Danger Mario Details

Battle with 5 HP and Pinch Badges

A Danger Mario Build is where Mario fights constantly while activating the effects of the pinch badges that are only activated when his HP is 5 or below.

Pinch Badges Improve Offense and Defense on Low Health

The pinch badges are excellent in offense and defense, and if you equip multiple Power Rush badges which increases your attack power by 2, and perform an all-out attack, you can annihilate the enemy in one turn.

There are also badges such as Last Stand and Lucky Day that enhance durability, so even if your HP is 5, you won't be easily defeated.

Do Badges Stack?

Danger Mario Still Viable in Remake

You can play Danger Mario build in the remake as well. However, due to the price increase of the important badge Power Rush, it may take more time to prepare the environment.

Makes the Game Easier

Playing Danger Mario build will significantly reduce the difficulty of the game, and you may not be able to enjoy the game in its original way, such as cooperating with allies during battle or responding to enemies.

We recommend using it when you can't beat the boss or want to clear the story quickly.

How to Make Danger Mario Build

Adjust Stats from Chet Rippo

Mario's initial HP is 10, but you can allocate 5 HP to other stats with the help of Chet Rippo in Rogueport Sewers. However, 39 coins are required to adjust the status.

Chet Rippo is Accessible After Chapter 5

Chet Rippo is located beyond the cracked wall just after entering the the sewers through the warp pipe in Rogueport. You need to use Bobbery's field ability to break the cracked wall, in order to go to Chet Rippo's place.

You must complete Chapter 5, where Admiral Bbobbery becomes your ally.

How to Use Danger Mario Build

Defeat Enemies With an All-Out Attack

In battles where multiple enemies appear, use Multibounce to defeat them all at once. By not giving up your turn to your opponent and defeating them with your first move, you can defeat them safely without losing HP.

In addition, Power Jump is effective against enemies on the ceiling.

Beat Bosses With Power Bounce

Use Power Bounce during boss battles. If Power Bounce's action command is successful, you can aim to defeat the boss in the first turn.
