Special Spells
Go to the alley right next to Toad's house in Dry Dry Outpost. Jump forward over the left box and the camera will swing around to reveal a hidden area. Talk to Merlee to learn about her special spells. Depending on how much money you spend, she will help you during and after battles. The spells do wear off after a certain amount of time, but until then, it provides you with additional attack power during some battles and more coins after battles.

Hidden Playroom
Go south in Toad Town until you get to the area with the Li'l Oink Farm. Go left immediately after you enter this area (there is a narrow passageway that's not fenced off). Hit the tree with your hammer and a pipe will appear on the right. You can now enter the playroom, but need either a Silver and/or Gold card to play the games.

Lots of Special Power Ups
First you must go to Mt. Rugged. The path is pretty straight forward until the path branches up or down. Go down. You will eventually come across a blue thing that pops out of the ground. Hit it with your hammer (he/she is not an enemy) and it's bump will fall off. Pick it up, as it can recover 25HP & 25FP.! Now keep re-entering the screen and it will reappear. It does eventually run out though.

Battle Tactics
When you are in a battle and somebody is attacking you press A just before the guy hits you. This will keep you from getting hurt. When you are attacking push B right before you hit them. This makes the hit hurt a lot more. When using the hammer push the joystick to the left until the last light lights up. Immediately let the joystick go to the center. This will also make the hit hurt a lot more.

Letters, Letters!
After you get Parakarry, a lot of people(?) will ask you to send letters to friends. You'll also have to send the three that you picked up for Parakarry. You have to start by delivering the three you already have. But don't think this is easy! You will have to travel twice to Dry Dry Outpost. (by the way, you know that vulture that stops you at the bridge? Just tell him you're Luigi and he won't bother you).

Infinite Items from Trees
Once you have received a hammer, use it to hit trees. The tree by where you begin gives you an endless supply of acorns that revive your FP by 3. You must go somewhere else to get another acorn, though. You can also get coins, star pieces, and a weird doll as well.

Find Dry, Dry, Ruins
Go to the oasis in Dry, Dry, Desert. Get a lemon and give it to Seek, or whatever, he'll tell you to go to the market in Dry, Dry, Outpost and buy a dried scroon, then the dusty hammer in that order. The onwer will tell you how to find to the guy who knows where the ruins are. Go to the door Seek was standing infront of and go out the side door. Jump on the crates onto roof and go left. You'll find a door. Seek is in there, but HE'S really the guy you're looking for. He'll give you a pulse stone. Then go to the desert. A cloud showing the stone will flash. The near you get to the area where Dry, Dry, Ruins is, the faster the stone flashes. When it is flashing rapidly, go up to a stone with a hole in it. Put the stone in it, and BAM! The ruins pop out of the ground!

Chet Rippo And Rip Cheato
These are two characters that you run into during your travels. If their names don't tell you enough about them, I will. Chet Rippo is in South Toad Town somewhere. He offers to upgrade your HP, FP, or BP for 39 coins. He will upgrade whatever one you choose to the equivilent of two level ups. What he doesn't tell you is that he takes away one upgrade from your other stats (ex. BP goes up by six, but HP and FP both go down by 5). Only use him to rearrange your stats. Rip Cheato sells items. Who would really buy stuff from someone with both "rip" and "cheat" in their name?!? Anyway, he charges 64 coins for an item you don't know. I believe that there is a chance you may get a starpiece from him, I'm not sure. An example of an item is a life shroom. It's a great item, but can be purchased in Shiver City (the snowy town) for about half the price that Rip sells it to you.

Weird Toad
Go to Koopa Village and enter the house with the palm trees on top of it. Press "A" on the radio until you get to a station that says something about a eccentric toad near the entrance of Toad Town. Get a Koopa leaf (from one of the bushes nearby) and take it to the entrance of Toad Town. A toad will look different from the others (trust me you'll notice him). Talk to him and he will give you something special!
