Easy
Coins
Get a Mushroom from
Dry Dry Outpost for three Coins, and two Koopa Leaves from Koopa Village for free. Then, cook a Koopa Leaf and
Mushroom to make a Voltshroom. Next, cook a Voltshroom and A Koopa Leaf to make
a Lifeshroom. You can sell the Lifeshroom for 50 Coins.
Lucky
Day
To get Lucky Day, you
will get three letters in Chapter 2. One, to Goompapa, will result not in a
Star piece, but another letter. This is a chain letter. Keep finding them. The
following are some places for the difficult ones: Fishmael is the person at the
dock. Miss T is the orange Toad near the Dojo. Dane T. is the little red Toad
near the train station. Frost T. is the green-blue Toad at Starborn Valley. Go back to Gommpapa when you deliver Frost
T's to get Lucky Day, which is an upgraded version of Pretty Lucky.
Silver
and gold credits
In order to receive
a silver credit, do all the favors that Koopa Koot asks. If you continue to do
more favors for him, you will eventually receive the gold credit. Credits are
to be used in Toad Town to play games.
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 acorns that revive your FP by 3. However, you must go
somewhere else and then go back to receive another acorn. You can also get
coins, Star Pieces, and a weird doll as well.
Reduce
damage
To reduce the
damage an enemy gives to Mario, do the action command while the enemy is
attacking. For example, if a Goomba jumps on Mario, press A immediately before
it lands. Mario will crouch down with his hat over his head, reducing the
damage. If done correctly, the word "Nice" will appear.
Defeating
enemies or Bosses easily
This trick allows
to you to defeat Bosses easily with the Power Bounce attack and get well over
the occasional 20 or 30 Power Bounces. First, buy and equip the Dodge Master
Badge from Rowf's Badge Shop in Toad Town. It will eventually appear there, if it is
not already present. Then equip the Power Bounce Badge. Fight an enemy (or boss
such as Bowser). You may be able to get up to 80 Bounces. Be sure to have at
least one Power Plus Badge equipped and have Watt in your party -- she can do 5
damage with Electro Dash and can also use Turbo Charge to make Mario stronger.
Free
unlimited hearts
While in toad town,
from the post office head to the right. Eventualy you will see 3 blue
creatures. The one on the left moves its eyes, and the other two dont. Walk in
circles around the one with moving eyes to recive more and more hearts!
Avoid
using FP
If you can pull off
a FP-consuming attack outside of battle (Such as a Spin Jump) and get a First
Strike, you will automatically use that attack in battle without using any FP.
This also works for Mario's partners' attacks.
Defeating
Amzee Dazees
Get about three
paralyzing items (Stop Watch, Dizzy Daze, Sleep Sheep, etc.) and ultra rank
Kooper. First strike the Amazee Dazee with a tornado jump. Switch with Kooper
then use Shell Toss. Next, use one of your paralyzing items. This will keep the
Amazee Dayzee from running away. Then, hit it with your strongest attack until
it is defeated.
Defeating
Bowser
When facing Bowser
(both the first and second times), make sure you have Bombettie in your party.
Also have a Plus Power and a Plus Defense badge. When you enter the battle, use
Bombettie's Bomb (it is only 3 FP and it does good damage). You should do 6
damage in the first battle and 5 during the second. Have Mario heal 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 you have around 40 HP. Your FP can be down --
do not use any items to heal your FP. Make sure you save Star Power, use the
Elder Power when Bowser uses his claw attack (it will poison you), and keep
your health up. Bowser's health during the first battle is only 50, and is 99
during the second.
Defeating
General Guy
Get four or five
Wacka Bumps and six or seven Thunder Rages. When you battle the Xtreme Shy Guys
(Stilt and Stack), do not use anything on them. When you face General Guy,
break the light bulb so that he cannot damage you badly. Then, use the thunder
Rages on him. If you are injured badly, use the Wacka Bumps. Use your hammer
and Watt to break his machine and win.
Defeating
Koopa Bros.
Get rid of all the
enemies and get to the part where the Bullet Bills shoot out of the cannons.
After you defeat the cannons, buy about five or six POW Blocks in Toad Town. You will also need some Mushrooms. Try
your best to upgrade at least one partner (not Goombario) to super-rank. Use
the Bomb about four or five times (your FP must be high) to defeat the Bowser
Costume. Then, start using the POW Blocks, attacking with yourself and your
upgraded partner. They will be defeated eventually, in about seven or eight
turns.
