Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars/Bosses: Difference between revisions

'''Difficulty:''' Easy<BR>

=== Notable Attacks ===

'''Hammer Time:'''  Hammer Bro will throw four hammers on this attack.  Wait until about one second after all four hammers hit to do a defense timed hit.  If left undefended, this attack can do 10+ damage.

'''Valor Up:'''  Valor Up raises Hammer Bro's defense by 25, making him difficult to defeat.  When you defeat one of the two Hammer Bros, the other one will immediately use this move.   

=== Description ===

'''Difficulty:''' Hard<BR>

=== Notable Attacks ===

'''Bomb:''' This is a strong attack and can't be blocked.  Usually does around 15-25 damage.

'''Weird Mushroom:'''  Croco recovers 60 HP.  He uses this when he's low on HP, but sacrifices two turns.

=== Description ===

'''Difficulty:''' Normal<BR>

=== Notable Attacks ===

'''Flame Wall:''' This attack hits all of your characters, but the attack doesn't do too much damage to be considered a huge threat.

'''Flame:''' Flame is like Flame Wall except it only hits one person, but it does a lot more damage.  Ideally you want this attack to hit Mallow because his Magic Defense is high.

=== Description ===

'''Difficulty:''' Normal<BR>

=== Notable Attacks ===

'''S'Crow Funk:''' Turns one character into a Scarecrow.  The Trueform Pin found in the Kero Sewers will protect against this.

'''Sleep-Sauce:''' Puts one character to sleep.

'''Eat Mallow:'''  Every now and then Belome will eat Mallow, leaving Mario by himself.  Mallow takes no damage, but if Mario falls while Mallow is swallowed it's game over.

=== Description ===

'''Difficulty:''' Easy<BR>

=== Notable Attacks ===

'''Disable Y, X, A:''' Bowyer can disable your Y, X, or A buttons temporarily.<BR>

'''G'Night:''' Puts one character asleep.<BR>

'''Static E!:''' Hits all characters.  This move really hurts Mario and ???, but Mallow can usually survive this attack easily.<BR>

'''Lightning Orb:''' Like Static E, except only against one target.

=== Description ===

Bowyer looks like a threat but is actually very easy.  The following strategy will guarantee Bowyer will never disable A, use Static E, or use Lightning Orb.  First turn, regular attacks with all of your characters.  Second turn, put everyone on defense.  Repeat this order until Bowyer is defeated.  This strategy makes this fight a lot easier.  Using this strategy, Bowyer will either disable X or Y, which means you still need to keep recovery items just in case you can't use HP Rain.  Equip the Wake Up Pin to Mallow to keep your healer from falling asleep.

'''Difficulty:''' Hard<BR>

=== Notable Attacks ===

'''Bomb:''' Same as the last fight.  Can't be blocked, except this time it does more damage.

'''Chomp:''' Croco throws a random object at you.  This attack really hurts if you fail a timed hit.

=== Description ===

'''Difficulty:''' Normal<BR>

=== Notable Attacks ===

'''Will-O-Wisp:''' Hits one character with heavy damage.  This attack can't be blocked.

=== Description ===

Punchinello will begin the fight by throwing out Micro Bombs.  These are smaller versions of Bob-Ombs.  Once you have taken off about a third of his HP he will summon regular Bob-Ombs instead.  Then after you take out another third of his HP he will send out Mezzo Bombs.  Mezzo Bombs do heavy amounts of damage even through a timed defensive hit, luckily he only sends out three at a time instead of four.  Keep in mind that the bombs will not always attack when they are summoned. You need to keep a close eye on them because they will attack out of turn.  Punchinello will occasionally use Sand Storm which can make this fight extremely hard.  While feared you take double damage.  If you can afford it buy a Fearless Pin from Rose Town, two of them if you can.  Focus all of your attacks on Punchinello.  If you spend time on the bombs you will just open yourself up to a Sand Storm and he will re-summon the bombs anyway.

'''Meteor Blast (Grate Guy):''' Hits all characters with average damage.<BR>

'''Difficulty:''' Hard<BR>

'''White Beam (Raspberry):''' This move doesn't have a name but it needs to be mentioned.  This move comes out of no where and can usually do around 90% damage to one of your characters, even through Bowser's defense.  Be sure to successfully defend against this attack.

=== Description ===

Mario, Mallow and Bowser are recommended for this fight.  Bundit and Raspberry together make a giant cake, but they won't attack right away.  Torte and Apprentice will be attacking you first, but they do minimal damage.  Focus all attacks on Bundit.  After about three turns of this Torte and Apprentice run off and now you face off against the giant cake.  Bundit will have 5 candles lit when the real fight begins.  Every hit you do will blow out one candle; one candle will regenerate every turn.  So ideally you can net two candles a turn and defeat Bundit in three turns, but it's not that easy.  Raspberry will likely use Sand Storm, which makes Drain Beam and White Beam devastating.  If you haven't done this already, get two Fearless Pins at least.  Fear will only make this already difficult fight harder.  Once you manage to defeat Bundit you just have Raspberry to deal with.  Keep some Elixers handy for this fight, you're going to need it.
