*:SubBoss **:MainBoss/StarBoss ***: Mega Boss ****Final Boss
*Hammer Bros: The battle with the Hammer Bros is probably the easiest battle you will have to deal with. But, if you do not know what you are doing it can also be one of the hardest. When you first attack, target the Bro on the left. Use 2 Timed Hit Jumps and he will die. The second one will "Valor Up!" which is a defensive power rise. Attack him with whatever FP you have left for "Jump" then start the physical attacks. Once he is gone you have won. A helpful hint, when the Hammer Brothers use Hammer Time, try using timed hit as a block and it will not do as much as it normally would. Do the same Timed Hit Block when they bash you with their hammers.
*Croco 1: The first battle with Croco can be easily won. Bring PickMeUps and HoneySyrups along when you go into this battle. The first attack you should do is Mario's FireOrb. Crocos tail will catch on fire. Then use Mallow's Thunderbolt which will have the same effect. Then he will start attacking. Its hard to try to block his bombs so just try to survive those. His Running Shove attack can be easily blocked so that attack won't hurt you that much. Try to use Honey Syrups when you run out of FP so you can use Magic to beat Croco quicker. Once you do enough DMG to him he will use a weird mushroom and heal himself, thats when you go crazy with FireOrb. Mario is a lot more useful so have Mallow use the HoneySyrups. When Mallow faints be sure to revive him because Mario cannot take the damage of the bombs. Once you beat him, he will talk, Mallow will punch him and the battle is over. A helpful hint would be to practice pressing Y for FireOrb. The more you press Y the more damage caused.
**Mack: The battle with Mack is your first tough Boss battle and it is fairly difficult. As Mario was the main user in the last 2 battles, Mallow will have more of a role here. Make sure you have leveled him up to Level 4, and rasied his Special Attack once instead of HP or Physical Attack. Make sure you bring lots of PickMeUps and Honey Syrups. Timed Hits and TH Blocking is a priority in this match. Mallow will always be needed to use Thunderbolt so he can destroy the ShyGuys and stem 5 attacks to one. Mack will keep calling them back so always have Thunderbolt ready to use. FireOrb is NOT effective in this match, so when you use Mario to attack, use Jump and your Hammer. Never let Mallow physically attack in this match, use thunderbolt, physically attacking is not worth it because it only does 1 or 2. A helpful hint would be to bring some mushrooms, or level Mallow up until he learns HP Rain because you won't be able to block Macks special attacks, Flame and FlameWall, and they do a bit more damage than normal. Once you defeat Mack you will have the first star of the game. A helpful hint would be to press up and A when Macks uses his special attacks. If you hold this when the attack is ending, sometimes, you will be able to block it.
*Belome 1: The first battle with Belome is a stairway down in difficulty from Mack. The only thing with Belome is he is fond of eating Mallow and turning Mario into a Scarecrow. Once you attack him for the first time he will start attacking you with his tounge. You can easily block it with Timed Hits. After a couple turns he might decide to eat Mallow. After 3 turns he will spit him back out. If he turns you into a scarecrow, you will not be able to physically attack so use Magic. If you are using Mario, Jump is a lot more effective then FireOrb, and Thunderbolt is the only Magic Attack for Mallow you have for now. Bring some Honey Syrups to restore FP, and also some PickMeUps just in case. Belome is pretty easy, just keep using Jump. Don't waste FP on Mallow, and don't use it to much with Mario. Have Mallow defend and heal and let Mario attack. Once your FP goes down, start using your Hammer. Once you beat Belome, have fun at the Midas River Course. A helpful hint would be to be careful when Belome eats Mallow, if Mario faints and Mallow is still inside Belome, you will lose so save somewhere before you fight Belome.
**Bowyer: Bowyer is a pretty tough boss and it takes time to beat him. But you should have a new member on your team, Geno, and he will help you out good. Mallow will be more effective now because he will have the FroggieStick. Mario should also have a new weapon the NokNokShell. Now Bowyer is an interesting boss with 3 different abilities, Physical Attack, Electrical Attack and Button Blocking. When he fires an arrow at you they are easy to block so they shouldn't hurt you that much. There is not much you can do about his magic. The only attack you should be worried about is Static'E. Lightning Orb and Bolt aren't that powerful. Button Blocking is extremely effective. When he blocks "A", only use special attacks. Have Mallow and Geno heal and defend while Mario Jumps. Geno Beam isn't that powerful and Thunderbolt won't be effective against a thunder monster. When Bowyer blocks "Y" go all out with Physical attacks. Since Mallow doesn't do as much use him for healing if you need to. Geno's physical attack does as much as his Special so never use Geno Beam. When he blocks "X", have Mario use Jump, and Geno Physically attack. Have Mallow use HP Rain for healing. Mallow may only be your healer but he will soon have a better much stronger attack. Once you beat Bowyer, Geno will be officially part of your team and you will have the second star of the game.
