Peach Chart 1.05 by Claude

0 Death, Fight Pandorite, Peach Chart
Version 1.05 by Claude, last updated May 10, 2015

Changes since last draft (v1.04 -> v1.05)

- Complete overhaul of Mallow usage in the early game
	- Mallow now takes Special at Level 3, and uses Thunderbolt during Belome 1. This makes the fight far more consistent while still allowing the same overall early-game strategies to be used (12 FP Belome, 15 FP Bowyer, late Cricket Pie, etc.). Time needed to complete the fight under optimal conditions is almost identical with the previous strat (solo Mario Jumps with a dead Mallow).
	- Mallow does a timed attack versus Bowyer if Mario did only 7 Jumps during the Belome 1 fight (2 damage is exactly enough to keep the current strats the same as is)
	- Mallow takes ATK at both Level 4 & Level 5. He will have slightly less damage during Croco 2 & Punchinello, but it shouldn't affect these fights much (if at all)

- 1 Mushroom is sold during the first Mushroom Kingdom menu
	- Extra Mushrooms past 3 are unneeded if you get into no encounters, and too many Mushrooms makes it possible to run out of inventory space if you get absurd early game freebie luck. Inventory space is more limited in this route due to buying 2 Froggie Drinks & 2 Sleepy Bombs

- Changed the order of bomb usage during Yaridovich to always be Fire -> Ice -> Ice
	- This gives you 10 less damage, but is slightly faster menu wise while still ending on Ice Bombs for the Armored Ants. Yaridovich is obviously still killed in the same amount of turns (1502 total damage instead of 1512).

- Any remaining Froggie Drinks are sold during the Seaside 2 menu
	- Froggie Drinks aren't needed past Yaridovich, and these are usually (always?) located right next to the Flower Box. Extra items get in the way of using bombs.

- Peach & Mario swap armor during the Barrel Volcano Star menu (Work Pants on Mario to get Super Suit on Peach)
	- This makes Peach faster & stronger versus the Jitanda (Corkpedite), skipping both the untimed Mario punch on the Body, as well as Bowser defending. The speed of the fight outweighs the cost of the additional menuing, saving about 3 seconds total.

- Deleted Corkpedite Ice Bomb conditional (for now)
	- Using an Ice Bomb versus the Corkpedite is still ~6 seconds faster than Geno Blast (including the extra menuing); however, for the sake of not having equipment conditionals, any excess Ice Bombs will be kept for Czar / Mad Mallets / Gunyolk instead (as these conditionals do not require menu alterations, and having enough Ice Bombs for the above battles + Corkpedite is extremely unlikely)

- Added 2 Ice Bomb Czar conditional strat back into the route
	- This saves much more time than previously estimated (far more than an extra Ice Bomb on Gunyolk), as well as avoiding the human factor of timing SJs on Czar

- Reworked Czar Dragon / Zombone fight to skip Red Essence (credits to 0xwas)
	- Getting the Red Essence & watching the animation of the Red Essence does not save enough time to justify using it. Mario kills Zombone with either 3 punches + assists or 4 punches solo. Mario now has a risk of dying during the Zombone fight (Super Mushroom is available, so it can be used if his HP gets too low)

- Changed the pre-Czar Dragon menu and pre-Axem Rangers menu as a result of the above 2 changes
	- Troopa Pin stays on Bowser from Nimbus shop all the way until defeating Magikoopa, resulting in less menuing overall. Feather is equipped onto Geno before Czar Dragon, so he can be faster than Bowser and revive him on Turn 2 if need be

- Changed the Magikoopa fight slightly (credits to iateyourpie for misreading the notes and doing this on accident)
	- Bowser uses the Fright Bomb without changing equips. This gives you slightly more damage than Geno using the Fright Bomb, in addition to being the fastest way of doing this fight (going by attack animations / item use animations). The menu to put Super Suit on Mario and Troopa Pin on Geno is now always done after Magikoopa (as you can mistime 1 attack now and still kill him)

- Made a note that Mallow should use the Mushroom on Turn 4 of the Bowyer fight if possible, due to his faster item use animation

- Made a note that Bowser should use the Able Juice during KG + GG if Mario is slept / muted, due to his faster item use animation

- Fixed Geno's damage range for Belome 2 (he had 1 more ATK point in an old test savestate)

- Made a note to buy 1 Pick-Me-Up from the Nimbus shop if none dropped during the Armored Ant fights (this is needed in case of really bad Czar luck)

- Made a note that Geno's attack against Axem Red should be untimed if you are doing the Rock Candy freebie strats

- Made a note that Geno's attack against Domino should be untimed if the fight went perfectly

- Added in info on doing Nimbus manip for Bowser doors (credits to KirkQ)

- Made a note that you should probably try for exactly 60 coins during the Midas River section (I deleted this from my personal notes because it was too much work for me, but people who only read my notes may not be aware of this)

- Added in alternate strats if you get the Flower Box from Croco 2 (credits to 0xwas)

This route is still relatively new, so things are always subject to change. However, the core principles are:

	1. Experience Booster is acquired as soon as possible (upon first visit to Seaside Town)

	2. Experience Booster is placed almost exclusively on either Mario or Peach for a majority of the run, allowing you to skip the death abuse while maintaining a similar level structure as in the traditional route

	3. Peach is used instead of Mallow upon defeating Exor. Her naturally higher level, coupled with the swap glitch to obtain Shocker & Geno Blast, means there is no reason to use Mallow at all (aside from Thunderbolt being 4 seconds faster than Geno Blast per use)

	4. Peach uses Shocker instead of Group Hug during Yaridovich, making the fight much faster, 300 coins cheaper, and allows you to buy more Fire & Ice Bombs (which save much more time if freebied compared to Fright Bombs).

