The con artist in the sewers does give you rip off deals at first, but it pays off! He
gives you a Life Shroom, a Super Shroom and then a Mushroom and at the end he gives you
Dried Shrooms. Those are the rip offs. (Don't buy the Dried Shrooms, please.) But, he
gives you a star piece once and then the Bump Attack Badge, which you can't get anywhere
else! Once you get the Bump Attack Badge and the Star Piece, never buy from him again.
(Dried Shrooms...want some?)
PS The Bump Attack badge will allow you to bump into weaker enemies and destroy them
immediately, and even let's you get coins and items without battling.It is very useful.
In flower fields you get Syrups, in the sewers you get pow blocks...explore around!

Okay,when you first start fighting them,be sure you have 5 FP a fire flower and a pow
block.
when they pile up on to each other,switch from mario to partner,and use bombettes second
attack(bomb).than they fall over.use marios pow block not that they are on the ground,i
think taking 3 hp from all.than switch bombette to koopa.now you are on mario,use fire
flower.if still not dead,do koopa's special attack.

IF THIS IS DONE CORRECTLY,YOU WILL NOT LOSE *ANY* HEALTH!

way #1: in chapter 4 give tayce t back her cookbook and frying pan. in the shop closest to
her house get 5 volt shrooms and stoor them for 10 coins each. go to gompa village and get
5 goomnuts from the tree closest to the gate and go to a shop and stoor them. next go to
dry dry outpost and get 5 dried mushrooms from the shop and stoor them. and take out the
goomnuts and volt shrooms. next go the tayce t and cook the goomnuts and shrooms to get
life shrooms. next go to the shop and get the dried shrooms. then cook the dried shrooms
and life shrooms to get a shroom stake that sell for 45 coins each at the shop closest to
tayce t              way #2: sleep in the hotel in shiver city and when you wake up there
will be a potato. go to tayce t and cook it. then cook the potato salad with the shroom
stake to get a deluxe feast. they sell at the shop by tayce t for 60 coins each!!!. you
spend 10 $ for the volt shroom and 2$ 4 the dried shroom and get 60 $ in return
