Hidden chests
Hidden chests can be found at the following locations:
Equip the indicated armor for best effect with the following characters.
Find the Rare Scarf and the Lazy Shell armor (not the weapon). Equip them both on the same character. That person will only take 1 HP from most attacks, although some of Smithy's magic attacks can do 12-48 HP and the Axem Ranger Breaker Beam can do 6-36 HP depending on the person's level. Note: Equipping both the Lazy Shell armor and the Rare Scarf will drop the offense a lot -- against strong enemies that character may only be able do 1 HP of damage. Try equipping Toadstool with those items so that she can take less damage and keep the other characters healed.
Easy freebies
When using an item, press [X] immediately after the stars around the character start to fade. Your chances of getting a freebies will be increased.
Easy experience
For this trick to work, you must give everyone in the party EXCEPT Bowser only the Star (Magic) Panel at the level up. Give Bowser only the Hammer (Attack) Panel. By doing this, Bowser will have unsurpassed strength. However, doing this will give Bowser horrible magic. But it will not matter, considering the only time that you really need his magic is when you are fighting Johnny (use Poison Gas on him). Upon getting the Safety Ring in the Sunken Ship, equip Bowser with it to make up for his low magic. Complete the game up to where you get the Lazy Shell (Weapon and Armor). Equip Bowser with the Lazy Shell armor and Mario with the Lazy Shell weapon. Also, give Mario the Safety Ring, as Bowser will have no more use for it because the Lazy Shell will give him the same protection. From there, fight Jinx if you have not already do so. After you defeat him, give Bowser the Jinx Belt to recover some of his lost attack power. This will make all magic with the exception of the "Dark Star" spell do only about 1 to 4 HP of damage to Bowser. Dark Star will do about 89 HP. Physical attacks, even when not blocked, will do only 1 HP most of the time. The best equip for the others will be to give them their best weapons (Frying Pan, Star Gun, Sonic Symbol, Drill Claw, and Lazy Shell); as well as the Legendary Armor (except Heal Shell) purchased from Croco in Bowser's Keep. The accessories to make this strategy complete are as follows: Geno: Saftey Badge; Mallow: Rare Scarf; and Princess: Zoom Shoes. Bowser and Mario will have the Jinx Belt and the Safety Ring.
Better Geno boost
Press [Y] prior to the attack up notice. You will hear a different sound. This will allow attack and defense up instead of only attack.
Better Geno damage
If you time Geno's Whirl attack correctly, it will take out 9999 damage.
Best weapons
You can find the powerful weapons for each character except for Mario and The Princess in Bowser's Castle. Mario's best weapon is the Lazy Shell. To obtain it, you must first have the seeds and fertilizer. You get the seed after fighting the plant in Bean Valley to get into Nimbus Land. After it has been defeated, you will see a sheet of paper fall to the ground. Go to it and then you will be asked if you want to take it. Do so. Then after you defeat Queen Valentina, return back to Nimbus Land. Go out to where all the shops are and move to the far right. Somewhere at that location is a invisible track to walk on. Go down it and to find a Shy Away. He will give you the fertilizer if you let him go. Next, go to Rose Town. Move in the same direction you are facing when you entered Rose Town. In the back you should see an opening. Enter and you will see a house. Enter it and talk to the man. After the conversation, a bean stalk will grow. Climb up and get the Lazy Shell. You will also get armor called Lazy Shell.
The Princess best weapon is the Frying Pan. Go to Molesville and enter the shop. You should see a man wearing a blue hat behind the counter. You first have to buy two items from him before you can buy the Frying Pan. The first one cost 100 coins, the next is 200, and the Frying Pan is 300.
9999 HP
Put Geno in your party, and acquire his "Geno Whirl" technique. Press [Y] immediately after the "whirl" leaves the screen, and a crackling sound will be heard. Note: This also may be done with Bosses and mini-Bosses such as Czar Dragon, but is difficult to execute.
Super jump extra
If you pay close attention to the rhythm of the background music when facing a Boss, you can hear low bass. Press [Y] with this beat while doing the super jump and you can jump for a very long time.
Level raising
Use the following strategy to balance out your characters' strengths. When a character reaches an even numbered level (2, 4, 6), choose the HP bonus. When a character reaches an odd numbered level (3, 7, 9), choose the offense/defense bonus. When a character reaches a level that is a multiple of 5 (5, 10, 15), choose the magic bonus. This will balance your character's strengths very well.
Make sure you have the Exp. Booster (buy from Frogfucious' student in Seaside Town) and Lucky Jewel (buy for 100 coins from the explorer in Moleville.) Equip your team as follows:
Note: This trick requires a controller with a auto-fire feature. After you defeat Croco and get Mallow's grandpa's coin back, go to Mushroom Kingdom. You will find a group of Shy Guys on pogo sticks (their names are Shyster). Make sure you are about level 6, and are equipped with the Hammer (Mario), Shirt (Mario), Jump Shoes (Mario), Pants (Mallow), and Antidote Pin (Mallow). Stand in front of the door of the castle, You will see a group of Shysters coming out of it. Set the auto-fire to [A], so that when the Shysters collide with you , the battles will be fought automatically. Keep the system on to automatically get levels. Keep in mind that the maximum level is 30. You do not really have to worry about getting a game over while the game runs unattended -- when you level up, you will fully recover automatically. However, when you level up, you will get extra HP instead of choosing what you want, but every stat goes up anyway.
Go to an area that has a star inside of a treasure box, such as the ones in Bandit's Way or the sea. Save before hitting the box. Hit the box and go on a rampage on the all available enemies. You should get a few level ups. Next, fight any remaining enemies and die, so that you will be transported to where you saved the game. Although you have died, you will still kept the level ups and all the enemies and the star in the box are still there. Keep repeating this until you get to the desired level.
Use the following trick to build a stronger team for the first Boss. After you defeat the crocodile, go to the Mushroom Kingdom. Follow the toad that is being chased. Defeat all the enemies chasing him. He will thank you, and give you something. Keep doing this until you are in Peach's room. Talk to someone in there and, he will ask you to take a nap. Answer "Yes". This will completely heal you. Stand in the line of enemies and battle until you have very little health. Go into the room and take a nap to get refreshed. Repeat this as many times as needed to get a strong team.
Belome's Temple: Item room
At the end of the Belome's Temple, there is a room full of items that you do not enter, therefore Belome does not leave. Go to Monstro Town and look for the key on top of the hill. Enter the door under the key and talk with the blue block behind the table five times. Skirt around the house to see a fallen key. Collect it and go to the Belome's Temple. Return to that room again and give the key for Belome to eat. You may now enter the room and collect many items.
Booster's Hill: Maximum FP
After clearing Booster's Tower, you will go to Booster's Hill. When you are chasing Booster, try to touch Toadstool six or more times. Once you clear the level, you can return at anytime (if you got 7 flowers, which are at the end of Booster's Hill). Eventually, you will get 99 FP.
Booster Tower: Original 8-bit Mario
Walk behind the curtain in Booster Tower to appear as the original 8-bit version of Mario.
Booster's Tower: Get a Star Egg
Get the bright card from the Knife Guy in Booster's Tower. Find the hidden casino and talk to the owner. Talk to him again until he says to play the "Look the Other Way" game. If you win enough times, he will give you a Rock Candy. If you win even more, about 100 times, he will give you a reusable battle item called the "Star Egg". It does 100 damage against everyone you battle, and you can always use it again. This is especially helpful against Culex and his Crystals.
Booster's Tower: Samus doll
When you are in Booster's Tower hiding from him and the Snifits behind the curtains, look at Booster's toybox. When the Snifit picks up the Toadstool doll, you can see a Samus doll in the corner.
Forest Maze: Easy frog coins
Go to the Forest Maze and jump on the centipede. Each jump will result in a coin, with eight jumps giving you a frog coin.