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 turn him to stone. Mario cannot be damaged in this form. Use Goombario's
"Charge" attack to power him up. When Mario returns to 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 The Master. If you time the Action Commands
just correctly, you should do a total of over 100 damage.
Bowser's
Castle: Triple Anti-Guy brawl
In order to do this
trick, you must be in Bowser's Castle where you do the quiz, but you cannot
have already done it previously. For those of you that want a challenge, battle
a 150 HP opponent by going to the second giant Bowser head and getting three
questions wrong. The Bowser door will say "Here is your horrible reward, a
triple Anti-Guy assault!". Make sure to have three or more Ultra-shrooms.
Dry Dry Desert: Rare items
When you enter the Dry Dry Desert, go up one square and defeat all the
enemies there. Then, go to a lone block that looks as if it has been hit. Hit
the block one time to get a Mushroom, ten times for a Super Shroom, and on
hundred times for an Ultra Shroom.
Koopa
Brother's Fortress: Hit points
Go to the fork
between the Koopa Brothers Fortress and Koopa Village. Take the route to the Koopa Brothers
Fortress and find the three blue moles. Run around the mole just behind the
sign. Strange music will play, just as in Super Mario Brothers 3 when you get
the star, and little hearts will shoot out. This only works with the first
mole. Behind the third mole (farthest from the sign) is Honey Syrup, which
restores 5 HP.
Mt.
Rugged: Whacka's Bump
Go in to Mt. Rugged.
About two screens after you find Parakarry, the path will split slightly. Go
down and then left. You will find a dead end and a strange little blue
"mole" named Whacka. He should tell you that it is a nice day or
something similar. Hit him with the hammer and he will say "Ouch don't hit
me" and go underground. A Whacka's Bump will pop out. Whacka's Bump
restores 25 HP and 25 FP. Go to the next screen, then repeat the process. You
should be able to get about seven or eight of them. After this, he will never
return.
Shiver City: Attack FX E Badge
Go to where the
mayor lives. Enter the first house and go up to the top. When you are on the
board, go to the window. A "!" will appear. Press A and the window
will open. Get Parrikary and fly to the next house. Go through the first window
and go down the stairs. Open the chest to find the Attack FX E Badge.
Toad Town: Cheaper Life Shrooms
After opening all
the pipes in Toad Town's sewer and giving the cookbook to Tayce
T., go to Boo Mansion and buy a Super Shroom for 13 coins. Then,
go to Koopa Village and find a Koopa Leaf in one of the bushes.
Return to Toad Town and have Tayce T. use those two
ingredients. You will get a Life Shroom for only 13 coins instead of 40 or 50.
Yoshi Island: Defeating the Boss
Use Sushie for your
partner. Use Tidal Wave to paralyze them when they have flames on their head.
Recipe
trouble
If you are having
trouble making things, experiment. Most people learn the ingredients and are
afraid they cannot get them, such as Strange Leaf, or an item later in the
game. Also, Egg, a vital item in Egg Missile, can be found near the train
station on Mount Rugged. Jammin' Jelly can be found from Silver
Piggies.
Expose
hidden Star Pieces
You can expose the
Star Pieces that are under the hidden panels on the ground by Ground Pounding
near them. However, it is easier to do this once you have the Ultra Hammer. Run
around and hit the ground in various places. If you are getting close, you will
see the panel bounce into the air, and when you hit the spot, you will get the
Star Piece.
Get
into Peachs bedroom
At the start, when
you enter peachs castle, when you find the toad thats gaurding the blue door.
Talk to him a copule of times. No matter how many times he says
"No",keep asking. He'll then give in and let you in. Its funny, but a
secret since you get to go in her room.
Shocked
Luigi
To give Luigi a
real scare, exit Boo's Mansion BEFORE getting Lady Bow. Return to Toad Town (You still have to fight Jr. Troopa, darn
it), jump into your Pipe, and return home. Enter Mario's room and look for a
strange-looking part of the floorboards (Entrance to Luigi's Diary). Go through
and Luigi will be writing in his diary. He sees you, becoming stunned for a
moment, then fleeing. For fun only. Does NOT affect storyline or Luigi's Diary
entries.
Original
NES Mario
In Boo Mansion, go through the door across the hall from
the entance, the one with a large jar in it. Jump in the jar and NES Mario pops
out! Leave the room or jump back in to change back.
Luigi's
Secret Basement
First, get the
Super Boots. Then, go to Mario's house via Toad Town and stomp the ground inside Mario and
Luigi's bedroom. Eventually, you'll see a tile on the floor going up when you
stomp. Stomp on that tile and the floor will bust open Luigi's secret basement,
and inside is his own secret diary!
