Mario and Luigi have returned for another RPG, only this time theyre not alone. A rip in the space-time continuum has allowed Mario and Luigi to team up with infant versions of themselves! With the patented timed attacks of past Mario RPGs still intact, the
action has never been more frantic.
With Princess Peach in the custody of the evil Shroob race, it is up to you to lead Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi on a quest to find all of the pieces of the shattered
Cobalt Crystal and then rescue her. Wait, the Princess needs help? Of course she does, this is a Mario game! Youre going to need some help, too, to conquer this massive and tricky RPG and that
is why IGN Guides is here. Think of us like an even smaller baby on Baby Marios shoulder; always ready to help out in a pinch.

Hint: Yoshi Boss
Against the boss in the giant Yoshi, attack each of the eggs until you free all the Yoshi. Use the Bros. move on the boss when it is knocked down to do the damage you need to defeat it.
Hint: Giant Caterpillar Tip
When trying to defeat this catepiller, dont hit him when he is red. Hit the mushroom to put the grey poison mushroom in his drink. When he turns green, you can attack. Be careful of putting in red mushroom as it recharges the catepiller.
Hint: Fight The Shroob
Increase your party to 30 or more and requisition the following items: trampolines and copy flowers. When the boss is inside the globe, use the trampoline to destroy it and use copy flowers to help do damage. If you can inflict over 800 damage per character for a few turns, the boss will be defeated easily.
Hint: Fighting The Giant Pirahna
When you get to the bottom of the Koopaseum, make sure to load up on a lot of fire brother items in the secret shop. Use the move where Mario shoots out water on the flames then use his hammer on the crack on the wall to enter the secret shop. After you get to the Giant Pirahna, use the fire brother items on it and itll do about 50 to 90 damage.
Hint: Wack-O Elast-O
While fighting Elasto Piranahs, always attack from the top where its vulnerable. Attacking from the side will only do one point of damage.