Land's End: Level up
When you arrive underground in Land's End there will be two stars, one in the treasure box at the save point, and another that can be bought for 400 coins. Get the first star and you should have enough time to knock everyone out up until you fall down the hole with the Gecko creatures. Look for the man behind the boxes and buy a Star. You should also knock out all the creatures. Whichever three party members you use, un-equip them to the point where they have absolutely nothing. Fight Belome and intentionally die. This will return you to the save point where you can get two new Stars. Repeat this process as needed to gain levels. It is recommended that Mario is equipped with the Exp. Booster (found in Seaside Town, Elder's House, upstairs, 22 frog coins) so he benefits the most.
Land's End: Armor
In the cliff, try to get the time in from 11:50 to 12:00 seconds to receive an item for armor.

At Land's End, the Koopa Troops are alongside the big cliff. Go up the cliff in 11 seconds or less to get five frog coins. If your time is under 11 minutes and 49 seconds you might get one frog coin. This may be repeated as many times as needed.
Marrymore: Free items
Go to Marrymore and with only 310 gold. Sleep in the Hotel as many times as needed. After returning downstairs, you will owe money and end up working as a bellhop. However, the guests give you good items, including flower boxes. After collecting enough items, get your gold back by using the "Unlimited money" trick.
Marrymore: Bellhop save
You can save on the bellhop job to increase your chances of getting tips from customers by jumping on the yellow female mushroom next to the save and jumping directly to the center of the save box from her head. When you return from the save screen, the owner will tell you "Keep working! You're not getting any breaks!" You can now keep returning to the point where you are a bellhop any time, making it easier to get tips. Note: Any jobs already completed will still be completed.

Try to walk up to him. He will stops you, talk, then try to break down the door. Run into the door with the Snifit at the same time. Almost the same thing will happen in the next room with Bowser. After that will be a small sequence where Snifits find some of the Princess' belongings or "wedding gear". You will catch up to the Snifits and they give you the things they found. The crown is on top of Booster's head. Quickly take all the objects to get a special surprise.