*Note - this route plans for consistency over speed. To complete the game with minimal time loss using this route, you only need 1 Fire Bomb freebie OR 1 Ice Bomb freebie. If you would like to plan around getting better luck, there are a list of options you can explore at the end of this document.

Credits to Alanim for inventing many of the strats involved with EXP Booster early, 0xwas for KG / GG equip ideas + Bowser strats from Czar until Exor, iateyourpie for early game Belome / Bowyer strats, and cyghfer for distributing his Excel spreadsheets that I modified to construct the EXP / Coin charts for this route. Shoutouts to everyone in #mariorpg as well for helping me refine this route after its initial draft (especially my boy millnium).

- If you opt to learn Poison Gas (swap Peach & Koopa during the 1st Land's End star), Geno Blast will cost 2 FP during Countdown, and Shocker will cost 4 FP.

Smithy Head Info (Taken from SDA forums):

- There's a 50% chance the body will use its turn to transform the head.  It won't transform two turns in a row.
- Exception 1: the body will always transform the chest head after it has performed one status ailment attack
- Exception 2: it will always transform on its first turn
- being stunned (0 HP) will not prevent it from transforming -- it only prevents it from hammering/shooting you

Whenever Smithy's HP drops below a threshold, he changes to a new head cycle (starting with the first in the cycle).
- starting: tank -> magic -> shield -> repeat
- HP under 6000: magic -> shield -> shield -> chest -> repeat
- HP under 4000: chest -> tank -> chest -> shield -> repeat
- HP under 2000: randomly any of the 4 heads (can repeat)

TRADE CONSISTENCY FOR SPEED

- (J version only) Jump on the Wiggler one less time in the Forest Maze. Then return the Wallet to the Toad in Mushroom Kingdom before you enter the long cutscene sequence, and then talk to him again for a Frog Coin. This saves 2 - 3 seconds with J text compared to jumping on a Wiggler. -23 coins from selling a Flower Tab instead of the Wallet, and -9 coins from not jumping on another Wiggler (Buy 1 less Bad Mushroom).

- Jump on the Wiggler one extra time and skip Booster Pass Secret (1 more Fire Bomb freebie required, saves ~13 seconds. +9 coins from Wiggler, -200 from no KeroKeroCola)

- Skip Sleepy Bomb by jumping on the Wiggler one less time (Saves ~10 seconds, 1 more Fire Bomb freebie required since one will be used on Johnny (Or you can just watch the Bandana Blue attacks). -9 coins from one less Wiggler).
	*NOTE - If you Fire Bomb Johnny, fail to get 101 SJs, and Johnny invites Mario to the 1 on 1 duel, you will gain less EXP from the fight. This means Peach will not be Level 11 for Yaridovich, and your entire EXP route will be messed up. Only do this if you are confident in your jumps.

- Skip Wake-Up Pins (Saves ~5-6 seconds from not talking to Rose Town shopkeeper + buying them + equipping them. Due to the way the coin chart works out in this current route, this currently can't be used to buy an extra meaningful (Fire / Ice) bomb. +42 coins)

- Skip Pandorite (more difficult stars, likely requires at least 2 more Ice or Fire Bomb freebies, requires different Jump damage route. Potential savings are 30+ seconds? Requires more research now that early game strategies have changed)

- 0xwas Flower Box Strat (Saves ~21 - 23 seconds):
	- If you get the Flower Box from Croco 2...
		- Skip the 150 Coin Chest in Moleville Mines (~5 seconds saved)
		- Skip hitting the switch in Booster Tower (~1.3 seconds saved)
		- Skip Booster Pass (~22 seconds saved)
		- Return the Wallet (~7 seconds lost)
		- Do not buy 2 more Ice Bombs at Seaside (you will have ~130 extra coins)
	- It's up to you if would like to do this strat, or simply take the extra 2 Ice Bombs.

- Alternate Flower Box Strat (Slightly slower, but more consistent)
	- Do everything listed above, except DO get the 150 Coin Chest. Then buy 1 extra Ice Bomb instead of 0. You only need ~130 of the 150 coins.

- Rock Candy Gamble on KG + GG?!?!?! I heard this is like 15 seconds saved, but you gotta stream pretty big for this one.

------------------------------

List of things to do for 1.06:

- Optimize Gunyolk a bit more
- Create flowcharts for Croco 2, Punchinello, & Bundt, so less decision making is needed in the event of bad luck
- Route out a Smithy 2 fight where you intentionally try to fight Mage Head as much as possible (less consistent, but should be faster now that Peach is used)
- Figure out if Rock Candy Gamble is worth it on Yaridovich (gives you 500 more coins to work with, but requires that you use a slower strat versus the Axem Rangers if you have no Rock Candy) (This would probably be more suited to Skip Pandorite)

Pastebin over! Play FFT instead!
