Hint :
Hint: Unlimited items from trees:
Once you have received a hammer, use it to hit trees. The tree where you begin gives you an endless supply of acorns that revive your FP by 3. However, you must go somewhere else and then go back to receive another acorn. You can also get coins, star pieces, and a weird doll as well.
Hint: Colored Toads:
The Colored Toads will run off if you talk to them.
Hint: Answers to the Bowser questions:
The answers are as follows: "3", "Red", "Red", "24".
Hint: Never-ending hallway pattern:
The pattern to the "Never-ending hallway" is up, down, up, down, down, up.
Hint: Leveling up:
The best way to level up is to find a Bill Blaster. Kill the Bombshell Bills it shoots out. Do this as much as needed. You should not get hurt if you jump on then get a first strike.
When you reach the flower fields, find an Amayzee Dayzee (the sparkly one located after you pass the yellow flower gate). Equip every badge available that increases your attack, making sure you have the Mega Rush badge and the Power Bounce badge, which lets you jump on an enemy until you miss a mark. Jump into the thorns nearby until you have 1 HP remaining, then hit the daisy with your hammer to start the battle. Use the Power Bounce until the daisy faints, which should only be a few bounces because you will do about 8 damage the first time, 7 the next, etc. If you fail to kill it on the first turn, it will most likely run. If not, it will do 20 damage. After you win, you will get 30 to 40 star points, depending on your level. To fight the daisy again, leave the flower fields and return. You may want to take a life shroom to heal.
Hint: Ultra Leveling party members:
Once you visit Raphael the Raven, you can "Ultra-Level" your party members. The best one to "Ultra-Level" is Parakarry, because he learns "Air Raid," which uses 6 (or 8) FP, and deals about 6 damage to each enemy (if you get to 100% on the "Press Left repeatedly" meter).
Hint: Chet Rippo:
Do not trust Chet Rippo -- he will raise one stat and drop the other two. It is a complete waste of 39 coins.
Note: Chet Rippo does cheat you with the first two, but not the last one. If you chose BP, you will basically gain a level. You can also regain the health and FP you lost later. It may be worth doing it at least once.
Hint: Reduce damage:
To reduce the damage an enemy gives to Mario, do the action command while the enemy is attacking. For example, if a Goomba jumps on Mario, press A immediately before it lands. Mario will crouch down with his hat over his head, reducing the damage. If done correctly, the word "Nice" will appear.
Hint: More coins:
To get more coins from fighting, wear the Pay-Off Badge. When you are in a battle and get hurt a lot, you will get more coins.
Go to any area with a fire bar (a rotating bar of fire). The volcano is the best area for this trick. Jump over it when passes, and it will spin faster. Soon, it will disappear and leave coins behind.
Hint: Defeating enemies or Bosses easily:
This trick allows to you to defeat Bosses easily with the Power Bounce attack and get well over the occasional 20 or 30 Power Bounces. First, buy and equip the Dodge Master Badge from Rowf's Badge Shop in Toad Town. It will eventually appear there, if it is not already present. Then equip the Power Bounce Badge. Fight an enemy (or boss such as Bowser). You may be able to get up to 80 Bounces. Be sure to have at least one Power Plus Badge equipped and have Watt in your party -- she can do 5 damage with Electro Dash and can also use Turbo Charge to make Mario stronger.
(www.gamesupport.dk)
To defeat Bosses easily, you must have Goombario up to at least Super rank. Fight any tough enemy or Boss, have Mario attack or do some other task, and have Goombario use his Charge ability. Use Goombario's charge ability five to eight times in a row, then do a Headbonk or Multi-bonk to do big damage. Most Bosses will go down quickly.
Hint: Defeating Anti-Guy:
Have a Lemon Candy when you talk to the Anti-Guy in the Shy Guy's toybox. He loves Lemon Candy and will trade the treasure he is guarding for the candy.
