Best Weapons and Items
Here's how to find the best weapons and items in the game:
- The frying pan for the princess: To receive this weapon, beat Nimbus Land and go to Moleville. Walk into the store and go to your left were a funny looking mushroom man should be selling things. In his inventory there should be a frying pan which he is selling. I strongly advise you to buy it.
- The lazy shell for Mario: Retrieve the seed and fertilizer and bring it to the gardener house which is somewhat hidden on a new road. Climb the beanstalk and retrieve the goodies.
- Fertilizer and Seeds: The fertilizer is in nimbus land after you beat it on the far right were the guy was standing walk up it until you find a invisible path way were it is.I think I remembr that the seed is in Bean valley on one of the waterers.
- Juice club cards: These are given to you by the composer if you complete the melody. (The first one is found in the big frog's chart on the lily pad.)
- Super Chomp: Go to the second set of Booster pictures in Booster Tower (the ones by the locked door.) Place them in order and you'll receive a key. Use it to unlock the door and receive a chomp for Bowser. The real order is identical to the first set of pictures you saw when you entered the castle.
Lazy Shell Location
When your at Nimbus Land after you beated Valentina head to the right side of Nimbus Land and head right and you should start walking in the air!
Now keep going until you see the Shy Guy he asks for forgiveness and says he will give you a "Seed" if you let him go and you do so you receive a "Seed".
Now head to Rose Town and head to the back and in the back follow a path leading to a House.Now inside talk to the man and let him use the "Seed" and "Fertalizer" and then a Vine will grow.
Now climb up and jump at the two Treasure Chests there to recieve the Lazy Shell Armor and Weapon.
Easy Experience
Find an area where there is a Star in the box, but SAVE BEFORE YOU HIT THE BOX THAT CONTAINS THE STAR. Once you save, get the star from the box, and start defeating enemies as much as you can with it. Then, fight an enemy and let it kill you--don't save. If you get killed, you'll just return to the spot where you last saved and the points and levels you earned will still be the same. When the enemy kills you, you'll return to the save box where you last saved and the box that contains the star will be restored! Then repeat the steps over and over until your satisfied with your level. It is easier if you have Exp. Booster item equipped. Here's a list of boxes containing a star where they're found:
- 1. Location: Bandit's way
Save on the Save Box in Bandit's way. There's a star in this stage. - 2. Location: Kero Sewers
There is another star on this level. Do the same thing as the first location. - 3. Location: Sea
In the Sea cave, there's another star. This is a good spot right here to use the hint. Where the star is, there are many starfish lying on the floor but don't fight any. Get the star and kill them all with it. - 4. Location: Land's End
In the cave of Land's End, there's a star. This is a great spot to level up. There are many enemies here. When you enter the hole where there are 4 Chows, where there are many Geckits, behind the 4 crates, there is a sorcerer. Talk to him (you need 400 coins) and buy the star from him and you can use the hint here. After you buy the star, if you have 800 coins, buy another star (that is even better) and use the hint. The better star gains even more experience. - 5. Location: Nimbus Land
In the castle of Nimbus Land, there's a short-lasting star. Grab the star and quickly kill the enemies and kill Dodo (the big, fat, black bird). Dodo is worth a good amount ofexperience.
Secret Items
- Attack Scarf: You must perform 30 consecutive Super Jumps in battle. Then talk to the dog in Monstro Town that counts the number of times you jumped.
- Super Jacket: Perform 100 consecutive Super Jumps on an enemy in battle. Then talk to the dog in Monstro Town that counts your jumps.
Fast Level Up
This is so you can get your party to max level BEFORE NIMBUS LAND! First get to lands end and get past the sand pits. Then once in the cave TAKE OFF ALL ITEMS so all your active characters are bare. Then make sure you have 400 coins. If you don't, go up and jump on the ants until you do. Then SAVE the game.
Hop down and get the chest run like crazy destroying everthing in the next rooms. This is much easier if you have exp. Booster from the frog in seaside town.
