For me, Mix Flowers don't do it; although they can cause some massive damage, there is a limit to how fast you can physically respond. Trampolines and Copy Flowers never interested me much for bosses, anyway. With Pocket Chomps, however, it is quite easy to tell Mario and Luigi apart and respond accordingly, even after dozens of hits. I've killed every boss from the Shrooboid Brat onward in less than 3 turns with Pocket Chomps, causing over 2000 damage (with one item!) to the Elder Princess Shroob.

How about you guys?

I use shells because I've had a lot of experiance with them and they can do massive damage, especially the red shell.

I do like the shells, but my favorite has to be the Mix Flowers (which I voted for).

I forget exactly when they appear in the game, but many a boss takes just a few turns with a couple of these babies. Oh, and Copy Flowers are great too, as long as there is just one target on the field that you want to do massive damage to (Princess Shroob, for example)

How is that a spoiler? I'll put this in spoiler text just in case. It's shown early in the game that Princess Shroob is the leader of the the Shroobs. It's a HUGE spoiler that she has a sister though.

I marked it incase nobody knew that I was referring to the younger sister.

Don't you mean Older Sister?

On topic:I said shells; one of the reasons is because they're common but with the Ulti-Free Badge any item is great.

Once I get Mix Flowers, I use them on bosses all the time because they are very powerful. At a high enough level, they always deal 999 damage (the max you can hit on an enemy), and that makes boss battles seem like a breeze.
The Mario series is the best! It has every genre in video games but RTS'! It also has a plumber who does different roles, a princess, and a lot of odd creatures who don't seem to poop!

But at the same level, if you're good with Pocket Chomps, you can do well over 999 damage, as it does multiple hits.

I sort of liked it better in M&L: SS when you could do over 10,000 damage with Swing Bros. at 999 POW and Red Peppers.

I typically use Mix Flowers if there are many enemies/targets, and Copy Flowers if there's only one.

Pocket Chomps as well as Trampolines are my least favorite. I rarely, if ever, use them.

Wow! N64 Chick posted! How've you been??

I usually sell the Eggs, Chomps, Trampolines and Cannons. That way I always have a steady amt of money going on.

Well, it would take a little longer for Pocket Chomps to hit 999 damage than it will for Mix Flowers, unless you're around levels 70-100, but overall Pocket Chomps do inflict more damage.

A little rough, but I'm taking a bit of a vacation from home at the moment.

Well, glad to see you back anyway! Sorry to hear things are still rough.

Back to the game: I started a new file, and am already up to the Shrooboid Brat fight. I don't recall what items were good against it. I have Green shells and Fire/Ice Flowers. I'm not very good with the other items..

I use Ice flowers because of their mad stat-lowering-ness. After that I usually go with shells, but I think I use the flowers a bit more.

Copy Flowers attack one enemy at a time though.

I've been thinking about this:

What's better if you're fighting multiple enemies and you want to focus on on one? A Cannon Ball or Trampaline?
