Defeating enemies earns you Star Points. Accumulating 100 Star Points allows you to level up! Upon leveling up, you'll be presented with a choice: increase your HP (Heart Points), FP (Flower Points), or BP (Badge Points). HP determines how much damage Mario can take, FP fuels Special Moves and partner abilities, and BP allows you to equip more badges. Your choice should reflect your playstyle. If you prefer direct combat, HP might be a good choice. If you rely on special moves, FP is vital. Badge enthusiasts will prioritize BP. There's no wrong answer, but consider your current needs and future strategies.