Monstro Town: Mushrooms
When you go to the item shop in Monstro Town, do not buy mushrooms from the little Goombas. They give you 30 HP, but they also turn you into mushrooms.
Monstro Town: Fight against Culex from Final Fantasy 2
Go to Moleville and buy Fireworks. Talk to the girl behind the boxes and trade the Fireworks for the Shiny Stone. Go to Monstro Town and enter in the door that it previously closed to fight Culex. Note: You will lose the Shiny Stone.
Monstro Town: Defeating Culex
Get the Lazy Shell Weapon and Armor. You can get this by bringing the seed and fertilizer to the man in Rosetown in his house. He is located in the back of the town by going through a path. Give him the seed and fertilizer. He will plant it and you will receive the items. Next, put Princess in your party and give her the Lazy Shell Armor. Give Mario the Lazy Shell Weapon and Jinx Belt. Place Geno in your party. Make sure the party is level 25 or higher. Before fighting Culex make sure you are stocked on Rock Candies and Kerokerocolas.(buy them when you check into the suite in Marrymore.) Then, have Geno and Mario attack the Crystals and have Princess heal and revive them. Princess will probably never be killed because the Shell Armor is very powerful. Use items as needed. Rock Candies will help destroy Culex and the Crystals. You will get the Quartz Charm and Culex will leave this world after the battle.
Keep attacking Culex with normal attacks. Do not worry about the crystals. Culex only has about 3000 HP. If you defeat just the dragon, the Crystals will explode after about two turns.
When in Moleville after you get the Star and return Dyna and Mite to their parents, go to the house two houses to the left. If you have 500 coins you can buy a firework from the adult there. Immediately next to the house will be a little girl and her "purtend store". She will offer you a shiny stone for your firework. Accept the offer. When you get to Monstro Town, go to the door that has been sealed. It will say the stone is reacting to the door. The seal will now be broken. When you go to Bean Valley after you defeat Smilax a Shy Away will fly away and drop a note. Read it. It will say it is a Seed. Take it. Then in Nimbus Land, after you defeat Valentina , go all the way to the left of the screen, near the edge of the cloud. Somewhere along the side there will be an invisible path with a Shy Away all the way out. He will offer you a Fertilizer if you let him leave. Take it. Then, go to Rose Town where Bowser was shooting arrows. Go all the way to the back of the town. There will be a path. Follow it. There will be a house with an old man inside. Give him the Seed. He will ramble on very quickly, enough to make Mario dizzy. Then, give him the Fertilizer. He will ramble on again. He will then put the Seed and Fertilizer in his pot. A beanstalk will grow. Go outside his house and climb up the side. You will reach a cloud with two chests. They will both be a Lazy Shell. One is a weapon for Mario, another is armor for any character. Equip them both on Mario. Go back to Monstro Town and engage Culex in battle. You will find that you are invulnerable to most of his and his crystal's attacks. Only attack him and when he dies, his crystals will die. You will get 244 experience points. He will reward you with a Quartz Charm. After you leave his door it will disappear. You can leave the shell on Mario whenever you fight anyone.
Give Mario the Jinx Belt, Lazy Shell armor and weapon. Have Geno and Bowser as your other two characters. If they faint, do not always revive them. Revive Geno once in awhile to use his Geno Flash move. Bring some Mushrooms and Rock Candy to speed it up. The following moves will do about 50 points of damage: Dark Star - Culex; Storm - Yellow Crystal; Culex's striking attack (difficult to block).
Use the following trick to defeat Culex without the Lazy Shell Armor/Weapon. Have Peach and Mallow on your team, equip Peach with a Trueform Pin, and everybody else with the best armor and defense items possible. Having some Crystalline (ally defense booster found in Tadpole Pond) would help. Gather as many Rock Candies and Ice Bombs as you could carry and plenty of FP restorers (if you have 99 FP, Royal Syrups are recommended). Use Peach's Wake Up special when someone dies, and use the Wake Ups only on Peach. Have Mario use his Superflame on the Water Crystal, as Mallow uses his Shocker attack on the Earth Crystal. Have Peach use the Rocky Candies and after four Rock Candy attacks, the Wind Crystal should die (it only has 800 hp). When the Water crystal dies, have Peach use the Ice Bombs, Mario goes for the Fire Crystal with his normal attack, and Mallow still uses Shocker on the Earth Crystal until it dies. Then. switch to using Mallow's Snowman special to further damage the Fire Crystal. Use Peach's Group Hug when needed. If Peach is dead, use Mallow's HP Rain when desperately needed. Once the last Crystal dies, go after Culex with your normal attacks. By now he should have run out of FP and is helpless.
Have Mario at level 21, Geno at level 30, and Peach or Mallow at level 25. Mario only needs to physically attack with the Lazy Shell. Geno can cast Geno Beam, Blast (recommended), or Flash. Whoever you chose as your healer can heal or dispense Rock Candy.

