A guide how destroy the Dark Star Core and beat the game!
1. On your turn keep attacking the APPENDAGES until all 3 are gone. The core will drop and automatically break its swirly glasses.
2. Do your most powerful special attack on the Dark Star Core until it dies.
3. As Bowser press X over and over and over again to build up Bowser's punch power and KO Dark Bowser and you beat the game!
Bosses: Midbus - 10,20,50, Durmite - 40, Blizzard Midbus - 30,60,90,120, Dark Bowser - 1000(when KO'ed), Dark Fawful - 300, Tower of Yikk - about 25%, Durmite X - 80
Enemies: Trashure - 20, Magifoofa - 30, Crawful - 60,40, Dark Trashure - 100, Beehoss - 40
Have you ever fought a boss that kept on getting HP? Well, to stop making it get HP, study what's giving it HP and attack it or inhale it. The most annoying is Dark Fawful. He has a helmet that can restore 300 HP! 300! NO KIDDING!
If you really want to buy something but you don't have enough money? Well, do this. But it only works if you've been in Bowser's Flab Zone before.
1.Bring Mario and Luigi to the Challenge Node.
2. Drop down, skip the 2 doors, and go through the pipe.
3. You will be brought to a higher area. Than hit the blue thingy and it will tell you about the 99 block. USE IT WISELY! You can only do this 1 time in the whole game no matter what!
4. To the left of the blue thingy there is a ? block.
5. Hit it and then press A. And just like in the Special Attack Green Shell, press A and B repeatedly untill you get to 99 hits. When you get 99, you can double your coins. After you do, even if you get 99 hits again, you can't double you coin total anymore.
Note: Once I missed..
When you get an 'A' rank in the following challenges the corresponding Cholesteroad item will become available.

Unlock Master Wear:

If you've beaten the game or at least have gotten up to Peach's Castle, have Bowser fight Dark Trashures. When they open up, inhale. For even more coins, press X and Y instead of just X. Sometimes when I do this I get over 500 coins!
Hope I helped!

You know how it shows that there are 5 ranks? I got suspisious when it said star rank OR HIGHER in the place to the top right of the mall area. I got to level 40, and I obtained a new rank. The rainbow rank. When Mario & Luigi are at rainbow rank, you get the Excellent!! Badge. If you equip it, it refills whatever you have it set to completely.
With the bosses, your probably wondering how long you have got to go before they die, right? Well, I'll tell you a secret. Keep an eye out for twhen the bosses start to use more attacks in one turn, the attacks get stronger or harder to dodge and when they LOOK like they're getting weak. Thats the 4 main ways to tell your wearing down a boss.

To start collecting pieces, go up to the castle from Toad Town, go up 1 room, maybe 2 I forgot, but if you see 2 stairs of stone turn and go up them, and then in the next room, head down, and you will find a set of 4 stairs made of stone. After you go up them you will be in a tower. Careful. There could of been a Mechawful in there! If you run into it fight it and then head left into a doorway. You will be on a raised stone platform. Hit the blue shell block and then hammer Mario with the B button to make him fly a little bit and then return like a boomerang. But careful! If you hit the A button you have to go back and re-obtain the shell. Press the B button to make Mario in the shell fly off and hit a block with an A on it. Once you hit it you will get 7 Attack Pieces. Jackpot! Then the..

You just have to go talk to toad, and then you have to go through the yellow tube (the one that isn't blocked by signs) and find that thing in the ground that shoots upward. Use it as a whirlwind and go up into the clouds. There you will find three patroopas and they will teach you how to use a shell. Then go back to toad town caves to talk to toad. There will be a shell block, so hit it. By using Luigi's hammer you can turn Mario into a shell and hit him to turn the lever.

If you want to get a new Bro.'s move, go to Bowser's castle as Mario and Luigi. You must have gotten the abiblity to suck up air and fly. Go to his castle and go to the right of the main loby. Follow the path untill you get to a place with 3 buttons. Hit the buttons in this order. Square: twice, Circle: once Triangle: Three times, then hit the button on the door. In the next room, MAKE SURE YOU ARE AT FULL HEALTH! Hit the red button at the left, and FACE THEM SHROOBS.

