If you defeathim, you will get the Return Postage Badge.

Hint: Defeating Doopliss (Mario form):

Do not defeat Goombella, because a more powerful partnerwill appear. Use Power Blow and Shade Fist on Mario.

Before you battle Grodos, make sure you have 70 to99 Star Points so that you will level up and be recharged forthe fight with Bowser, which happens immediately afterwards.

Hint: Defeating Gloomtail:

You should have a Zap Zip Badge and at least 45 Health,35 Flower Points, and about 30 Badge Power. You should only useStar Power for Sweat Treat. Use a strong party member and keepan even pace with your attacks.

Gloomtail, Hooktails older brother, has 80 HP and 6 ATT power. Use Power Smash (equip many if you have more than one) and useAdmiral Bobbery to bomb him . This should not take long. Note:If you have a Feeling Fine Badge, put it on to avoid Poison .After five to eight turns, Gloomtail will be defeated and youwill get the Star Stone.

Hint: Defeating Hooktail:

Before fighting Hooktail, get the Sound Changing Badgein the jail cell at Hooktail Castle. The sound is a cricket noise,and is Hooktails weakness.

Hint: Defeating Jabbies:

Use the following trick if you have trouble defeatingthe Jabbies in Chapter 2. Use Flurrie as your partner. As soonas the Jabbies come for you, use Flurries ability and blow theminto the wall. This will stun some of them (indicated by a starabove them). The Punies should be able to defeat the Jabbies easilyif this is done correctly.

Hint: Defeating Macho Grubba:

Have the Shrink Stomp and Power Blow badges equipped.Also, have Yoshi as your partner. At the beginning of the battle,use Shrink Stomp to lower the damage from his power-upping. Then,use Yoshi to either appeal or gulp Grubba. Keep hitting Grubbawith Power Blow. If he gets big, Shrink Stomp him again. EarthTremor is also useful.

Hint: Defeating Magnus Von Grapple 2.0:

The crystal-star powered Magus Von Grapple 2.0 is quitea bit more powerful than the robots previous incarnation. Asbefore, the Boss will detach both its fists. Each one is capableof doing 9 damage/ They strike independently and the body continuesto attack as well. Use Vivans Fiery Jinx or Yoshis Stampedeto destroy both fists. When you deplete half of his HP, the bossstarts sucking up members of the audience for its rapid fire machinegun. Tap A
accordingly to guard, but do not just hammeron the button. Save up some star power to use the Sweet Feast.Magnus Von Grapple 2.0 has 70 GP, Attack: 6, and Defense: 2.

Hint: Defeating the Shadow Queen:

Make sure that you have 60 HP, 60 FP, and 30 BP. Whenyou fight her just as Peach use Vivian as your partner. Then.use the spinning jump and Vivians Shade Fist until the ShadowQueen turns into her other form. Then switch to Koops. Use hispower shell to attack the hands and the body. Then, use the PowerSmash badge. Also, when she adds 7 more to her next attack, useeither Koops Shell Shield or Vivians Veil. Make sure both Koopsand Vivians level is at the highest. Repeat this and you shouldbe able to win. Do not forget to heal and make sure you have alot of Life Shrooms.

This Boss has a maximum HP of 150 . In her first form , she hasa max attack of 7 and defense of 0 . Use HP and FP Plus Badgesand Power and Defense Plus Badges to have a better chance . Whenshe reaches 70 to 80 HP, she turns into her regular form . Sheis invincible for four turns, then recovers all health . Then,a very long intermission sequence will begin and she will be attackable. Use emergency Sweet Feasts and Supernovas. Her hands are a forceto be reckoned with; try using Admiral Bobberys Bob-ombast orVivians Fiery Jynx if either is leveled enough . It may requirea few short turns to learn to dodge her attacks . After some steadybattling, you will defeat her.

