? Sleep at the Toad House  -- Skip this is 2+ Fright Jars failed.   -- Have you got a better idea? Maybe you could get the Chapter 1 Maple or something, but then you would have to change up the item route to keep it, so it'd probably work out to be slower. Maybe you could kill the 2 Dark Koopas without using FP? Or maybe you could have some FP by not using a Shell Shot on Blooper. Then Power Quake / Thunder Rage? I guess that sounds like maybe it could be faster... But I'm done working on this route.

About checking the Badge Shop:
- There are 3 badges that you can get that can help.
- They are Jump Charge, Dodge Master, and All or Nothing.
- Jump Charge only saves time in Chapter 6. All or Nothing doesn't save time until after Chapter 7. Dodge Master is just nice to have in general.
- You have a few coins at this point, so if you want to help ensure that you do get those badges, you can check the badge shop a few times between now and when you finally farm coins from Smash Attack.
- If you do buy a badge then you have to remember to buy one less badge at some point between now and after the end of Chapter 6, in order to balance out your coins.
- To be honest, finding these badges isn't exactly necessary, and they don't really save any time. Just a couple seconds here and there; not really worth going in and out of the shop.
- There comes a point in the run though when you NEED to have found Dodge Master and All or Nothing. You need them both for the Dojo.
- But at that point in the run, there are only 3 badges left in the shop, so there's a very good chance you'll have found them anyway.
- And even if you haven't, they will be there on the way to the Dojo, and you will probably have some coins--not enough to buy all three badges, but probably enough to buy the one you're looking for.
- So the only reason, really, to check the badge shop, is if you want to ensure that you have the help of Dodge Master in the upcoming fights.
- You can't really afford to carry around safety Life Shrooms, so Dodge Master might be especially useful in this run, even though it tends to cause a lot of extra equips.
- In general I did avoid strats that relied on not getting bad bounce RNG, whether you have Dodge Master or not, but it's still a nice badge to have.
- So I'll at least make a note of each time you pass the badge shop, in case you do want to check for those badges.

Farm Coins from Smash Attack [999 Coins]
- Hit the tree in the upper-left and go down the pipe
- Talk to the guy to open the pipes
- Smash Attack is the 2nd pipe
- If you farm to 999 coins, you will have a buffer of approximately 25 coins (depends on coin RNG).
- So you will want 985, minimum, and that's cutting it really close.
- That said, there's a back-up plan at the end of the run to make up to 42 coins
- Depending on how many coins you need, this back-up plan may or may not be slower than doing an extra round of Smash Attack. 13-30 coins and it's about even.
- If you've bought extra badges from the badge shop already, then subtract their prices from the number of coins you need to have after farming.

Farm the remaining Quizmo Starpieces: [156 SP][64 Q]
- First let me explain how Quizmo works.
- He has two main properties: His location, and whether or not he appears at his location.
- After you find him, he stops appearing at his location until you visit a village different from the one you last found him in.
- But when you do so, it also reactivates his ability to change locations.
- Now every time you visit a screen of a village, he has a random chance to change his location to one of the screens in that village (not necessarily the screen you're currently on).
- But the key is this: If he chooses not to change his location (which is likely), he stays at the last location that you found him. So you can head immediately back to that village and get him without having try to get him to spawn.
- Note that if the village you last found him on has multiple locations where he can spawn, when you go to that village, he still retains his ability to change locations. So you could go back to that village and find that he's changed to a different location in that same village.
- Once he decides to change his location though (and he can decide to change it to the same place that he currently is), he stays there until you go to another village again.
- So to actually farm Quizmo, first go to Goomba Village and go in and out of the loading zone to the area where you first landed until he spawns. (You wouldn't do this if you saw him when you were last at Koopa Village, though. I'm just explaining the general proceedure.)
- Then go straight to Koopa Village and quickly check if he's below the pipe there.
- If he's not, then you should immediately return to Goomba Village -- it's likely that he's still there.
- If he is there below the pipe, this time when you go to Goomba Village, quickly check that location and immediately return to Koopa Village if he's not there, because, again, it's likely he's still back at the pipe in Koopa Village.
- But if you arrive at the place where it was likely that he is, only to find out that he's not there, that means he's decided to change his location to the other screen of Koopa Village.
- If you're at Koopa Village when you discover this, go and get him before returning to Goomba Village.
- Once you're back at Goomba Village, start the process over by getting him to spawn at Goomba Village again.
- The first time that you're on Koopa Village and you realize he's spawned on the other screen of Koopa Village, get a Koopa Leaf [10 Items] -- Get a 2nd Koopa Leaf if you're playing the English version.
- If it looks like that situation is never going to occur, just get the Koopa Leaf on your last visit to Koopa Village.
- Also when you get the Koopa Leaf is the best time to get the Starpiece above the brick block [157 SP]
Once you've answered all 64 of Quizmo's questions, return to the sewers

- Segment 78 -
Beat Super Blooper [859 XP]
- Turn 1: Super Charge / Shell Shot / Block

- Turn 3: Air Raid -- First do a Jump, if only 4 bounces.
- Without Dodge Master you're risking getting less bounces, and without All or Nothing you'll be doing less damage, but you should still be able to beat him in 3 turns, though the adjustments based on how many bounces you get will have to be different.
- Obtain Shrink Stomp [57 B]
- Unequip All or Nothing and Spin/Bump Attack. You can probably save time if you equip Power Quake, if you have some leftover FP.

Chance to check the Badge Shop
- So if I told you to not buy all 9 badges earlier because you were spending too many coins, visit the shop now and buy one.
- Or if you still don't have Dodge Master and/or All or Nothing, you may have enough coins right now to visit the badge shop and buy them/it. If you don't, that's your problem.
- It's OK if you spend all the coins you have right now.
Enter the Dojo
Fight Chan for the First Degree Card:
- Power Bounce 4-5-4-3   -- Remember throughout all of this that All or Nothing is on and you need to hit the action command on the last bounce.
Fight Lee for the Second Degree Card:
- Jump / Switch to Bow / Block -- The attack you have to block depends on what partner you had out at the start of the fight. It should be Parakarry but it might be Bombette or Bow. Bombette's is a harder block than Parakarry's. For Bow you have to block 4 of 6. I didn't check the timing on these attacks to find out which was fastest.
