , +5 FP, +5 HP, andthe Power Jump Badge. Put on the Plus Defense and Plus Power Badge.Your Hp should be around 40, FP 40, and BP 30. When you fighthim at Bowser Castle, have Watt or Boo at Ultra level. Keep beatinghim and when he uses the Star Rod, Mario must use the Star Beam.The Master is harder than Bowser. When you finish, heal and savethe game.Go all the way up. Keep going straight and go on theplatform. When you fight Bowser again, he has a power-up usingMagic Koopa Machine. Use the same tactics. Later on he will usethe Star Rod, and when you use the Star Beam it will not work.Then, you will fight Magic Koopa with Twink the Little Star. Everytime you reach Peach's turn, use Focus and keep using it -- youcannot lose this battle. After defeating Koopa, a speech willstart. You will get the Star Beam upgraded to a Peach Beam. FaceBowser again, and use the Peach Beam to defeat him. Note: He willrecover 30 HP with the Star Rod.

If you are at a low level when you battle Bowser, use the followingsteps. Make Sure you have 2 Deluxe Feasts. To get them, cook WankaBumps with Strange Leaves). Also have 3 Life Shrooms and 5 RepelGels. Use at least these badges: Mega Jump, Power Bounce, HP Plus,FP Plus, Power Rush, Lucky Day, Deep Focus, and Flower Saver.Use the partner named Watt, as he can penetrate defense. Duringthe battle, start Mario's turn by using the Repel Gel, and thenuse Watt's Turbo Charge. Keep using Mega Jump. or if you can,keep pressing A at the correct time, every time use PowerBounce. Bowser has an attack power of 12, Defense of 1, and HPof 99 so this fight can last a long time. Use Repel Gels wheneveryou can. When Bowser uses his Star Rod use the Peach Beam.

You need to hit Bowser 11 times, and you got to hit him with 9damage.

Although it is nearly impossible, with this hint you can beatBowser in one turn. All you need are three badges and extremelygood timing. Use the badges Power Bounce, Spike Shield, and FireShield.

Use the following trick to only lose 7 HP when the Bowser useshis flame breath. Use the Fire Shield and any defensive Shiedon Mario. When you fight Bowser and he uses his fire, block itand Mario will only get 7 points of damage.

Use the following trick to defeat the second Bowser. Before theStar Spirits help you, you must have Bombette. Make sure you arewearing the D-down Jump Badge. First, have Mario use the D-downJump. Next, use Bombette's Bomb (the Bomb, Power Bomb and MegaBomb all do the same amount of damage). Use those two attacksagain. Bowser will power himself up with his Star Rod. Beforeyou use your Star Beam, switch to Watt. Then, use the Star Beam.This will not hurt your health because Peach heals you, but notBowser. Next, use Watt's Turbo Charge and Mario's D-down Jumpand make sure it counts. You will do 10 damage. After Bowser attacksyou, use Watt's Electric Dash, which will do 5 damage if donecorrectly. Keep using this combination. When Bowser gets downin the 20s, he will heal himself by 30. Do not give up. Keep tryingand you will defeat him and complete the game.

To defeat the second Bowser, make sure you have lots of FP (FlowerPower) and are wearing the Mega Jump badge found in Shiver Mountain.Also, have Watt during the battle. Use Mario's Mega Jump on Bowserthe entire time. Do not use any Star Power until your HP (HeartPower) is at 10 or less, in which case you would use Smooch. Alsouse Watt's Electro Dash the entire time.

To defeat Bowser easily, wear all the Power and Defense Badgesyou have. Also, put on the Damage Dodge badges, All Or Nothing,and the Dodge Master and Power Bounce badges. Make sure you alsohave the most powerful Jump Charge badge available. After thefirst battle with Bowser on top of Magikoopa's machine, Peachwill come to your aid and give the stars a boost. After that,another battle will ensue. Charge up as much as possible, cancelingout Bowser's Star Rod when necessary. After about four charges(you may be able to get more, but watch out for Bowser's Shockwaveattack as it cancels all modifiers), use the Power Bounce attackand jump on him as often as possible. If you are skilled withtimed attacks, you should be able to defeat him after your attack.If not, it will drop him down to about 20 HP. You should be ableto finish him off from there.

Hint: Defeating Crystal King:
You need Fire Flower(s), Watt, the Power Plus Badge,and a Stone Cap. Use Mario's Jump. Use Watt to attack the CrystalKing. When he clones himself, use the Fire Flower. It will burnhim. When your HP is low, use the Stone Cap. Then, use Watt tozap away.

The Crystal King cannot be hurt with ice, so do not use thingslike the Snowman Doll on him. Fill up with a lot of coins. Youwill need at least ten Fire Flowers and Kooper will need to knowFire Shell. Get an extra Fire Flower and an Egg from Mt. Rugged,take them both to Tayce T. and you will get an Egg Bomb.

Use Watt and his electrical attack to paralyze Crystal King. Then,do Mega Smash to do a lot of damage. Next, use Watt to attackfor 5 or 4 or 3 (whatever upgrade he is at). When he becomes neutral,paralyze him again and keep using Mega Smash and similar attacks.

