Introduction | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga doesn't have as many items as many RPG's, but it still has its fair share. This guide is here to help you know everything there is about all of the common items, key items, beans, armor, badges, and pins. Names, descriptions, sources, prices, and users--it's all here. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | III. Version History | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 1.00 Basic layout and much of the guide is taken care of. There are still some items I need to add and some information missing for others. I'm going to play back through in order to get some of the information I missed. There are probably some grammatical errors and spelling mistakes that will need to be taken care of as well. 1.10 The sources for the Wool Trousers and Iron Pants have been added. A bunch of Key Items were also added. There may be a few more but the majority is there. Harhall's Pants and an additional source of Woo Beans were added; thanks to Ghim Yeow Tan for the information! A few more badges and pants have been added. The descriptions for Bowser Fang, Bowser Fist, Sledge Heart, and Ancient Pants are needed. Sources for the Spike Badge and High-End Badge are still missing. If anyone can provide any of this information, it would be greatly appreciated and they would (of course) be given credit. A small Notes section has been created. This way, the notes are less likely to be overlooked. A Table of Contents was also added. All of the sections have been numbered accordingly. 1.11 The sources for the Spike and High-End Badges have been added. Thanks to Matt Hill and AznJon623 for the info! Grinto provided descriptions for tons of items including many that I didn't even have listed! Some of the items are not actually found in the game. A "Lost Items" section has been added for these missing items. Thanks a ton, Grinto! Consequently, I need the attributes, sources for, and wearers of: Chuckola Pants, Heavy Slacks, Jeanie Jeans, Jeaniest Jeans, Light Slacks, Oho Gear, and Safe Guard. I need the Bros. Life and Bros. Respect sources as well. A big thanks to anyone who can provide ANY of this information! 1.12 The Lucky Bros. has been added, but I still need the attributes and description of it. Stats have been added for all of the armor and badges. Another ENORMOUS thanks to Grinto for a lot of that information! There are still plenty of gaps in the information here and there. If anyone can fill in some of those holes, it would be greatly appreciated. 1.20 The armor and badge sections have been heavily reworked. They're easier to read now and look much better. The descriptions make them still look cluttered, but everything else is better structured. There are still plenty of little information gaps. Anyone who can fill one of those gaps, please don't hesitate. 1.21 A correction has been made to the bean section. Thanks to James Third for that! A monster source was added for nuts. Thanks to David Lawrence! 1.22 The format was all messed up when version 1.21 was uploaded. Hopefully, it's all fixed now. 1.23 Qactuar was nice enough to provide quite a few monster sources. Thank a lot for those Qactuar! I also found a few monster sources that are now included. While version 1.22's format was much better than version 1.21's, not everything was fixed. It has since come to my attention that tabs are the Satan of FAQs. Mine was rich with the demonic little buggers but they have been, for the most part, exorcised. Some may still lurk, but they will be dealt with if they cause trouble... 1.24 More sources thanks to Qactuar! He was also kind enough to point out a typo for me. Of course, thanks Qactuar! +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | IV. Notes | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Buy prices are the base rate. Depending on your STACHE, they can be very different. Sale prices are half of the buy price, but they are also subject to STACHE modification. If the source for an item is a monster, then that monster will sometimes leave it when they die. Some drops are more rare than others, there are no guarantees. Use Swing Bros. Advanced or the Game Boy Horror SP to get the most rare items. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | V.
