They can help you fight battles, find secrets, flip switches, jump gaps, and many other things in the game. Each side-kick has 5 of their own moves: 1 primary main move 1 move that requires FP 2 moves that are acquired by leveling up (see section 3) 1 "in-game" move that cannot be used in battles During a battle, you can switch you and your side-kicks battle order by pressing [Y]. In a battle, a sidekick can only: Use their attacks, Use items you are carrying, and use Tactics. They CAN NOT use special attacks, only Mario can do that. If a side-kick dies in battle, the game is NOT over. A Game Over only occurs when Mario is out of HP. Also in battle, party members can be switched by either Mario or the current side-kick himself. When Mario levels up, his sidekicks do not. Sidekicks only gain strength by leveling up themselves. As for the in-game moves, those are used to help Mario in dungeons or any place but in battles. Party Members can be switched at any out-of-battle time by pressing Start then Party or Left on the grey control pad. From there you can view their stats, HP, or descriptions of them and their moves. Party Members that can fight in battles are with you permanently, you can't get rid of them. Only one party member can be in-game or in battle with you at a time. Here are some Frequently Asked Questions about your Party Members: Q: How many party members are there in the game? A: There are a total of 7. 6 that you need to complete the story line, and 1 that you can get as an extra. Q: Who is the most powerful party member? A: This is all a matter of opinion, each one has their own strengths and weaknesses, and each can help you in different ways while defeating enemies or solving dungeon puzzles. Q: In what order do you get the side-kicks? A: Here's the basic order: Goombella Koops Flurrie Yoshi Vivian [Ms. Mowz] Bobbery [Ms. Mowz] Ms. Mowz is an exception and the only party member you DO NOT have to get to finish the game. Ms. Mowz can join your party after Chapter 4, either before or after you get Bobbery. Q: How do i make my partners stronger? A: See section 3. =============================================================================== 3 - Party Member Leveling Up =============================================================================== -The First Time- Go visit Merlin the Magician in Rogueport. His house is on the East side, just to the left of the Professor's House. Once inside Merlin can level up your partners for the cost of 3 Shine Sprites per partner. Once leveled up, each party member will receive: 10 additional HP 1 new move -The Second Time- After you have leveled up each of your partners once, Merlin says he cannot level them up anymore and gives you a clue. You may not understand the clue, but what he wants you to do is "go beyond a black chest". You need to have Admiral Bobbery to complete this. Go back to Hooktail's castle in Pedal Meadows and go to the room where you got cursed for the second time. From there, go right until you reach the room where the spikes where falling in on you, but don't worry that doesn't happen again. Go to the right of the room until you reach the wall. You will see a crack that you can blow up with Bobbery. Throw him at the crack, go inside, hit the block, and a chest will appear. Inside the chest is an "Up Arrow", at first it seems useless but this is really what Merlin needs to level up your partners a second time. Go out of the castle, back to Rogueport and visit Merlin again. Talk to him and give him the Up Arrow. He'll then somehow realize how to level up your partners again. Once leveled up, each party member will receive: 10 additional HP 1 new move The cost is still 3 Shine Sprites per partner. There are a total of 42 Shine Sprites in the game, which is the exact amount you need to level all your party members up 2 times. After all members are leveled up twice, they will have more HP, stronger moves that can be used to defeat enemies quicker, and a less chance of dying in battle. =============================================================================== 4 - Party Member Descriptions =============================================================================== B o b b e r y ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Ability- His in-game ability is to explode.

Press [A] when riding to float through the air. -Where you get Him- In Glitzville, in the Glitz Pit, after you go up against the "Iron Clefts", there is no way to win. So either run away during the battle or just let them kill you (you won't get a Game Over). After loosing the battle, the Yoshi Egg you have will hatch and join your party, which is how you eventaully beat those two. If you don't have the yoshi egg yet, go outside after winning a certain battle and a yoshi egg will be hopping around the hot dog stand. Catch it and it will be yours, and follow you around. *While the side-kick IS a yoshi, you are able to name it when it first hatches, therefore it's name will not always be Yoshi.