Hint: Defeating General Guy:
Get four or five Wacka Bumps and six or seven ThunderRages. When you battle the Xtreme Shy Guys (Stilt and Stack),do not use anything on them. When you face General Guy, breakthe light bulb so that he cannot damage you badly. Then, use thethunder Rages on him. If you are injured badly, use the WackaBumps. Use your hammer and Watt to break his machine and win.

Hint: Defeating Huff n' Puff:
First, use the "Chill Out" power from Muskular,the Start Spirit. This will turn the Ruff Puff's power to 0; whenthey drain Mario's HP, it will be ineffective. Use Lakilester'sSpiny Storm to clear out the Ruff Puff's (but one or two willform). Hit Huff n' Puff with your strongest attacks and repeatthe Chill Out and Spiny Storm.

Hint: Defeating Kent C. Koopa:
Use star power "Lulabye", then use Goombario'scharge about seven times. Then, Headbonk or Multibonk. While heis asleep, use the D-Down Pound attack. Repeat this if he wakesup.

Hint: Defeating Koopa Bros.:
Get rid of all the enemies and get to the part wherethe Bullet Bills shoot out of the cannons. After you defeat thecannons, buy about five or six POW Blocks in Toad Town. You willalso need some Mushrooms. Try your best to upgrade at least onepartner (not Goombario) to super-rank. Use the Bomb about fouror five times (your FP must be high) to defeat the Bowser Costume.Then, start using the POW Blocks, attacking with yourself andyour upgraded partner. They will be defeated eventually, in aboutseven or eight turns.

Hint: Defeating: Lava Piranha:
Get the Ice Power Badge, then buy seven or eight SnomanDolls. Get some Wacka Bumps or make The Deluxe Feast.,Ultra RankSushi. Use the Squirt on Lava Piranha and the Snoman Dolls. Ifyou get a chance to attack, use your jump

For Lava Piranha's first form, start the battle with Chill Outto reduce the Lava Buds' attack to 1, and the Lava Piranha's attackto 3. Go for the Lava Buds first, then strike the Lava Pirahana.To weaken the Lava Buds, use Star Storm. Keep hitting it withyour strongest attacks, but save FP for the next form.

For Lava Piranha's second form, make sure you have Sushie upgradedto Ultra-Rank and have a few Syrups for regaining lost FP. Whenthe Lava Pirahana is on fire, immediately use Sushie's Tidal Wave.This will cause a heavy amount of damage and will render it powerlessfor two turns. Do not use attacks that cost a lot of FP, as youwill need it for Tidal Wave. Refill with the Syrups if necessary.

Hint: Defeating The Master:
This trick should work for all of The Master's stages.You will need at least four or five Stone Caps in your inventory,and Goombario at Ultra Rank. Have Mario use a Stone Cap to turnhim to stone. Mario cannot be damaged in this form. Use Goombario's"Charge" attack to power him up. When Mario returnsto normal, use another Stone Cap to turn him into stone form again.Keep powering-up Goombario until his power has risen by at least+20. Then, use Goombario's "Multibonk" attack on TheMaster. If you time the Action Commands just correctly, you shoulddo a total of over 100 damage.

Hint: Defeating Tubba Blubba:
Get two or three Thunder Bolts. When you get the MagicKey and get chased out of the Palace. go to the Heart Box nearthe Boo Mansion. Come out to the Wind Mill. Do not attempt toattack the Hyper Goombas. When you fight the Heart, use your powerbounce repeatedly. When he turns a different color, use Bow'sOutta Sight so it will not hit you. When you defeat it, get outof the wind mill. You will find Tubba Blubba. Attack with thethunder bolts you bought to win.

Buy one Life Shroom and five Mysteries from Boo's Mansion. Thiswill cost 55 coins. Tubba Blubba's heart has 50 HP. On your firstturn, use Power Jump. Try to use the Action command. Then, useBowser's Slap Attack to do up to 4 damage. If TubbaBlubba's heartcharges up, either use a Mystery or Power Jump on the heart andwith Bowser use Out Of Sight. No damage will be dealt to you.Then, use Refresh to heal 5 HP and 5 FP. Tubba Blubba's heartwill probably attack with a normal move, and you will only loseabout six HP. Keep using Mysteries until you run out, then keepusing Power Jump. Refresh when needed. You might not need yourLife Shroom; sell it at Koopa Village for 30 coins or save itfor later use. Whenever the heart charges up, use Out Of Sight.Once you defeat Tubba Blubba's heart, you have to beat Tubba Blubba.He only has 10 HP. Keep using Power Jump or Jump And Slap withBowser. It does four damage done correctly.

Hint: Defeating TutanKoopa:
Buy about six or seven Thunder Rages and get two orthree Whaka Bumps (at Mt. Rugged). When you face him, use allthe Thunder Rages on him. Do not worry about killing Chain Chomp.Then, use an Upgraded Parter and pound on him if all the Ragesrun out. You will eventually defeat him.
