======================================================================
---------------------- 1)- Getting started ---------------------------
======================================================================
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
======================================================================
1.1)- Game mechanics
======================================================================
Super Paper Mario is one of the strangest games I've ever played.
To start, it's a platformer with RPG elements. What that means is at
heart it is a platformer (2D sidescroller. Think original Mario Bros
or Metroid), but with some RPG stuff thrown in (leveling up, using
items, special upgrade items).
======================== 1.1.1)- Your HUD ============================
The HUD is your Heads Up Display. It shows how much health you have
left, your total score, and your total coins. In SPM, your HUD is very
simple.
Top left of screen ------------------------------------- Top right
1: HP 00/00 2: Score: 0000000000000 3: Coins: 0000
4: 3-D timer bar
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bottom left -------------------------------------------- Bottom right
1: HP ratio. This shows how much HP you have left/How much you have
total. If the number on the left hits 0, its game over.
2: Overall score. This shows how many points you've earned total. When
this hits a certain number, you will level up.
3: Total coins. Coins = money. Without coins, you cant buy anything.
4: 3-D timer bar. This only appears when you're in 3-D mode. It shows
how much time you have left in 3-D mode. (see section 1.1.3 for more
details).
======================== 1.1.2 Leveling up ===========================
Leveling up is done by obtaining a certain score. The score needed to
level up can be viewed in the pause menu.
When you level up, the game will pause briefly and a white screen will
come up saying "Level up!" and your HP will be fully restored.
Every even numbered level your HP will increase by 5, every odd
numbered level your attack will increase by 1.
Everyone shares the same HP. Everyone except Bowser shares the same
Attack points.
==================== 1.1.3)- 2-D versus 3-D ==========================
One of the main aspects of this game is you can "flip" between 2-D and
3-D. This gives you a whole new perspective of the game board.
When in 2-D, the camera looks directly on the stage and Mario,
creating a 2-D perspective.
When you flip into 3-D however, the Camera shifts to behind Mario,
adding depth (the third dimension) to objects.
I'll try to explain this as best I can.
When looking at an object in a 2-D perspective, you might see this:
_ _ _ _ _
| |
---------
| |
---------
Two blocks stacked on top of each other to form a solid wall.
However, if you look at the same object in 3-D, you might see this:
_
| |
-
_
| |
-
The two blocks are still on top of each other, but you see that they
are not stacked, they are off set, creating a passage for you to go
through.
..... hopefully that makes sense to you @_@
=========== 1.1.4)- Obtaining and using the third dimension ==========
Ok, so you don't actually earn the third dimension itself, but you
learn the ability to see it.
NOTE: ONLY MARIO CAN USE THIS ABLITIY
Very, very early in Chapter 1 you meet a wizard who grants you the
ability. Master this ability quickly, as you will use it profusely
throughout the rest of the game.
Basically, you press the A button and the camera angle shifts.
That's all there is to it. Pressing the A button again will take you
back into 2-D mode.
You cant stay in 3-D mode forever though. When you enter 3-D, a bar
will appear below your health meter. This bar tells you how much time
you have left in 3-D mode.
There are 10 squares on the bar. Each square is worth roughly a
second. If the bar completely drains, it will sap 1 HP, then the bar
will completely refill. If you exit from 3-D mode, the bar will refill
on its own without damaging you.
================== 1.1.5)- The Battle System =========================
The battle system for SPM is just like the battle system for other 2-D
Mario games.
To attack an enemy, you jump on it. Some enemies you cant jump on, so
you have to use an item/Pixl on them instead. Some characters (like
Bowser) have special abilities that allow them alternate battle
methods.
But in short, and for the first chapter or two into the game, to
attack an enemy, jump on it.
======================================================================
1.2)- Controls
======================================================================
In Super Paper Mario, you hold the Wii Remote just like in Excite
Truck: sideways with the buttons facing up and the D-pad in your left
hand.
D-Pad
Up: Action (enter, open, talk, ect.)/ Walk forward (in 3-D)
Down: Duck/guard/walk backward (in 3-D)/special attacks
Left: Walk left
Right: Walk right
A: Flip dimensions
+: Pause game/open menu
1: Use Pixl
2: Jump
Pointer: point the Wii Remote at the screen to use Tippi's find and
tattle abilities (see section 7)-).
Shaking the Wii Remote: after you jump on something, you pause in mid
air for a moment. If you shake the Wii remote, you will earn stylish
points that will be added to your overall score.
======================================================================
1.3)- Pixls
======================================================================
Pixls are essentially a secondary party member with no HP or defense,
and cannot be attacked by an enemy.
Each Pixl has its own unique ability that is activated by pressing 1.
You can only have 1 Pixl on the field at any one time (excluding
Tippi), but you can change Pixls at any time via pause menu.
As you progress through the game you will find more and more Pixls.
Learn to use each Pixls ability to its fullest, and remember to think
outside the box when using them.
See section 7)- for more specific info on Pixls.
======================================================================
1.4)- Party Members
======================================================================
In the game, you will rescue/find 4 familiar faces. Their abilities
and stats are listed here.
You can only have 1 party member on the field at any one time, but you
can switch between them at any time.
Remember that the attack stat levels up every other level, and that
HP is pooled (meaning everyone has the same amount of HP).
Also remember that everyone attacks the same way: by jumping on an
enemies head. Some Pixls can also be used to attack, as well as
Bowser's fire breath.
========================= 1.4.1)- Mario ==============================
Base attack: 1
Defense: 0
Special: can flip between 2-D and 3-D
The hero and main character of the game (duh). You will be using him
more then anyone else do to his flip ability.
======================== 1.4.2)- Princess Peach ======================
Base attack: 1
Defense: 0
Special: after jumping, hold the 2 button to use her umbrella to float
farther. When on the ground, press down on the D-pad to use her
umbrella as a shield, raising her defense to unheard of levels.
You find Peach just after Chapter 1. Use her umbrella to get across
long gaps safely and to defend against tough opponents.
========================== 1.4.3)- Bowser ============================
Base attack: 2 times Mario's attack
Defense: 0
Special: Press down on the D-pad to breath fire.
You find Bowser in Chapter 3.
Bowser doesn't have much in the way of special abilities.
Because of his size and weight he cant jump as high or run as fast as
the other characters.
You're mainly going to use Bowser as an offensive unit. Use him to
clear out rooms full of tough enemies.
You can use his fire breath to light candles.
========================== 1.4.4)- Luigi =============================
Base attack: 1 (times 2 when using super jump)
Defense: 0
Special: hold down on the D-pad then release to perform a super jump.
Luigi joins you in Chapter 6. Luigi is just like Mario minus the flip
ability. You'll use him a lot later in the game for his jumping
ability (especially in the Overthere).
======================================================================
1.5)- Shopping!
======================================================================
Shopping is extremely easy. When you enter a shop, talk to the clerk.
He will give you these options:
Buy
Sell
Store
Pick up
Check points
Buy: buy any item/s they have in stock. All prices are non-negotiable.
Sell: sell items in your inventory. You have to sell the items at just
below what they are worth (items vary).
Store: you are allowed to store up to 32 items. You can reclaim these
items at any shop.
Pick up: withdraw stored items.
Check points: the clerk will tell you how many points you have
accumulated.
For a complete list of shops and their inventory, see section 4)-
================== 1.5.1)- The points system =========================
For every item you buy in a store, you earn 1 point. After you earn a
certain amount of points, you get a free item.
10 points: Cake Mix
20 points: Honey Jar
30 points: Big Egg
50 points: Fresh Pasta Bunch
70 points: Power Steak
100 points: Mega Koopa (card)
150 points: Slimy Shroom
200 points: Golden Leaf
250 points: Ultra Shroom Shake
300 points: Whacka (card)
After you hit 300 points, your next purchase starts out at 1 point and
follows the list again.
======================================================================
1.6)- Cards
======================================================================
The cards system is new to the Paper Mario universe. For a complete
list of cards, see section 6)- catch cards
Cards can be obtained through finding them on the field (this is the
only way rare cards can be found), or by using a catch card or catch
card SP on an enemy. If it succeeds, that enemy will become its own
card.
Cards are always equipped, and never wear out. But what do they do?
Simple: for every card you have of an enemy, your attack does double
damage to said enemy.
======================================================================
1.7)- Revisiting Worlds
======================================================================
In Super Paper Mario, you can revisit worlds you've already been to.
Even after you beat the game, you can continue and revisit old worlds.
To revisit a world, simply go through its door on Flipside Tower. If
you have already obtained the pure heart from that world, you will be
able to choose which level you want to visit (1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4,
ect).
======================================================================
1.8)- Bricks, Pipes, and Doors
======================================================================
Bricks, pipes, and doors are the main field items in SPM.
Doors are simple enough, walk up to them (you do know what a door
looks like right?) and press up on the D-pad to go through them (the
direction on the D-pad my change when in 3-D mode).
Pipes are a staple of the Mario series. They are exactly what
they sound like: a bit green, red, or blue pipe. To use them, jump on
top of them and press down on the D-pad. Not all pipes are useable. Be
careful though, as Piranha plants like to hide in them.
Bricks (or blocks) come in 5 types: Sand, item, brown, dimensional and
multicolored !.
Sand blocks are brown and look like they are made of bricks. They
can be destroyed by Boomer, or by hitting them from underneath (jump
into them). Sand blocks can sometimes hold hidden items.
Item blocks are yellow and are marked by a question mark in the
center. Item blocks are permanent, in that they cannot be destroyed.
All item blocks hold an item of some kind. The item can be retrieved
by jumping into the block from underneath, or by setting Boomer on top
of the block.
Brown blocks cannot be destroyed and do not hold items. They can
be identified by an X that crosses from corner to corner.
Dimensional blocks appear as a yellow block with two arrows
painted on it. They will only appear in one dimension at a time. In
order to see and use a dimensional block, you must be in the same
dimension as it. If the block is in the wrong dimension and cannot be
used, you can flip into its dimension and jump into it to make it
change dimensions.
! blocks are special. They come in all sizes and colors, and
perform a special task when hit. That task can by anything from
opening a door to moving a pipe or making a chest appear. Some !
blocks can only be hit once, and others are permanent.
======================================================================
1.9)- Worlds, Chapters, and Levels.
======================================================================
Throughout this guide, you'll read me say "World" or sometimes
"Chapter" or even "Level."
These all mean the same thing.
World 1-1 is the same as Chapter 1-1 or Level 1-1.
In the game, they are referred to as "Chapters," however most people
refer to them as "Worlds" as a reference to the old 2-D Mario games.
"Level" is just a basic reference to most video games.

