I've been playing through SMRPG. I saved at the very beginning and intentionally haven't saved since. My goal is to keep playing through and getting game overs to get every character to level 30 as early in the game as possible. Because I don't really care about losing, I'm playing much more riskily than I usually do. Got to Booster Tower with Mario at level 8 and Mallow and Geno around level 5. Only had one Pick-Me-Up left, so when Mallow and Geno died in battle, I didn't bother reviving them, since Mario could handle most things on his own. At the fireball floor, Mallow leveled up, replenishing all his HP, and I replaced Geno with Bowser. Skipped the Booster fight and went on to Knife Guy and Grate Guy. Geno died pretty early on. Mario died, I used the Pick-Me-Up, and then he died again, leaving Bowser, asleep, against both of them on piggyback. Bowser had about 30 HP left when they both ran out of FP. He woke up after a few turns, and used a Mushroom, and then started attacking Knife Guy. The two of them separated, Grate Guy put Bowser to sleep, and then they piggybacked, but still had no FP, so nothing happened for five turns or so. Bowser killed Knife Guy eventually, and Grate Guy's only solo attacks were the sleep bubble, Echofinder, and a physical attack that I can dodge pretty easily. Pretty much every time he put Bowser to sleep, he followed up with Echofinder, and Mute apparently cancels out Sleep. So Bowser beat him too. That was pretty sweet.
