Paper Mario Boss Strategy Guide-By Rew215 As you leave the area with Goompa, you will be stopped by the bully, Jr. Troopa. He will challenge you to a fight. Just keep jumping on him every turn and you should win. When he has 1 hp left, he will use a stronger move. But that cant stop you from getting your first star points. Goomba Bros The Goomba Bros can really test your skill so far. Focus your attacks on Blue Goomba, since he is weaker. Save your FP on Red Goomba. When Blue Goomba is out, use power bounce and headbonk on Red Goomba. Mushrooms can be very helpfull too. Not a terribly hard boss. Goomba King The Goomba Bros. will help Goomba King battle you. But dont give up! They are weak from the battle before. And plus, the tree on the side of the battle will help. Use your hammer on the tree on your first turn, and it will miraculously defeat the Gommba Bros. and damage Goomba King. Use headbonk on him on Goombarios turn. The Goomba King will use a kick attack on you which isnt very effective. Use power bounce when it is Mario's turn again. If you by chance have a hard time in battle, use a mushroom and equip the close call badge. If you do this right, you should win with a maximum loss of 2 hp. Robotic Bowser/Koopa Bros When you find the Koopa Bros, they will hop into a robitic Bowser costume and battle you. Supply yourself with many mushrooms before the battle. First, use regular jump attacks, because you want to save your FP for the Koopa Bros. If you have maple or honey syrup, use stronger attacks. When robotic bowser is down, the Koopa Bros will instantly hop into battle and attack on that turn with thier special attack. It takes away 1hp per Koopa Brother, so that is 4hp! Do your best with the action command. The they hop on each other. To knock them down, use Mario's hammer on them, and they will start to tumble. Instantly, attack with your party member to knock them over. Now they are vulnerable. Attack with Kooper and use Power Shell, which should do 2hp per Koopa. Then Finish one of them with a power bounce. Repeat the process and the battle is yours. Jr. Troopa He was serious when he said he would be back! This time, he hides in his shell throughout the battle so he has a high defense. Use Bombettes Bomb attack and Mario power bounce. Not a tough battle. Blooper Blooper is optional at this point of the game, and has 30 hp. But it is possible to beat him. Stock up on mushrooms and syrup, and equip the toughest badges. Power bounce with Mario on every turn, and headbonk with Goombario every turn. Keep using items when needed, and the battle is in the bag. Chan Chan is the first one you have to face at the dojo. Use Mario's jump on your first turn and use Bombettes bomb on the next. If you repeat the process, you will win the battle with no hp lost. Buzzar Buzzar is the toughest boss up to date. If you want a challenge and some star points, choose Mario to his question. He has a swoop attack that can take you out of battle, which can take 4hp away from you. Press A repeatedly to stop it. He also uses a simple feather attack that takes little damage from you. Another attack he has is a swoop attack. Time the action command carefully. He has an attack that damages your party member, even if you use the action command. Use your strongest attacks and bring some super mushrooms. Parakary's shell shot is very effective here. If you are skilled, you can take away 8hp per turn. Tutankoopa Tutankoopa can be hard if you dont use the right moves. He calls out a chain chomp that takes away some damage. He also throws the blue shells he has next to him. He can also summon some rocks to fall from the ceiling, which can either damage you or him. Focus your attacks on Tutankoopa, since the chain chomp has such a high defense. Your best bet is to continuously use Power Bounce and Shell shot to do maximum damage. If performed correctly, you can knock off 9hp per turn. Electro Blooper If you have beaten the past bosses so far, you shouldn't have a hard time on Electro Blooper. This time, Electro Blooper can electrify himself, hence the name. Hammer or jump wont work, for obvious reasons. Your best party member for this battle is Parakary, for he can use shell shot on Electro Blooper without damaging himself. After de-electrifying him, go all out on your most powerfull moves. Using your action command, Parakary's shell shot and Mario's badges, you shouldn't lose. Lee Lee can transform into your party member, which makes the battle confusing. The best bet I would say is to use Bombette, for her powerfull bomb attacks. Just use the ation command and Bombettes bomb and you should drain that 20 HP quickly. Tubba Blubba's Heart You should defidently use Bow as your partner for this battle as this boss has a devistating attack. Tubba's heart has a rather high attack, so you should counter with your best attacks. Sooner or later, the heart will glow bright red for one turn. That is your cue to use outta sight with Bow! You can't argue with an attack that drains 12 HP, so don't risk it. Just ue your normal attacks and Bows smack and you should win. Tubba Blubba It is the invincible Tubba Blubba himself! But he actually has a low 10hp from the battle with the heart, so this is very easy. Just use power bounce and smack and you win. Jr. Troopa Jr. Troopa has sprouted wings! You won't be able to use hammer, so just use Mario's power bounce and Parakary's shell shot and the battle is yours. The Master Tough battle, that is all to be said. Right now is a good time to face the master. Use Bow and her smack while using Mario's best attacks. The Master can use Kung Fu on you. So just do your best. Anti-Guy Here are the options: 1. Fight Anti-Guy. Anti Guy is incredibly hard with high power and hp. You will want to use lots of healing items. 2. Come back later and give him a lemon candy and he will give you the Power Plus Badge without a fight. 