Before you start a Bowser battle, switch as Mario and Luigi and go to either the Airway, Pump works, Nerve Cluster, Trash Pit, Energy Hold, or Flab Zone. (other body parts will have no scenery) Then switch back to Bowser and start a battle that involves Mario and Luigi fighting too. I.e. Choomba and Coalbit, Naplock and Alarm Bob-omb (Bowser bosses count too, except the final boss) inhale the small monsters or monsters floating on the top screen when you can. When the camera zooms in on Bowser's body it will show the inside of the body part you selected as Mario and Luigi and you fight the inhaled monsters there.
When you inhail blittys and you cant get them just put your thum and index finger togetherand rub them with the ponit on y to make it esayier to inhail bilitys.
As soon as you get out of the Energy Hold, or right before Bowser sees Private Goomp after slamming the ! Switch, switch to Mario and Luigi then head to Dr. Toadley's office, talk to Dr. Toadley then he'll say "A second Star Cure... Hmmm... No sign...
You need the excellent badge,pow badge, and falling star. The falling-star is for the mini dark stars and use you're badges and powerful attack you can think of
After the first giant Bowser battle when you get to Bowser Path, do NOT rescue the Shy Guys in the cage at the bottom right-hand corner. Then continue in the game like you normally would without the Shy Guys as minions until you reach the point where Mario and Luigi are outside of Bowser's body and head to Dr. Toadley's office. Then after the conversation, the battle with Bowser will start. Then he can't use the Shy Guy attack on Mario and Luigi, making the battle easier.
Unlike other special attacks, magic mirror can go on forever if you can manage the increased speed. This can be very helpful for killing some enemies fast if you have good coordination. Try to really focus on the mirror.
If you manage to get into Bowsers Castle, go to the cold storage area. With a secret code (which I currently do not know) you can open it and battle 3 Shroobs from Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time.
As soon as you get out of the Energy Hold, or right before Bowser sees Private Goomp after slamming the ! Switch, switch to Mario and Luigi then head to Dr. Toadley's office, talk to Dr. Toadley then he'll say "A second Star Cure... Hmmm... No sign...

What do I do when Bowser drinks from the water fountain and the pump works flash? |
Mario and Luigi will continue there adventure at the water works..... Read the text.... It'll help more |
Anyone have any strategies for the nose deck challenge? |
I don't really have a strategy to be honest. I just move the barrels around a lot. I guess trying to line up two rows of barrels that are the same color is somewhat a strategy because I have 2 chances to at least line up one of the rows with the right color barrel. That's about it though. ^_^; |
Waking up bowser again. How to wake up bowser again after he is shocked .. |
You don't wake him. You have to exit Bowser's body and play as Mario and Luigi and after a certain part, you'll have to fight Bowser, then you'll need him for another part but he'll already be awake. Hope this helped a bit. |
Why can't I pick up the completed star in energy hold? |
If it didn't come down then try walking out of the room a few times and see if t drops it, if not then go get another piece of the star from one of your previous ventures through and see if that works. Also try checking your inventory to see if you already picked up the piece, if not then you might have to restart, sorry. |
How does bowser beat the train |
When you're big Bowser is when you're fighting the train, basically what you do is breath fire on the train. When the little blower guy in the corner shows up is when you blow on the microphone for about as long as it says whatever rank you got like ok good, excellent. When the train is in the grass monster thing, obviously breath fire, but when it;s attack comes to heal it and put out the flames aim for the clouds to shoot down which you just tap the screen, sparingly of course, to hit the clouds. When the little beavers are holding the bombs in front of you try to hit the one in front of you when the other 3 align so the train takes more damage. Those are how I beat the train, just give it try, it works in all honesty. Hope this helped a bit. |