2)- Walkthrough
======================================================================
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Select a profile and enter any name you want (you're not referred to
by that name) to get this game started.
Note that the text in this game is actually rather funny, so pay
attention when reading or you might miss a good joke.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
======================================================================
2.0)- Prelude
======================================================================
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-= Flipside Tower =-
After a very lengthy cut scene (answer yes to Merlon's question or
your game will end), you are now in control of Mario in the town of
Flipside. Follow Tippi left and down the elevator.
-= Flipside 2nd floor =-
At the bottom of the elevator, go left and save your game, then follow
Tippi right. Use the elevator.
-= Flipside 3rd floor =-
Follow her left. Walk up to and "use" (up on the D-pad) the pillar.
Go back to the right and use the elevator again. Now use the elevator
to the right of the save block you used earlier.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
======================================================================
2.1)- Chapter 1: Lineland
======================================================================
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
======================================================================
2.1.1)- 1-1: The Adventure Unfolds
======================================================================
Enemies: Goomba, Squiglet, Koopa Troopa, Squig, Sproing-Oing, Piranha
Plant.
Walk left and break/stomp anything in your way. There is a mushroom in
one of the item bricks. When you reach a wall, use the brick to jump
over it. Jump the gap and go down the pipe (stand on top of it and
press down on the d-pad) to find a Shroom Shake. Exit through the
other pipe. Continue left, up the stairs and hit the save block. Enter
the house.
Use Tippi's find ability to reveal a door. Enter to activate a cut
scene. Answer no to his first 2 questions, then yes to his last one.
Use the flip ability to find a Shroom Shake and a Shell Shock. Go back
outside and save again.
Flip outside the house to find 3 item bricks. 2 contain a coin, and
the middle one contains Pal Pills. Walk down the stairs and flip again
to find a row of coins. Finally, walk up to the wall across the gap
and flip to bypass it then enter the door.
Walk to the right and use the first Koopa Troopa to take out all the
enemies there after. Continue until you reach an impassable pipe. Flip
into 3-D and grab the Goomba card behind the pipe.
There is another goomba that is only visible in 3-D mode, as well as
an item brick (Mushroom) over the middle pipe. After you clear the
pipes, flip back into 2-D and hit the item brick for another mushroom.
Jump on top of the bricks to get across the gap. The item brick at the
end of the row contains a coin, and the brick under it contains 5
coins. The next row of item bricks contain a coin, and the one on top
contains a happy flower.
Walk right. An impassable gap? Nonsense! Flip into 3-D to reveal a
path in the background. Once over, squish the goomba return to 2-D.
Jump over the gap and continue right. Enter the door.
Walk right until you hit a mound with a spring next to it. Flip into
3-D and walk behind the mound. The item brick contains pal pills.
Flip back into 2-D. The item brick contains a slow flower, make the
most of it. At the mound, flip into 3-D. There is a large number of
Squiglet's in your way. Time to make the most of that slow flower.
Squish them all for a large amount of points, but watch your 3-D time
bar. After they're all 6 feet under, continue right.
Up the stairs (in 3-D mode there is a Sproing-Oing under the stairs),
over the gap, and through the door.
Watch out for the Piranha Plant's in the pipes ahead. Flip into 3-D to
avoid them all together, or walk up next to their pipe until they
disappear, then jump over it.
The item brick contains a Mega Star (w00t!). Grab it and trash the
rest of the level. Jump up and hit the star box to end the level.
======================================================================
2.1.2)- 1-2: Afoot in the Foothills
======================================================================
Enemies: Koopa Troopa, Paratroopa, Spiny Tromp, Thwomp.
Walk right. The item bricks contain some coins and a mushroom. Jump up
the mountain (don't flip into 3-D or you'll fall off!). Once at the
top, stand in the rd square. Enjoy what happens next.
After landing, flip into 3-D to hit the blue ! block. Climb the new
mountain and hitch another ride. Enter the door.
Up the stairs and over the gap. Flip into 3-D to see 4 item bricks
(all contain coins) that you can use as a step. Hop up to the top.
HOLD IT! Don't hit those item bricks. Flip into 3-D and hit the bricks
behind them first.
To cross the gap, flip into 3-D and jump on top of the item bricks,
then on to the brown bricks. Walk right, then jump on the second set
of brown bricks. Follow them to solid ground. Flip into 3-D to avoid
the Spiny Tromps and make your way up the hill and through the door.
Walk right and enter the pipe. You are now in the background. Walk
left and enter the house. Up the stairs and flip into 3-D. Talk to the
guard. After a few sentences, flip back into 2-D. Answer his question
with "red!." Exit and go back through the pipe and across the bridge.
Save and enter the town. The brick contains a mushroom. Just past the
mushroom brick is some brown bricks with a lady standing next to them.
Flip into 3-D and enter the pipe. Flip into 3-D to make more coins
appear. Exit. Jump up onto the roof to the left. Jump to the right
until you find a Boomboxer card. Return to the where the pipe is.
Enter the door just to the right of the pipe. Flip into 3-D and enter
the pipe that appears. Flip into 3-D again to bypass the Thwomps.
Enter the door. Use Tippi to reveal a door. Enter and open the chest.
You now have your first Pixl Thoreau. Look him up in section 7)- for
more in-depth info. Jump over the chest and use Thoreau to grab the
block. Jump back over and throw the block at the blue ! switch on the
ceiling (jump into the air then throw it, it'll take a few tries). Now
exit and make your way back to town.
Once back on the surface, enter the house to the right. Talk to the
old man inside (Watchitt). (I find it funny to flip into 3-D to find
that you aren't actually standing on his rug.)
Walk right and enter the pipe. Enter the house then up the stairs.
Answer his question any way you want, then go across the bridge and
hit the star block.
======================================================================
2.1.3)- 1-3: The Sands of Yold
======================================================================
Enemies: Squiglet, Squig, Cleft, Boomboxer, Jawbus, Cherbil, 3-D
goomba, Spiked Goomba, Ice Cherbil.
Bosses: O'Chunks.
Walk right. The item bricks contain items in the following order:
coin, coin, coin, speed flower, Zombie Shroom, Mushroom.
Ok, heres a trick: when you come upon a big red tree, jump back and
forth under it (in 2-D mode) 10 times to make a door appear. Me
telling you this allows you to skip ahead in the level faster, as you
would end up back here eventually anyway. If you want to complete the
level as usual, read below.
Picking up where we left off: jump over the sand river and use Thoreau
to kill the Cleft by throwing them at each other (or just jump over
them). There is a Squig card behind the rock ahead (3-D mode to get
it). Use the bricks to get over the sand river.
To kill the Jawbus, flip into 3-D and go around behind it. Flip back
to 2-D and jump on its tail. Enter the door.
Go right and jump over the sand river. Jump over the large rock, then
flip to get behind the wall. Jump over the sand rivers (there is a
Courage Shell behind one of the rocks). You're now at a dead end...
no, no tricks, it really is a dead end. Go back to the other side of
the wall and flip in front of the big rock.
Its got an arrow on top of it! Follow the arrow. Flip back into 2-D
once you're across the gap. Go left and read the statue. Good. Now go
back to the door you entered from. Go left until you find a red tree.
Jump under it 10 times to reveal a door. Enter.
Go right. You could just flip into 3-D and walk across the sand, or
you can jump up on the brown blocks, use the spring, and hitch a ride
across. Once across, one of the item bricks contains a zombie shroom.
Continue right.
Flip into 3-D to reveal a path across the sand. Flip again to get
around the brown bricks. Use the spring and land on the bricks above
the blue ! block. Jump to the right and land on the brown block, then
use Thoreau to activate the block. Hitch a ride over the sand.
The item brick contains a mushroom. Walk right. Save.
Go into 3-D and jump on top of the save block, then jump onto the
brown bricks. Flip back into 2-D and jump from brick to brick until
you find a pipe. Enter the pipe. Flip into 3-D to double the amount of
bricks. All the bricks contain coins, except the final one on the
second row. It contains a Super Shroom. Exit and save the game again.
Enter the door.
Boss fight!
O'Chunks
HP: 20
Attack: 1
Defense: 0
His attacks consist of trying to jump on you. Use Thoreau when he
lands to pick him up and throw him. This will give you a chance to
jump on him. Sometimes he'll try to pick you up and throw you, but its
not that big a deal, just keep your distance.
Enter the next door.
Walk left and ride the platforms until you reach a door. Enter.
Read the statue, the flip into 3-D and read the other side of the
statue. Past the statue there are some coin bricks. Exit through the
door you came in through.
Now go right (there is a zombie shroom behind one of the rocks), and
use the spring to reach some more moving platforms and eventually a
door. Enter.
Walk right until you find a blue platform. Stand on it and
press 1 and - at the same time. Walk up the stairs and hit the star
block.
======================================================================
2.1.4)- 1-4: Monster of the Ruins
======================================================================
Enemies: Squiglet, Buzzy Beetle, Spiky Tromp.
Boss: Fracktail, Frackle.
Down the stairs and through the door.
Go right. Jump over the sand rivers and use 3-D mode to bypass the
fire wheel. Jump up on the item block and jump right. Down the ladder
to find a life shroom. Go back to the item brick. Enter the door to
the right.
Again, use 3-D mode to bypass the flame wheels. Go all the way to the
end of the hall until you find some bricks that are only viewable in
3-D mode. In 3-D mode, jump up and hit them. Now switch back to 2-D.
Cool huh? Enter the door.
Use 3-D mode to bypass the tromps, then climb the ladder and open the
chest. Go back through the door. Use the key to open the locked door
you passed earlier.
Hit the save block. The item blocks aren't worth the hassle, so just
continue right. Use 3-D mode to bypass the Tromps again, and, while
still in 3-D mode, jump on the item brick and use it to reach the
door.
Fall down to the right. Grab and throw an enemy into the switch (if
you're close to leveling up, there are infinite enemies in this room).
Climb back up the ladder and through the door.
Go back to where the sand pit was (with the coin bricks) to find a
key. Jump up and use Thoreau to grab it. Go back to the right and
unlock the door.
Down the stairs and use Tippi to reveal a ledge under the door. Enter
by jumping off one of the stairs.
Walk right into what appears to be a dead end. Flip into 3-D to find a
path off to the right. Follow it and open the chest for a Buzzy Beetle
card. Follow the path back.
This time go left and flip into 3-D underneath the key. This will
reveal a passage in the wall where the key is actually at (quite the
optical illusion eh?). Go back and unlock the door.
Use the spring and continue to the left. Dead end? I think not. 3-D
mode! Climb the ladder. Jump on the blue ! block and be ready to run
to the left. Ready? RUN! Go back and press the red button.
Fall down the hole. Neat huh? Enter the door.
Go into 3-D mode to reveal what order to hit the blocks in (1, 2, 3,
4). Up the stairs. Save and grab the super shroom from the item block.
Enter the pipe.
Pay close attention to this conversation. It is really funny. Note
that when the dragon thinks, the Wii shop channel icon appears in his
eye, and the reference to Zelda II with "I AM ERROR."
Boss fight!
Fracktail
HP: 18
Attack: 1
Defense: 0
Ok, very easy yet complex fight. The antenna is its weak point, but
you cant hit it. When he comes strait on from the back ground, dodge
it by running left or right. When he comes from the right, flip into
3-D, dodge his head, then jump on his tail. You are now on his back.
Use Thoreau to grab the enemies that spawn and throw them at his
antenna. He will eventually throw you off.
Rinse and repeat.
Enter the door and go down the stairs.

