==============================================================================

     Many would ask, "what's the fastest way to get materials?".  The answer
  is very simple:  bosses.  Whenever a boss is staggered, he will always
  drop an item that belongs to his type, or rarely some Kaching or a unique
  item. First, here is the list of bosses and what kind of material they
  drop, based solely on bosses you can fight outside Paraget/Patagate:

      - Stone/Metal     : Dodonga/Majidongga/Kacchidonga  (dinosaur)
      - Bone            : Mochichichi/Fenicchi (bird)
      - Fang            : Darantula/Centura (spider)
      - Wood            : Dogaeen (golem)
      - Meat            : Manboth/Manboroth (mammoth)
      - Hide            : Goruru (big-bellied demon)
      - Vegetable       : Zaknel/Dokaknel (worm)
      - Liquid          : Ciokinna (crab)
      - Seed            : Shookle (plant)
      - Alloy           : Kanogias (robot/castle/canon)
      - Kaching         : Dettankarmen, Zuttankarmen (dragon)

     In order to maximize staggering, you'll need the Rarepon that
  specializes in Cnc Ratio, which are Menyokkis (Treepons).  The best
  Patapon type to turn into an army of Menyokkis are Yumipons, due to their
  ability to strike thrice, meaning you'll be shooting 18 arrows worth
  205% Cnc Ratio each when at Lv10.  Menyokki Yumipons require Lv2
  materials, which are easy to get.

      - Itete Fangs     : "Lost Sheep at Bryun Snowfield"
                          Preferably when snowing, when the blue pigs
                          are more plentiful.
      - Gashirin Bone   : "Lost Sheep at Bryun Snowfield"
                          Pink birds, who are plentier when it's not
                          snowing.
                        : Mochicichi, if you don't care about his
                            level since he's very weak and is rather
                            very easy to stagger even without Menyokkis.
      - Hard Iron       : Tree minigame
                        : Dodonga, if you don't care about the level.
      - Cherry Tree     : Tree minigame

     It's quite painful early on to farm, but things just get easier.
  Concentrate on getting a single Yumipon to Lv10 Treepon, so you can
  turn your Hero into Lv10 Treepon so you'll have two Lv10 Treepon
  Yumipons, easy.  Once you get a total of three Lv10 Treepon Yumipons
  (including the Hero), you're very fine to start farming from
  Mochichichi and Dodonga.

     So you've got Menyokki Yumipons now, but you're missing something:
  who will pick up the dropped materials?  Kibapons!  Make sure to give
  them anything that boosts their Speed so they can pick up materials
  quicker.

     I didn't recommend fighting bosses for the Fang and Tree since they
  are tedious.  Darantula requires keeping up the Miracle of Rain while
  Dogaeen has incredible resistance.

     So now you can get a lot of materials, but crap, most of them are
  low level!  What's the trick?

     Whenever you stagger a boss that is frozen, knocked down or sleeping,
  they will always drop a material that is at LEAST Lv3.  This is where
  elemental Rarepons come in, and become more tedious, since certain
  bosses are immune, less resistant or more resistant to a certain thing.
  Not to mention, a boss that is on flame will not drop a rare when
  staggered, so your choice is to either freeze, sleep or knock him down
  before staggering.  Rarepon specialties:

    - Freezing :   Koppen  (+250% Freeze Ratio) (Penguin)
                   Materials:  Lv4/Lv3/Lv3/Lv3
    - Knockback:   Mashu   (+300% Knockback) (Mushroom)
                   Materials:
    - Sleep    :   Mashu   (+300% Sleep Ratio)
                   Materials:  Lv4/Lv4/Lv3/Lv3

     As you can see, Mashu is more favorable than Koppen.  He will be
  overall a more "universal" elemental Rarepon for farming, and in the
  case where the boss is immune to a certain element, Mashu specializes
  in both Knockback or Sleep so he will never be useless in high-level
  farming.  Turn 3 Yumipons into Lv10 Mashus.  So, for me, this is
  the "universal" setup:

    - Yumipons:  3 Lv10 Moriussoos (Treepons)
                 3 Lv10 Mashuriros (Mushrooms)
    - Kibapons:  3 Lv10 Mashuriros (Mushrooms)
    - Hero    :  Lv10 Moriussoo Yumipon (Tree)
              :  Any Tatepon, for bosses who do not have
                    any attacks that kill Hero throughout
                    the battle.
              :  Mask:  Whichever stat you need to specialize.

    I would recommend equipping default weapons. Equipping weapons that
  specialize in a certain basic element (Fire/Ice/Lightning) will have
  double damage, which is NOT desirable;  we want to keep the boss
  alive as long as possible to take as much stuff as we can.  However,
  Dream weapons which specialize in Sleep Ratio are safe.


  * ! WARNING ! *
    Once the screen is nearly filled with a lot of dropped items, KILL
  THE BOSS QUICKLY.  It has been confirmed that getting too many items
  in a single fight can cause your PSP to lock up, forcing you to turn
  it off.  You can already notice that you're already pushing the game
  a bit too much when even at around only 30 items, the end mission
  report won't display all your items.  To be on the safe side, just
  make sure your weapon drop icons don't go below the screen.
