Go Inside Crate Guy's Casino and Win Look the Other Way 100 Times

You can access the casino by obtaining the Bright Card from Knife Guy's Minigame. Afterwards, access the secret passage(one of the pipes) in Bean Valley by defeating a Piranha Plant.

Then inside, you will encounter a Chomp Chomp at the end. Defeat it and then at the corner located to the left of the Chomp Chomp, jump three times to reveal an invisible platform to get to the casino.

You can play a variety of minigames inside the casino but the one that you should look out for is Win Look the Other Way. To play the game, Mario simply has to look in the opposite direction of where Grate Guy will raise his finger.

Winning the Look the Other Way minigame will net random rewards. The most valuable item that can be obtained from playing Look the Other Way 100 times is the Star Egg.

The player will need to have returned to the Mushroom Kingdom from Marrymore after saving Peach from Booster to have access to this minigame.

After that, speak to the Beetle Mania Toad in the Inn located in Mushroom Kingdom and the minigame will be offered for purchase for 500 coins.

Promote the Apprentice Snifsters

In Booster Pass, you'll find the Apprentices, Snifsters that wish to serve Booster.

To access their location, you'll have to go into Booster Tower and press the green switch there (you can't miss it when going up the tower). Back in Booster Pass, you'll then find the entrance to the training area where the Apprentices are.

How to Promote Apprentices

Make Your Party Lose to the Apprentices

The requirement to getting the Apprentices promoted is to lose to them, which is a tall order since they fight alone and have very weak stats. Have your party's HP get lowered elsewhere, then battle the Apprentice and make your whole party lose to it. The Apprentice will happily claim that it's now Snifster No. 4. You'll find it now in Booster Tower, just a couple of rooms before where you find Booster.

You can help five Apprentices achieve this (the succeeding ones will have higher numbers, e.g., Snifster No. 5). Leave the training area then return to find the next Apprentice. After helping the fifth and final apprentice (Snifster No. 8), you won't see anyone in the training area anymore, they're all in Booster Tower.

Aside from some chests in the training area, there are no rewards to this quest except for making these guys happy.