2.2.1)- 2-1: Bogging to Merlee's
======================================================================
Since Peach is a new member, you're going to be using her a lot. Keep
her out as your main character, and switch to Mario when I say to flip
into 3-D mode (since peach cant do that).
Enemies: Koopa Troopa, 3-D Koopa Troopa, Squig, Growmeba, Spiked
Goomba, Shlurp, Swooper, Paragoomba.
Walk right. Use Peach's umbrella to jump over the water. 2 of the
bricks ahead contain coins. Jump on top of the second brick that had a
coin and use Peach's umbrella to cross the water.
Flip into 3-D. Hit the dimensional blocks so they appear in the 2-D
plain. Use them to jump up to the green platform. Use Peach to jump
from platform to platform until you reach a pipe. Enter the pipe.
Kill the enemies inside to make a chest appear. Exit, fall down, and
open the door.
The item brick contains pal pills. Walk right and skip the first door
you find. Continue until you find a pipe. Jump on top of it, then jump
to the brown blocks to the right. Hitch a ride up, then use Peach's
umbrella to float to a pipe on the far left.
Use Peach's umbrella to cross the gaps and make your way to a blue !
switch. Hit it, then make your way back to the door that appeared.
The item brick contains a mega star. Grab it and smash your way to the
next door.
The item brick contains a slow flower. I would say make the most of
it, but theres nothing to use it on. Anyway, use that brick to jump
onto the brown blocks, the flip into 3-D to reveal another dimensional
block. Hit it, the flip back. Use it to jump to the green platform
above. Follow it right, then fall off at the end.
The item block contains a happy flower. Continue right and enter the
pipe. Use Tippi's ability to find a blue ! block. She wont make it
visible, so you'll have to try to hit it without seeing it. Enter the
pipe that appears.
There is a Growmeba in this room. Use Thoreau to grab one of its
clones, then throw it at the real one. Open the chest that appears.
It doesn't matter how you answer his questions.
All right, jump over the chest and set Boomer in front of the crack in
the wall. Flip into 3-D and walk through the hole he creates. Open the
chest for a Watchitt card. Exit the pipes.
Go to the right and hop on the brown bricks. set Boomer in front of
the sand bricks and watch. Now jump up to the door. DON'T ENTER. Keep
jumping and enter the 4 (and final) door in the row.
Walk left and flip into 3-D to reveal more sand bricks on the floor.
Set Boomer on them and fall through the hole. Hit the ! block, fall
through the next hole, and enter the door.
Jump down 2 doors. Enter and do the same as above, minus the blue !
block.
Now jump to the door on the far left. Enter the door that isn't shiny.

