| LEVEL 38: SUPER MARIO BROS. 2 YOU: Choose (2 lives) COMPUTER: Mario, Luigi, Peach (2 lives each) Just like on the some of the other stages with Mario and Co., you can make the computer jump in the pit by hanging out in it yourself. Jump in the pit, and jump out again at the last second. I was able to completely KO Peach and Luigi in about 20 seconds one time with this strategy. If you feel too cheap doing this, you're just going to have to be really good at brawling. Now's your chance to laugh at the computer, though, so I say take advantage of it! It's going to have its way with you plenty of times in later events... LEVEL 39: JIGGLYPUFF LIVE! YOU: Jigglypuff (2 lives) COMPUTER: Three Jigglypuffs (2 lives each) This is a really annoying level. Do not play keep-away with them in an effort to wait for good items! I tried this technique and it didn't work too well. Jigglypuff gets knocked off too easily is not too quick. You often won't be able to get items first if you're busy flying away from the computer, and a lot of the items appear in capsule form so you'll need to fight for the items anyway. Instead, use smash moves and the FORWARD B move to beat them up while looking for some good items. If you manage to get a beam sword, umbrella, or a good Pokemon out of a ball, you'll have a big advantage. Make sure you get up using the B button if they're surrounding you. A lot of people told me that you can easily win this one by throwing the Jigglypuffs off the screen. I don't actually like doing this, but it could work pretty well if done right. Try it this way if my guide didn't help you. LEVEL 40: ALL-STAR MATCH 4 YOU: Choose (2 lives) COMPUTER: Marth, Luigi, Jigglypuff, MewTwo, Mr. Game and Watch (1 life each) The first battle with Marth is not too hard except you have to make sure you lure him to one side of the level so you can knock him off quicker. There is a time limit here. Luigi might give you problems, but sometimes he jumps in the pit for some reason. The computer just loves to do that on this stage. Don't count on him doing this, though. Instead, try to beat him up a little and the lure him to an edge. It's pretty easy to hit someone off the edge of the stage here. Hopefully it'll be you doing it to him. On to Jigglypuff... I played versus him two times and both times he never moved off the original platform. So he just got KOed in the pit. If he happens to actually go after you, it shouldn't be too tough cause he gets knocked out easily. MewTwo was also pretty easy for me. I was able to continually forward smash him. Every time he approached, BAM! Mr. Game and Watch has another stage where it's easy to knock guys off of. I like to run at him and attack, then smash him away, and then run at him again and smahs him again, etc. Eventually you'll smash him so far that he'll either get KOed or you can just jump kick him off and end it. LEVEL 41: EN GARDE! YOU: Marth (2 lives) COMPUTER: Link (2 lives) I didn't find this battle to be nearly as hard at the previous matches against Link (SEVEN YEARS and LINK'S ADVENTURE) but it's still not a cakewalk. You can often hit Link a lot of unanswered times with Marth's FORWARD B move, but this is kind of weak so don't rely on it exclusively. Link's main weakness is that he will roll right into your smash moves. I would do a forward smash, keep it charged for a second until he'd jump or roll right into it. So if you knock him away for a second, start charging your move and hope he does the same thing for you. Overall, this battle isn't too bad compared to some of the fights you've had to endure so far, at least it wasn't for me. LEVEL 42: TROUBLE KING 2 YOU: Luigi (2 lives) COMPUTER: Giant Bowser (2 lives) It's hard to actually KO Bowser here by hitting him, since he's big, but it's easy to make him fall in the pit! When the battle first starts, get Bowser to come down on the arm with you (he'll come to you) and just keep using weak A button moves. If you're high enough on the arm, you'll get him to fall in the pit. Sometimes you can also get Bowser to just stand there until he's in the pit as well. I beat this level two times and both times it was because Bowser just fell into the pit like that. If you can't seem to get him to do either of these things, just try to survive long enough until the stage is too complicated for him. He'll fall off sooner or later. Don't be afraid to continually reset the match if it starts off badly for you. |