Hint: Defeating Bowser:
When facing Bowser (both the first and second times), make sure you have Bombettie in your party. Also have a Plus Power and a Plus Defense badge. When you enter the battle, use Bombettie's Bomb (it is only 3 FP and it does good damage). You should do 6 damage in the first battle and 5 during the second. Have Mario heal himself and use moves that do not use FP. In the second battle, the Stars help you at the start. When you enter, make sure you have around 40 HP. Your FP can be down -- do not use any items to heal your FP. Make sure you save Star Power, use the Elder Power when Bowser uses his claw attack (it will poison you), and keep your health up. Bowser's health during the first battle is only 50, and is 99 during the second.
Get to about level 23, have the Deep Focus , +5 FP, +5 HP, and the Power Jump Badge. Put on the Plus Defense and Plus Power Badge. Your Hp should be around 40, FP 40, and BP 30. When you fight him at Bowser Castle, have Watt or Boo at Ultra level. Keep beating him and when he uses the Star Rod, Mario must use the Star Beam. The Master is harder than Bowser. When you finish, heal and save the game.Go all the way up. Keep going straight and go on the platform. When you fight Bowser again, he has a power-up using Magic Koopa Machine. Use the same tactics. Later on he will use the Star Rod, and when you use the Star Beam it will not work. Then, you will fight Magic Koopa with Twink the Little Star. Every time you reach Peach's turn, use Focus and keep using it -- you cannot lose this battle. After defeating Koopa, a speech will start. You will get the Star Beam upgraded to a Peach Beam. Face Bowser again, and use the Peach Beam to defeat him. Note: He will recover 30 HP with the Star Rod.
If you are at a low level when you battle Bowser, use the following steps. Make Sure you have 2 Deluxe Feasts. To get them, cook Wanka Bumps with Strange Leaves). Also have 3 Life Shrooms and 5 Repel Gels. Use at least these badges: Mega Jump, Power Bounce, HP Plus, FP Plus, Power Rush, Lucky Day, Deep Focus, and Flower Saver. Use the partner named Watt, as he can penetrate defense. During the battle, start Mario's turn by using the Repel Gel, and then use Watt's Turbo Charge. Keep using Mega Jump. or if you can, keep pressing A at the correct time, every time use Power Bounce. Bowser has an attack power of 12, Defense of 1, and HP of 99 so this fight can last a long time. Use Repel Gels whenever you can. When Bowser uses his Star Rod use the Peach Beam.
You need to hit Bowser 11 times, and you got to hit him with 9 damage.
Although it is nearly impossible, with this hint you can beat Bowser in one turn. All you need are three badges and extremely good timing. Use the badges Power Bounce, Spike Shield, and Fire Shield.
Hint: Defeating Crystal King:
You need Fire Flower(s), Watt, the Power Plus Badge, and a Stone Cap. Use Mario's Jump. Use Watt to attack the Crystal King. When he clones himself, use the Fire Flower. It will burn him. When your HP is low, use the Stone Cap. Then, use Watt to zap away.
The Crystal King cannot be hurt with ice, so do not use things like the Snowman Doll on him. Fill up with a lot of coins. You will need at least ten Fire Flowers and Kooper will need to know Fire Shell. Get an extra Fire Flower and an Egg from Mt. Rugged, take them both to Tayce T. and you will get an Egg Bomb.
Hint: Defeating The Master:
This trick should work for all of The Master's stages. You will need at least four or five Stone Caps in your inventory, and Goombario at Ultra Rank. Have Mario use a Stone Cap to turn him to stone. Mario cannot be damaged in this form. Use Goombario's "Charge" attack to power him up. When Mario returns to normal, use another Stone Cap to turn him into stone form again. Keep powering-up Goombario until his power has risen by at least +20. Then, use Goombario's "Multibonk" attack on The Master. If you time the Action Commands just correctly, you should do a total of over 100 damage.
Hint: Blue Station: Power Plus Badge:
Defeat the Anti-Shyguy (the Shy Guy dressed in a gray suit) in the Blue Station. The Power Plus Badge is inside the toybox.