*Croco 2: The second and final battle with Croco is a lot HARDER than before. He is much faster and has a new attack. Croco still has his running shove and bombs but he also has Chomp which can really hurt you. Running Shove again can be easily blocked. The Bomb cannot so again try to survive it. His Chomp attack needs to be Timed Hit blocked otherwise, it can make you faint or it will do a lot of damage. Once Croco gets down to about 300 HP he will steal all of your items so make sure you have full HP and FP going in to the final part. Use Mallow's Psycopath to see when he is getting close to defeat. Once you beat Croco, you will get all of your coins and items back. A helpful hint is to go to the Moleville store and buy all new weapons. Mario:PunchGlove, Mallow:Cymbals and Geno:FingerShot.
**Punchinello: Punchinello is really a pushover. He isn't strong and he only has 2 attacks of his own. His physical attack can be easily blocked. His Sand Storm is one of the only attacks you should be worried about so buy 8 or 10 Able Juice for this match. Now Punchinello's main ability is to call bombs. They start out as little tiny bombs where Mallow's Thunderbolt is effective so bring some HoneySyrups. Then they upgrade to Rob-Ombs then to MezzoBombs. The Bombs can be easily blocked but they will still do DMG and the bigger they are the more damage they do. A helpful hint would be to try to upgrade Mallow's special when he levels up so Thunderbolt will be more effective. You now have the third star of the game.
*Knife Guy and Grate Guy: By now you should have Bowser on your team to battle with. He will be very helpful and effective. If you got Bowser's Chomp in the secret room, he will be even more powerful. Knife Guy should not be attacked until you have taken care of Grate Guy. Grate Guy is the weakest but has powerful magic. His Meteor Blast can really hurt you. Use your full physical force on him. Do not waste FP on Bowser his Terrorize really sucks. After a few hits on Grate Guy they might come together and become one. Beat Grate Guy as quick as you can. Once you beat Grate Guy, focus your attacks on Knife Guy. By now for Mario you should have SuperJump if not Super Flame. Use SuperJump on KnifeGuy and he will go down in seconds. A helpful hint would be to use Timed Hit Blocking against Knife Guy because his attacks are so easy to block. Grate Guy uses Magic so he won't be easy to block. When he physically attacks thats a different story. Another helpful hint would be to find Mairo's new weapon the Masher in Booster Tower. Use Mario Mallow and Bowser, Geno isn't good here.
*Cake: The battle with the Cake is a pretty hard battle. The first part of the battle you have to blow out the candles on the cake by attacking it. The Cake is all Magic except for a couple of times. It uses strong attacks like Diamond Saw, Blizzard and the newest attack Drain Beam. Also bring Able Juices because he will use Sand Storm a lot. Once you blow out all the candles, attack it once more to destroy it. The next part of the battle is with the Strawberry. It has the exact same attacks as the Cake, but it will be a little more powerful. A helpful hint would be to bring PickMeUps just in case because you will faint a lot. After you beat the Strawberry, Booster will swallow the Strawberry.
*Squid: This battle is pretty easy. If you are strong enough. By now Mallow should have Shocker. Destroy the smaller fatter tentacles first. Timed Hit Blocking is a key here. Just attack the Tentacles. After you go through 2 rounds of fighting tentacles. Then you will fight 1 long tentacle, 1 short fat tentacle and the main squid. The Main Squid knows Drain Beam and Gunk Ball. Its easy, but destroy the tentacles then attack the main Squid. A helpful hint would be to bring Able Juice, because the short fat tentacles will lift you up and after one turn it will have the effects of Sand Storm on your fighter.
**Johnny: Johnny is a pretty easy battle. Destroy the four pirates first then go after Johnny. Let Mario faint, because after Johnny turns red, there will be a fight and Johnny will challenge Mario to a bout 1 on 1 and the Super Hammer isn't the strongest weapon in the world. Johnny's dangerous attacks are Blizzard and Diamond Saw. Bring lots of PickMeUps and Mid Mushrooms you may need them. A helpful hint is that Johnny is also very fond of Mega Drain so try to train a lot before you fight him. Once you beat Johnny you will get Star 5! Then Yaridovich will force it from you by torturing the Elder.
