Use The Mover When Necessary

Movers are Puni NPCs in between the floors of the Pit of 100 Trials that can help you skip two or five levels or they can also help you return to the entrance of the dungeon. These NPCs can spawn at any floor at random.

Always be cautious when using a Mover to skip some floors because you can also skip rest floors, where you can buy from Charlieton and with treasure on them, such as 10F, 20F ,30F, and so on.

Land Stylish Moves To Replenish Star Power

You must land Stylish Moves to replenish your Star Power, which are used when using special moves. Stylish Moves are done to hype up the crowd, when fighting, even more to gain additional Star Power.

Stylish Moves can be done by Mario or his party members. Mario and his party members have different stylish moves as well.

All Stylish Move Inputs

Flurrie's Gale Force is Very Effective

Battle Bonetail While in Perfect Condition

Bonetail is very strong, so make sure to replenish your HP, FP, and Star Power gauge before beating the dragon. Note that the boss battle will immediately start after you go down the warp pipe on 99F.
