Defeating enemies is the only way for Mario and his party to level up. Given this, it's highly recommended to fight all enemies encountered throughout the playthrough and refrain from running away from battles. Doing so ensures Mario and his party won't be outmatched as the game progresses.

How to Level Up Fast

Use Items for Damage or Recovery

Using items during battles can help Mario and his party to quickly deal with enemies or recover their HP. Items like Fire Flowers and Ice Storms can damage multiple enemies at once, making clearing battles easier and faster. On the other hand, items like Life Shroom will ressurect Mario or his partner in the event that either of them falls during battles and heal them for 10 HP.

Prioritize Badges for the Level Up Bonus

It's best to choose Badge Points to increase the number of Badges that can be equipped. Also, since there are Badges that increase HP and FP already, it would make more sense to just increase the number of equippable Badges.

Star Power allows Mario and his party to use Special moves. These moves can deal great damage to opponents or heal and buff Mario and his party member. Mario can charge his Star Power by exciting the audience.

Watch the Audience

The audience plays an important role during battles. They can help or hurt Mario and his party. If they get excited, Mario gains Star Power, allowing him and his party to use Special moves during battles. On the other hand, the audience can also cause some trouble for Mario and his party by throwing things on the stage while the battle is going on, dealing damage to them.

Keep an eye on the audience and react accordingly. Always try to excite the audience but also watch out for any troublemakers.

Guarding enemy attacks is just as important as dealing damage to them. Successfully guarding attacks mitigates the damage inflicted by enemies. However, players do need proper timing to pull off a successful guard.
