Super Paper Mario: RTA Route

Super Paper Mario - RTA Route
------------------------------

This guide should not contain anything pretty straight-forward to the gamer. This only contains area-specific goals that should help complete levels faster.

--Things to test/try in future runs--
* In 8-3, use Carrie when trying to open the chest with the Dimentio clones room instead of Cudge. You may be able to open it without having to clear the space.
* In 6-1 Revisit, jump w/ Bowser + Carrie onto Brobot 2 and compare w/ Mario + Boomer strategy.

---Intro---
* Button mash. After dialogue, drop off top floor on left side. Place pure heart. Go back to main floor. Do not use save block. Go directly in elevator. Go straight to 1-1.

---Chapter 1---
1-1:
* Go right until you reach the house. Grab one coin along the way to make it faster. Use Tippi to reveal door when you get in. Get "A" Flip ability. In same room where you get Flip, Flip to 3d and get Shell Shock + Shroom Shake (for safety). Back in first room of house, use Flip to get Fire Burst.
* Go back outside. Flip and collect coins on way to door surrounded by bricks. Enter door while in 3d.
* Next area, go along. When you flip, go up and stay on the left side of the 3d screen. Flip back into 2D when you reach the gap. When you reach the long gap, flip again and go across the bridge. Get to the end.
* Use either star for extra points and coins or grinding off the mass of Squiglets.

***NOTE: Get 16 coins before entering town in 1-2. You'll need them to buy 2 shell shocks.***

1-2:
* Flip immediately at the beginning. There is a path on the left side behind the hills. Go through it and past until you reach a door. Enter the door. Hit the block and use the ladder to go up.
* When in Spiny Tromp area, flip to avoid them and run the whole way. Open last door while in 3d.
* Button mash during time with Red guard. Pick first option. Go to shop and buy 2 shell shocks for 16 coins.
* When in town, enter 3rd house, go immediately into 3d and jump to the pipe. 3d past Thwomps. Get Thoreau. Use block to hit blue switch and unlock door.
* Go back out of house and talk to Watchitt in 4th house (button mash). Get to Green guard. Button mash (he'll throw you out of the house regardless of your answer).

1-3:
* Use Fast Flower to reach red palm faster. Grab three other items (coin flower, pal pills, and mushroom) for 10000 points total. Jump under red palm 10 times to unlock door. Enter door. Grab spitter with Thoreau, flip, and go right until you reach spring. Throw spitter onto spring. Use rock he spits out to bounce over big block on other side of sand. Go right to door.
* Use Thoreau to throw O'Chunks into corner. Use shell shock. Multibounce on O'Chunks in corner as much as possible if shell shock runs out (you can keep it from running out by bouncing on it as it comes back towards you). Do not get tossed by him...takes a ton of time. O'Chunks has 20 HP.
* In next area, go left and flip into 3d and grab the Ghost Shroom. Go right. You can either use Ice Cherbil skip, Goomba 3d skip, or jump on spring onto platforms. Use platforms to get to door.
* In last area, stand on blue switch and hold "-" and "1" at the same time.

1-4:
* Go right. In second area, go right (grab box with mushroom if needed) and enter door.
* When you get to a locked door on the bottom and an unlocked door at the top, use Flip and hit flipswitches. Get in top door. Use Thoreau on enemies to hit blue switch. Go back out and to the left. There should be a key that you can get with Thoreau. Unlock bottom door.
* Use Tippi pointer to reveal platform that allows you to reach door in next room.
* Flip in next room after springing up to the left and climb ladder. Hit switches, enter door.
* Order of red blocks in next room is "2 4 1 3". Grab Super Shroom in box before pipe.
* On Fracktail, when you hit him three times with thrown Frackles, stay to the left (should be slightly going up a slant). When you reach about the end of his tail, jump and hold right. You can jump through his head, but following this strategy should avoid that problem. Three cycles will take him down.
* In last room (blue room), go right until dialogue ensues. END OF CHAPTER!

---Pre-Chapter 2---

* In Bleck's castle as Peach, go right to door. Then go left and enter each door. Keep going left. It'll end eventually.

* Talk to Merlon in his house. Go to shop and sell Ghost Shroom. Buy an Ice Burst.
* Exit shop, go down a floor. Give Fire Burst to chef to make soup. Use Return Pipe.
* Go off right side after using Return Pipe. Go to Peach. Give her soup. Get Peach!

* Flip back into 2d after crossing bridge. Go right. Go down pipe.
* (B1 Flipside Outskirts) Go left in next area. Flip into 3d and cross bridge to right. Stay in 3d after crossing bridge and go down.

* After lake in next area, go in pipe. Hit hidden blue switch in middle of room (jump). Beat enemies in following room (Thoreau). Get Boomer. Leave pipe.
* To get to doors above, jump on dragon guy's head right as it comes out to shortcut up.
** (Easier method) Of the four doors above outside, go in the far left one. Hit switch in middle of room. Go back outside and go into the new door on the far left of the now five doors.
** (Harder but faster) Go to far right door instead. Use Boomer inside, then use Thoreau on Boomer to throw Boomer up to the blue switch. Go outside and to far left door.

2-2:
* Go inside mansion.
* Avoid Gnaws. Go in top right door in Mansion. Activate switch to bring down spike trap. Flip to avoid getting crushed. Jump on top of spike trap.