**Yaridovich: Yaridovich might be one of the toughest battles you will come across. Yaridovich is very powerful. He uses Physical and Magical attacks. His Physical attacks can be blocked except Pierce. And his magic revolves around Static'E, Blizzard and Electroshock. He also introduces a new attack called Water Blast. This attack can kill your whole party in 2 blasts so bring along something for healing. Yaridovich is also fond of his ability called Mirage. He will turn into 2 of his body, and they both attack which makes things worse. The fake Yaridovich is the one you do damage in the 150's to 200's. The real one is the one you do less damage too. Get ready for a long battle for Star 5!
*Belome 2: The second and final battle with Belome is easy. He has the exact same abilites except when he eats you, he will spit you back out and make a clone. Never attack the clones just attack Belome. There is nothing hard about this battle. When Belome dies, go for the clones and the battle is over. A helpful hint would be to bring along some Able Juice because he is very fond of turning you into a Scarecrow.
*Smilax: The battle with Smilax is a strange battle. You start out by fighting one Flower. Then Shy Guy pours water and you have to fight 2. Then 3. And finally you have to fight MegaSmilax and 2 smaller ones. The first part is easy but MegaSmilax isn't a pushover. They are fond of fire attacks. The smaller flowers will only use Drain, Flame and an attack that will put you to sleep. The MegaSmilax knows Flame, FlameWall and a devasting attack called Pedal Dance where you will be tuned into a Mushroom. A helpful hint would be to bring some Able Juice and equip one of your fighters with a TrueForm Pin so they can heal the party and not be turned into a Mushroom.
*Dodo: There are 2 chances of battle with Dodo. When Garro turns you into a statue and Dodo comes to polish them, you are supposed to Jump when he tries to peck at you. If you do not jump then Dodo will attack you. He doesn't so anything that bad. His peck and multi-strike can be easily blocked. Flutter Hush only keeps you from Special Attacking which really doesn't matter. The second opportunity for a battle is when Dodo and Valentina are trying to escape from you. If you do not use the Star to kill him just run into him and you will be attacked.
**Valentina: Valentina isn't a tough battle but she knows some good attacks. Dodo will take whoever is in the middle and battle somewhere else so switch Bowser to middle. His Spiked Link is very effective against Dodo. Once you beat Dodo, it will be the 2 remaining characters against Valentina until Dodo comes back. Valentina is pretty easy but her magic is strong. She uses Ice Magic such as Blizzard, Diamond Saw, Water Blast and the newest attack called Solidify which is extremely effective so be careful for that attack because it can hurt you. A helpful hint would be to bring Mallow along because Shocker will be very effective against Valentina.
**Czar Dragon: The Czar Dragon is a powerful fire enemy. His attacks are Blast, Flame and Flame Wall. He also has the ability to bring up little Fireballs, 4 of them, and shoot them at you. The Czar Dragon in Fire Form isn't that tough but when he turns into Zombone his powerful attacks are unleashed. Boulder and Storm are used. He is also fond of Sand Storm and Water Blast. A helpful hint is because the Czar Dragon is fond of many different types of attacks, bring lots of different items into the battle. After you beat the Czar Dragon go into the next room where you will get the 6th Star. Or will you?
**Axem Rangers: When you go for the 6th star they steal. it. This is probably one of the toughest battles you may ever go through. The Axem Rangers: Red, Green, Black, Yellow and Pink are very strong together. The battle will take place upon the Blade. Attack Axem Pink first because she will heal everyone. She knows Mega Recover. Also watch out for her Pedal Dance attack which she will use at random. Once you beat her go for Green. Axem Green is fond of magic and his main attack is Meteor Blast so try to take him out quickly. Once you beat Green, go for Black. By now Red will have Vigored Up! Axem Black uses a physical attack and he will attack twice. He also knows how to throw bombs and the ultimate bomb attack Spirtz Bomb. Once you beat him go for Red. All red does is send a tiny ball of energy at you that can be easily blocked. Once you beat him go for yellow. Yellow is the toughest of them. Use only Magic otherwise Yellow will use Body Slam which will greatly hurt you. Once you beat all of the Axem Rangers, they will get into formation and unleash and ultimate attack on you called the Breaker Beam. They will recharge the beam for 2 turns then unleash it again. Once you beat them, you will get Star 6! A helpful hint would be to bring lots of PickMeUps because you will need them because of Breaker Beam. Also, if you haven't gotten them, sleep on the Dream Cushion in Nimbus Land a lot and try to get a dream about Toad confessing he is a monster. He will give you 3 Red Essensce which will block all attacks from you for 3 turns,Awesome!
*MagiKoopa: Once you get pass the 6 door challenge in Bowser's Keep, you will get to fight MagiKoopa. He is pretty powerful and will create monsters to hide behind. He has some pretty tough attacks but also beware of his monsters. Because of how big he is you can do a lot of damage to him so when you attack him try to do as much damage as possible. A helpful hint would be to try to get the new weapons for Bowser and Mallow which are Drill Claw and Sonic Cymbals. After you beat him he return to normal and help you. Healing and a treasure chest that will never run out of coins.