Once you get to the hole hop down and go behind the boxes talk to the shaman that is hidden there, purchase the Star and get all the lizards except for one and LET THE LAST ENEMY KILL YOU in battle. You will be warped to the save point but still have kept the the EXP.!! Repeat this until all your characters have gotten to at least level 23-25 then once your satitfied save do it one last time exept this time continue on to defeat Belome.
Unlimited Bracers & Energizers
To get free Energizers and Bracers, go to Yoshi Island, ride Yoshi and speak to the pink yoshi by the GOAL line to get 3 Yoshi Cookies (to summon Yoshi).
Next, go to the volcano and battle an Oerlikon (the puple spikey balls), or a Magmus (the shelled brown creature). Use a Yoshi Cookie to summon Yoshi to transform the enemies into items. The Oerlikons give you Energizers, and the magmus give you Bracers.
When you run out of Yoshi Cookies, speak to the pink Yoshi again to get three more.
Getting the Star Egg
The Star Egg...nice little toy, does 150 damage to everything and is NEVER, I repeat, NEVER used up. To get this item, revisit Booster Tower and climb up until you reach Knife Guy. He is juggling many balls. Talk to him and play his game. I believe it's the yellow ball you must find. To get the card to the Grate Guy's Casino you must win Knife Guy's game 12 straight times. If you fail, say after 6 wins he still counts 5 in your favor, so keep going until you have 12 wins. Then, go to Land's End. Down one of thepipes in the area with the save point you should find one of those gold colored Chomps. There is a hidden platform around there, you must jump three times to make it show itself, then go up it and you'll be at Grate Guy's Casino. Talk to Grate Guy over and over and over and...well, you get the point. After a while Grate Guy will challenge you to play Look The Other Way. this time don't worry about winning consecutively, just win 100 times and he'll give you the Star Egg.
Marymore Suite
If you have at least 950 coins, you can go to the suite, and make a profit, in the form of KEroKerocola's. Buying for 150, reselling for 200. You can make a hefty profit. Also, they give you gifts for staying there every so often.
Acquiring Lambs Lure
To acquire the Lambs Lure, you have to use the "Mystery Egg" 10 times in battle, and Princess has to be wearing the Bub "n" Tub ring. You can buy the Mystery Egg where you buy the Frying Pan. The Lambs Lure attempts to make bad guys like Goomba's and Troopa's flee from battle with it's fuzzy charm.However, It won't work on bosses like Belome, Axem Rangers, or Chesters.
Infinite Frog Coins
- Go to lands end. Find the spot where the armored ant pops out of the sand.
- When he pops out jump on his head three times.
- After the third time you will get a frog coin. This can be repeated forever.
Hidden Red Essence
Go to the forest maze. When you get to the first save block, go beyond it a little and jump around the right side of the walkway. Keep jumping until you find the hidden treasure box with a red essence inside.
Better Ending
For a better ending, buy as many fireworks as you can in Moleville, then beat the game. The more fireworks you bought, the better the ending.
8-Bit Mario
Go to Booster's Tower and step behind the curtained area. You will be transformed into 8-Bit Mario from the NES.
Troopa Pin
To get the Troopa Pin, go to the big cliff at "Lands End". There you will find "Sgt. Flutter". After talking to him, climb the cliff by jumping on the troopa shells as quickly as possible. Do it in under (12:00:00) to get the troopa pin.

Fight Culex
To fight Culex of the japanese version of Final Fantasy, buy the fireworks for 500 coins at Moleville, then trade it for a "Shiny Stone" at Moleville. Next go to Monstro Town and go to the "3" door and open it with the Shiny Stone.
9,999 HP hit with Geno
Put Geno in your party then in a battle use Geno Whirl. When the ring goes just out of the screen press "Y". You'll hear an explosion sound and Geno will have done 9,999 points of damage!
Note: This doesn't work on bosses or boss like creatures (eg., Jinx or Box Boy.)