3. Forget about it. Big Lantern Ghost This boss is very unique, for you can only attack him in the light. The trick is you have to attack the lantern enough so it shines to see the ghost. Bow's smack is the best to use. Once the ghost is shown, attack it with your best moves and you should win. General Guy/ Shy Squad/ Shy Stilts/ Shy Stacks This is a very long battle, so get ready. General Guy controls the whole battle. First, he send out the Shy Squad, which is a bunch of shy guys bunched togather. You better attack them quickly for they will attack you dependig on how many of them are there. Use Mario's best attacks and Watt to beat them. Next comes the Shy Stilts, which is Shy Guys on Stilts from Yoshi's Island. Just keep jumping on them and they should fall from thier poles. Next, the shy stacks, a bunch of shy guys on top of each other. Once again, use you most powerful jump attacks and Watt's Electro Dash. And Finally after that comes General Guy with the large tank. You have to attack the light bulb first to prevent electricution. Since the tank has such high defense, just hammer it and use electro dash to beat him. he also throws large bombs, so prepare for that. Fuzzipede This battle is held inside a whale's belly. Having Watt as your partner just attack him with Watt's attacks and Mario's items and you should win this easy battle. Lava Piranha Now this is a hard battle. Once you encounter the piranha, you will have to beat Two lava buda and the piranha himself. Keep attacking the buds to stun them so they dont attack you and they go all out on the large one. You will then collect your star points, but then they will come back out of the lava on fire. They are now weak to water and ice. So you should use a snowman doll if you have one, Sushi's tidal wave, her squirt, and other water/ice attacks. Star storm comes in handy too. All these attacks take away whopping amounts of hp, so it should not be too hard. Jr. Troopa When you battle Jr. Troopa, he will be tired from swimming and have only 20 hp left. Equipt the spike shield badge if you have it and use your attack items to damage him. Also use Parakary and his shell shot and you win. Kent C. Koopa This is one tough Koopa. He has 70 hp and 6 defence points, so you know it will be hard. What you have to do is have plenty of sllepy sheep with you and lullaby. First, use one of the two to put him to sleep, which might not work, so you have to be lucky. Then, he will be out for 4 turns. Quickly use your double jump attack on him to flip him over, and then go all out on him with your very best attacks. Parakary and his shell shot are very usefull. Repeat the process and you should win. Lakilester A harder version of lakitu. Just use your most powerful jump attacks and Parakary and the battle is yours. Huff N. Puff Huff N. Puff is no dout the hardest boss so far in the game. Whenever you attack him, Tuff Puffs will emerge. To counter this, Just use your mega jump attack and then use Lakilester's Spiny Surge to get rid of the tuff puffs. He also has a power up attack that does massive damage, so switch to Bow and use outta sight. Star Storm wouldn't hurt either. Super Blooper Basicly, all you need for this battle is the Zap Tap Badge/ Volt Shroom, Bow and her fan smack ability and Bow's Outta Sight. Equip the Zap Tap Badge so the mini bloopers don't hurt you, use your most powerfull attacks, and Bow's Fan Smack. Then use Outta Sight when Super Blooper charges up. Easy battle if you are prepared. Jr. Troopa This time, Jr. Troopa has a wand, no spike no wings. He has high attack power and hp. Just use your most ultra powerfull attacks against Jr. Troopa and you win. Monstar Just keep attacking in this easy battle. Crystal King An absolutely hard and long boss battle. Crystal King can summon 3 crystal bits to attack you, so defeat them. The Crystal King also has large attacks, so beware. After a while, he can restore 20 hp and split himself into three, where one of them is real. The recommended items are fire flower, which can attack all enemies and is stong against ice, and thunder rage. Star storm is also good. keep doing this until you win. The Master this is the last time you fight in the dogo. The Master will be yellow with yellow mist around him too. Use the zap tap badge, and bombette as your partner. The zap tap disrupts The master's combo and Bombette has a huge bomb attack if you leveled her up. Just do this and you win. 3 Anti-Guy's Getting 3 answers wrong on bowser's second door will lead you to three anti-guys. Equip Bow, for she has fan smack which can take away 12 hp. Also, equipt the zap tap badge. And also, use your absolutely most powerfull attacks to win. Jr. Troopa This is the last battle with Jr. Troopa. He can now transform into his previous forms, so i reccommend parakary since he will fly up. Also, equipt the spike shield badge. And use your best attacks, while using plenty of healing items and you should win. Bowser 1 Yes, you are now up against the one and only bowser. You are in the same room you met peach in in the beggining of the game. You have Star Beam now, so you can overcome Bowser's Star Rod. So with that out of the way, attack him like you mean it! Don't hold back on your fp, for you should have plenty healing items. You can use a party member of your choice here. Equip your best badges too. After all this, you should win. Bowser 2-WARNING! Minor spoliers After you beat Bowser, he will be tired out and Kamek will use the star rod to make bowser twice as bigger and more powerfull. He then heads up to the roof, awaiting you. He and Kamek have created a stadium for the battle. Now in this battle, when he uses the star rod to become invincible, use star beam. But, it doesnt work! Bowser is too powerfull. The only thing to do now is watch. Then, the story will switch to Kamek, Peach and Twink. Peach and twink will have to battle Kamek! It is a story battle, and twink battles. After you win, you will get peach beam. Then you return with the battle with Mario vs. Bowser. Bowser 3 FINAL Ok, now THIS is it. I hope you are stored on healing items, because this battle is intensly hard. First, use Peach Beam on Bowser to counter his Star Rod. Have out one of your best party members, and go all out on him every turn. He has many attacks, including a flame-breath attack, a claw swipe which makes you poisoned unless you use the action command and various star rod attacks. Like I said before, use your extremely powerfull attacks and use items like ultra shroom and jammin jelly to heal you. Once in a while, Bowser will heal a frustarting 30 hp, which seems like a lot, but you can drain it back down. This may take more than 1 try. Rerember to equip the right badges and have the right healing items before the battle. After a while he should finally fall and you will win. Enjoy the ending!