*Boomer: Once you get into the main throne room, you will have to fight Boomer on top of the chadeliers. He is pretty easy and has an array of attacks. Every now and then he will turn blue and it will be easier to do damage to him. He is very fond of Diamond Sword so bring lots of healing items and PickMeUps. Once you beat him he will start crying then he will vanish. Then the ShyGuy holding the chandelier will take you up to the roof to fight the all powerful Exor!
***Exor: Exor will get second toughest enemy in our rankings. You have to fight Exor, 2 eyes and the Neosquid. Exor doesn't attack but the eyes and neosquid know every powerful attack there is. The array of attacks known by this sword include new attacks such as Corona and every other attack including Blizzard, DiamondSaw, Blast, Drain Beam, Storm, Meteor Blast, Flame Wall, WaterBlast, Aurora Beam and Solidify. Once you attack and stun one of the eyes, Exor will be vulnerable so attack him. If both eyes are working then Exor will be shielded. A helpful hint would be to stun both eyes so you will get to attack and unleash full force on Exor longer then just stunning one eye.
**TickTockClock: This is another tough battle that will take a while. It may even take a couple tries so save before getting into this battle. The clock is exactly like a clock and the timer will go around. When it hits a certain time, something is said and an attack will be made. Going around the clock you will face attacks like Solidify, PedalDance and MegaDrain. He also has a recovering time. Focus your power on the Ding-a-Lings last so you can unleash a full strike on the main clock. A helpful hint would be to equip a TrueFrom Pin and bring bunches of different items like Max Mushrooms, Royal Syrups and PickMeUps. Bracers can be effective too. Ding-A-Lings know Dark Star. Also Fear Roulette which will kill you in 1 hit so be very careful.
**Domino, Cloaker, and Earthlink: This battle shouldn't take that long. First you fight Domino and Cloaker. Beat Domino because she knows all the Magic. Then Cloaker will go back and you will follow him. Cloaker will jump on top of a snake, Earthlink, and Part 2 will begin. You can easily block Cloaker's attacks so focus all power on Earthlink. Once Earthink is destroyed you win. A helpful hint would be to let Cloaker go and not Domino otherwise you will have to face two rounds of magic every turn. Bring lots of healing items because Earthlink's Carni-Kiss can greatly hurt you if you are not leveled up good.
*Clerk: This is a fairly easy battle. Every attack made can and should be timed hit blocked. Destroy the Ax's first with Thunderbolt, Mallow, and then go for the Clerk. This is a very easy battle that you should be able to win.
*Manager: This is the same battle as the Clerk except the Manager is a little bit tougher.
**Director: This is the same battle as the Manager except the Director is a lot touger.
***Cheif Director and Gunyolk: This is the battle right before Smithy that is very difficult. Use your full force on Gunyolk, the Chief Directors attacks can be blocked. The GunYolk knows powerful attacks like Diamond Saw, Flame Wall, Corona, Solidify, Water Blast and also Breaker Beam which it uses often. Once you beat the Machine go for the Chief Director and you have won. A helpful hint would be to bring lots of Bracers and PickMeUps so you can win successfully. Prepare for the Ultimate Battle!!!!
****SMITHY: This is the hardest battle you will encounter. The Final Battle. There is no certain way to beat him but we can give you hints to his attacks and abilities. Form 1 knows two new attacks called Sledge and Meteor Swarm, he also knows some powerful attacks like Blizzard and Meteor Blast. He will also physically attack you. His other ability is to make a Bouncing ShyGuy that will do a powerful attack called Sword Rain. You can also attack the Lava Maker which will mean only Smithy can attack. Once you beat Smithy he will turn into Form 2 and you will fall into another room. Only attack his head not his body. His head will turn into different things. It will turn into a Tank which will shoot Missiles, and Golden Missiles which can kill you. His Sorcerer head knows all the Magic like Solidify, Corona, Boulder and Meteor Swarm. His Hard Head will only use Shredder which scans you in a way. His Status Chest will launch a colorful attack which will either turn you into a scarecrow, a mushroom, poison you or make you shake temporairly dissorienting you. His body every now and then will attack you so be prepared to block. We have no helpful hints here, just be prepared for the longest and toughest battle of the game. A suggestion would be to get everyone to level 30, the highest before you fight. The EXP Booster from the Frog in Seaside Town can help you greatly. Once and if you win you will have the 7th and Final Star and you will have won the game. Good Luck!
