Best Battle Plug Combos

Ecks-tra Help: Attack and Defense Boost

Sharpcask's Ecks-tra Help move summons Ecks to boost its Attack and Defense.

Consider switching to defensive plugs to reduce incoming damage during this phase.

Activate Luigi Logic

When Sharpcask uses its Regenerating Shell move, activate Luigi Logic to initiate a minigame where you must stack crates while dodging bombs.

Once enough crates are stacked, Sharpcask will be temporarily knocked out, allowing you to unleash heavy damage before it recovers.

Beware of Enraged Attacks

Lower Sharpcask's HP to around 20%, and it will enter an enraged state, introducing a new attack called Barrel Vault.

Barrel Vault follows after Sharpcask successfully inflicts Dizzy on Mario or Luigi. This attack is unavoidable, so consider healing afterwards.