then jump out and hit the star block.
======================================================================
2.2.2)- 2-2: Tricks, Treats, Traps

This level is pretty fun, what with the traps and all.
Enemies: Gnip, Gnaw.
As soon as the level starts, flip and go behind the bushes to the
left. Get the coins, exit, flip back to 2-D. Walk right until you find
a brown block. Stand on top of it and jump to find a sand block with a
ladder. To get on it, carefully walk to the extreme edge of the brown
block, then jump up. You should slide around the side of the sand
block and then be able to press left or right to land on it.
Climb the ladder and get off on the sand blocks. Use Peach's umbrella
to float to the top of the building. Open the chest for a stop watch.
Flip into 3-D and walk off the front-center of the building. You
should land on a ledge with a chest containing a Cursya card. Jump off
and enter the building.
Once inside, flip into 3-D to avoid the Gnip. Go into 3-D mode at the
top of the stairs and enter the door behind the curtain.
Ok, this is the only door that you are required to go into, but I
recommend you go into all of the. They are a good learning experience.
But, if you don't feel like it, read on:
Save, then walk right. Jump up the stairs and enter the last door.
Walk all the way right and throw the switch. Wait until the spikes are
about to crush you, then flip into 3-D. Dodge the spikes then jump on
top of them. Let them carry you to the top.
Walk left, then use the small platform to jump to the larger one over
head. Use Boomer, then 3-D, the Boomer, then 3-D. Jump up to the next
platform and open the chest. Use a 3-D view to fall back down to the
floor, the exit and save your game again.
Use 3-D mode and some fancy maneuvering to unlock the door behind the
Gnaw. Enter and hit the star block.
======================================================================
2.2.3)- 2-3: Breaking the Bank
======================================================================
This is the shortest level in the game... that is, if you have the
proper codes...
Enemies: none.
Walk right and hit the item block.
Well, wasn't that fun?
Ok, jump up on the item block, then jump to the platform on the right.
Use Peach's umbrella to get to the platform on the left. Flip into 3-D
and walk through the wall. Open the chest. This Pixl is going to save
your life many times over. Get acquainted with it now.
Go back through the wall and jump the gap with Peach. Flip into 3-D
and use Boomer to blow out the sand blocks. Open the chest for a Boo
card. Walk back through the opening and jump up the plaforms. Walk all
the way left and flip to walk through the wall again. Hit the sand
block and climb the ladder.
Use Slim to pass through the electric things. Remember, you have to
remain still and let the things pass over you, then walk to the next
one and do the same.
When you come to a door, use the keypad beside the door and enter the
code 41262816. Now walk all the way back down to where you broke the
vase... thing.
Go to the right and enter the door. Save you game and talk to the
lady. Select "pay off some rupees"

fly buzzing around her.
Boss Fight!
Mimi
HP: doesn't matter.
Attack: 1
Defense: 0
Its weak point is its head.
Attacks:
1) walks on the ground and shoots rupees at you
2) jumps on the ceiling and fires rupees down at you
3) causes a wave of rupees to streak across the field
Defenses for these attacks:
1) dodge, its easy
2) again, just dodge it
3) use Peach's umbrella (down on the D-pad)
when attacking her, use Thoreau to grab a rupee she fired. Throw it at
her to disable her, then jump on her head. If shes on the ground, grab
a rupee and get right under her, then jump up to ensure the rupee hits
its mark.
Every time you jump on her head, she looses a leg and gets slightly
faster (is that even possible?). Once she runs out of legs (in 6
attacks), you win.
Oh, and if you flip into 3-D, you'll see that Mimi is actually a
robot.
======================================================================
2.2.5)- Interlude

ParaGoomba, ParaKoopa, Magikoopa, Bullet Bill, Bill Blaster, Mega
Koopa, Koopa Striker, Back Cursya, Blomeba.
Boss: Bowser
Well this worlds off to an interesting start yes?
Walk up and use the bush. He will give you some hints, but you're
reading a guide, so there's really no need to list them here.
Oh, and Barry wont join your party until after chapter 3.
Past the sand bricks and over the gap, you can either climb the
mountain or flip to bypass it. over the next gap and flip to get
around the pipe. You'll also see a dimensional block; go ahead and hit
it, but you're not going to use it just yet.
Save your game.
Trick: if you want to finish this level quickly (you're going to miss
out on a lot of experience points and items), you can fall into the
gap in between the red pipes. If you do, skip ahead until you see the
words "END TRICK."
Ok, jump over the gap and continue forward until you find a blue
pillar. Flip into 3-D to see its actually stick figure (all of the
pillars are, and they are rather funny). Position yourself to its
right and jump up on its leg, then to its head. Flip back into 2-D and
jump to the right until you find a chest. Open to find a Piranha Plant
card.
Fall down and enter the pipe. Walk left and enter the first pipe.
Destroy the Blomeba and open the chest for a thunder rage. Enter the
pipe that appears. Keep going left to collect an ice storm. Now go
back to the right and enter the original pipe.
Save your game again and jump up on the dimensional block. Use it to
reach the pipe. Hit the sand block to make a ladder appear. Climb the
ladder and enter the door.
Walk to the left and hitch a ride across the gap. Use Boomer to kill
the piranha plant, then use Peach to float from that pipe to the one
on the left. Enter the pipe. Walk to the right until you find your
prize: a Catch card SP, DON'T USE OR THROW THIS CARD AWAY! Now walk
back, enter the pipe, then walk back to the door.
Ready? Hit the item block and grab the star. Demolish the rest of the
level until you reach the next door. Enter and watch.
XD Coolest. Thing. Ever. Try to use the Catch card SP on him. This is
your only chance to get the Mega Koopa card (unless by some off chance
the card dealer is selling one or you plan on getting a lot of points
in the shop). Now Run to the left and grab a star of your own, then
rampage to the right until you find a blue ! block. Hit the block and
read the sign if you want. Walk all the way back left and enter the
door you came through. Again, walk all the way left and enter the
door.
Drop down and save your game, then fall in the gap in between the rid
pipes.
END TRICK. Walk right (one of the blocks contains pal pills). Continue
to the right until you reach a pipe. Kill the plant (with Boomer) and
enter the pipe. Collect your coins and flip into 3-D to find a caught
card SP. Exit through the next pipe. Go right and jump the gap.
Jump up the stairs. Flip into 3-D to find a pipe. Enter then flip into
3-D to find dimensional blocks. Hit them to reach the item blocks.
Exit through the same pipe.
The elevators on the right go down, but you don't want to. Just use
them to jump across to the next platform. The final block contains a
mushroom. Jump across the up elevators, but don't enter the pipe. Flip
into 3-D to find some coins, then go back to the up elevators. Ride
them all the way to the top and jump off to the right.
Enter the first pipe. Collect your coins then flip into s-D to find a
Magikoopa card. Flip back and exit through the same pipe. Enter the
second pipe.
Save your game, then walk right. Continue until you reach a castle and
a cut scene. Jump over the castle; the next castle, jump up in between
bullet bills. Then use Boomer to take out the bullet bill blaster. The
third castle, set Boomer right next to the wall.
Boss fight!