Hint: Boo's Mansion: Original Mario:
Jump in the vase in Boo's Mansion. When you jump out, you will be the original NES version of Mario. You cannot leave the room with this trick on.
Hint: Crystal Palace: Badge warning:
Do not use the two badges you get in crystal palace (P-Down D-Up and P-Up D-Down) together -- they will cancel each other out.
Hint: Desert Oasis: Finding its location:
To find the Desert Oasis go south two times from the place next to Dry Dry Outpost. There is a lemon and lime tree, as well as a Super Block, there.
Hint Dry Dry Outpost: Quick Change Badge:
After Merlock tells you to, find thebig red palm tree and run around it until a cloaked mushroom talks to you. From what he says, go to Merlock's house and enter. Spin jump (or tornado jump) three times. A Quick Change Badge will appear. It will allow you to change party members without wasting a turn. Note: Merlock tells you this in the fourth chapter. If you finish the fourth chapter before he says this, you can still do the trick.
Hint: Dry Dry ruins: Finding its location:
After you give the mysterious sheik a few items, he will tell you what it will take for him to reveal some very valuable information. Go to the Desert Oasis and bring him a lemon. Sheiks advice tells you to go to the shop in Dry Dry Outpost. Purchase a Dried Shroom, and then a Dusty Hammer. Little Mouser (seller) will take it as a sign that you know Moustafa "The Descendent Of The Ruins Builders". This will lead him to revealing Moustafa's whereabouts. The game that you play by giving the lemon to Sheik and buying unpopular items at Little Mouser's will leave Sheik's house unguarded. Enter the house and walk to the right. You will exit through the side of the building, giving you access to a pile of crates. Climb up on the roof, then move to the left and make your way to the second floor of Moustafa's place. Sheik's biggest secret is that he is Moustafa in disguise. When the Mouse Of Mystery reveals his true identity to you in his second floor home, he will also entrust you with the real information about Dry Dry Ruins and an item that will allow you to find the ruins in Dry Dry Desert -- the powerful Pulse Stone. Take the stone, then stock up on goods, spell's, and curses from Merlee in Dry Dry Outpost. Begin your journey to the ruins. The Pulse Stone can zero in on the location of the ruins. Go four times west (counting the part of the desert that you are on), four spaces north (counting the part of the desert you are on), and move over two spaces (counting the part of the desert you are on).The closer you are to the ruins, the faster the stone will pulse. When you reach a rock that has a distinct pulse stone-shaped hole,. place the stone in it. The ground will shake and Dry Dry Ruins will rise from the sand.

Hint: Koopa Brother's Fortress: Hit points:
Go to the fork between the Koopa Brothers Fortress and Koopa Village. Take the route to the Koopa Brothers Fortress and find the three blue moles. Run around the mole just behind the sign. Strange music will play, just as in Super Mario Brothers 3 when you get the star, and little hearts will shoot out. This only works with the first mole. Behind the third mole (farthest from the sign) is Honey Syrup, which restores 5 HP.
Hint: Koopa Town: Original Mario music and hints:

Hint: Mt. Rugged: Whacka's Bump:
Go in to Mt. Rugged. About two screens after you find Parakarry, the path will split slightly. Go down and then left. You will find a dead end and a strange little blue "mole" named Whacka. He should tell you that it is a nice day or something similar. Hit him with the hammer and he will say "Ouch don't hit me" and go underground. A Whacka's Bump will pop out. Whacka's Bump restores 25 HP and 25 FP. Go to the next screen, then repeat the process. You should be able to get about seven or eight of them. After this, he will never return.
Hint: Pleasant Path: Unlimited hearts:
Find the split on Pleasant Path where one direction leads to the Koopa Bros. Fortress and the other leads to Koopa Village. Keep running around the striped pole next to the sign to get hearts.

Bounce on the spring and you will go to Shyguys' Hideout. You can give back the stolen items by fighting the Shyguys with items above their heads. You will get the item if you win. You need all the items to complete toy box and the invasion of Shyguys in Toad Town.
Hint: Toad Town: Free games:
