There probably are errors, so don't hesitate to e-mail corrections to me.
This is a guide that lists stuff (Star Pieces, Badges, other items) that you
find in each area. This isn't meant to be a walkthrough. I don't list any
items (such as keys) required to advance through the game.
NOTE: The Checklist lists the item and how to get it.
The Checklist Summary lists only the item.

THE CHECKLIST
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's hard to outline every single room of some places, especially if they are
non-linear such as Rogueport Sewers. So, not only are my directions slightly
confusing, but also my locations may not coincide with Ms. Mowz's ability to
sniff out item locations. I just thought I'd let you know...
Things I mention:
Blocks containing items
Coin Blocks
Invisible blocks
Star Pieces
Badges
Shine Sprites
Things I skip:
Coins hidden in bushes
Required items (such as keys)
On the very left side are symbols for what is at that location.
__
/_/ Star Piece
_
(_) Badge
+ Shine Sprite
! Item, Other (coins, special items, secrets)
I list any requirements to the left of the description of the location.
[ SUPER BOOTS ] = Use Super Jump to flip over a hidden panel
[ ULTRA BOOTS ] = Use Spring Jump to jump sky-high
[ SUPER HAMMER ] = Spin the hammer to break giant yellow blocks
[ ULTRA HAMMER ] = Use the hammer to break small and giant gray blocks
[ PLANE MODE ] = Change into Plane Mode to fly across chasms
[ PAPER MODE ] = Change into Paper Mode to fit between narrow bars
[ TUBE MODE ] = Change into Tube Mode to fit in small spaces
[ BOAT MODE ] = Change into Boat Mode to sail across water
In addition, you may also need the ability of a partner; I list that as well.
To reiterate, when you see [ SUPER BOOTS ], you know to use the Spin Jump to
flip the hidden panel. Then I won't say there's a hidden panel at that spot
because [ SUPER BOOTS ] implies that there is a hidden panel.

Charlieton appears randomly every ten floors. He sells HP/FP restoring items
as well as attack items, but his prices grow steeper the farther down you go.
I list enemy names and stats on the left side. I show excerpts of Goombella's
tattles on the right side (because I'm too lazy to come up with my own words;
she probably describes enemies better than I ever will, anyway...).

Dull Bones "Sort of a skeleton thing. It was a Koopa Troopa...once.
HP: 1 X These creeps throw bones to attack. Oh, and they build

Bob-omb "It attacks by blowing itself up. A Bob-omb will get

Atk: 2 ++ charge and explode on its next turn. THAT attack...
Def: 1 = really hurts. Oh, and if it's mad, it'll blow up at the

hard, like a shell."
Boo "It's everyone's favorite ghost. ...Well, most everyone...
HP: 7 XXXXXXX It's nothing to write home about on the Attack side, but

Lakitu "It's a member of the Koopa clan that rides on clouds. It

us, too! Oh, and when it powers up, that Attack power is

Lava Bubble "It's a flame spirit. Its HP and Attack power may be

Atk: 4 ++++ Since it is made of fire, try not to touch it, 'cause
Def: 0 it'll burn you. Apparently it's vulnerable to explosions

Poison Pokey "As you probably guessed, it's a poisonous Pokey. If you

Dry Bones "It's a former Koopa whose spirit animates its bones. When

3 sevens = 100 piantas
The good news is that the slots don't seem to be rigged, so it all comes down
to your skill. Of course, the bad news is that you'll need a lot of practice;
the sevens won't come to you that easily. You need sharp eyes and a quick
thumb. Luckily, the sevens are on red, which stand out from the green and the
blue that the faces and stars are on, making the sevens easier to distinguish.
When it begins, you'll see the three slots spinning. You'll see the A button
above the first slot. You can stop the slots in any order by pressing left or
right, but usually you stop them left to right. Get a feel for the timing of
the seven passing by. Press the A button just before the seven passes by, and
hopefully it'll stop on the seven. Note that the timing for each slot is
slightly different. That's because the right slot spins faster than the left
slot.
--++< Plane Game >++--
Here, you can hone your awesome flying skills to your heart's content while
getting some piantas along the way. Theoretically, you could get more piantas
here than in the other minigames, but it'll require a little more work. Not
only that, but also this minigame is so short, you could probably play this
twice in the time it takes you to play one of the other minigames once.
In this minigame, you are in Plane Mode flying through the air to see how far
you can fly. There are signposts at regular intervals that say 100, 200, 300,
and so forth. Every 30 you go equals one pianta (so the 300 sign marks 10
piantas). Flashing bonus platforms move along the ground. If you land on one
of those, you double the number of piantas you gained in the current play.
Penalty platforms remain stationary on the ground and say -5, -10, -15, and so
on. Landing on one of those usually means you lose all the piantas you gained
in the current play. Also, a few piantas float in the sky. Touching one of
them adds one pianta to your current play and is also affected by any bonus or
penalty you get. Finally, pressing the A or B button makes you fall to the
ground right where you are. You can use that to help you land on the bonus
panels if you can time it correctly.
When you are flying in the air, you'll want to keep tapping left so you don't
lose too much altitude. It's kind of hard to describe; you'll have to develop
your own rhythm for it. If you're going for piantas, then you'll want to go
for the bonus platform moving around the 300 sign. Get any piantas that are
conveniently in your way as you head toward that bonus platform. The bonus
platform is usually in the foreground or the background, so you have to hit it
while it's switching from one to the other. With practice and luck, you'll be
able to land on it. You can use the A or B button to fall down where you are,
but remember that the bonus platforms keep moving even while you're falling.
Why does it not say anywhere what the distance is measured in? I'm guessing
maybe meters, but...
--++< Paper Game >++--
If you're playing games to win piantas, then this game is a good one (probably
the best one because it's very easy and consistent: 20 piantas for 1st place).
This is a race between you and 700 other characters; no elapsed time is kept.
There are giant fans on both sides of the track that periodically activate.
The idea is to use Paper Mode to avoid getting blown off the track. If you
fall off, then you win nothing. If you get 1st place, you get 15 piantas plus
5 bonus piantas, always. Forget about 2nd place or anything else besides 1st
place. It's incredibly easy to win 1st place.
You may see some other characters in the Paper Game as well. Luigi is usually
there often (isn't he supposed to be kicking butt in the Waffle Kingdom?).
I've also seen Koopie Koo and Wonky there. (Man, I was hoping for a Puni...)
If Mario got Paper Mode from the "curse" of the black chest, then how did
everyone else get the power of Paper Mode?...
--++< Tube Game >++--
The Tube Game is essentially an obstacle course for Mario's Tube Mode.
When the race starts, go right. Jump over the bars on the ground, and move
around the posts. Follow the 180-degree curve, and then slow down just enough
so you can jump up the steps without hitting the sides of the steps. Charge
through the hollow building, then look ahead for the moving platforms. If you
rushed through the course without stopping, then the platform to Mario's left
should be there for you to get on. If it's just leaving, then you can try to
jump to it; otherwise, wait for the next platform. While on the platform, if
you want to save some time, you can jump off the platform to the other side
(make sure you get a rolling start, first). Once on the other side, roll down
the steep decline to another 180-degree curve. After the turn, some more bars
await you. Do short hops with the B button (to avoid hitting the high bars).
Get past the tilted track, and cross the finish line.
Incidentally, if you fall off the track after crossing the finish line, then
you'll "magically" jump back onto the track. It won't subtract from your
Technical Bonus, either.
With practice, it's possible to finish consistently with 2:17 or 2:18 left on
the clock. That's 14 piantas right there. Combined with the Technical Bonus,
you'll get 19 piantas, which is very comparable to the Paper Game in terms of
winnings, especially if you can also pick up one or two piantas from the track.
Results:
Time Remaining: Ignore the fractions of a second for this calculation. For
every two seconds above 1:50, you are awarded one pianta. So
1:51 or 1:52 will award one pianta, 1:53 or 1:54 will award
two piantas, 1:59 or 2:00 will award five piantas, and so on.
1:50 or lower will award no piantas. If you run out of time,
then you won't get Piantas Earned or Technical Bonus, either.
Piantas Earned: Any piantas you picked up from the course will be added here.
Technical Bonus: You start with 5 piantas as a Technical Bonus. Every time
you fall off the course, one pianta will be taken away from
your Technical Bonus.
--++< Boat Game >++--
This minigame is kind of a pain to navigate. The first half of the course has
floating barrels to avoid (though nothing happens if you touch them), and the
second half has moving whirlpools to dodge. The whirlpools come in big and
small varieties. The small whirlpools push you away from them, and the big
whirlpools sink you. Reach the finish line within the two-minute time limit.
Results:
Time Remaining: Ignore the fractions of a second for this calculation. For
every two seconds above 1:15, you are awarded one pianta. So
1:16 or 1:17 will award one pianta, 1:18 or 1:19 will award
two piantas, 1:24 or 1:25 will award five piantas, and so on.
1:15 or lower will award no piantas. If you run out of time,
then you won't get Piantas Earned or Technical Bonus, either.
Piantas Earned: Any piantas you picked up from the course will be added here.
Technical Bonus: You start with 5 piantas as a Technical Bonus. Every time
you sail into a whirlpool, big or small, one pianta will be
taken away from your Technical Bonus.
--++< Lahla >++--
Lahla is the Boo working behind the counter. You can use Paper Mode to get to
Lahla directly. Get first place in the various minigames, and she'll tell you
various tidbits of her personal life.
WITH ZERO FIRST PLACES:
Oh, my! Customers aren't allowed back here! What?!? You want to learn a little
more about me? Well, I'm in charge of the parlor center, silly! I know all
there is to know about this place, so if you have a question, just ask! ...You
were hoping for more personal information? Uhhh... Ugh! Fine! Whatever... I'm
eighteen. My favorite food is Honey Shrooms. The rest is a secret. If you get
a high score in one of the mini-games, maybe I'll tell you more...
WITH ONE FIRST PLACE:
Oh, my! Customers aren't allowed back here! What?!? You got a high score in
one of the mini-games? Ugh! Fine! Whatever... Um... My sister Peeka works in
the shop next door, and we get along REALLY well! We go shopping together
whenever we get a day off. So much FUN, shopping! Peeka likes jewelry and bags
and things, but those don't interest me at all. I guess maybe I could use a
little more flair in my outfits, though... OK! That's enough. Maybe I'll tell
you more if you get another high score.
WITH TWO FIRST PLACES:
Oh, my! Customers aren't allowed back here! What?!? You got another high
score? Ugh! Fine! Whatever... Um... I really love sweets, so I ask Zess T. to
bake stuff for me all the time. Ooh, and I love nothing better than a nice,
sweet cake, but... Lately I've been feeling a little chunky, though... So I'm
on a diet. But hey! That's a secret! Seriously! Don't tell Peeka! But that's
all for now. Maybe I'll tell you more about me if you get another high score,
all right?
WITH THREE FIRST PLACES:
Oh, my! Customers aren't allowed back here! What?!? You got another high
score? Ugh! Fine! Whatever... Um... The other day a customer named Arfur
asked me out to dinner. But I said no... I mean, I don't even know him, right?
Still, I wonder if he really likes me... I just don't get it, though. What
could he like about me? I mean, really... OK, that's all for now. How
embarrassing. Maybe I'll tell you more about me if you get another high score,
all right?
WITH ALL FOUR FIRST PLACES:
Oh, my! Customers aren't allowed back here! What?!? You got another high
score? Ugh! Fine! Whatever... Um... My dream is to have my own place someday.
I just wanna be surrounded by cakes and cute stuff all the time... And then
I'd get all the people I like to hang out here... It'd be sooo great! So,
I've gotta work hard now to make my dream come true. But I kind of like being
a parlor kitty, too, tee-hee! OK, that's all for now! I feel silly talking
about this kind of stuff. And, Mario... I hope you're not spending all your
time trying to talk to little old me. Because I'm sure there are other things
you're supposed to be doing, right?
===============================================================================
SUPER LUIGI RPG: LEGEND OF THE MARVELOUS COMPASS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems that Luigi has his own adventure while Mario's out. After Chapter 1,
Luigi will appear in Rogueport, where you can ask him about his adventure.
After every chapter, he'll be in another spot in Rogueport, just waiting to
tell you the next chapter in his adventure. It's a pretty good read; just use
your imagination.
By the way, Luigi's adventure is recorded as a multiple-volume novel and sold
in the shop in Rogueport. The writing style of that novel has a more serious
and emotional feeling to it. The novel is virtually stripped of humor, but
it's mostly the same recounting of Luigi's adventure. I'm not going to type
that novel here; buy it for yourself in Rogueport! As an incentive, the first
volume of the novel contains a recipe.
Everything below is Luigi speaking to Mario, unless it says [Addendum], then
the paragraph is Luigi's partner talking to Mario.
~~{ AFTER CHAPTER 1 }~~
Well, hey, big brother! Fancy meeting you here! What a co-inky-dink! Eh? Who,
me? Well, Bro, I'm on an adventure. I have to rescue Princess Eclair of the
Waffle Kingdom. Yeah, it's a bad scene, all right. She's been kidnapped by the
evil Chestnut King. If you gotta know, I met with some Waffle Kingdom cabinet
members the other day. It was pretty crazy, Bro. Wanna hear what happened?
It's a pretty long story...
"Waffle Kingdom Letter"
Well, like I said, it's a really long story, but here goes... My big brother--
that's you, Bro--got a letter from Princess Peach and took off. Left behind as
usual, I was cooking a snack at home when another letter arrived. We don't get
so much mail, so I was thinking: "Huh?" This is what the letter said: "Sirs!
My name is Crepe. I am a cabinet minister in the far-off Waffle Kingdom. Our
land has been attacked by the Chestnut King, who took our Princess Eclair. I
ask, nay, BEG for your assistance! The Waffle Kingdom needs your skills. I
humbly request your prompt response, sirs. Sincerely, Crepe" ...Well, I don't
remember it exactly, but I think it went something like that. With Mario--
that's you, Bro--gone, it fell to me to answer this plea! Hesitating only a
teensy bit, I headed to the Waffle Kingdom to investigate. Oh, no, first I
wrote a note to myself about what I was cooking. Then I left. Once I reached
the Waffle Kingdom, I met Minister Crepe, who filled me in. The Chestnut King
had kidnapped Princess Eclair and vanished. Apparently, though, some oracle
said a Marvelous Compass could locate her. This Marvelous Compass had been
broken into seven parts by an ancient curse... ...and those parts had been
scattered across the land. Can you believe it, Bro? Each part of the Marvelous
Compass was said to point to the next. And since one of the parts was embedded
in the tiara worn by the princess... I surmised that once I collected all the
parts, I'd find her! Smart, huh? The minister gave me the compass base spoken
of in Waffler fables... When it activated, the entire thing lit right up,
indicating the deep south... It was pointing me toward Rumblebump Volcano on
the Pudding Continent! So yeah, here I am! I'm sailing out of Rogueport for
Rumblebump Volcano. It's probably gonna be pretty dangerous, but... I gotta
rescue that princess!
~~{ AFTER CHAPTER 2 }~~
Well, I went to Rumblebump Volcano and got myself a Marvelous Compass piece!
It was an incredible quest! There was danger, and all sorts of adventuring! It
was pretty nutso, Bro. Wanna hear what happened? It's a pretty long story...
"Rumblebump Volcano"
Well, like I said, it's a really long story, but here goes... As soon as my
ship docked on the Pudding Continent, I set out for the volcano. To reach my
destination, I spent several days fording through dense jungle... Scary beasts
were all over! More than once I thought I was done for, Bro! I may have
screamed a bit. To scare them off, you know. But as fate would have it... A
Blooper named Blooey heard me shrieking and found me in this one town. Blooey
was on a journey of his own, but he joined me after hearing my tale. Now,
Blooey's a madman. Back in his hometown, they call him "White Torpedo"! Yeah,
he's a tough guy. Anyway, he helped me fight to Rumblebump Volcano. This place
was all about bubbling lava pools and heat that'd make the sun sweat. AND, the
place was lousy with evil traps designed to protect the compass piece. The
scariest one of all was this gigantic, 100-foot-tall statue that stomped
around. Now, the weakness of this giant statue, Bro, was a red gem on its
forehead... Now, I can jump high, but not high enough to reach this thing by a
long shot. So I came up with this plan for Blooey to hit that weak spot! "All
you, man!" I said! I waited for a pause in the statue's movements and hucked
