In reference to the sixth link on the Japanese site, I note that the green shell stat is called SP, rather than BP.

Super Mario Bros is how they came to the Mushroom Kingdom.

Mario Bros. took place in Brooklyn as well.

Mario Chat / Re: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Finally enough Hoo Beans for the Piranha Suit!

But some of those locations (Joke's End) come after the Pirahna Bean fight.

Yeah, I added them as extra reference. There are in all 27 hidden beans shown that appear before the fight, and around a dozen non-hidden blocks not shown.

@LD: As far as I know, it was fairly common knowledge that the Piranha Suit was the rare drop, but I couldn't find anything about anyone getting it - and proving it possible - without cheating until a post marked July 2008

@BP: HP-Auto Gain and DEF +30, same as the Wool Trousers, I believe.

Mario Chat / Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga - Finally enough Hoo Beans for the Piranha Suit!

« on: February 10, 2009, 05:25:05 PM »

For the longest time, people (including myself) have wanted to get the Piranha Suit, rather than the Piranha Swing badge, from the Piranha Bean boss. However, as only Luigi fights it, you cannot use the Swing Bros. attack, and until July 2008, no one had found enough Hoo Beans to make the final drink necessary for the Game Boy Horror SP.

Now, nearly all of the hidden Hoo Beans in the game are indicated on the following map sections. Check out Peardian's original M&L: SS maps on www.vgmaps.com for the complete maps of these areas.



Two beans are unaccounted for, as supposedly, "...an elevated platform that’s right up against the western wall in a small room [in Joke's End] features an Invisible Block", and "A tiny, elevated platform up against the northern wall [of some unclarified part of Bowser's Castle] is surrounded by lava. An Invisible Block floats above this tiny platform." Both are very ambiguous statements, and both Joke's End and Bowser's Castle are playable after the surfing minigame is accessible.

There is also rumor of a hidden block(s) in Chateau de Chucklehuck, but this could be a confusion with the hidden area containing a Super Nut, Super Syrup, and coins. Also, the Joke's End bean could possibly be located in the room indicatedwith the Scaratroopea and Snifit (marked with a "?").

I am unable to figure out the authenticity (and/or clear identity) of the locations of  these Hoo Beans, but at any rate, the 15 pre-Piranha Bean locations should be more than enough to get the Game Boy Horror SP before the boss.

I personally am not an Animal Crossing fan, but CF seems more of an improvement on WW than M&L 3 looks to be on PiT.

The e-Reader isn't region-free. To use the cards that weren't released in the US, he would in fact need a Japanese e-Reader. Not that it would be particularly hard to come by.

I thought so, and I wouldn't trust the cards that did stuff like change 1-up Mushrooms to 3-up Moons to work on an American copy of SMA4. I would have thought the Japanese e-Reader hard to find, though, and certainly the cards themselves.

I thought I was lucky to have the Famicom Mini SMB2(j) cart for the GBA and a Chinese SMB2(j) guide to go with it.

EDIT: Wow. Can't find a picture or description of that guide anywhere, so here are a couple of pictures...






What I really would like to find are the Japanese Super Mario Advance 4 e-Reader cards, but the chances of finding them, as well as a Japanese SMA4 cart and a Japanese eReader, are one in a million...

Nice. I notice that the max score is 99,999,999 whereas in most of the other games, it is 9,999,990 or 99,999,990. Hmm...

I'd still like to know what the moon/mushroom meter means. I notice that it shows up on one of the blocks (along with Jump, Hammer, Bros. Items, etc.) on this page:

(It's the orange block w/the green and red thing, the shapes look like a mushroom and moon to me, anyway).

Could you post a video or picture or something? I don't have a Game Genie or emulator.
