Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Use the following trick if you have trouble defeating the Jabbies in Chapter 2. Use Flurrie as your partner. As soon as the Jabbies come for you, use Flurrie's ability and blow them into the wall. This will stun some of them (indicated by a star above them). The Punies should be able to defeat the Jabbies easily if this is done correctly.

Make sure that you have 60 HP, 60 FP, and 30 BP. When you fight her just as Peach use Vivian as your partner. Then. use the spinning jump and Vivian's Shade Fist until the Shadow Queen turns into her other form. Then switch to Koops. Use his power shell to attack the hands and the body. Then, use the Power Smash badge. Also, when she adds 7 more to her next attack, use either Koops' Shell Shield or Vivians Veil. Make sure both Koops' and Vivian's level is at the highest. Repeat this and you should be able to win. Do not forget to heal and make sure you have a lot of Life Shrooms.

This Boss has a maximum HP of 150. In her first form, she has a max attack of 7 and defense of 0. Use HP and FP Plus Badges and Power and Defense Plus Badges to have a better chance. When she reaches 70 to 80 HP, she turns into her regular form. She is invincible for four turns, then recovers all health. Then, a very long intermission sequence will begin and she will be attackable. Use emergency Sweet Feasts and Supernovas. Her hands are a force to be reckoned with; try using Admiral Bobbery's Bob-ombast or Vivian's Fiery Jynx if either is leveled enough. It may require a few short turns to learn to dodge her attacks. After some steady battling, you will defeat her.

This trick requires some attacking items, some recovery items for backup, Badges of any kind (Close Call, Mega and Power Rushes, and any others that are powerful and that can make your opponents miss more recommended), and Vivian. At the beginning, use up your attacks because your power will recover. When the Shadow Queen changes into her true form, use anything except items. After the intermission sequence and Peach giving Mario her power, do the following. If the Shadow Queen has her big hands, when it is Mario's turn use Power Smash or Spring Jump (recommended) on the Shadow Queen, and not the Hands. When it is Vivian's turnm use Fiery Jynx and that will kill the Hands. When the Shadow Queen uses her Dead Hands, have Mario either use Fire Drive, an item that attacks all enemies, Earth Tremor, or Art Attack. When it is Vivian's turn, have her use Fiery Jynx. This will finish off the Dead Hands. When the Shadow Queen boosts her attack and defense by three, have Mario use Power Smash. When it is Vivian's turn, have her use Fiery Jynx unless there are no Hands of some kind, then use Shade Fist. When the Shadow Queen does a Super Charge, have Mario use Power Smash, Spring Jump, an attacking item, or an attacking Crystal Star Ability. When it is Vivian's turn, have her use Veil. If Mario has low HP, then use an item or Sweet Feast. If Vivian is low, give her a weaker item such as Super Shroom or give her Sweet Feast or Sweet Treat. When the Shadow Queen gets low HP, have Mario use attacking items. Vivian should either attack, or use an attacking item, unless the Shadow Queen does a Super Charge. If that happens, use Veil. After all that, use Supernova and do a good job of it. Have Vivian attack then finish her off.

If you give a Dried Shroom to Zess T., it will make a Mistake. However, this is good because that is actually better than a Dried Shroom! A Dried Shroom replenishes 1 HP and a Mistake replenishes 1 HP and 1 FP.

Required:

- 1 Fire Drive Badge
- 4 or more Super Appeal Badges

If you have that, look for a Lava Bubble (a Red Flame), Ember (a Blue Flame), or Phantom Ember (a Green Flame), start a fight against them.

Use the Fire Drive Badge to heal and Duplicate them, and next defeat these guys, but let one allive! Repeat this trick to get major Star Points. And use the Sweet Treat or Sweet Feast to heal your HP but also FP to use Fire Drive.

After you get the 6th Crystal star, you will be able to make a comeback in the Glitz Pit! However, Jolene accidently destroys your file so you have to start at rank 20 again! It's really quite easy to climb the ranks because you have all those powerful new moves! Anyway, when you get to Rank 1 and challenge Rawk Hawk for the championship, equip your 'Hammer Throw' badge. That way, when Rawk Hawk hangs from the ceiling and makes all the stuff fall down, you can use your Hammer Throw to kill him (If Hammer Throw is not equipped, you can't attack him.)

Once you've gotten to PetalBurg in the First Chapter you can use a trick to make easy money. First go to RougePort and buy as many sleepy sheep as you can carry, making sure to fill up your storage box aswell. When your pockets and storage box is full, head over to PetalBurg. Once at Petalburg, go into the Item Shop to sell your sleepy sheep for a 2 coin profit per sheep. Make sure you remember to withdraw and sell all the sleepy sheep you stored. To increase productivity, on the way back to rougueport, stock up on turtley leaves, again filling up the storage box, and sell them at the item shop where you picked up the sleepy sheep to gain 2 coins per leaf. After getting Taste T. you can cook the leaves into koopa tea for an extra 1 coin per leaf.

As soon as Chapter 1 is available you can buy as many Sleepy Sheep as you can carry and/or store at the Rougeport Toad Bros. shop and you can sell them all at the Petalburg shop for a 2 coin profit each. Doing so will also give you 1 store point per Sleepy Sheep and an item per 10 store points, most of which are normally difficult to get at this point in the game. This strategy can be used to help defeat the Pit of 100 Trials before defeating Chapter 1's boss, among other benefits to having late game items early.

When you get into the Glitz Pit, fight until you are near rank 7 or 8. You should now be fighting 'the fuzz'. Kill the black Fuzzie that has 3 HP then kill the Flower Fuzzy (pinky). Next, keep the green one near 1 HP remaining. He will split in two. Kill one of them (always leave one alive). It also helps when you have Koops out for a partner. Just leave Mario in front and Koops in back and use his Shell Shield (new attack when you upgrade him). Every time that it breaks, put a new one on. It helps to have some Happy Heart or Happy Flower badges equipped. Keep doing this and you can get 50 Star points in about five minutes.

Need more Turtley leaves for all of Zess. T's recipes? Easy. One way is to solve Kroop's trouble and he'll give you a Turtley leaf. If you ever need more, simply go in front of his house and behind the front fence and there'll be 3 bushs. Rattle each one and one of them should give out one. The bush that gives out the leaves always change and when you get one, you have to go off screen first and then come back. Quite handy if you want all the recipes.

Okay. First go toward the left. Then U "Accidentally" break Zess T.'s contact. go to the shop and order the contact lense. "U R gonna have to beat Chapter 1" After U beet it, go 2 the shop and they will have it. Give it 2 Zess T. BAM! She'll let U threw. P.S. if U dont youll have to do this later and take time to wait for the lense.
