There are also secret bosses fought at the end of the ‘medley’ challenges (aka the ‘defeat all bosses in order without dying’ ones). So while they’re still doable right after fighting them the first time, the game recommends the bros being about ten levels higher than they were for the first encounter with said opponent. This means you won’t be immediately able to do things like recover health, boost your attack power or stun enemies, hence can’t ‘grind’ for badge effects before taking on the Boss Medley.Īnother difference here is that bosses have much higher health than before, as well as higher stats in general. Secondly, your badge meter is set to zero for normal battles. This is true of both normal and giant bosses. Run out of turns, and you automatically lose.
But there are some other things you need to consider.įor starters, each battle now has a turn limit. Obviously, your stats make absolutely no difference here, and the fights work just like they did in the first time round (with touch screen and gyroscope controls). These are tougher versions of the Giant Luigi bosses you fought earlier, albeit with slight differences that I’ll explain later. The other option here lets you replay Giant Battles. These have you use the usual Bros Attacks and abilities, as well as the stats you have in the main adventure mode. Normal Battles have you go against ‘regular’ bosses you’ve faced before, the ones fought in traditional RPG battles. When you first enter, you’ll notice that there are two options. Choose to enter the Battle Ring by stepping up to the boxing ring style structure in the middle of the ring. Here’s some information about it.įrom the entrance of Pi’illo Castle, go north through the door behind Broque Monsieur, then through the first door to the right. It’s a boss rush like the Gauntlet in the last game, and lets you fight the various normal and giant bosses again with a limited number of turns and items. In Mario & Luigi Dream Team, there is an optional area in the game called the Battle Ring that can be entered via a Dream Point in Pi’illo Castle. Mario & Luigi Dream Team All about the Battle Ring