Before you battle Smithy, make sure you have at least six Mid Mushrooms, six Maple and/or Royal Syrups, and that Princess Toadstool is one of the three characters in the battle party. You should also make sure that your party is at least level 20 or 21. When you are battling Smithy underground, attack his head, not his body. This is the only known way to defeat him.
Get the Lazy Shells going with the gardener with the seed and fertilizer. There is a transparent bridge in Nimbus Land. When Smithy is in ''human'' form, attack him and cure your partners with Toadstool. He then transforms in a robot that converts into things. Attack his head, depending on his weakness:
Get to the part in the game where Booster kidnaps the Princess and takes her to marry him at Marrymore. When Mario and Bowser come busting through the door and knock off all of Toadstools "wedding gear", you are told that if your fast enough getting Peach's items back you will get something nice. Do so to get a kiss from the Princess. If you are not so fast, you will get a kiss from Bowser. If you are slower you will get a kiss from Booster. If you are very slow, you will get a kiss from both Bowser and Booster.
Use Princess early
You can usually use the Princess after you have been to the chancellor. However, you can leave the Mushroom Kingdom and fight using the Princess before you even go into the castle. But, you still have to go there anyway if you want to continue the game.
Recovery in Princess' Room
Go to Princess' Room and walk over to the top of the room where there is a chair. Press [A] and walk into and around it. to search. If done correctly, you will find an item of the Princess. Her grandmother will give you a Flower Tab. After you have defeated Croco for the first time, the grandmother will be standing near the bed. Talk to her she will recover your HP and FP.
Easy Rock Candy
Reach the end of the game. After defeating Smithy's two goons and their giant snake, wait until "machine made" replicas of Yaridovich fall from the sky. If you can defeat one in 20 seconds or less, you might get a Rock Candy. Repeat this as many times as needed.
20 coins and free H.P. recovery
There is a area immediately before you find Bowser for the first time (but you do not have him as a partner) which is filled with five treasure boxes. There are Bandits and Shy Guys there trying to stop you. Try to uncover everything in each treasure box. Four of the treasure boxes contains five coins and one of the treasure boxes has a Mushroom. Exit the area and reenter to collect them again.
Quartz Charm
After defeating Culex in Monstro Town, he gives you the Quartz Charm. On the Equip menu, the only information you get is "Shining Source Of Power". Once equipped, it does not seem to boost anything, but it does. Enter a battle and try using a Rock Candy with that person. It will do 300 points of damage instead of 200. Wearing the Quartz Charm is equal to always having the "Attack Up!" and the "Defense Up!" boosts in battle. So basically, you fight at 150% all of the time.
Soprano Card
Use the following steps to get the best card for the Frog Emporium. Go to Toadofsky, and perform this melody first on the tadpoles:
Star Egg
Defeat Grate Guy in the "Look at the Other Way" game 100 times.
Mario acts like the Smithy Sword
Go to any save box and jump on it. Make sure you have saved your game beforehand and a open save slot or a slot that you can overwrite. Try to save over another slot and the game will ask you if you want to overwrite the file. Answer "No" ten to twenty times, then choose "Yes". Mario will bend down or act like the Smithy Sword.
Glitch: Walk through door
Use the following glitch to walk through a door in the Mushroom Kingdom. Find the girl that can make you dizzy if you jump on her head. You also must have Bowser. Walk up to the girl and her house (left). Open the door and talk to her. Bowser will scare her into her house. When this normally happens, she will open the door to get in, and then close it behind her. But since the door is open, she "re-opens" it and then closes it. You can now walk through the door without it opening.
Glitch: Go through Toad
In Mushroom Kingdom, inside the first residential house at the left (coming from Mushroom Way), will be a Toad jumping on his bed in the second floor. Jump on top of that Toad, then continue to jump on top of him until you are through him. To get out, simply jump until you are on top of him.
Glitch: Standing Mallow
When you are in the Coal Mines for the first time, have Mario jump on a trampoline that smiles. Croco should appear and take your money. Chase him and get into a fight. Mallow must be KOed for this to work. Weaken Croco so that he takes your items. If Mallow is already taken out when he does this, Mallow should be standing up even though he is taken out.
When you are fighting Croco in the Coal Mines, have him KO Mallow. After you have Mallow KO'd, fight Croco until he talks. Croco will take your items by running into Mallow. After this happens, Mallow will appear to be standing, even thought he is KO'd.
Glitch: Ignorant Piranha Plant
In Bean Valley, there should be a place where a Shy Guy is watering Piranha Plants. Jump on the head (not the center of the head, but to a side) of an unwatered one. This can be difficult, since they have small heads when not watered. Wait, and eventually the Shy Guy will reach that plant. If done correctly, when he waters the plant it will grow and start biting. However, it will not notice Mario. Note: It is more effective if you jump on the head in a way so that when the plant grows, the back of its head is facing Mario's back. When you jump, a battle will start.
Glitch: Walk on water
In the Sunken Ship, find the area of water in the ship with the two enemy fish. Jump on a fish and defeat him. You will then walk on the water. Note: To get back to normal jump back on shore.
If the "Couldn't Run!" message appears, press [Y] and you will be allowed to run.
Hidden chests
Hidden chests can be found at the following locations:
1-3: Mushroom KingdomBest armor for characters
4: Bandits Way
5-6: Rose Town
7-12: Forest Maze
13-14: Pipe Vault
15: Yo Ster Island
16-17: Booster Pass
18-21: Booster Tower
22: Marrymore
23: Sunken Ship
24-29: Lands End
30: Monstro Town
31-33: Bean Valley
34-38: Nimbus Land
39: Factory
Equip the indicated armor for best effect with the following characters.
Mario: Lazy Shell, Super Suit, Attack ScarfAnother effective set-up is as follows.
Bowser: Drill Claw, Courage Shell, Amulet
Princess: Frying Pan, Lazy Shell, Jynx Belt
Geno: Star Gun, Work Pants, Safety Badge
Mallow: Sonic Cymbals, Legendary Pants, Safety Ring
Note: You can have either Princess (recommended) or Geno as your third person. If Geno is the third person, give him the Jynx Belt instead of giving it to the princess. Geno can either wear the Work Pants (recommended) or the Legendary Cape. The Work Pants will keep his attack up.
Mario: Lazy Shell, Super Jacket, Attack ScarfAnother effective set-up is as follows.
Mallow: Sonic Cymbals, Prince Pants, Safety Ring
Geno: Star Gun, Star Cape, Jinx Belt
Bowzer: Drill Claw, Heal Shell, Quartz Charm
Princess: Frying Pan, Lazy Shell, Rare Scarf
Note: Princess is not a fighter, and the Lazy Shell does not effect her magic abilities enough to make it useless. The Rare Scarf when combined with the Lazy Shell has most of the same effects as the Safety Ring.
Mario: Lazy ShellSuper armor
Princess: Metal Plate
Bowser: Drill Claw
Find the Rare Scarf and the Lazy Shell armor (not the weapon). Equip them both on the same character. That person will only take 1 HP from most attacks, although some of Smithy's magic attacks can do 12-48 HP and the Axem Ranger Breaker Beam can do 6-36 HP depending on the person's level. Note: Equipping both the Lazy Shell armor and the Rare Scarf will drop the offense a lot -- against strong enemies that character may only be able do 1 HP of damage. Try equipping Toadstool with those items so that she can take less damage and keep the other characters healed.
Easy freebies
When using an item, press [X] immediately after the stars around the character start to fade. Your chances of getting a freebies will be increased.
Easy experience
For this trick to work, you must give everyone in the party EXCEPT Bowser only the Star (Magic) Panel at the level up. Give Bowser only the Hammer (Attack) Panel. By doing this, Bowser will have unsurpassed strength. However, doing this will give Bowser horrible magic. But it will not matter, considering the only time that you really need his magic is when you are fighting Johnny (use Poison Gas on him). Upon getting the Safety Ring in the Sunken Ship, equip Bowser with it to make up for his low magic. Complete the game up to where you get the Lazy Shell (Weapon and Armor). Equip Bowser with the Lazy Shell armor and Mario with the Lazy Shell weapon. Also, give Mario the Safety Ring, as Bowser will have no more use for it because the Lazy Shell will give him the same protection. From there, fight Jinx if you have not already do so. After you defeat him, give Bowser the Jinx Belt to recover some of his lost attack power. This will make all magic with the exception of the "Dark Star" spell do only about 1 to 4 HP of damage to Bowser. Dark Star will do about 89 HP. Physical attacks, even when not blocked, will do only 1 HP most of the time. The best equip for the others will be to give them their best weapons (Frying Pan, Star Gun, Sonic Symbol, Drill Claw, and Lazy Shell); as well as the Legendary Armor (except Heal Shell) purchased from Croco in Bowser's Keep. The accessories to make this strategy complete are as follows: Geno: Saftey Badge; Mallow: Rare Scarf; and Princess: Zoom Shoes. Bowser and Mario will have the Jinx Belt and the Safety Ring.
Better Geno boost