Blooey up there! And bull's-eye! The White Torpedo saved the day! That jewel
got whacked! It was a critical hit, and that stone statue toppled and crumbled
into pieces! Once that was done, it was an easy stroll to the room where the
treasure was. Unfortunately, Princess Eclair was nowhere to be found... But I
got another piece of the Marvelous Compass, and put it in the base... Now the
compass pointed west, to Plumpbelly Village on the Strudel Continent. So I set
sails once again and came back here to Rogueport to recharge. That's what
happened to me lately, but I'll be heading back out soon...
[Addendum by Blooey, the Blooper]
Hey there, I'm Blooey. ...And this guy is a total liar! Don't listen to him!
You heard his story, right? Well, he did TRY to throw me but he completely
tripped! And what happens? I end up landing in lava! LAVA, man! You think that
feels good? Thanks to him, you can stick a fork in me! I'm well-done! My pale
skin's crispified! I'll NEVER forgive this guy! I'm gonna make him pay if it
takes my whole lifetime! That's the ONLY reason I'm still hanging around with
him. YOU'LL PAY, LUIGI!
~~{ AFTER CHAPTER 3 }~~
Well, I got my second piece of the Marvelous Compass at Plumpbelly Village
recently! Hoo, boy! I really got my hands dirty on that one, I'll tell you
what! It was pretty wild, Bro. Wanna hear what happened? It's a pretty long
story...
"Plumpbelly Village"
Well, like I said, it's a really long story, but here goes... Once we made
landfall on the Strudel Continent, we made for Plumpbelly Village. Once we
got there, though, we immediately noticed that something was wrong. We
learned from the mayor that the town was ruled by a giant snake named Hizza!
He said his own daughter was gonna be offered up as a sacrifice to this beast,
too! So, of course, being heroic, I offered myself up to go in her stead!
Brave, huh? Now, the custom was for sacrifices to be dressed as brides, so I
got all dolled up...I was one hot sacrifice, Bro. I looked so good, I fooled
our foes and got in Hizza's lair. It was kind of rough fighting in that gown,
but I managed. Chiffon really chafes, Bro! I finally found Hizza...and the
snake had a second head on its tail! Talk about scary! I fainted real quick,
but when I came to, I managed to distract both heads... It reared up, fangs
bared to attack, and at that moment, I deftly lunged left! His gaping mouths
smashed into one another...and he vanished in a cloud of smoke! A shining
plate fell down on the spot where Hizza's body had been coiled... Yes!
Another compass piece! I set it, and it pointed east, to Circuit Break Island!
Just as I was about to leave town, the mayor asked me to stay and marry his
daughter. I thought about it--she was sorta cute--but we ended up sneaking
off the next morning. I mean, I still have to save Princess Eclair from the
Chestnut King! And...when the Marvelous Compass activated this time, I heard
somebody's voice. It was so beautiful, Bro... I'm certain it was Princess
Eclair's voice! My heart began to race! That's when I realized it: Princess
Eclair... I think I... Oh! I kinda zoned out there. Umm... So, yeah. We set
sail again after ditching town... And somehow we managed to get back here to
Rogueport. And here I am!
[Addendum by Jerry, the Bob-omb]
Hi, I guess. I'm Jerry. I'm a Bob-omb from Plumpbelly Village. Nice meeting
you. Sorry I sound so down, but you would be too if you saw Luigi dressed as a
bride. I'm serious. It scarred me. It was honestly scarier than that giant
snake-thing. I feel I now have a moral duty to stop Luigi from ever dressing
as a bride again. I have to protect the world from my fate. That's why I'm
sticking close to this guy.
~~{ AFTER CHAPTER 4 }~~
Well, I headed to Circuit Break Island and got me a Marvelous Compass piece!
You wouldn't believe it, Bro! Talk about thrills, chills, and spills! It was
pretty nuts, Bro. Wanna hear what happened? It's a pretty long story...
"Circuit Break Island"
Well, like I said, it's a really long story, but here goes... Just as our
boat arrived at Circuit Break Island, we heard this incredible racket! We
soon found out that they hold kart races almost every day on the island.
Whoever takes first place in the race gets to rule the island as king for
that day. Just as we got to the racetrack, they were holding the awards
ceremony... I couldn't believe my eyes! Right there, on the trophy they give
to the winner... It was another piece of the Marvelous Compass! I almost
passed dead away! I decided right then and there that the only thing to do
was enter the next race. I mean, I've driven in kart races before, so I
thought I'd be OK. Boy, was I wrong. The karts were supercharged machines
that could send you airborne with their exhaust! These vehicles were armed
with missiles and bazookas... It was "anything goes," Bro! Of course, I
wanted to get right out of there, pronto! These drivers were crazed! But I
worked up my courage and signed up anyway. And my race day finally came... I
got one of the best karts: the Big Green 01! I took my position at the start
line... The light went green, I stomped the accelerator...and something bad
happened. I was in reverse! The Big Green 01 went rocketing backwards with me
yelling... I crashed into the wall behind me hard enough to cut me off
midscream. In one fell swoop I dropped into last place and wrecked my racing
machine... But it wasn't all bad news: all the other karts crashed because of
my maneuver... Once I got in gear and took off, I was the only car left! I
won by a country mile, Bro! I took the piece off of my trophy and added it to
the Marvelous Compass... The compass came to life and pointed me toward
Jazzafrazz Town in the east! Then I heard that voice! Princess Eclair's voice
echoed in my ears again! Oh, my princess! Random words would form poetry if
spoken by your voice! I will most definitely save you! Just wait for me!
Princess Eclair!!! Oh! Sorry about that, Bro... Umm... So, after that, I got
back on my boat... And came back here to Rogueport. And that's what's been up
with me.
[Addendum by Torque, the Buzzy Beetle]
Yeah, I'm Torque, and don't for a second think this dude's tellin' the whole
story. The only reason I lent him my rig was 'cause he got down on his knees
and begged. And what happens? He's in it for one second before he completely
totals it! Idiot! I'm not lettin' this dip outta my sight until he repays me
the 5,000-coin repair costs!
~~{ AFTER CHAPTER 5 }~~
Well, I got another piece of that Marvelous Compass! At Jazzafrazz Town, this
time. Bro, I'm telling you, I turned adventuring into an art form on THAT
little quest! Hoo! It was pretty nutty, Bro. Wanna hear what happened? It's a
pretty long story...
"Jazzafrazz Town"
Well, like I said, it's a really long story, but here goes... As soon as we
hit Jazzafrazz Town, we were overcome by the glitz and the glamour. It's a
very lively place, Bro. Tons of Dayzees live there, and they're always
smiling! While looking for the piece of compass, I met a hip Dayzee named
Hayzee. Hayzee was a producer, and he was looking for actors to go on stage
with him. I told him we couldn't, since we were looking for the compass part,
you know. But Hayzee said we could WIN the compass part in the upcoming Drama
Slam! He said the so-called Dramalama Plaque might, in fact, be one of the
parts! Well, we just had to give it a try, so we rehearsed with the cast and