Defense: 0
Attacks:
1) fire breath
2) jumping on you
3) spiky head so you cant jump on him
Defense against attacks:
1)When he is about to breath fire, he jumps away from you. This is
your cue to run.
2) Dodge. This is your chance to attack
3) Don't jump on him. duh.
Strategy: dodge his fire breath. When he tries to jump on you, set
Boomer on the ground and detonate him when Bowser lands.
Bowser is now on your team (yay!). Continue right and hit the star
block.

2.3.2)- 3-2: Bloops Ahoy
======================================================================
Enemies: Cheep Cheep, Blooper, Bittacuda.
Boss: Big Blooper
Underwater. Didn't see that one coming.
There are a lot of coins in both 2-D and 3-D. I cant document them
all, so you're on your own.
When underwater, Bowser is the only character that can damage enemies.
Use his flame breath (this game has excellent physics >_>)
Swim right and switch to Mario. Flip into 3-D to find a passage around
the whirlpool. Continue right until you find a pipe surrounded by
brown blocks. Flip into 3-D, save your game, then enter the pipe.
In this section, tentacles with come out and try to hit you. You cant
damage them, but Bowser's fire breath will grant you safe passage.
Also, watch out for little vortexes. They will try to suck you in and
will transport you back to the start of the level.
When you reach the second tentacle, swim up to find an air pocket.
Jump out of the water, flip to find a cold bar, then enter the pipe.
Go right and enter the door (underwater). Use Bowser to kill everyone
in the room, then open the chest.
With Thudley now in your party, swim left over top of the pole beside
the door. Press 1 to pound the post and open the door. Enter.
Swim/walk left back out the next door. Jump down in the water and
continue back to the left. Enter the pipe overhead.
Flip and save your game. Go left to find 6 poles. They are all in the
up position. Pound them with Thudley until they are in this pattern:
up, down, down, - up, down, up. (if you accidentally pound the wrong
one, pound it again to raise it back up)
Enter the door that appears. Swim right until a giant blooper appears.
Boss Fight!
Big Blooper
HP: 18
Attack: 2
Defense: 0
Attacks:
He doesn't have much in the way of attacks. He will send a tentacle up
and try to poke you, but its slow and easy to dodge.
The only way to damage him is to pound his red tentacle. To do this,
stay in the center of the arena. When a blue tentacle comes up, dodge
it. When the red tentacle comes up, swim over top of it and press 1.
After you're done with him, swim right, enter the pipe, and hit the
star block.

Attack: 2
Defense: 0
Attacks:
1) will create a crystal above his head and throw it at you
2) will clone himself, forcing you to find the real one
3) will draw squares on the field. Don't get caught in one, or they
will explode.
Defense against attacks:
1) dodge it.
2) luck of the draw. Jump on which ever one you want.
3) Jump on top of one of the squares. [[[[
Strategy: watch out for the square attack, its deadly!
Besides that, wait for him to fly down close to you and jump on him.
Submitted strategy (joshbud9000):
1. Make sure you have a stop watch
2. start the fight as Bowser and immediately use the stop watch
3. breath fire right after its used, in 3-4 hits he will die without
even getting out of the stop
With that out of the way, we just have one more set of platforms to
jump up. Take any path you want, so long as you go up. You'll
eventually reach a large brown platform. Wait until you see a red band
of wind coming, and jump on it. Ride it until you reach a pipe. Jump
off and enter the pipe.

Note: Make sure you have at least 100 coins before starting this
chapter.
This chapter requires a little of set up before you can actually play
it. Enter the new door in Flipside Tower, only to find that theres no
air in outer space (yet Mario can breath underwater. Yeah, this game
has excellent physics).
You find yourself back on Flipside Tower. Go down and talk to Merlon.
Exit Merlons house and go all the way right. Take the elevator up and
talk to the first kid you find.
Take the elevator back down. Walk left and use the first down elevator
you find. Again, go right and take the first down elevator. Walk over
to the water and release the fish. (while you're here, you can swim
down into the water and come up the other side to find Flimm. He might
have something of interest... or not.)
Now go up and use the door on Flipside Tower. Put on the space helmet
and get floating!

a ship. Use the ship. You are now a subordinate to a squid...
congrats. Luckily, this squid breaths balls of energy. Hold A for as
long as you want (it really doesn't matter) then release.
Of course, it couldn't possibly be that easy.
You can use his energy balls at any time by pressing 2; its one of the
only ways to kill enemies in space and is most definitely the fastest.
Float right until you come across a save block. Save, then back track
to the nearest rock. Flip into 3-D to find a Foton card. Save again,
then enter the wormhole.
Again, float right and enter whichever wormhole you want.
Float right, and enter the farthest right wormhole.
Float right and flip to find a catch card SP, then float back left and
enter the farthest left wormhole.
Go right until you see a wormhole and a pipe in the background. Flip
to find a wormhole behind a rock. Enter, then enter the pipe. Grab
your coins (flip to find even more), then go back through the
wormhole. Keep going right until you find the star block.

======================================================================
Enemies: Longator, Boing-Oing, Choppa, Hooligon, Beepboxer, Fuzzy,
Ice Cherbil.
The layout of this level is pretty complex merely because you cant see
where your jumping or what you're suppose to land on.
Walk right and knock on the bathroom.
Continue right and jump over the gap. Jump up on the brown blocks
overhead to find a mushroom. Jump down until you find a door. jump up
one platform and flip to reveal a passage and a row of coins.
Now you're stuck in a pit... or so it seems. Flip to reveal stairs.
Jump up them until you reach a weird looking rock and a lightning
bolt. Continue right. Fall down the hole and flip to find an ultra
shroom shake.
Jump back up and to the right until you find a stack of sand blocks.
Use Boomer then enter the door.
Save, then jump right. Flip and use Slim to get through the crack.
Jump back up to the left and hit the ! block. Jump right and enter the
door. Use Tippi to find an item block. Grab the mushroom and exit.

enter the pipe overhead. Flip to find even more coins. Exit and walk
right (don't enter the door below you). Fall down the hole and flip
to find a passage. Jump up the blocks and enter the door.
The upper block contains a super shroom, and the final lower block
contains a star. Hit it and demolish the stage. Enter the door at the
end.
Flip to find some space food behind the pipe, then jump on top of the
pipe. Enter the door. Talk to the old man inside. Say No until he
offers it to you for 10 coins. Now go all the way back to the bathroom
at the start of the level (save your game along the way).
Give the guy in the bathroom the paper. Go back over to the right
until you find that weird rock with the lightning bolt again. Use
Fleep on the bolt. Go back to the left and use the key on the locked
door. Hit the star block and finish this level.

Again, use Fleep on the red X and squish Squirps in one of the holes.
Go right, save, and enter the wormhole. Go down and to the left and
enter the blue wormhole for some coins.
Exit, then go up and to the far right corner. Hidden behind some
Hedrons and brown blocks is another blue wormhole. Enter, go right,
then enter the shop.
You do have 100 coins on you, right? Good. Buy the Golden Choco-bar.
Exit via Blue wormhole, then find the purple wormhole again to return
to squirps.
Save, then give Squirps the chocolate. Enter the door and hit the star
block.
======================================================================
2.4.4)- 4-4: The Mysterious Mr. L
======================================================================
The Whoa Zone. One of the most complicated puzzles in any game I've
played. Remember, when I say "up" I mean up in relation to the screen,
not in relation to the character. If the Tileoids give you trouble,
switch to Bowser to kill them quickly.
Enemies: Tileoid Y and R, Barribad, Pigarithm, Hooligon.
Boss: Mr. L
Ok, go right, save, then enter the door. Go right and grab the
mushroom in the block. Jump up on the block, then onto the platform to

kill the Barribad and grab the key. Exit, fall down the gap, jump up
the stairs, and flip to enter the door. Enter the door below you.
Walk right and flip into 3-D to find some hidden stairs. Jump up then
flip back. Go left and enter the locked door.
How did that happen?! Simple, it's the Whoa Zone.
Anyway, go right and enter the next door.
Again?! Are you beginning to see why this puzzle is so complex?
Walk up and use Peach to cross the next 2 gaps (I don't want to know
how she does that) (you will jump over a door) enter the door you land
near.
Whats that? You say you want things to get even more confusing? Goood.
Walk down the stairs to the right and flip into 3-D. Fall down the
gap behind the stairs. Hit the block with the arrows on it, then walk
right and enter the door.
Walk right and use Peach to cross the gap (again, I don't want to

back up to where the stairs are. Exit through the door on the left.
Walk down and enter the first door you come across.
Walk down and enter the next door. hooray! We're rightside up again!
Flip into 3-D and enter the pipe. ... NOOO! Lol. Ok, grab your coins
and exit through the same pipe. Walk right and enter the locked door.
Hit the arrow block to get over the wall, then hit the next arrow
block to flip back upright, and use Tippi to find the door; enter.
Walk right and hit the arrow block. Walk up and hit the next arrow
block. DON'T ENTER THE DOOR. Hit the arrow block again and walk down.