Press [Y] prior to the attack up notice. You will hear a different sound. This will allow attack and defense up instead of only attack.
Better Geno damage
If you time Geno's Whirl attack correctly, it will take out 9999 damage.
Best weapons
You can find the powerful weapons for each character except for Mario and The Princess in Bowser's Castle. Mario's best weapon is the Lazy Shell. To obtain it, you must first have the seeds and fertilizer. You get the seed after fighting the plant in Bean Valley to get into Nimbus Land. After it has been defeated, you will see a sheet of paper fall to the ground. Go to it and then you will be asked if you want to take it. Do so. Then after you defeat Queen Valentina, return back to Nimbus Land. Go out to where all the shops are and move to the far right. Somewhere at that location is a invisible track to walk on. Go down it and to find a Shy Away. He will give you the fertilizer if you let him go. Next, go to Rose Town. Move in the same direction you are facing when you entered Rose Town. In the back you should see an opening. Enter and you will see a house. Enter it and talk to the man. After the conversation, a bean stalk will grow. Climb up and get the Lazy Shell. You will also get armor called Lazy Shell.
The Princess best weapon is the Frying Pan. Go to Molesville and enter the shop. You should see a man wearing a blue hat behind the counter. You first have to buy two items from him before you can buy the Frying Pan. The first one cost 100 coins, the next is 200, and the Frying Pan is 300.
9999 HP
Put Geno in your party, and acquire his "Geno Whirl" technique. Press [Y] immediately after the "whirl" leaves the screen, and a crackling sound will be heard. Note: This also may be done with Bosses and mini-Bosses such as Czar Dragon, but is difficult to execute.
Super jump extra
If you pay close attention to the rhythm of the background music when facing a Boss, you can hear low bass. Press [Y] with this beat while doing the super jump and you can jump for a very long time.
Level raising
Use the following strategy to balance out your characters' strengths. When a character reaches an even numbered level (2, 4, 6), choose the HP bonus. When a character reaches an odd numbered level (3, 7, 9), choose the offense/defense bonus. When a character reaches a level that is a multiple of 5 (5, 10, 15), choose the magic bonus. This will balance your character's strengths very well.
Make sure you have the Exp. Booster (buy from Frogfucious' student in Seaside Town) and Lucky Jewel (buy for 100 coins from the explorer in Moleville.) Equip your team as follows:
Mario: Lazy Shell, Fuzzy Shirt (or higher), Exp. BoosterEnter the fight with Culex. Use the Lucky Jewel sometime during the fight, and defeat him and the four crystals. When you win, you should have 244 experience points, and no coins. Then, play the Yoshi Bonus Game. Guess correctly to earn 488 experience points.
Geno: Hand Cannon (or higher), Fuzzy Cape (or higher), Safety Ring
Toadstool: War Fan (or higher), Lazy Shell, Jinx Belt
Note: This trick requires a controller with a auto-fire feature. After you defeat Croco and get Mallow's grandpa's coin back, go to Mushroom Kingdom. You will find a group of Shy Guys on pogo sticks (their names are Shyster). Make sure you are about level 6, and are equipped with the Hammer (Mario), Shirt (Mario), Jump Shoes (Mario), Pants (Mallow), and Antidote Pin (Mallow). Stand in front of the door of the castle, You will see a group of Shysters coming out of it. Set the auto-fire to [A], so that when the Shysters collide with you , the battles will be fought automatically. Keep the system on to automatically get levels. Keep in mind that the maximum level is 30. You do not really have to worry about getting a game over while the game runs unattended -- when you level up, you will fully recover automatically. However, when you level up, you will get extra HP instead of choosing what you want, but every stat goes up anyway.
Go to an area that has a star inside of a treasure box, such as the ones in Bandit's Way or the sea. Save before hitting the box. Hit the box and go on a rampage on the all available enemies. You should get a few level ups. Next, fight any remaining enemies and die, so that you will be transported to where you saved the game. Although you have died, you will still kept the level ups and all the enemies and the star in the box are still there. Keep repeating this until you get to the desired level.
Use the following trick to build a stronger team for the first Boss. After you defeat the crocodile, go to the Mushroom Kingdom. Follow the toad that is being chased. Defeat all the enemies chasing him. He will thank you, and give you something. Keep doing this until you are in Peach's room. Talk to someone in there and, he will ask you to take a nap. Answer "Yes". This will completely heal you. Stand in the line of enemies and battle until you have very little health. Go into the room and take a nap to get refreshed. Repeat this as many times as needed to get a strong team.
Belome's Temple: Item room
At the end of the Belome's Temple, there is a room full of items that you do not enter, therefore Belome does not leave. Go to Monstro Town and look for the key on top of the hill. Enter the door under the key and talk with the blue block behind the table five times. Skirt around the house to see a fallen key. Collect it and go to the Belome's Temple. Return to that room again and give the key for Belome to eat. You may now enter the room and collect many items.
Booster's Hill: Maximum FP
After clearing Booster's Tower, you will go to Booster's Hill. When you are chasing Booster, try to touch Toadstool six or more times. Once you clear the level, you can return at anytime (if you got 7 flowers, which are at the end of Booster's Hill). Eventually, you will get 99 FP.
Booster Tower: Original 8-bit Mario
Walk behind the curtain in Booster Tower to appear as the original 8-bit version of Mario.
Booster's Tower: Get a Star Egg
Get the bright card from the Knife Guy in Booster's Tower. Find the hidden casino and talk to the owner. Talk to him again until he says to play the "Look the Other Way" game. If you win enough times, he will give you a Rock Candy. If you win even more, about 100 times, he will give you a reusable battle item called the "Star Egg". It does 100 damage against everyone you battle, and you can always use it again. This is especially helpful against Culex and his Crystals.
Booster's Tower: Samus doll
When you are in Booster's Tower hiding from him and the Snifits behind the curtains, look at Booster's toybox. When the Snifit picks up the Toadstool doll, you can see a Samus doll in the corner.
Forest Maze: Easy frog coins
Go to the Forest Maze and jump on the centipede. Each jump will result in a coin, with eight jumps giving you a frog coin.
Forest Maze: Prizes
To get the prizes, follow the maze directions from Mario's perspective, not yours. When you get it right, you will reach a single tree trunk. Go down to collect the prizes.
Forest Maze: Donkey Kong reference
When you encounter into some evil villains they might a gorilla with them that resembles Donkey Kong.
Land's End: Level up
When you arrive underground in Land's End there will be two stars, one in the treasure box at the save point, and another that can be bought for 400 coins. Get the first star and you should have enough time to knock everyone out up until you fall down the hole with the Gecko creatures. Look for the man behind the boxes and buy a Star. You should also knock out all the creatures. Whichever three party members you use, un-equip them to the point where they have absolutely nothing. Fight Belome and intentionally die. This will return you to the save point where you can get two new Stars. Repeat this process as needed to gain levels. It is recommended that Mario is equipped with the Exp. Booster (found in Seaside Town, Elder's House, upstairs, 22 frog coins) so he benefits the most.
Land's End: Armor
In the cliff, try to get the time in from 11:50 to 12:00 seconds to receive an item for armor.
Lands End: Frog coins
If you jump on the head of an ant in the swirls three times in a row, you will get a frog coin on the last jump.
In Lands End, go to where the sky bridge challenge is located. Down below on the ground, walk over to the second "cliff". Jump into the dark spot. Keep walking until you get to the trampoline at the end. Jump on the trampoline to get cricket jam. Give it to Frogfucious to receive 10 frog coins.
At Land's End, the Koopa Troops are alongside the big cliff. Go up the cliff in 11 seconds or less to get five frog coins. If your time is under 11 minutes and 49 seconds you might get one frog coin. This may be repeated as many times as needed.
Marrymore: Free items
Go to Marrymore and with only 310 gold. Sleep in the Hotel as many times as needed. After returning downstairs, you will owe money and end up working as a bellhop. However, the guests give you good items, including flower boxes. After collecting enough items, get your gold back by using the "Unlimited money" trick.
Marrymore: Bellhop save
You can save on the bellhop job to increase your chances of getting tips from customers by jumping on the yellow female mushroom next to the save and jumping directly to the center of the save box from her head. When you return from the save screen, the owner will tell you "Keep working! You're not getting any breaks!" You can now keep returning to the point where you are a bellhop any time, making it easier to get tips. Note: Any jobs already completed will still be completed.
Marrymore: Bathrobe in suite
If you stay in the suite, go to where the bathrobes are hanging. Press [A] and the game will state that it is too small for you to wear.

