How to Beat Ten

Ten Strategy


Pay Attention to the Red and Green Mirrors

When Ten conjures mirrors and starts launching spheres, focus on the green and red mirrors as the spheres will hit either Mario or Luigi only after they bounce off these colored mirrors.

Spheres reflected by the red mirror will head towards Mario and spheres reflected by the green mirror will head towards Luigi. Take note of the order the spheres bounced off so you can easily time your counters.

Attack Ten After Breaking His Sphere

Ten will charge at you when he creates and mounts a sphere, which you can counter every time with your hammer. The sphere will break after hitting it three times in a row, dismounting Ten and allowing you to finally counterattack with your hammer.

Focus Your Attacks on Ten

attack targeting Ten

Don't bother using a turn to pick off one of the Snaptors as Ten can always resummon them. Instead, focus all your attacks and Bros. Attacks on Ten and blitz the fight as fast as you can.