This trick requires some attacking items, some recovery itemsfor backup, Badges of any kind (Close Call, Mega and Power Rushes,and any others that are powerful and that can make your opponentsmiss more recommended), and Vivian. At the beginning, use up yourattacks because your power will recover. When the Shadow Queenchanges into her true form, use anything except items. After theintermission sequence and Peach giving Mario her power, do thefollowing. If the Shadow Queen has her big hands, when it is Mariosturn use Power Smash or Spring Jump (recommended) on the ShadowQueen, and not the Hands. When it is Vivians turnm use FieryJynx and that will kill the Hands. When the Shadow Queen usesher Dead Hands, have Mario either use Fire Drive, an item thatattacks all enemies, Earth Tremor, or Art Attack. When it is Viviansturn, have her use Fiery Jynx. This will finish off the Dead Hands.When the Shadow Queen boosts her attack and defense by three,have Mario use Power Smash. When it is Vivians turn, have heruse Fiery Jynx unless there are no Hands of some kind, then useShade Fist. When the Shadow Queen does a Super Charge, have Mariouse Power Smash, Spring Jump, an attacking item, or an attackingCrystal Star Ability. When it is Vivians turn, have her use Veil.If Mario has low HP, then use an item or Sweet Feast. If Vivianis low, give her a weaker item such as Super Shroom or give herSweet Feast or Sweet Treat. When the Shadow Queen gets low HP,have Mario use attacking items. Vivian should either attack, oruse an attacking item, unless the Shadow Queen does a Super Charge.If that happens, use Veil. After all that, use Supernova and doa good job of it. Have Vivian attack then finish her off.
mariopokemon.You must have these badges: Charge, Jumpman, All Or Nothing, PowerBounce, and two Power Pluses. You must also have Bobbery withthe move Bombast, lots of Life Shrooms and Jammin Jellys, andenough Badge Power to use all of the badges mentioned. Hit herfirst form with Bobberys Bombast and Marios Power Bounce untilshe changes form. Do not worry about dying, as Life Shrooms willhelp. When she changes form, keep using Bobberys Bombast to blowaway the two hands. In the meantime with Mario, keep using Chargeuntil you are almost dead. This would be a good time to use JamminJellies. Then, use Power Bounce and she should die in one move.You do not relay need Power Pluses, All Or Nothing, or Jumpman,but they make you powerful.
darinslack.You must have over 100 HP, 10 FP, and 6 BP to do this trick. Puton Happy Heart and Hammerman (more if wanted). Also have two ShootingStars, two Life Shrooms, a Super Shroom, and a Boos Sheet. UseVivian for the first form. Use her Shade Fist and Marios Hammer.When you finish battling her first form and she goes into herhard form, swiitch to Bobbery and use his Bomb or Bomb-Obast.Do not use jumping. It is pointless to use hammer when she powersup. Switch to Vivian and use Veil. Use Supernova and Art Attackfrequently. Use Sweet Feast only for emergencies. Do not use Superguard,only regular Guard.

Hint: Defeating Shadow Sirens:

When facing the Shadow Sirens the first time, haveFlurrie as your partner. Also, have Power Blow and the "healthup" badge. When you start, defeat the fat one. Using PowerBlow and Gale Force is recommended. Then, attack Beldam with MariosPower Blow and Vivian with Body Slam.

Hint: Creepy Steeple: Easy Star points:

In the forest before the Creepy Steeple, make sureyou can inflict 20 points worth of damage on one turn (Mario andpartner). When you face a Crayzee Dayzee (on the field), sometimesan Amazee Dayzee appears. It has 20 HP and 20 attack, and inducessleep after the first turn. When defeated, they give about 50Star points. Defeat two for an instant level up.

Super Hammer the Boos when they get on you. The Atomic Boo willgive you some points.

Hint: Glitz Pit: X and d-e-a-d-m-e-a-t:

In the Glitz Pit, Rawk Hawk will enter into the minorleague. Your partner will notice a fake crystal star on his belt.He or she will wonder where the real crystal star is. Soon, scarymusic will play. It is your Mailbox SP. Someone named X will giveyou a star, if you follow Xs instructions. After a few instructions,a man will e-mail you, saying to keep your nose out of thingsor you are d-e-a-d-m-e-a-t. He will then say to stop collectingcrystal stars or you will disappear. First, talk to the juicebar manager to get a Super Hammer. All instructions are obviousand easy until you get a key for the storage room. Use Flurrieto blow the covers off the blocks. The blocks are vulnerable toyour hammer. Break them to find a switch. Pull it and climb thestairs. Fall in the vent after talking to King K and Bandit. Then,go to the right and look in the hole.

Hint: Glitz Pit: Easy Star points:

When you get into the Glitz Pit, fight until you arenear rank 7 or 8. You should now be fighting "the fuzz".Kill the black Fuzzie that has 3 HP then kill the Flower Fuzzy(pinky). Next, keep the green one near 1 HP remaining. He willsplit in two. Kill one of them (always leave one alive). It alsohelps when you have Koops out for a partner. Just leave Marioin front and Koops in back and use his Shell Shield (new attackwhen you upgrade him). Every time that it breaks, put a new oneon. It helps to have some Happy Heart or Happy Flower badges equipped.Keep doing this and you can get 50 Star points in about five minutes.

To get more Star Points, go to the Glitz Pit and battle your wayup and face Rawk Hawk again.

Hint: Glitzville: Defeating the two IronClefts:

In Glitzville (Chapter 3), when you get to rank 11you will face two unbeatable clefts. Without the Yoshi in yourparty, you must run away. However after that match, when you getYoshi, face them again. Use Yoshis Gulp attack to defeat them.