Red Essence
If you have the Dream Pillow, sleep at the inn at Nimbus Land. Toad will appear in your dream and admits he is a monster. When you wake up, Toad is waiting for Mario to wake up, and he runs into a corner. Toad will give you three Red Essences!
Ship Password
The password needed in the ship is PEARLS.
Defeating Smithy
First, after beating the first three bosses before Smithy, go back through the level. If you didn't have the shiny stone, then make sure you have 500 coins, buy the fireworks in Moleville and give them to the girl with the pretend market.
Afterwards, go to Tadpole Pond and buy megalixers from the froggie bar with your Saprano Card or Tenor Card, if you don't have it, go to Toadofsky in thesecond or third turn.
Then, go to Monstro town and to the door with Culex in it. Defeat him with Mario, Geno, and Princess Toadstool. Use Toadstool's Group Hug, Geno's Blast and Mario's Ultra Hammer or his Ultra Jump.
After beating him, you will recieve a Quartz Charm and equip it on Mario for better defense at the boss. Go back to Smithy and make sure you have Mario, Geno, and Princess Toadstool and use the same stuff you used for Culex but, if everyone is almost dead and the next blow will be Smithy's, use a megalixer.
At the first part of Smithy, use Geno's Blast on both Smithy and the monster generator. Concentrate your firepower on the generator (not Smithy) with Mario's Ultra Hammer and use Princess Toadstool's Group Hug to heal the party. On the second half, just use regular attacks on Smithy.
Yoshi Aid
To get the "Yoshi Aid" you first have to reach Smity's Factory. Once you've done this, do the following:
- Go to "Yoster's Isle".
- Go to the red yoshi and get some "Yoshi Cookies"
- Go to the blue yoshi "boshi" and race him until you get a total of 15 yoshi cookies.
- Next go to the baby yoshi, who is now fat, feed him all the cookies to get a Yoshi Aid.
Three Musty Fears' Flags
There are three monsters you find in Monstro Town when you sleep in a bed. They each will hide their own flag somewhere in the world. Here are their locations:
One flag is hidden behind the rose in Rosetown when you first enter. Another flag is hidden underneath Mario's green bed in Mario's Pad. And another is hidden behind the sign in Yo'ster Island.
Yaridovich Mirage Attack
When fighting Yaridovich in "Seaside", he will do a mirage attack (create a duplicate of himself.) Here's a trick to find the real one.
- Put Mallow in your party.
- When Yaridovich does the "mirage attack", use Mallow's "thunderbolt" power on him.
- The double that takes the least damage from the attack is the real Yaridovich.
Honk Honk!
While riding "Moleville Mountain", push either one of the left/right buttons (The ones on the top of the controller). Mario will honk the cart's horn.
Grate Guy's Casino
First go to Bean Valley. When you get to an area with five warp pipes and a shy away, try all the pipes until you find a Golden Chomp. Defeat it and jump up 3 times. A secret plaform will appear. Jump on it and then right. To exit to the map screen where the casino will be go to your left.
You need the "bright card" from knife guy at Booster's Tower.
Infinite Coins
First go to Rose way. Then go to a room with Treasure Boxes then get the items and go out then come back then the Boxes are restored.
The second is at Bowser's Castle. First beat Magikoopa and he will give you a Gold Treasure Box that will never run out.
Defeating Jonathan Jones
To avoid fighting John the shark one-one-one or two-on-one, leave at least one blue bandana guy alive and destroy the rest. This will prevent the one-on-one without letting Mario die. If this guy irritates you, use Toadstool's Sleepy Time on him and keep him under until you're finished with Jonathan Jones.
Samus Cameo
After you beat Belome 2 and before you get to Nimbus Land, you can find Samus Iran of the Metroid Saga. Go to the Mushroom Village from the begining and go inside the castle. Go to the right from the hall into the next little room. Go up to the guest room and look at who is sleeping in the bed!
Link Cameo
Spend a night at the Rose Town Inn and you will find Link from Legend of Zelda for NES sleeping in one of the beds.