Go to front door and Snifits will throw Raz and Rani out. Go and find the door that is hidden from view in back of church. Enter, it and go down the steps to enter the basement. The cooks (The "French" turtles) will be baking a cake. You can jump into the cake to annoy them if desired. Then, go up the other set of stairs and find the Snifit that is guarding the door. Try to walk up to him. He will stops you, talk, then try to break down the door. Run into the door with the Snifit at the same time. Almost the same thing will happen in the next room with Bowser. After that will be a small sequence where Snifits find some of the Princess' belongings or "wedding gear". You will catch up to the Snifits and they give you the things they found. The crown is on top of Booster's head. Quickly take all the objects to get a special surprise.
Marrymore: Easy money
Go to the Marrymore hotel. Tell the owner that you want to rest. Rest at the Suite for 200 coins. Once you arrive in the Suite room, ring the bell that is on the table nearby for room service. Buy as many Kerocola's as you can. Note: The Kerocola's there cost 150 coins. You may pay the toad the tip if desired. Rest, or exit the hotel. Talk to the owner, (three times if you rested) and say that you want to buy something. Sell all your Kerocola's that you bought. For each Kerocola you sell, you will receive 200 coins.
Marrymore: Save while you work
When you work at Marrymore hotel, you cannot go to the save location because the owner forces you to continue working.