Walk down and enter the door. Walk right, grab some shrooms, then
enter the door. Walk left, open the chest, walk back right, enter the
door, walk left, enter the door, walk up, enter the door.

Enemies: Frost Piranha, Dry Bones, Lava Bubble, Underhand.
This is easy. Just return to the Scary lady (Queen Jaydes). Use Luigi
to get there faster, and either Dottie or Carrie can take you across
the water without having to swim.
======================================================================
2.7.2)- 7-2: The Sealed Doors Three
======================================================================
Enemies: Underhand, Dark Boo, Dry Bones, Dull Bones, Spiny Tromp.
Walk right and enter the door. This room is pitch black. It would be
near impossible for me to describe where to jump next. Just follow
Luvbi, who should always be just at the edge of your vision. At one
point you'll see a chest on your right. Either use Luigi or drop from
the ledge above it to obtain a Dark Boo card. Continue up and Use
Tippi to look at the door.
Answer his questions as follows:
Queen Jaydes
Dorguy the First
6 times
Enter, save, then switch to Barry and Mario. Talk to the three guys
standing at the final door. Answer yes. Enter and walk right. After a
rather funny conversation, you now have to fight Bowser. I'm not even
going to bother with boss strategies, just use Barry and Boomer if you
feel like.
Good. Now save and go through the locked door. Again, this room is
pitch black. This time however, switch to Bowser and use his fire
breath on the candles you see on your way up. Still, follow Luvdi and
watch out for Dark Boo's (Bowser makes nice work of them too).
Most of the way up you should see a pipe on the right side. That pipe
contains a huge amount of coins, but only a limited time in which to
collect them. Jump in and use Carrie for best results. Go back out and
continue to the top.
Again, use Tippi on the door.
Brain Age anyone? Answer his questions as follows:
3
2
Blue
4
Triangles
Enter, go left, then enter the pink door. Save, then talk to the pink
old witch. Answer yes. Talk to the D-man and enter the door. Guess
where you are? Work your way back up to where you where two sentences
ago.
...
You there yet? Good; now give the witch back her book and unlock the
next door. (you can talk to the other two witches as well. They each
have quests for you.).
Use Luigi to get over the first gap, then to get to the upper
staircases. When you reach the upper stairs, use Mario to get past the
Spiny Tromp.
Use Tippi on the door. Now you will have to battle 3 Chain Chomps, old
school strategy style. Either use Bowser's jump attack, or Boomer to
finish them quickly. Also, if you have Piccolo, use him to put them
all to sleep.
Enter and hit the star block.
======================================================================
2.7.3)- 7-3: The Forbidden Apple

Ruff Puff, Lakitu, Spiny, Squog, Squig, Reversya Cursya, Skellobit,
Skellobomber, Spiky Skellobait, Spiky Skellobit.
This level is going to be nigh impossible to explain do to the nature
of it. Use Luigi and jump carefully. If you need more help, check out
the ASCII maps in section 10)- at the bottom of this guide.
I also included cloud numbers. Most of the clouds are numbered by
artful wisps written in the background just above the cloud itself.
You start in Stair 1 on Cloud 11 (written right beside the sign)
To start, jump strait up (super jump), until you find item blocks
(12). Jump up from one to the next, then super jump up again (to cloud
13). One more super jump, then walk left. When you reach a gap (don't
cross the gap), super jump again (to could 15). Jump onto the big
cloud with eyes. Use him to jump really high (just like a spring
board.) Walk right, over the gap (to cloud 19), and use the next
cloud. Enter the door (cloud 20).
You're now on Stair 2 and cloud 21
Walk right until you see a cloud overhead. Super jump twice, then save
your game. Walk/jump left until you reach another jump cloud (beside
cloud 22). Use it. You should land on cloud 24. Use the next jump
cloud you land by.
You are now on cloud 25. Hold it! Don't use the next cloud just yet.
Walk right and open the chest for a Rawbus card. Now go back and use
the cloud. Walk/jump right/up until you find another jump cloud (you
should pass cloud 27 and 28 on your way). Use it then walk/jump left
and enter the door (cloud 30, you'll pass cloud 29 on the way).
You're now on Stair 3 and cloud 31.
Walk right and use the jump cloud (land on cloud 33). Walk left to
find a Ruff Puff card (Number 34 written by the chest). Now walk back
near the brown blocks and super jump. Do three more super jumps. (the
first to cloud 35, then 36, then 37). Switch to Mario and flip. Use
the 3-D only blocks to cross the gap. Now carefully fall down a few
clouds to find another jump cloud (you'll pass cloud 38). Use it and
enter the door on the left (cloud 40).
You're now on stair 4, cloud 41.
Walk as far right as you can, then super jump onto a jump cloud
(you'll land by a tree). Jump again and enter the door to the right
(cloud 46). Carefully jump from cloud to cloud, then use cudge on the
tree. Grab the red apple and exit.
Walk to the edge of the cloud and super jump left. If you're lucky,
you'll land by a door and a save block (cloud 43). If not, you'll at
least see what I'm talking about and be able to climb up there. Save
and enter the door. Walk left to find Peach.
Exit, then walk left and hop on the second yellow platform. Let it
take you up, then hop off the left side for a shroom shake. Super jump
over the gap and use the jump cloud at the end (land on cloud 48).
Walk right and enter the door (cloud 50).
You're now on stair 5, cloud 51.
Super jump up and to the right (land on cloud 52 by a door), then use
the yellow platform on the right. Jump up again to find a sign (cloud
53). Flip into 3-D to find a hidden path to the right. Enter the door.
Again, use Cudge to claim the apple. Now return to Peach. Give Peach
the black apple (you do still have the Red Apple though, right?).
Exit and jump back up and enter the door at the top (like last time).
This time, walk left and super jump under the jump cloud to land on it
and use it (land on cloud 54). Climb the brown blocks and switch to
Peach to cross the gap to the right (land on cloud 55).
Use the jump cloud and veer slightly right to land on another jump
cloud. This time, veer a little left to land on yet another jump
cloud. Enter the door to the left (cloud 60, you should land roughly
between 2 pillars in the background).
You're now on stair 6, cloud 61.
Walk all the way left until you find a sand brick (one of the bricks
contains a super Shroom). Use the yellow platform to the right of it,
then use the yellow platform it takes you too. Jump onto the stone
structure. Jump from arch to arch until you are on the fourth one. Use
Luigi to super jump onto a jump cloud.
You'll probably hit your head on a coin block (cloud 67). Use the
yellow platform to the left of the coin block then jump onto the stone
pillar. From the pillar, super jump up onto the overhead cloud (you
cant see it), then enter the door on the above/left cloud (cloud 70).
You're now on stair 7 and cloud 71
Only a little farther....
Walk left and use the jump cloud.
Veer right and you should land on or near another jump cloud. Use it.
Land on cloud 73, then jump from stone pillar to stone pillar until
you are on the third one. Super jump onto cloud 74 (again, you cant
see it).
Ride the yellow platform to the right. Jump off of it, then jump onto
the cloud to the right. Open the chest for a life shroom. Jump onto
the big cloud and go past the building. Hit the blue ! block at the
end of the cloud, but dont enter the pipe. Talk to the little jump
cloud and give him the Red Apple. Hitch a ride up.
Super jump to the top of the building to claim a gold bar. Fall off
and enter the door. Use Peach to cross the gap to the right.
Jump on top of the building and walk right. Open the chest for a
Zombie Shroom card. Jump back over the building and hit the star
block.