hit the stage! Our musical was called "The Mystery of the Fiery Hat of Social
Awareness." The script was great, but I got really hosed, Bro... My "role"...
My "part"... ...Was grass! I played grass by the side of the road! Grass, Bro!
Grass! I just sprawled out on the ground and had to be silent. Everyone but
me had lines... I don't care if I was wearing green! Who casts someone based
on that? It was awful! In the end, our musical was the talk of the town, and
we won the Drama Slam. I got the compass part I was after, but even that
didn't make me very happy. The huge after-party just bummed me out more, so I
snuck out the back door. But WOW! Outside were tons of fans! MY fans! Fans of
grass! They swarmed me! I just couldn't believe it! Imagine! Cheering for
grass! I was ecstatic, Bro! After that I added the piece to the Marvelous
Compass, which pointed north. It pointed to the Rapturous Ruins in Grimble
Forest. Then... The voice again... Oh, my cherished Princess Eclair! How you
soothe me! I would be grass for you... I will find you! I will reach you! I
will stand by your side and be your Luigi! Wow. Sorry about that, Bro. Umm...
So, yeah, anyway... Then I got back on my boat. I came back to Rogueport, and
here I am, another leg of my adventure completed!
[Addendum by Hayzee, the Dayzee]
I'm Hayzee! And I must say, Luigi is a great actor, one of the finest I've
seen! After this adventure, we're going on tour to appear on stages
everywhere! I'm going to be known as "The Red Miracle"! And, of course, Luigi
will be grass!
~~{ AFTER CHAPTER 6 }~~
Well, guess what I found in Rapturous Ruins, Bro? Yup! A Marvelous Compass
piece! This part of my adventure was actually sort of sad, if you wanna know
the truth. It was pretty insane, Bro. Wanna hear what happened? It's a pretty
long story...
"Rapturous Ruins"
Well, like I said, it's a really long story, but here goes... After journeying
deep into the Grimble Forest, I found the domed Rapturous Ruins. Inside,
everything was pure white. You couldn't tell where the floor became walls...
Proceeding dead ahead, I found myself in a chamber where a young boy sat. As I
approached the boy, someone named Screamy appeared out of nowhere! Screamy
said the boy's name was Cranberry, and that he'd wake for a child of fate.
That didn't make any sense to me, so I started searching quietly for the
compass piece. But then it happened, Bro: I got a tiny tickle in my nose, and
I let out a huge sneeze! Well, Cranberry must've heard it, 'cause he opened
his eyes right up! He looked at me and smiled. And all of a sudden I could
understand his language! Can you believe it? I learned that the boy was the
last of an ancient race, the Luffs... He had been there guarding the Marvelous
Compass piece for the last thousand years! He told me that the compass is an
item with the power to see into the future... The ancient Luff empire used the
power of the compass to rule much of the world. Because of their greed, they
were cursed by the compass, and their empire collapsed. To prevent a repeat of
their fate, Cranberry broke the compass into seven parts. He hid six and kept
one, putting himself to sleep until a worthy hero woke him. I WAS that hero,
Bro! He gave it to me, and then he and the ruins vanished... When I added that
piece to the compass... It pointed to the far north, where dreaded Hatesong
Tower stands. This time, I heard Princess Eclair's voice more clearly than
ever before! I will rescue the princess! I will be super! And then I'll...
I'll... I'll... Well, I'll figure the rest out later. Anyway, I headed back
here to Rogueport after that. I'm making my final preparations for my final
battle now. I'm a little nervous, Bro. But that's what I've been up to, anyway!
[Addendum by Screamy]
..I'm Screamy. I wonder what future is plotted for us by he who holds the
compass... For I must deliver something...
~~{ AFTER CHAPTER 7 }~~
Let's see, adventures... Oh, of course! Me, I'm done questing for now. Yup!
I scaled Hatesong Tower the other day and rescued the fair Princess Eclair!
That's one adventure I'm never gonna forget. Nope, it was just tooooo
exciting! It was just bonkers, Bro. Wanna hear what happened? It's a pretty
long story...
"Hatesong Tower"
Well, like I said, it's a really long story, and this part is just crazy, but
here goes... Hatesong Tower stands atop a jagged, unclimbable cliff beyond the
northernmost sea. The winds whistle down the cliff, howling like banshees
singing songs of hate... People say it's pretty much the scariest place in the
world. And I had to go there. Blocking out the bone-chilling howls, I somehow
managed to reach the tower's door. I was terrified, but thoughts of Princess
Eclair warmed my heart and gave me power. All of my companions felt the same
way. They were with me to the bitter end. The door to the tower swung slowly
open to reveal an inconceivable darkness... I tried to call out Princess
Eclair's name, but I couldn't even breathe because... As I strained my eyes in
the darkness, I saw the most terrifying beast of all! The Chestnut King
himself appeared before me! He was monstrous and drooling! Puddles of toxic
goo dripped from his mouth, melting the very ground at our feet! I couldn't
stop shaking, but I gritted my teeth and faced the evil beast dead-on! I
dodged the king's fangs, jumped onto his chest, and gave him a hammer-whack!
My swing split the air and crashed dead-center onto the Chestnut King's skull!
Hope powered me up, Bro! I was going toe-to-toe with the king, and I was
loving it! "This is it!" I thought! I can win this! I'll risk it all on my
next blow! I gripped my hammer tight and waited for my moment... The tension
stung me... SHHHHHWHAAAAACK! The ocean winds raged against the tower windows!
With that sound as my call to battle, I advanced with no mercy in my heart!
And then..............................................
And then..............................................
.................................................................
.................................................................
.................................................................
.................................................................
I beat him. I defeated the Chestnut King. An even worse beast came next, a
nightmare thing...but I beat it, too.
..........................
I rescued Princess Eclair. It was all over. And then I came back to Rogueport
and had a light lunch. And that's about it.
.........................
Huh? You think there's more to the story than that? Not at all. That's it.
That's the whole story of the quest for Princess Eclair. The End. But my
adventures won't end here, Bro... They'll never end...
[Addendum by Blooey, the Blooper]
Hey! You! Remember me? It's me, Blooey! Maaaan, that last battle was hairy!
You have no idea! I was burnt to a crisp, but I was actually kinda relieved,
if you can believe that! But if you want the whole story, you should just ask
Luigi here! Wahahaha!
~~{ AFTER CHAPTER 8 }~~
I've been catching a breather here, you know, reflecting back on all my
adventures. It's been a long road, Bro. Wanna hear what happened? It's a
pretty long story...
"Super Luigi Book"
Actually, know what? This guy actually novelized my quest! He's been
interviewing me. He was actually interviewing me here at the inn during breaks
from my adventure! I didn't think anyone would be interested in reading a book