3-1:
* Skip talking to the pixl in the bush. Flip into 3d and go up. Get up to the third (?) pipe that you see. Hit the block above the pipe to create a ladder. From the platform at the top of the ladder, use Peach and jump right (float) to reach another pipe (this pipe is above 2 red pipes). Enter the pipe.

* On Big Blooper, Flip and jump near tentacles back and forth to bring up red tentacle faster. Once red tentacle is up, change to Bowser and fire breath. Three hits to red tentacles will finish Big Blooper.

3-3:
* (Just watch a video on this. Explaining this is a nightmare.)
* Don't fall. Don't get poisoned either. And...don't get put to sleep.
* Switch immediately to Peach. Get to the point where you can float to the first moving platform. When you reach the moving platform, jump immediately to the next green platform (if within range).

* Go up as top right as you can. You'll see a moving platform with a non-linear path. Grab one of the wall crawlers with Thoreau and make it go to the right (if it's moving left, take a hit to reverse the direction). While it is on the right wall, and while the platform is within bouncing reach, bounce on the wallcrawler and jump to the moving switch. You can also use Thudley jump to reach platform.
* Go up and left. Use Boomer on switch to make pink. Use Boomer again to make blue after you've crossed back to the right side using new pink platform. While on left up-down moving platform left of new blue platform, drop Boomer on the far left side as far as you can without falling off. That'll trigger the switch again.
* Go on right platform. Use Mario to flip and jump onto pink platform to get to blue switch above. Hit blue switch, drop back down, enter first pipe, and enter new door.
* Dimentio fight: Use Bowser to jump on Dimentio. Dodge attacks. Has 30 HP. If you decide to need to take damage, run into him directly. His bolts do 2 damage, while he only does 1 damage. Thudley to do double damage. Slim to confuse Dimentio and bring him closer to your level if too far away.

* Switch to Peach in lobby with giant door. Use keys on door. Answer true to all questions.
* When in Swoon.exe, answer first choice, first choice, third choice, and first choice for least dialogue boxes. Keep mashing buttons until Francis fight. Switch to Bowser + Carrie (very useful strat recommended for all bosses remainder of game) and use jumps to max damage on Francis. When Francis appears in a corner (you can manipulate somewhat), and AFTER he appears, use ice storm. Freezing him for 10 seconds will be enough time to multibounce in corner and kill him (hopefully). Francis has 40 HP. END OF CHAPTER!

---Pre-Chapter 4---
* Go straight to outskirts. After going across bridge, go left, and you'll see 5 pegs. Hit the first one from the left down and the second one from the left up so that it's "Down Up Down Up Down." That will make the heart pillar appear. Place pure heart.

* Regardless of which hole you entered, go all the way to the right in the next area into the next hole.
* Next area, go left past all the teleporting enemies.
* Next area, go all the way to the right to the very end of the chapter.

* Go ALL THE WAY BACK to the outdoor restroom. Bring Fleep the ancient clue. Get Fleep.
* In same area as where you got Fleep, go right until you see two statues and a lightning-bolt shape above. Use Fleep on shape to get key. After getting key, go left a little bit and drop down the pit that has a locked door. Use key on door.

* Use Thudley jump glitch to reach pipe in upper right in next room.
* Fight O'Chunks again. Use the same strategy (Thoreau into corner, jump on with Bowser, multibounce...or you can try to spam fire, but he might jump over). He has more HP and is much faster this time.

Use Thoreau to hit the switch until it becomes the proper color. That will make a huge door appear in the middle of the room. Enter it.
* For King Croacus, use Bowser + Carrie to jump and firebreath while in midair. Use one of your Mighty Tonics in this fight. Hit the King when he opens up. You can also fire breath anything tossed at you by him. Do it until he is dead. END CHAPTER!

---Chapter 6---
6-1:
* 20 straight Sammer-Guys you have to fight in a row. Plus Mimi. This chapter is tough.
* Bowser + Carrie strategy works well, either for fire breath or jumping on enemies. Be mindful of HP. If you level up during these fights, so much the better.
* For faster moving Sammer Guys, you can wait until they get real close to you before trying fire breath. If close enough, they should get hit before they back up too far. Another strategy is to get them to move up stairs. It takes them longer to back up and become easier targets to hit.
* Sammer Guys 3, 8, 11, 15, and 19 can jump. Stairs strategy is helpful (see above).
* Sammer Guys 8 and 20 has at least one ninja that pops out. Take care of them quick so they don't whittle down
your HP.
* Sammer Guys 10 and 20 is huge. Move back and dodge beforehand. Fire breath after.
* Sammer Guy 13 uses sword beams. Avoid accordingly. May be better to jump on this one.
* Sammer Guy 18 is small. Let him hit you (2 HP damage). Fire breath immediately after. Otherwise....good luck.
* Move past the remaining Sammer Guys.

6-2:
* Mimi fight. If you have a recovery item, so much the better. Bowser + Carrie is still probably the best strategy. Jump in midair and use fire breath. Hold fire breath if she's still in range as she falls.
* Keep going. Will eventually end.

* Go back in chapter door.

6-1?:
* Use Carrie. Go right...forever. You hold right for at least 1:15 (one minute, fifteen seconds) before dialogue pops up.
* Fight Brobot 2. Fire breath doesn't work. Start fight with Mighty Tonic. Use Boomer until he's dead. Stay flipped in 3d to make it easier (even taking damage is okay from gauge dropping).
* Get Pure Heart.

---Pre-Chapter 7---
* Go back to Merlon. Get killed.