Go back through the door and jump onto the third pillar. Super jump up
and enter the locked door. Walk right, save, use Peach to jump from

back to the save block. Talk to the Nimbi inside the building and go
up.
Unfreeze the Nimbi's as you go, then enter the door. Continue to
unfreeze the Nimbi's in this next section as well. One of them will
start talking to you. Go back left and back out the door. Go down and
enter the locked door on the left.
Walk left and fall down. Enter the pipe. Use Luigi to find two chests
up high containing cards. Exit back through the pipe. Jump up on the
left side 3 times then enter the door. Flip into 3-D to find a hidden
path.
Follow it, then hit the item block for a star. Demolish everything
until you reach a dead end. Flip again to find another hidden path. Go
up and knock on the door. Answer: A monster. Take the orb and go back
through the 2 hidden paths and the door as well.
Fall down to the right and hit the ! block in the building. Flip into
3-D and go around behind the next building then enter the door. Use
Peach to cross the gap (if you fall down, there is an ultra shroom in
the chest). Defeat the rest of the enemies then talk to the Nimbi.
Exit via the door you came in through.
Ride the elevator back and enter the first door you see. Walk left and
enter the door. walk left and fall off the cloud. Enter the door to
your right. Walk as far right as you can (past all the pillars) and

right.
Walk past the building and stand on the pedestal. Put in all three
orbs (the order doesn't matter), and cross the bridge. Enter the door.
Switch to Mario and walk right.
The air battle is covered. Just worry about the enemies on the ground.
When you reach the stairs, flip to find a Spiky Skellibit card. Walk
up the stairs. Save, grab the super shroom, fall off to the right and
grab an ultra shroom, switch to Peach and Thoreau, then enter the
door.
Boss Fight!
Bonechill
HP: 80
Attack: 4
Defense: 0
Attacks:
1) breaths frigid air to freeze you
2) fires projectiles from its cannon
3) Breaths on the ceiling to make ice stalactites form and drop
Defense against attacks:
1) Umbrella
2) Umbrella
3) Umbrella
Strategy: the best way to damage him is with Luigi's super jump, but
then you cant use Peach's umbrella to defend. The other option is to
use Thoreau to grab ice projectiles and throw them at his head.
======================================================================
2.7.5)- Interlude
======================================================================
Save and heal up. Go to Flopside and take the hidden path to Flopside
outskirts. Go right to find the Heart Pillar.
I recommend you be at least on level 15 before attempting chapter 8.
If you're already there, great! If not, see the after credits section
and use the infinite experience trick.
Also, doing the Pit of 100 trials in Flipside would help you level up,
as well as net you Dashell.

Yellow Magiblot, Soopa Striker, Dull Bones, Heavy Cursya, Magikoopa,
Tech Cursya, Gawbus, Boomerang Bro.
Boss: O'Chunks
Walk right, flip, enter the door.
Walk right, enter the door.
Use 3-D mode to walk up the next 2 flights of stairs. Fighting the
enemies at this point would be a waist of time and health. Enter the
door at the top of the second stair case.
Walk right and use Luigi to jump to the ledge beneath the door. Enter.
Use Luigi to jump to the right, then Peach to cross the gap. Enter the
pipe. Walk right and open the chest. Go back through the pipe. Go back
out through the door (if you keep going left, you'll find a stop watch
and long-last shake).
Fall to the right and unlock the door. Keep going right until you find
another door. Enter and climb up the stairs. Note the order of the lit
candles. Enter the door at the top. Save your game, then use Bowser to
light the candles in this order:
Unlit
Lit
Lit
Unlit
Lit
Jump up the stairs and enter the door (you have to be in 3-D mode to
enter).
Boss Fight!
O'Chunks
HP: 100
Attack: 4
Defense: 0
Strategy: surly you know all of O'Chunks attacks by now.
You are restricted to only using Bowser and pixls in this fight. Just
use Barry as always, and Bowser's flame breath when you can.
After, hit the start block.
======================================================================
2.8.2)- 8-2: The Crash
======================================================================
Enemies: Zoing-Oing, Cursya, Blastboxer, Red I, Red Magiblot, Gloomba,
Hammer Bro, Koopa Troopa, Fire Bro, Chomeba,
Boss: Mimi
Hope you weren't to fond of using Bowser...
Walk right and enter the door.
Despite how obvious it is, you have no choice but to hit the blue !
block.
Walk right and use Boomer on the wall. Flip to get through. Go through
the door on the left. Use 3-D mode to bypass the flames. When you
reach the end, hit the red ! block 2 times. Walk back out the door.
Enter the pipe. Open the chest for a Courage Shell, key, and life
shroom. Walk over to the right side and flip into 3-D. Fall down the
hole, then open the door.
Walk up the stairs (enter the first door and flip for an Ultra
Shroom). Enter the door at the top of the second stair case.
Walk right and grab the third mushroom on a string. Flip to reveal a
Chomeba. Defeat it to find a key. Exit via pipe. Save, then unlock the
door. Again, rather obvious. Anyway, answer her questions:
Ultra Shroom
Thunder Rage
Cooking Mistake
Enter the next 3 rooms and see what happens. (in the final room, I
cant imagine fighting that many Amazy Dazee's @_@)
Boss fight!
Mimi
HP: doesn't matter
Attack: 4
Defense: 0
Strategy: Again, you've fought Mimi 3 times now. You know her attacks
and how to beat her. Luckily, the character you are forced to fight
with is Peach.
======================================================================
2.8.3)- 8-3: Countdown to Destruction
======================================================================
Enemies: Heavy Cursya, Skellobomber, Skellobait, Spiky Skellobait,
Spiky Skellobit, Cursya, Sobarribad, Hogarithm, Boomerang Bro, Soopa
Striker, Blue Magiblot, Red Magiblot, Yellow Magiblot, Longadile.
Boss: Dimentio
Goodbye Peach...
Walk right and enter the door.
Use Luigi to jump onto the upper platform, then cross and enter the
door.
This next part is complex. To start, don't worry about the Dimentio in
the mirrors. Next, count your jumps. Once you're on the fourth
platform (not counting the one you started on), flip into 3-D and walk
through the mirror. Go right to find the key, then go back through the
mirror. Keep jumping left, then enter the locked door.
Walk right and flip. Go through the door behind the stairs. Use Luigi
to hit the block on the far right. Enter the door. Hit the block in
the middle. Enter the door. Don't enter the door that's already there;
hit the block on the far right and enter the new door.
In the final room, hit the block in the middle, then on the right,
then the left. Garb the key and go back out to the steps. Jump up and
enter the locked door.
Ok, this next part is really complex, and I think it varies by game.
First, go through the room and clear out all of the enemies. Next,
enter the far right door. You'll be put back in the same room. Flip
into 3-D to see arrows points around platforms. Use Luigi to follow
the arrows. Now enter the far right door.
This is the same mirror puzzle as before. Count your jumps. Jump 6
times then flip and enter the mirror that doesn't reflect. This time,
you have to fight your way right to claim the key. use Dashell if you
have him, or if not then use Cudge to carve out a path.
Go back through the mirror and continue right. Save and enter the
door.
Boss Fight!
Dimentio
HP: 120
Attack: 4
Defense: 0
Stage 1: this is just a game of tag. Follow him through the stages,
find the lightning bold, then flip them with Fleep.
Answer No to his question, or your game will end.
You are forced to use Luigi throughout this fight, and no Pixls.
Stage 2:
Attacks:
1) will create a crystal above his head and throw it at you
2) will clone himself, forcing you to find the real one
3) will draw squares on the field. Don't get caught in one, or they
will explode.
Defense against attacks:
1) dodge it.
2) luck of the draw. Jump on which ever one you want.
3) Jump on top of one of the squares.
Strategy: watch out for the square attack, its deadly!
Besides that, wait for him to fly down close to you and jump on him.
Hit the star block and move on.
======================================================================
2.8.4)- 8-4: Tippi and Count Bleck
======================================================================
Enemies: Copta, Poison Pokey, Reversya Cursya, Yellow Magiblot,
Parabuzzy, Spiky Parabuzzy, Mega Muth, Pink Fuzzy, Gawbus, Blue
Magiblot, Red Magiblot, Skellobomber, Skellobait, Spiky Skellobait,
Spiky Skellobit.
Boss: Count Bleck, Mr. L and Dementio.
And then there was one...
Walk right and enter the door.
Use Tippi to find the hidden door.
Ready for some good old-fashion platforming? No? Too bad.
Jump from moving platform to moving platform, timing your jumps very
carefully. At 2 points you'll hit a wall. Flip to get around them.
Enter the door at the end.
More platforming!
Again, carefully time your jumps to stay as high as possible. When you
land on the middle platform, flip and enter the pipe. Use Dottie and
flip to get under the wall and find a key. Go back out for some more
platforming then enter the locked door.
(oh, and by the way, I hate platforming... I'm terrible at it >_>)
Walk right and enter the door.
Flip into 3-D and enter the hidden door on the right. Go through 2
more hidden doors, then flip back and go right. Enter the door at the
top.
Walk all the way right then flip. Walk through 3 hidden doors to the
left, then flip back. Enter the door on the far right.
Flip then go into the second hidden door on the right. Go through one
more then open the chest. Walk all the way left and flip again. Go
through 2 hidden doors on the right, flip, walk all the way right,
enter the door.
Walk up the stairs, grab the ultra shroom, save, switch to Slim, then
enter the door.
Boss Fight!
Count Bleck
HP: 150
Attack: 8
Defense: 0
Attacks:
1) Shoots a mini black hole at you
2) rushes you
3) coats the field in magic, slowing you down
4) teleports
5) creates a large black hole, doing more damage if you get sucked in
Defense against attacks:
1-4) stay Slim
5) run when it starts to suck you in.
Strategy: You cant damage him at first, but you do need to hit him a
few times. Stay up high and wait for him to come to you. Remember, as
long as you're standing still he cant really hurt you. As soon as you
see him below you, jump on him.
Boss Fight!
Mr. L and Dimentio
HP: 200
Attack: 6
Defense: 0
Strategy: Attacks don't really matter. All that matters is that you
switch to Bowser and stay Slim. Jump up to one of the blocks level
with his neck and blaze away. If he fires something at you, or you get
to close to him, stand still (and Slim) until its over; then go back
to attacking.
END GAME.
There is still much to do in the After-Credits section though.
Oh, and if you actually watch all the credits, you'll see that
Blumiere and Timpani actually did survive and are together on a grassy
hill beneath a tree in the middle of nowhere.
NOTE: YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE CREDITS TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE PLAYING
YOUR GAME FILE!