about Luigi... But "Super Luigi" came out recently, and check this out, Bro:
here in Rogueport... It's set a new record for consecutive weeks at number one
on the best-seller list!!! Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho ho! Hooray for Luigi, Bro! I
started reading it the other day, but it's an encyclopedic account in multiple
volumes... Excruciating detail, Bro. It's like a history book! ...It seemed
like one, anyway. They've got it in the shop here in Rogueport. How about you
snag a copy, Bro?
===============================================================================
THE LEGEND OF ROGUEPORT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On top of Merlon's house is a guy named Grifty who imparts the tales passed
around the streets of Rogueport. The tales explain the ancient city beneath
Rogueport, the reason the city was destroyed, the Crystal Stars, the black
chests, and the Magical Map. Every chapter, he reveals more of the legend.
"The Fearsome Demon"
Ages ago, a city flourished here in peace and splendor. ...But it was
destroyed in a single day by a demon form the dark beyond. Historians claim a
great calamity befell the city, but nay...'twas a demon. The city sank below
ground, and one-quarter of the old city became the demon's den. This demon
put fear into the hearts of all men and sent out minions to take the land.
And its den, its palace, grew rich with the treasures stolen from all over
the world.
"The Crystal Stars"
In order to increase its already formidable power... The demon created
Crystal Stars to hold the essence of the heavens. One of these stars was
placed in each country to exert the demon's influence. One of the castles
built to contain these stars still stands near Petal Meadows.
"Dragons and Dungeons"
The demon built a dungeon near its palace and filled it with terrifying
monsters... All those who fell into disfavor were thrown into this dungeon to
rot... Yea, and the demon also had three dragon pets: Hooktail, Gloomtail,
and Bonetail. These dragons flew across the land, spreading fear and sorrow
over all. Even now, the mere mention of a dragon is enough to give some the
terrors...
"The Hero Who Arose"
One day, there came a hero who could vanquish the fell demon. The young Toad
from Petal Meadows was strong of arm, but shy of voice... All those around
the boy teased him endlessly about the way he spoke. But when the demon cast
his fearful gaze across the lands and reached out... The young Toad used his
strength and honor to defend his people. And he became a hero to all, despite
his odd voice.
"The Wise Goomba"
There was a wise Goomba from Boggly Woods gifted in knowledge of the world.
When beasts rose to take the woods, this knowledge helped the people fight
them. And this Goomba, who knew the way that every monster would attack...
She began to think of a way to banish all monsters from the land...
"The Stalwart Koopa"
A Koopa who traveled the world alone learned of the darkness covering the
land... He went alone wherever evil dwelt, and banished it with shell and
sheer bravado. The monsters grew to fear this scar-riddled Koopa who thwarted
them at every turn. But the brave Koopa was finally taken in a trap set for
him by the monsters. But then, a Boo who fought with the monsters came and
used her magic to free him. The brave Koopa's spirit had melted the heart of
the cold Boo lass...
"The Four Heroes"
The Boo used her powerful magic to learn more about the evil they faced...
"We cannot destroy this darkness alone," she decided, her face a grim mask.
"We need the Toad hero of Petal Meadows and the wise Goomba of Boggly Woods."
The Boo's magic drew the four heroes together to send the demon from the
world. And so, the four heroes finally set out for the Palace of Shadow...
"The Duel With the Demon"
The power of the world-devouring demon was greater than any could imagine...
But the wise Goomba soon realized that this was the power of the Crystal
Stars... She thought of a way to take the stars and use them against the
demon. She told the other heroes her plan and set it in motion, banishing
their fears. The Boo's magic and the Toad's strength created a gap in the
demon's defenses... At that moment, the brave Koopa seized the stars... And
succeeded in badly damaging the demon...
"The Demon Sealed Within"
But even the brave Koopa's stroke was not enough to end the demon's reign...
The wise Goomba thought of another use for the Crystal Stars in that dire
hour... She suggested sealing the demon forever with the Crystal Stars. All
agreed. The heroes matched their strengths with the power of the Crystal
Stars... And they successfully sealed the demon's soul within the deepest
part of the palace. Together, they made it so that only all seven stars could
break the seal...
"The Demon's Curse"
The four heroes thought they had sealed away the demon and all of its
powers... But the demon used a tiny opening before the seal was complete to
curse them all. While holding the Crystal Stars, they'd feel nothing, but
when they let them go... A black box would appear to seal their souls within.
The four heroes traveled the world, scattering the stars so the seal would
remain. But the last four stars each carried the curse, which claimed each
hero...
"The Great Tree and Punies"
The hiding places of many of the Crystal Stars have now faded into legend.
But some say that the wise Goomba hid one in the Great Tree. At that time,
many monsters wandered in the nearby Boggly Woods. The tiny Punies were
always tormented by their fierce appetites, it was said. Pitying them, the
Goomba hollowed out the Great Tree for the Punies to live in. The Punies were
so grateful that they swore to protect the Crystal Star there...
"The Boo Heroine's Last Days"
Once the Boo heroine hid her star in a steeple, she was trapped in the nearby
town... Some say the Crystal Star lies in that steeple still...
"The Pirate King Cortez"
The Koopa hero went to a southern isle to hide his star where none would find
it. But the Koopa was so tired from his journey that the pirate Cortez stole
it easily. In that very instant, the brave Koopa was trapped in an
inescapable chest. But Cortez did not realize the power of the star and lost
it among his treasures...
"The Toad Hero's Final Days"
The strong Toad held his star and continued his arduous journey. But
eventually the miles took their toll upon him, and he collapsed. A traveling
healer happened by and saved his life... But the Toad knew his fate was to be
trapped in the box when the star was gone... So he asked this healer to hide
the star in a secret place known to no one...
"All Becomes Legend"
After the demon was sealed within the Palace of Shadow... Many refused to
come near that place of terror. But as the years passed, entire generations
forgot... And the penniless and the immoral began to congregate in this once-
barren place... This place soon became a populous harbor, the town of
Rogueport... And some even began to say that the underground city held a
legendary treasure. But they were unaware that the demon slept beneath them
still...
"The Magical Map"
The heroes knew that the seal might not last forever... And they sought to
make the Crystal Stars available to one who might need them... So, before
going to their individual dooms, they made a map to all the stars. And to
prevent an evil force from misusing this map... They placed it in a box that
could only be opened by the pure of heart.

