How to Use FP

Used for Unique Moves

FP is consumed when Mario and the party use moves that are unique to them. These moves that use up FP are more powerful than regular moves because they are able to attack more targets.

These are effective moves for completing your playthrough!

More Powerful Moves Use More FP

More powerful moves will usually consume more FP. If you want to use certain moves continuously, consider equipping badges or using items that recover FP.

FP is Shared by Mario and Partner

Mario and his partner share FP, so the same FP is used when using unique moves. This makes it so players must be aware of the whole party's FP consumption to avoid running out during battle.
