Walkthrough for Guffawha Ruins in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Includes puzzle solutions, item locations, and enemy strategies to help you progress.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Cross the bridge to a split path. Go north for a 1-Up Mushroom, then south to a Save Album. Save and head south.
  2. 2
    In the next area, go down the steps and hit 3 blocks for 2 Mushrooms and a Syrup. Note the black rocks that cannot be broken yet. Jump up ledges and cross the water.
  3. 3
    In the next area, pound the cracked statue. Energy balls will bounce; use your Hammer to knock them into surrounding statues. Hit the blue ball with correct timing; if red, wait until it turns blue.
  4. 4
    Once all statues are activated, a pedestal rises. Hit the switch to open the door ahead.
  5. 5
    Inside, charge the 2 orbs with Thunderhand. Save at the Save Album.
  6. 6
    Go into the north room, defeat the Chuck Guys, and proceed to the northeast room.
  7. 7
    In the northeast room, jump onto the upper platform and hit the exclamation block to raise donut lifts. Quickly jump across them to the other side.
  8. 8
    In the next room, fight enemies. Pass the doorway for now and go east. Defeat a Chuck Guy and hit a block for a Super Mushroom. Return to the room with the doorway you passed.
  9. 9
    Save at the Save Album. You'll face a colored platform puzzle:
  10. 10
    Hit the blue switch, then jump right onto the next level.
  11. 11
    Hit the green switch, jump west onto the third level, then back across to the top.
  12. 12
    Hit the red switch, go south, dropping 2 levels.
  13. 13
    Hit the green switch, jump over the left wall, and hit the blue switch.
  14. 14
    Jump up the platforms to the top-left level and enter the next room.
  15. 15
    Fight the enemies in the current room, then go into the following room.
  16. 16
    In the larger room, jump to the top and hit the exclamation block. This causes platforms and a rock creature to appear on the lower left ledge.
  17. 17
    Drop down. The rock creature will speak to you and challenge you to dodge its fireballs for 30 seconds by jumping between moving platforms. Agree to the challenge.
  18. 18
    If you succeed, the door below will open. Drop into the room and grab the Crabbie Grass.
  19. 19
    Go through the next pipe to reach a room with a Save Album. Use it, then go through the next pipe to return to town.
Tips
  • Remember to save your game frequently at Save Albums.
  • The black rocks in the second area can be broken later with an upgraded Hammer.
  • Pay close attention to the timing when hitting the energy balls in the statue puzzle.
  • The donut lift section requires quick reflexes to avoid falling.
  • The fireball-dodging challenge can be hectic; focus on consistent jumping between platforms.