TIPS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***** Efficient ways to make money *****
The most efficient way to get money (at least in the long run) is to buy Money
Money badges from the Pianta Parlor. It costs 234 piantas for one, which
equals 702 coins if you use the pianta changer. It's money well-spent in my
opinion since you'll receive more coins per battle. (You'll receive even more
coins if you equip more Money Money badges.) Trust me; equip a Money Money
badge or two, fight some higher-level enemies, and see the money pour in. My
favorite place to rake in the money is the path right outside Fahr Outpost for
its easy access to an inn if battles go bad (and because I like snow places).
Unfortunately, the Money Money badge is not for sale until after Chapter 6.
Another excellent long-term investment is Lumpy, the Ratooey who appears in
Rogueport Harbor until Chapter 3 is completed. He asks for your coins to fund
his quest for oil. You can give him 100, 200, or up to 300 coins. Come back
here after Chapter 6, and he'll return your investment approximately threefold:
100-coin investment --> 300-coin return
200-coin investment --> 600-coin return
300-coin investment --> 999-coin return (no joke!)
A different way to get some decent cash is to trounce Rawk Hawk in the Glitz
Pit. After completing Chapter 3, you can reenter the Glitz Pit. Your Glitz
Pit registration will be gone, so you'll have to fight your way up the ranks
again. Once you make your way back to the top, you can challenge Rawk Hawk as
many times as you wish. You will receive 20 coins every time you defeat Rawk
Hawk. The fight with Rawk Hawk is quite easy; Rawk Hawk has the same stats as
when you first fought him in Chapter 3, but Mario grows stronger with all the
new moves, items, and badges he gets in each chapter. So this really is a
painless way to make some money.
If you need immediate gratification, then you can try selling an Ultra Shroom
or Jammin' Jelly for 100 coins. You can always buy another one in Rogueport
Sewers for 200 coins, which really isn't that much if you have a Money Money
badge or two as stated above; plus, you can cook Zess Deluxes (+40 HP/FP) for
only 40 coins each. You can also sell badges to the Lovely Howz of Badges for
some quick money. Sell the badges that you probably won't use anytime in the
near future. For example, the Attack FX badges sell for 50 coins each. The
Return Postage badge sells for 500 coins! You can always buy back the badges
later if you wish (at twice the price you sold them for, however).
***** Efficient ways to win piantas *****
In my opinion, the best way to win piantas is to play the slots. Just learn
the timing for the 7's; it's really not that hard (it takes a lot of practice,
though). It costs 1 pianta for 1 play, and three 7's give you 100 piantas.
(Of course, I'm probably alone on this opinion...)
There are two other ways to get piantas consistently. One way is to play the
Paper Game. The Paper Game awards 20 piantas for 1st place every single time,
and it's very easy to win 1st place. As for the other minigames, they're not
as consistent as the Paper Game, but they could give more than 20 piantas. In
the Tube Game, you can win around 18-22 piantas with practice (depends on how
many piantas you pick up from the track), so it's a good game to play if you
get bored of the Paper Game. The Plane Game could be the most profitable
minigame since it's so short, provided that you are able to land on the bonus
platforms frequently. I do not recommend the Boat Game...
The other way to get piantas is the pianta changer, of course. If you have
extra money flowing out of your pockets, and you don't feel like playing any
Pianta Parlor games, then you may consider dumping your money into the pianta
changer. The exchange rate is 3 coins for 1 pianta.
***** Fast ways to earn Star Points *****
The maximum level that Mario can reach is 99, so if your goal is to max out
Mario's level, then you have a long road ahead of you...
There are two ways to earn mass Star Points. One way is to look for the Amazy
Dayzee, which looks like a golden, sparkling Crazee Dayzee. At level 30,
you'll gain over 30 Star Points for defeating one Amazy Dayzee. You can read
more about Amazy Dayzees in the following section.
Another good way is to go through the Pit of 100 Trials. Lots of enemies in
floors 81-89 give decent Star Points. The enemies in floors 91-99 give you a
lot of Star Points, and you should meet at least one Amazy Dayzee there,
probably more than one. Plus, the fact that you have to go through 90 floors
worth of enemies ensures that you'll get at least 90 Star Points...
Note that, even with the Amazy Dayzee, there is no "fast" way for Mario to
level up all the way to 99. I recommend using Danger Mario to help you get
through battles more quickly.
A slightly less fast way to get Star Points is to fight Rawk Hawk in the Glitz
Pit. After completing Chapter 3, you can reenter the Glitz Pit. Your Glitz
Pit registration will be gone, so you'll have to fight your way up the ranks
again. Once you make your way back to the top, you can challenge Rawk Hawk as
many times as you wish. Rawk Hawk gives you decent experience for a "normal"
battle; you even get 20 coins per battle as well. Past level 30, however, he,
too, starts giving 1 Star Point.
***** Amazy Dayzee *****
Amazy Dayzee's stats:
HP = 20
Attack = 20
Defense = 1
Amazy Dayzees look similar to Crazee Dayzees, except Amazy Dayzees are golden
and sparkly. They also give a ton of Star Points. At level 30, you'll gain
nearly 40 Star Points for defeating one Amazy Dayzee (more Star Points than
most bosses give you). They also have an Attack of 20 and tend to run away in
the first turn, so be prepared to take it out in one turn if you fight one.
There are several different ways to deal with the Amazy Dayzee:
-- Have Mario use Art Attack. It is possible to defeat it with one Art Attack,
but if it's still alive after that, then finish it off with your partner.
-- Have Mario use Supernova, then have your partner use an attack that hits
all enemies such as Shell Slam, Stampede, Fiery Jinx, or Bob-ombast.
-- Equip some badges that boost Attack, have Mario use Power Bounce, then have
Goombella use Multibonk. Alternatively, you can have Goombella use Rally
Wink after Mario's Power Bounce, and then have Mario use Power Bounce again.
-- Use the Double Dip and Double Dip P badges to hit it with four Thunder Bolts
or four Thunder Rages.
-- You can try to inflict a status effect (immobilize it, freeze it, or put it
to sleep), and if it fails, run away and reenter the battle (see below).
If you wish to exit a battle from an Amazy Dayzee (perhaps to heal or to swap
badges), then you can run away without worry; the Amazy Dayzee will still be
there if you fight the same enemy again (but do not leave the immediate area).
Amazy Dayzees can be found at Twilight Trail. Get into battles with Crazee
Dayzees, and you'll randomly find Amazy Dayzees (a very small chance).
Apparently, you have a slightly greater chance of finding Amazy Dayzees if
you're carrying a Golden Leaf with you (how convenient that Creepy Steeple is
right next to Twilight Trail).
Amazy Dayzees also appear in the Pit of 100 Trials; unfortunately, they appear
all the way at the bottom: levels 91-99.