Monstro Town: Fight against Culex from Final Fantasy 2
Go to Moleville and buy Fireworks. Talk to the girl behind the boxes and trade the Fireworks for the Shiny Stone. Go to Monstro Town and enter in the door that it previously closed to fight Culex. Note: You will lose the Shiny Stone.
Monstro Town: Defeating Culex
Get the Lazy Shell Weapon and Armor. You can get this by bringing the seed and fertilizer to the man in Rosetown in his house. He is located in the back of the town by going through a path. Give him the seed and fertilizer. He will plant it and you will receive the items. Next, put Princess in your party and give her the Lazy Shell Armor. Give Mario the Lazy Shell Weapon and Jinx Belt. Place Geno in your party. Make sure the party is level 25 or higher. Before fighting Culex make sure you are stocked on Rock Candies and Kerokerocolas.(buy them when you check into the suite in Marrymore.) Then, have Geno and Mario attack the Crystals and have Princess heal and revive them. Princess will probably never be killed because the Shell Armor is very powerful. Use items as needed. Rock Candies will help destroy Culex and the Crystals. You will get the Quartz Charm and Culex will leave this world after the battle.
Keep attacking Culex with normal attacks. Do not worry about the crystals. Culex only has about 3000 HP. If you defeat just the dragon, the Crystals will explode after about two turns.
When in Moleville after you get the Star and return Dyna and Mite to their parents, go to the house two houses to the left. If you have 500 coins you can buy a firework from the adult there. Immediately next to the house will be a little girl and her "purtend store". She will offer you a shiny stone for your firework. Accept the offer. When you get to Monstro Town, go to the door that has been sealed. It will say the stone is reacting to the door. The seal will now be broken. When you go to Bean Valley after you defeat Smilax a Shy Away will fly away and drop a note. Read it. It will say it is a Seed. Take it. Then in Nimbus Land, after you defeat Valentina , go all the way to the left of the screen, near the edge of the cloud. Somewhere along the side there will be an invisible path with a Shy Away all the way out. He will offer you a Fertilizer if you let him leave. Take it. Then, go to Rose Town where Bowser was shooting arrows. Go all the way to the back of the town. There will be a path. Follow it. There will be a house with an old man inside. Give him the Seed. He will ramble on very quickly, enough to make Mario dizzy. Then, give him the Fertilizer. He will ramble on again. He will then put the Seed and Fertilizer in his pot. A beanstalk will grow. Go outside his house and climb up the side. You will reach a cloud with two chests. They will both be a Lazy Shell. One is a weapon for Mario, another is armor for any character. Equip them both on Mario. Go back to Monstro Town and engage Culex in battle. You will find that you are invulnerable to most of his and his crystal's attacks. Only attack him and when he dies, his crystals will die. You will get 244 experience points. He will reward you with a Quartz Charm. After you leave his door it will disappear. You can leave the shell on Mario whenever you fight anyone.
Give Mario the Jinx Belt, Lazy Shell armor and weapon. Have Geno and Bowser as your other two characters. If they faint, do not always revive them. Revive Geno once in awhile to use his Geno Flash move. Bring some Mushrooms and Rock Candy to speed it up. The following moves will do about 50 points of damage: Dark Star - Culex; Storm - Yellow Crystal; Culex's striking attack (difficult to block).
Use the following trick to defeat Culex without the Lazy Shell Armor/Weapon. Have Peach and Mallow on your team, equip Peach with a Trueform Pin, and everybody else with the best armor and defense items possible. Having some Crystalline (ally defense booster found in Tadpole Pond) would help. Gather as many Rock Candies and Ice Bombs as you could carry and plenty of FP restorers (if you have 99 FP, Royal Syrups are recommended). Use Peach's Wake Up special when someone dies, and use the Wake Ups only on Peach. Have Mario use his Superflame on the Water Crystal, as Mallow uses his Shocker attack on the Earth Crystal. Have Peach use the Rocky Candies and after four Rock Candy attacks, the Wind Crystal should die (it only has 800 hp). When the Water crystal dies, have Peach use the Ice Bombs, Mario goes for the Fire Crystal with his normal attack, and Mallow still uses Shocker on the Earth Crystal until it dies. Then. switch to using Mallow's Snowman special to further damage the Fire Crystal. Use Peach's Group Hug when needed. If Peach is dead, use Mallow's HP Rain when desperately needed. Once the last Crystal dies, go after Culex with your normal attacks. By now he should have run out of FP and is helpless.
Have Mario at level 21, Geno at level 30, and Peach or Mallow at level 25. Mario only needs to physically attack with the Lazy Shell. Geno can cast Geno Beam, Blast (recommended), or Flash. Whoever you chose as your healer can heal or dispense Rock Candy.

