EQUIPMENT SETUPS ============================================================================== This section is mainly for completionists that have found all of the equipment in the game. If you are missing some equipment, check my above sections on accessory rankings and armor rankings to create a great setup without some of the equipment that you are missing. All of the setups involve the Quartz Charm, Attack Scarf, and Troopa Pin. Make sure you try the setups before e-mailing negative feedback. Also, if you want to tell me your own brilliant setups, I'll post them in this FAQ and give you credit. I believe that certain characters are better than others, and therefore certain setups should usually be tried with the better characters. In my opinion, I think the order of characters from strongest to weakest is as follows ( excluding Mario ): 1. Geno ( Fairly better than Toadstool ) 2. Toadstool ( Fairly Better than Bowser ) 3. Bowser ( Very Slightly better than Mallow ) 4. Mallow If I were to place Mario, I would place him between Toadstool and Bowser ( Toadstool being only very slightly better than Mario ). Obviously, setups vary because of different types of battles ( regular, bosses, etc. ). So, I've tried to make the best general setup that takes as much as possible into account. The general pattern for my setups is maximizing the amount of damage with an attack I do this by coupling the Super Suit with the Troopa Pin or Quartz Charm. The attack increase from the Super Suit (+50) combined with the attack multiplier of the Troopa Pin or Quartz Charm (1.5x) does greater damage than giving an attack enhancing item without an attack multiplier. For defense, I give the Quartz Charm to the person with the weakest defense. Cutting 100 points of damage in half is more effective than cutting 50 points of damage in half. Coupling Lazy Shell armor with defense multipliers is unneccessary. There is very little damage to reduce because the Lazy Shell armor already provides extremely high defense. In my opinion, the Lazy Shell armor is better to be used without defense multipliers. The following are my setups for battles. Remember these are just opinions, but they are pretty good. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.01: Mario / Geno / Toadstool ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Setup #1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | | Mario: Lazy Shell |Geno: Star Gun |Toadstool: Frying Pan Lazy Shell | Super Suit | Royal Dress Attack Scarf | Troopa Pin | Quartz Charm | | Final Speed: 30 |Final Speed: 80 |Final Speed: 24 | | Attack: +70 |Attack: +107 |Attack: +90 Defense: +157 |Defense: +50 |Defense: +48 | | Mg.

With this setup, everyone is protected from bad status effects, instant death, and many magic attacks. Geno Boost increases the damage you do by 50% and reduces the damage you take by 50%.

Mario's speed is so amazingly high with this build, that if you initiate the Culex battle with this setup, Mario will take his turn before Culex talks in battle. All of his stats are incredibly high, that it makes the third character unnecessary." "Geno or Peach can be substituted depending on who you like to use. Unless engaged in a boss battle, Peach should not be in the party. Mallow should be used in her place with the troopa pin and his specific armor, and the general strategy with him is to use strictly spells, unless there are less than 3 monsters." "If Bowser is substituted, use the Troopa Pin, and Heal shell. Use regular attacks." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | | Mario: Lazy Shell |Geno: Star Gun |Toadstool: Frying Pan Super Suit | Star Cape | Lazy Shell Attack Scarf | Quartz Charm | Troopa Pin | | Final Speed: 80 |Final Speed: 30 |Final Speed: 20 | | Attack: +170 |Attack: +57 |Attack: +70 Defense: +80 |Defense: +36 |Defense: +127 | | Mg.

MISCELLANEOUS ============================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.01: Frequently Asked Questions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Q: Why did you rank Geno as the best character? A: -Geno is well-balanced in every stat -Geno has excellent Special attacks (Geno Whirl, Geno Boost, Geno Flash) -It is just my opinion, perhaps you should test the strengths and weaknesses of each character and form your own opinion 2. Q: Why do you give Mario the Lazy Shell armor instead of Toadstool? A: -I substituted Lazy Shell armor for Toadstool with the Quartz Charm, which halves damage taken from enemy attacks. This allows Toadstool to still survive very easily -I want Mario to always live, because he can never replaced during battle. Giving him strong defense is the way to survive. -I like to keep Toadstool's speed high enough so that she can take her turn quickly enough to heal the party before the enemies attack -The Lazy Shell armor decreases the amount of HP that Toadstool can heal 3. Q: I do not like your setups/rankings, mine are better. A: -Perhaps you should actually try my setups and rankings -If yours are better, please send them to me and I will post them -It is all just an opinion, neither of us is right or wrong 4. Q: What do you mean by some accessories (like the Quartz Charm) reducing damage taken from enemies, and increasing damage done to enemies by 50%? A: An increase of 50% is the same as 1.5x or 1.5 times the amount of damage that would have occurred without the accessory being equipped. For example: Mario does 100 points of damage to an enemy. After equipping the Quartz Charm, he will do (1.5 x 100) points of damage, which equals 150. Mallow gets damaged 100 points from an enemy. After equipping the Quartz Charm, he will receive half of the damage (100 divided by 2), which equals 50. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5.02: Credits and Thank You's ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1.
