Notes

• After the tutorial part of the first battle against Bowser, Bowser's HP will be set to 20.
• The Sea Pipe Statue will always take zero damage; only the Stone Blooper can be damaged.
• When Mario & Luigi knocks the Stone Blooper out of Bowser's body, it gets stuck in the Sea Pipe Statue and is then vulnerable to damage for a few turns.
• Though Sneed and Metal Mawful Mole are instantly defeated by Bowser in overworld, Bowser can meet them by battling against other enemies.
• If a Protobatter or Pwallop takes damage, its size increases. If damaged a second time, it will grow at about the size of a giant.
• If there are two or more Fawflants, they can attack at once by drilling right at the Bros. slowly.
• If Bowser Memory L is attacked twice, he retreats off-screen for a short time.
• Napses and Airnapses can respawn themselves (with no experience given) if any are defeated.
• In some turns, after a Pep attacks, it changes its form, no matter how many attacks were given.
• After being defeated, a Jailgoon will free a Goomba or a Bob-omb. If Bowser is battling them, they give him mushrooms that restore 30 HP.
• If a bro tries to jump on a Sockop, he will fall in the Sockop and the Sockop will drain the bro's HP; they must press their corresponding button to free themselves and the Sockop heals back 30 HP.
• The Dark Star and its X counterpart take no damage unless their Dark Satellmites are defeated and knocked into it.
• Defeating the summoned Mechawful and Dark Mechawful.5 body will not grant extra experience and coins.
• During the battle with Bowser X, if the player uses a Special Attack against him, he'll vacuum it away, making it inaccessible for five turns.