======================================================================
2.9)- The After-Credits
======================================================================
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
NOTE: YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE CREDITS TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE PLAYING
YOUR GAME FILE!
I know what you're thinking: "The after-credits? What's that?"
Its pretty simple. After you beat SPM, you are allowed to continue
playing your file to complete side quests or just goof off. This
section covers all the side quests (even though some of them are
mentioned in the walkthrough) and some stuff that you can only do
after you complete the game.
Also note since this section is going to be under construction for
some time, the section numbers are subject to change, as are the
instructions held within.
======================================================================
2.9.1)- Infinite Coins/Score Points
======================================================================
===================================
1) Requirements: Chapter 5 must be completed.
===================================
First, go to any store and store all of your stuff. Next, go to
Flopside card shop and buy as many Catch card SP's as you can (make
sure you buy at least 3). Thirdly, use the Return Pipe to warp to
Flipside tower.
Enter Chapter 5-2.
Go right and through the fist door. Now go right and kill everything
in your way (they'll just get in the way later). Enter the next door
you find. Jump across the gap and kill the Stone Buzzy.
Flip into 3-D and use a catch card SP on the Amazy Dayzee. If it
doesn't work, flip into 2-D and try again.
After its caught, go back through the door on the left, then back
through the next door on the left. Now go back and catch the Dayzee
again. Repeat until you are out of cards.
Now use the return pipe and go back to the card shop in Flopside. Sell
him all your Amazy Dayzee cards until your wallet is full.
For infinite score points, and thereby levels, do the same as above,
but now go to the shop in Flopside and by as many Gold Medals as you
can (but don't use all of your money, you'll need to buy more catch
card SP's).
Go to world 1-3 and hit the third item block. It contains a speed
flower. While the flower is still in effect, use all your Gold Medals
for 30,000 points each!
Rinse and repeat as much as you like.
===================================
2) Requirements: Have beaten chapter 1.
===================================
To make some quick money early in the game, go to the shop in 1-2,
stock up on Shroom Shakes for 11 coins each, take them back to
Flipside and have them cooked up, then sell them at the store in
Flipside for 35 coins each. Another good way to make some money if you
don't feel like wasting time with cooking, is to buy a Gold Bar for
100 coins, then take it to the shop in 1-2 and sell them for 125
coins.
===================================
3) Requirements: Have beaten chapter 8. Have Dashell.
===================================
This is, by far, the fastest way to level up.
This way doesn't get you very many coins. In fact, it gets you just
enough coins to continue using it.
Go to the shop in Flipside and buy 10 Shock Shells.
Now go to world 8-4. As soon as the stage starts, use a shock shell,
then follow it (using Dashell) all the way down the hall. Once at the
end, use the return pipe and repeat.
This gets you about 80,000 points per run through the hallway.
==================================
4) Requirements: Have beaten chapter 5. Have Bowser.
==================================
World 5-4: there's a pipe which has infinite floro sapiens come out.
its to the right of the door that leads to the lad where you fought
O'Chunks. Stand on the block next to it, tape the down button down
with Bowser selected, and blow fire at the flowers forever.
======================================================================
2.9.2)- Piccolo Quest
======================================================================
Requirements: Chapter 5 must be complete.
How its done:
First, talk to Merlee (Flopside 2nd floor) on the other side of her
crystal ball.
Next, talk to Merluvlee (Flipside 2nd floor) on the other side of her
crystal ball.
Third, go to Bestovius's house (Chapter 1-1) and talk to him.
Fourth, go to Wachitt's house (Chapter 1-2) and talk to him.
Filth, go visit Merlumina at the end of chapter 1-4.
Finally, retrace all of your steps. Merlee will offer you a free
charm. Turn her down to get a key.
Go to the first floor of Flopside and enter the background area via
hole in the wall (by the card shop). Unlock the locked door and open
the chest to find Piccolo.
======================================================================
2.9.3)- Tiptron (Tippi replacement)
======================================================================
Requirements: Chapter 8 must be complete. Must have 999 coins.
At this point, you're probably asking yourself how you're going to do
certain things (like reveal hidden blocks) without Tippi.
One word: Tiptron!
What is Tiptron? It's a robotic Tippi that looks and acts just like
Tippi. Whose nerd enough to make such a thing? I think you just
answered your own question.
Go to world 3-4 and make your way to the room where you fought
Francis. Talk to him and he will offer you Tiptron.
Buy it, and... that's it.
She... it... whatever, Costs 999 coins. So start saving.
======================================================================
2.9.4)- Pit of 100 Trials (Flipside)
======================================================================
Requirements: none. But you should at least be on level 14, preferably
higher.
In the pit of 100 trials, the objective is to defeat enemies in the
room, then open the door with the key you got from a random enemy. You
have 5 minutes to complete each room. Every tenth level is a chest
with a rare card. The end reward is a new Pixl: Dashell
Floor 1: Squiglet
2: Goomba
3: Squig, Squiglet
4: Sproing-Oing
5: Goomba, Gloomba
6: Cherbil
7: Sproing-Oing, Squig
8: Squig, Squiglet
9: Gloomba, Poison Cherbil
10: Catch Card