Hint: Marios maze:

When underground in the Thousand Year Door level, youwill reach a part where if you make a wrong move you will end-upat the beginning. There are four doors. Never go back, so thereare really only two to choose from. First, take the one straightacross the room, then again in the next room.

Hint: Pit Of 100 Trials: Easy completion:

You must get more than 600 coins (try to sell badgesthat requires 3 or more BP to get large amounts of coins), twoJamming Jellies and two Ultra Shrooms. You can buy them in thewest side in Rogueport. Convert in paper mode and then fall tothe sewers. Both items cost 200 coins. Then, get two Fire Flowerand two Cake Mix. Next, buy two Life Shroom, four Super Shroom,and four Maple Syrup.

Equip at least ten Power Rush badges (can be bought at the PiantaParlor), one Multibounce badge, and one Power Bounce badge (equippingmore than one Multibounce or Power Bounce raises the FP cost andwill only harm you). Enter the Pit Of 100 Trials. Let the firstenemy (a Gloomba) attack you until your HP is between 1 and 5.Since you are now in danger, your Power Rush badges will activate.For each one you have on, your attack increases by two.

You will fight Bonetail on the 100th floor. For thisfight use Power Bounce. If you do your action commands well enough,you should easily do over 100 damage in your first attack. Ifyour Goombella has Rally Wink, use that to give Mario anotherturn and finish off the final Boss without taking a hit.

Hint: Shadow Palace: Classic Mario reference:

Listen carefully to the music inside the Shadow Palace,you will notice that it is a slower remix of the classic Mario"pipe" theme (like the one in Super Mario Sunshineinside the pipes, or in Super Mario 64 in Hazy Maze Cave).

Hint: Twilight Town: Letter p:

The person who stole Bodys name is Doopliss, but thereis no lower case "p". Go to the creepy steeple outsidethe place. Go down the well. Go as far as you can until you reacha gate-like object. Push it, then use Vivians ability to go underit. Slide down the hill and get the letter "p". Guesshis name and he will run away. Go to where you first met him,then defeat him. Do not bother attacking his partners. Defeathim to get your body back. Get the crystal star to complete Chapter4.

Hint: Twilight Town: Easy Amayzee Dayzee:

Go to the area where you first enter the woods in TwilightTown (where you see your first Crazee Dayzee, at the area justafter you take the warp pipe). The first Crayzee Dayzee is special-- do not kill it. Enter a battle with him. Most likely, therewill not be an Amayzee Dayzee in the battle. If there is not,run away from him and go back towards the warp pipe, leaving thearea. Turn back around after leaving the woods and go back in.The Crazee Dayzee will still be there (if you did not kill him).Enter a battle with him again. Repeat this until you find an AmayzeeDayzee. They are worth about 50 Star points.

To get started, increase your jump power as much as possible,by equipping badges such as Power Plus, P-Up, D-Down, Jumpman,and All or Nothing. It is vital that Marios jump attack in particularis as powerful as possible. Just in case it is not enough by itself,you might may to think of equipping a few Power Plus P and a P-Up,D-Down P badges. The Amayzee Dayzee is quite fond of avoidingthe spotlight, and will often escape after one turn of Mario andhis partner. Another few optionals are Lucky Start, Flower Saver,and Spike Shield (for spiky Goombas). The former will often recoverMarios FP, helping to further diminish the need of any recoveryitems. A good choice of partners is Yoshi, who makes a good back-upin the event that you cannot take out 20 HP by Mario alone. Enterthe Twilight Forest and try to avoid the first Dayzee you encounter.Instead, initiate combat with the Dayzee in the background andtowards the left by jumping or ground stomping. Assuming thereis not an Amayzee Dayzee sparkling in the furthest back row (whichis likely), run away and exit to the left. There is another Dayzeehere, making this an ideal "hunting" location. Basically,go back and forth entering battle and running away if you do notsee a sparkling golden Dayzee. When you finally do, which shouldnot take much time, use Marios Spring Jump on the Amayzee inthe back row and, especially if you have All Or Nothing equipped,make sure to time your action commands correctly. With Ultra Bootsand badges, Mario can do 20 damage (10 for the first jump, and10 on the rebound), instantly killing the Dayzee. If Mario isnot strong enough, use Yoshis Ground Pound, which will hopefullymake up enough damage with any partner badges you have equipped.Finish off any other enemies and reap the benefits. The AmayzeeDayzee gives about 50 Star Points at level 25, and over 30 afterMario levels beyond 30. Basically, if you have already gone throughthe Pit Of 100 Trials (which also features a few Amayzee Dayzees),this is the best method to level up. After you have found anddefeated the two Amayzee Dayzees, you can go after the Dayzeenear the entrance to Twilight Forest. Also, do not forget thatyou can find one grouped with the Hyper Cleft (mean green rock)on the way to Creepy Steeple. There may be an Amayzee Dayzee inthe back when it is encountered. Note: You can make the Dayzeesrespawn by walking two rooms away then going back. For example,use the path to walk toward Creepy Steeple, which is two roomsaway from the closest Dayzee. Repeat the above strategy to levelup quickly.

