Super Mario RPG (Switch): Check out the post-game bosses menu

New edition of Super Mario RPG It doesn't reinvent the wheel and brings some dramatic changes to the classic Super Nintendo RPG. However, a great addition to the content is the ability to encounter many of the game's bosses again in different, more challenging ways.

Follow the guide below to learn more about these optional encounters and complete everything the game has to offer once and for all.

Just a dream

After defeating Smithy, close the Super Mario RPG story and watch the credits, the game will save your progress and it will be possible to go back a little and continue with the same save in the state it was before the last dungeon encounter.

The proper interpretation of the story is that Mario was asleep and was dreaming of the final battle. After waking up at home, the plumber receives a message that he has the right to spend one night at the hotel in Marymoor.

Staying overnight at the hotel to watch the scene of Jeno looking at the stars through the window.

Bellumi scratched his throat

Location: Land's End – Belome Temple

The first encounter in the boss list after the match is against Belome in her Scratchy-Throat version. The battle against Angry Throat Belome isn't much different from the previous encounters, but it's definitely harder than before.

You will find him inside his temple, the Belome Temple, located in the Land's End area.

Belome will create copies of your team's characters, and you'll have to deal with them first. Bowser is the more annoying clone thanks to his high number of health points, but Peach or Mallow are very easy to deal with.

Belome has 4,600 HP and is weak to the elements Lightning (Electric), Fear (Fear), Poison (Poison), and Mute (Mute). The first step towards the end president The quickest thing possible is to place the item that protects status changes (Security Badge) on Peach to ensure her constant presence – and healing – during the encounter. When it comes to dealing damage, Mallow's electric attack, Shocker, is very effective in bringing the villain's life points back to zero.

After defeating Belome, you will obtain Mallow's best weapon in the entire game, the Sage Stick.

Level up Punchinello

Location: Mulville – Mulville Mines

Your reunion with Punchinello in his new leveled-up version, Leveled-Up Punchinello, will happen again near the end of the mines in Moleville. This time, the Explosion Master is really invested in this theme and can only be defeated if you use the villain's special bombs.

With no weaknesses and very high defense, it doesn't even matter what it is president Only 1200 HP The boss will constantly summon bombs during battle, and if one of them goes off on one of your characters they will almost certainly die.

Attacking Punchinello directly doesn't do much good, but if you attack the bombs can change direction and explode directly in the boss's face. Remember not to use special area attacks to avoid attacking the bombs that Punchinello is already facing.

After defeating Punchinello again, you will obtain Bowser's best weapon available in the game, the Wonder Chomp.

Engine 023 booster

Location: Al Daam Tower

You'll find Booster again at the top of the tower that bears his name, Booster Tower. When you arrive, the villain will soon include you and the entire team on his train journey.

This battle is very frustrating if none of your characters have the speed to attack before the Booster, but it's pretty easy if you're naturally fast. Focus on the attacker with the highest speed on your device partyWhich is likely to be Gino or Mario himself. To ensure your ally's agility, equip the Feather item.

It's important to be quick because Booster launches a train attack that can kill all of your characters at once if you let him launch the entire attack while he's working. To prevent this from happening, you need to break the villain's concentration with an attack.

Peach can save him with any healing spell, but Mallow is more useful in confrontation. Booster's minions are weak to the ice element, and Mallow has access to Snowy, an ice spell that deals area damage. Another correct strategy is to focus on Booster all the time and press the Booster button Work orders To use the area damage bonus from normal hits.

After defeating Booster, you'll win Geno's best weapon in the game, the Stella 023.

Luxury add-on package

Location: Marymoor Church

Peach's wedding cake with Booster is back, and it's even more elegant and special. Or rather, it can now easily blow up in your face if you let all the candles burn at the same time.

Pundit is accompanied in combat by two chefs who take no damage and can light two of the five candles each turn (they each light one candle). Although Big Cake's minions cannot take damage, they can be rendered incapacitated in one specific way: by falling asleep.

It's important to protect Peach from possible status-altering Bundt attacks, so be sure to equip the princess with a Security Badge. During the encounter, it should also be noted that only physical attacks can extinguish the candles and buy Mario and his gang more time.

After defeating Bundt, you will receive a permanent brooch, an item that can revive an ally once per battle.

Duel ready Johnny

Location: Sunken Ship – Pirate Headquarters

This is perhaps the most specific battle in this list of post-Endgame reunions. When you face off against the pirate leader, Johnny, again, you will only be able to use Mario during combat.

As in many other tournament fights of the time, Work orders Essential for you to ensure success. Defend as much as you can and double your damage to defeat the shark and move forward as quickly as possible.

The battle is very difficult if you don't already have Mario's custom Lazy Shell item. Getting these shells is not complicated, follow the guide to find them quickly and easily.

After defeating Bundt, you will obtain the Ultra Shiny Stone, an item that opens the door to the final battle against the 3D Culex.

Mario Style Jinx

Location: Monster Town

Before facing the final boss, the martial arts master of Monstro Town asks to see the Tri-Move (the special attack between the three characters in the party) in person.

In this fight, all you have to do is focus on getting the triple move percentage as quickly as possible, and don't worry about Jinx's life points.

As always, get as much traffic as possible. Action commands To ensure a good defense and revive your allies whenever necessary. In addition to Jinx's powerful attacks, whenever you miss the perfect timing of the attack, she will counterattack and take a large chunk of one of your characters' life points.

After defeating Jinx in her Mario-style version, you'll obtain the Teamwork Band, an item that increases the charging efficiency of the Triple Moves bar.

3D Culex

Location: Monster Town

The enhanced, 3D version of Culex, a secret boss that looks like it came straight out of any Final Fantasy game, is anything but easy. With 9,999 life points, four crystals that unleash devastating spells, an elemental attack that leaves everyone with one life point each, and even a turn counter that blows your team back from time to time.

Peach is essential and protecting it with a Security Badge and/or Lazy Shell Armor can make all the difference in the world at different times. Trust me, you will have to heal your entire group and constantly revive allies in this battle.

The battle will be long and boring, so the important thing is to be patient and gradually reduce the Culex forces. Focus on each magic crystal and destroy them one by one to make your life much easier over time. As always, also make sure you do it correctly Work orders Whenever possible. Everything that has happened so far in the game has prepared you for this battle, stay tuned and good luck.
