- Consider saving your game before the Shroob boss battle, especially if you are doing a low-level playthrough.
- 25 1-Up Deluxes are recommended for shopping in Toad Town.
- You may have enough Star Candies to not worry about other items.
- The 300 Coins for the location of the other three Attack Pieces is considered a good deal for an excellent Special.