Hint: Twilight Town: Secret Ultra shroom:

Once you get through the gate, there will be a yellowbox to smash. Smash the box, then jump on top of it. Once on topof it, jump again. You will find another yellow box with a supershroom in it.

Hint: Twilight Trail: Easy Star Points:

After Chapter 8, it is difficult to get Star Points.Go to the Twilight Trail and kill everything there until you findan Amazing Dazy. Then, use everything you have to kill it. Ifyou make a mistake, it will run away or hit you for 20 points.To defeat it, try using Art Attack or Supernova. After defeatingit, you will get about 38 Star Points.

Hint: Twilight Trail: Easy completion:

In Chapter 4, use Madame Flurries Gale Force to makeDayzees, Clefts, and Goombas dizzy. By doing this, you can avoidfighting them.

Hint: X-Naut Fortress : Classic Mario:

To turn yourself into the Mario from Super MarioBros., go to the X-Naut Fortress and go to the room whereyou have to Spring-Jump through the air vent. Spring-Jump up there,then move to the right. Go into paper mode by holding R
and fall through the vent. You will land in the second changingcurtain. When you open it, Mario and all of his partners willbe NES characters. The Mario theme will also play. When you exitthe room, the music will stop and you and your partners will revertback to normal.

Hint: Wario clothes:

To get Warios clothes for Mario, go to the centralarea of Rougeport with 360 Coins. There should be a merchant witha large mustache. He sells something called a Wario Emblem fromtime to time. It is a badge that requires no badge points to wear.

Hint: Luigi clothes:

To get Luigis clothes, go to where you get the sixthcrystal star. From here, do a spring jump up to a pole on theleft side. Do another spring jump to reach a ledge with the LuigiEmblem.

Hint: Waluigi clothes:

Equip both the Luigi Emblem and the Wario Emblem atthe same time. Your clothes will be exactly like Waluigis.

Hint: Change Peachs hairstyle:

Any time that you are playing as Peach, go to the bathroom.The bathroom is the door next to you. You will see a shower witha pink shower curtain. Go behind the shower and an exclamationmark appears. Have Peach take a shower. When she is done, noticethat her hair looks strange. Turn Peach around and her hair willbe in a ponytail. Note: Once you walk out of the bathroom, herhair will return to normal.

Hint: Jump on spiked enemies:

Normally, you will hurt yourself when jumping on spikedenemies. When you get Vivian go into the sewers and have Flurrie.Reveal the hidden pipe and go down it. You will enter a room wherethe floor has spikes going up and down. Change Flurrie to Vivianand go on the floor when the spikes are down. When you think thespikes will come up, press X
and Vivian will take you underthe spikes, then come up when they go down. At the end of theroom is a chest with the badge that lets you jump attack spikedenemies and not get hurt. Unfortunately it does not help you getacross the spiked floor. Repeat the previous technique to getback out.

Hint: Punching men:

When you talk to the old mushroom man, look at thewall with graffiti. Two men will walk out, punch somebody, andrun off.

Hint: Do not read the diary:

In Chapter 6 (when you are on the train), when youfind the ghost in room 004 he will ask you to get his diary andwarn you not to read it. When you get the diary, do not read it.If you do, the game will end and you have to start at the lastsave point.

Hint: Do not become the Shadow Queensservant:

In the last chapter when you are going to fight theShadow Queen, she will ask if you want to become her servant.Answer "No". If you answer "Yes", the gamewill automatically end.

Hint: Star pieces:

In the main area, use Ground Pound in front of thegallows. If done correctly, you will either see a plate form jumpup or a Star piece will come out of the ground.

Go behind any pipe in the game and you will usually find a Starpiece.

Hint: Select Yoshis color:

Start a new game and enter the name of a color fora name. When Yoshi joins your party during the game, he will appearas that color.Time decides Yoshis color, from when you get the egg and to whenyou lose . The times are as follows.

After your ordeal on the train, you will receive an e-mail fromthe real Zip Toad. If you look closely at the image he sends you,you will notice that Jr. Troopa from the original Paper Mariois in it, flying outside the window.

Go on the train after beating Smorg. There will be a little Toadin one of the cabins. Talk to him and he will ask you a questionfrom the first Paper Mario, such as "What did Bowsersteal in the first Paper Mario?"

Hint: Reference to Marios original name:

In the Glitz Pit, when you fight Rawk Hawk for thefirst time and the audience is shouting out your name, one ofthem shouts "Jumpman!! Wait, who?". This is what Mariowas called in the original Donkey Kong arcade game.