***** Danger Mario *****
"Danger Mario" is a specific setup for Mario that involves equipping a lot of
Power Rush badges while perpetually keeping his HP at 5. The idea is to kill
all your enemies in one turn, thereby keeping your HP safe. It is considered
"cheating" by some players because Mario's Attack power can go as high as the
player wishes (the damage caps at 99, though). This isn't a glitch, either;
it's a valid, legitimate setup within the game. I don't know if I'd call it
cheating, but it certainly is cheap, so don't use it in your first playthrough.
The complete setup for Danger Mario is not available until after Chapter 6.
The setup will be much easier to do if you do not raise Mario's HP at all
whenever Mario levels up.
First of all, you have to keep Mario's HP at 5 or lower at all times. To do
this, you are going to lower his Max HP to 5. Go down the pipe in front of
Professor Frankly's house to enter Rogueport Sewers. To the left is a cracked
wall. Have Bobbery blow up the cracked wall to uncover a pipe. This pipe
leads to Chet Rippo, a magician who can alter your stats. Have him lower
Mario's Max HP to 5. It costs 39 coins for every level transfer, so it's much
easier if you did not level up Mario's HP a lot, if at all.
Next, you need the Power Rush badges themselves. Solve Frankie's trouble in
the Trouble Center to obtain the Gold Card. Take the Gold Card to the Pianta
Parlor. You'll unlock the Tube Game and items for sale, including the Power
Rush badge. Now just buy as many Power Rush badges as you want. That's all.
They cost 34 piantas each (or 102 coins if you use the pianta changer).
Finally, you get to set up your badges. Go to your badge screen. Equip your
Power Rush badges. Five should take care of a lot of enemies, and ten should
kill almost everything. Equip the Multibounce badge to take care of all the
regular enemies in one turn, and equip the Power Bounce badge to kill bosses.
Also, equip the Spike Shield badge to protect against spiked enemies and the
Ice Power badge to protect against fire enemies. Optionally, you can wear the
Flower Saver and FP Drain badges so you never have to worry about FP again.
Flower Saver drops Multibounce's FP consumption to 1, and FP Drain gives you 1
FP every time you attack; therefore, your FP never goes down. Power Bounce
will still cost 2 FP, but that's only for bosses, or you can equip a second
Flower Saver.
Of course, this setup isn't flawless. Multibounce will not hit enemies that
hang from the ceiling. For this, you can use Quake Hammer to hit them. If
there are also enemies floating in the air, then you can use Goombella's Rally
Wink to give Mario a chance to use Multibounce. If you're still worried about
Mario getting hit, you can wear defensive and evasive badges. Last Stand and
Close Call will help since Mario is always in Danger. P-Down, D-Up increases
his Defense by 1, and his Attack is so high that a decrease in Attack will not
matter. HP Drain will recover his HP by 1 every time he attacks, and his
Attack is so high that the decrease in Attack will not matter.
***** Yoshi Colors *****
It is possible to determine the color that your Yoshi is going to be. It must
be done while you're in Chapter 3. The color is based on elapsed time, from
the time you get the egg to the time you lose to the Iron Clefts with the egg.
See, at any given time, the Yoshi is a certain color for a specific duration.
Color Lasts for And becomes
------ ----------- -----------
Green 6 minutes Red
Red 3 minutes Blue
Blue 2 minutes Orange
Orange 4 minutes Pink
Pink 3 minutes Black
Black 1 minute White
White 0.5 minute Green
Or, a more flowchart-like diagram (read from left to right):
Green Red Blue Orange Pink Black White
/ \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \
| +6 min. +3 min. +2 min. +4 min. +3 min. +1 min. |
| |
^<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< +0.5 min. <-
Once the Yoshi egg hatches, the color is permanent, so do the following steps
in Chapter 3 before the egg hatches.
1. Fight your way up the ranks until you are rank 11 (your next fight will be
the Iron Clefts). If you have yet to get the Yoshi egg, then get it now.
2. Save in the Save Block outside your locker room.
3. Lose to the Iron Clefts and see what color your Yoshi turns out to be.
4. Reset the game, and reload your file.
5. Now that you know the current color, you just have to wait underneath the
Save Block for a certain amount of time while the Yoshi changes colors
inside the egg. Use the chart to add up the number of minutes you ought to
wait. Be careful not to wait too long, though.
For example, if you know you have orange, and you want black, then you have
to wait a maximum of 7 minutes. I say maximum because if your Yoshi was at
the end of the orange phase, then you'd have to wait only 3 or 4 minutes; 7
minutes would cycle back to green. Therefore, do not overestimate your
wait time.
You can use the Play Time clock on Mario's Menu screen to count the number
of minutes that pass by.
6. Once you think you've waited long enough, save your game.
7. Now quickly lose to the Iron Clefts, and see what color you get. If it's
the one you wanted, then great! If not, then try again from step 4.
Sorry, I probably made this sound a lot more confusing than it actually is.
***** The Lovely Howz of Badges *****
The Lovely Howz of Badges is a badge shop where you can buy and sell badges.
The shop becomes available after Professor Frankly gives you your first badge.
The badges on display on the counter are 70% of the regular cost. The badges
rotate every time you leave and reenter Rogueport, so there are always five of
the available badges that are on sale.

Version 1.0 - February 9, 2005
Whew, I finished the checklist. Hopefully, I have not missed anything.
Originally, I was just going to do the checklist, but then I decided to
add the Pit of 100 Trials, Trouble Center, and Pianta Parlor sections.
I'll have to include tips and strategies for those sections next version.
Version 2.0 - March 4, 2005
Added a whole bunch of stuff. Entire new sections were put in. It also
crossed my mind that it may be easier to get the Jammin' Jelly in Keelhaul
Key by spinning your hammer. Finally, thanks to "Turtlebirdnl" for telling
me that Space Food appears in the Fahr Outpost inn, and "Glenn Tore
Fingarson Dalby" for pointing out two errors in my checklist (one in
Rogueport Sewers and one in Petalburg). I can't believe I made such lame
mistakes... Oh, and I still need to do the Pit of 100 Trials and Trouble
Center sections.
Version 2.01 - March 6, 2005
Added Rawk Hawk in the Tips section as a good source for coins and
possibly experience.
Version 2.02 - March 11, 2005
Shoot, I had completely forgotten about 8-bit Mario in the X-Naut Fortress.
That's added to the Checklist now.
