Wizakoopa Boss Guide

Struggling with the Wizakoopa boss fight in Super Mario RPG (2023)? Get the best strategy, learn its attacks, and discover its weaknesses to overcome this challenge.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Recommended Level: 20
• HP: 1,600
• Weakness: Fear (reduces damage taken/given)

Phases:

1. Summoning Phase: Wizakoopa will primarily summon other enemies to fight for it. You cannot target Wizakoopa while summons are active.
2. Direct Attack Phase: Wizakoopa will occasionally use its own magic spells.

Strategy:

• Wizakoopa itself doesn't attack much, relying on summoned monsters.
• The main threat is summoned enemies, especially King Bomb. If King Bomb is summoned, defeat it immediately. It's weak to Fire and Jump attacks. Mario's Jump attack, especially with a high hit count, is effective.
• Other summons include Jinx Clone and Bahamutt, but they are less critical threats than King Bomb.
• Keep your party's HP above 90-100 to survive potential area-of-effect attacks after a King Bomb explosion.
• For direct damage on Wizakoopa, regular timed attacks are usually sufficient due to its lower HP.
• Using the 'Fear' status effect can reduce the damage Wizakoopa deals and increase the damage you deal.
• Wizakoopa's attacks include:
• Blast: Single-target, moderate damage.
• Will-O-Wisp: Single-target, moderate damage.
• Bolt: Single-target, major damage.
• Flame Wall: Area-of-effect, moderate fire damage.
• Solidify: Area-of-effect, moderate ice damage.
• Summon: Summons King Bomb, Jinx Clone, or Bahamutt.
• After defeating Wizakoopa, you'll receive a chest that provides infinite Coins by repeatedly attacking it for one Coin per jump.
