Much as I enjoyed using ZSNES, that is a garbage emulator and it had freezing issues when equipping stuff.

I had considered focusing on specific stats instead of going for the bonus stats, and we might try to focus on getting Mallow more magic at some point. Mario I feel like is a good enough all around character that we can just go with the bonus stat option. Like you said, it doesn't make a huge difference, but it's always fun to try and min/max your party.
It does make a huge difference. Sticking to Hammer for several levels makes regular enemy attacks do no damage for most of the game and makes your Jumps hit like an angry god. The game got really boring that way since the few enemy mages did any real damage.

I defeated the optional super bosses like they were chumps as soon as they were available. It feels like Jump is a physical attack unless you can show me what a star only bonus character looks like.

I would love to see what an all star run would look like. I wasn't supposed to beat that other boss, but he kept making dumb mistakes and I won by clutch. Magic defense is the most important stat, because of the inability to defend against it.

Those shoes are the best item in the game. Also helps clothe him since he is only wearing a shirt and no pants.

Poisoning bosses messed up the game and the poison damage isn't even worth it. Poisoning enemies would be worthless.
Have you tried Snes9x?

I think they censored Croco's dialog in a rerelease. Mario games are too hardcore for some audiences.

I think you could kill Mack's group if Mallow had more magic attack boosts. I think the Thunderbolt attack powers up by the end of the animation or after the sound.

Nooooo don't use the Pure Waters! You're supposed to hoard and then sell them!! They go for like 50 coins a pop!!!
They are a common enough drop to consider spending that money on the most expensive stuff and then resell that when you need more money.

They both last forever and can cause way more damage than Jump, with fewer uses.

That goomba stomp game is not RNG so much as loving over the player. I tried to game it and there were times where no gold goombas would show up.
Mario has two reactions when you say "no" when saving the game 10 and 25 times.

I am going with mini-games being determined on map load. You can always save state on the map and beat everything and save state before entering that map and kill everything.

Those Greapers are a good enough reason to increase your magic boosts and you could have one shot enemies with fire. It did remind me how boring your equipment selection is when you don't have elemental resist or absorb armor.

The guide says the Forest Maze has the special mushrooms, but maybe the game is simple enough to overlook that and you totally should fill your inventory with store bought shrooms.


The Yari is a Japanese spear that was quite popular in wartime in the middle of the last millennium and very effective against cavalry. The long reach made it apparent how much better it was compared to swords as a main weapon and there are about two dozen variations. These spears were organized in lines and layered three deep and used as a wall of metal spikes when in place or for charging into large bodies of soldiers.

Those huge doors in Belome's temple look like waffles.
The spiked balls that Spikes cough up, look like sea urchins. Ignoring the hardware limitations on the NES. They live in places surrounded by water or ice and I thought they hunted sea creatures to survive.

Looking forward to seeing you get utterly destroyed, but don't let that stop you from fighting his third and final form. If you did stick with attack or magic level ups the whole game, you would have enough to beat him in his last form at this point. I easily beat him when I got there. Bring a buffbot.
Each Jump has its own counter to increasing in power. A full power Jump is stronger than base Super Jump, but not after a few dozen Supers with a couple successful jumps. If you can regularly get 10 jumps each use, you are doing real well.
