Tips
  • The hints for the puzzle are scattered throughout the underground areas.
  • The best Special to use against the Shroobs is Snack Basket.
  • You should have enough SP (Special Points) between Mario and Luigi to use Snack Basket the required 2-3 times.
  • 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.