Then, go next door and give them to the Mushroom eater man. Often you will not get anything, but sometimes you will get lucky and receive either a Flower Tab, Maple Syrup, or Rock Candy. Once you are out of Mushrooms, use the Flower Tabs, save the Rock Candy and do not sell the Syrup. With a lot of Syrups, go to Moleville. In the back right is a house with a lady Mole that will trade you items on a point basis.

Note: If you want easy experience and gold, instead of buying Mushrooms from the Health Food Store, go to the Forest Maze and gather the Mushrooms there and in the tunnels.

To beat Jonathan Jones in the sunken ship without fighting one-on-one, destroy all his Bandana Blues except for one. Then weaken Jonathan Jones by about 420 hit points so that he changes color to red. After he changes color, destroy the last Bandana Blue and you can finish him off with your entire party.
Defeat all of the Bandana Blues, with the exception of one. Next, weaken Johnny until he is defeated. When he is defeated, the Bandana Blue will also be defeated, allowing you to know that Johnny did not go one-on-one with Mario. Note: If you do defeat all the Bandana Blues, you will have to go one-on-one. If you want it the easy way, leave at least one Bandana Blue standing. You are more likely to get a game over if you go one-on-one. Your entire party will help defeat Johnny without getting a game over.
Start defeating Jonathan Jones as usual. When Mario dies, do not revive him. Continue defeating Jonathan with the other characters (Geno and Bowser) to defeat him without going one-on-one.
Sunken Ship: Fight Jonathan Jones one-on-one with Bowser
Use the following trick to fight Jonathan Jones one-on-one with Bowser instead of Mario. This can be useful if Bowser is a lot stronger than Mario in your game. First, let Johnny kill Mario (try to enter battle with Mario near dead). Then, kill the Blue Bandanas as usual. Since Mario is down, Bowser will fight Johnny instead. Be sure to revive Mario after the one-on-one is over so he gets experience.

You will have to play many games of guess which hand the ball is in. After awhile he will give you the Bright Card. You may need talk to the man in the inn at Nimbus Land.

Do so to get a kiss from the Princess. If you are not so fast, you will get a kiss from Bowser. If you are slower you will get a kiss from Booster. If you are very slow, you will get a kiss from both Bowser and Booster.
Use Princess early

20 coins and free H.P. recovery

Exit the area and reenter to collect them again.
Quartz Charm
After defeating Culex in Monstro Town, he gives you the Quartz Charm. On the Equip menu, the only information you get is "Shining Source Of Power". Once equipped, it does not seem to boost anything, but it does. Enter a battle and try using a Rock Candy with that person. It will do 300 points of damage instead of 200. Wearing the Quartz Charm is equal to always having the "Attack Up!" and the "Defense Up!" boosts in battle. So basically, you fight at 150% all of the time.
Soprano Card

So-La-Mi-Re-Do-Re-Do-ReThenm perform this song:

Try to save over another slot and the game will ask you if you want to overwrite the file. Answer "No" ten to twenty times, then choose "Yes". Mario will bend down or act like the Smithy Sword.
Glitch: Walk through door
Use the following glitch to walk through a door in the Mushroom Kingdom. Find the girl that can make you dizzy if you jump on her head. You also must have Bowser. Walk up to the girl and her house (left). Open the door and talk to her. Bowser will scare her into her house. When this normally happens, she will open the door to get in, and then close it behind her. But since the door is open, she "re-opens" it and then closes it. You can now walk through the door without it opening.
Glitch: Go through Toad
In Mushroom Kingdom, inside the first residential house at the left (coming from Mushroom Way), will be a Toad jumping on his bed in the second floor. Jump on top of that Toad, then continue to jump on top of him until you are through him. To get out, simply jump until you are on top of him.
Glitch: Standing Mallow

Mallow must be KOed for this to work. Weaken Croco so that he takes your items. If Mallow is already taken out when he does this, Mallow should be standing up even though he is taken out.
When you are fighting Croco in the Coal Mines, have him KO Mallow. After you have Mallow KO'd, fight Croco until he talks. Croco will take your items by running into Mallow. After this happens, Mallow will appear to be standing, even thought he is KO'd.
Glitch: Ignorant Piranha Plant
In Bean Valley, there should be a place where a Shy Guy is watering Piranha Plants. Jump on the head (not the center of the head, but to a side) of an unwatered one. This can be difficult, since they have small heads when not watered. Wait, and eventually the Shy Guy will reach that plant. If done correctly, when he waters the plant it will grow and start biting. However, it will not notice Mario. Note: It is more effective if you jump on the head in a way so that when the plant grows, the back of its head is facing Mario's back. When you jump, a battle will start.
Glitch: Walk on water
In the Sunken Ship, find the area of water in the ship with the two enemy fish. Jump on a fish and defeat him. You will then walk on the water. Note: To get back to normal jump back on shore.
