Best Weapon for Mario: Lazy Shell

The Lazy Shell is the best weapon for Mario, granting him a massive 90 Attack Power. The actual damage numbers achieved with the Lazy Shell, however, tend to fluctuate greatly, as it has a massive random variance of up to 40 points above and below. Despite this, the weapon still far surpasses those available to Mario towards the game’s late stages.

The Lazy Shell is also obtained quicker than most of the strongest armaments for the other characters, allowing Mario to become an offensive powerhouse earlier than his allies.

How to Get the Lazy Shell

The earliest you can get the Lazy Shell is after defeating Valentina. Give the Seed and Fertilizer to the Gardener at Rose Town. After planting the Seed, it will grow into a beanstalk that you can climb to reach the area where the Lazy Shell is.

Best Armor for Mario: Super Suit

The best armor for Mario is the Super Suit which gives the hero a +50 boost in all stats as well as +30 in speed. These bonuses all work towards making Mario an offensive powerhouse who can put out insane damage with normal attacks and special moves towards the end-game, especially with the Lazy Shell and Attack Scarf equipped.

How to Get the Super Suit

The Super Suit is obtained by talking to Chow in Monstro Town after doing 100 consecutive Super Jumps in battle.

Best Accessory for Mario: Attack Scarf

The Attack Scarf is the best accessory for Mario which grant an increase of 30 in all stats. The item also negates mortal blows (instant death), making it invaluable against regular enemies and bosses who rely on such abilities throughout the game.

At 48 defense and 24 magic defense, the Prince Pants is the best armor for Mallow in the game. The Prince Pants’ stats are identical to Mario’s Hero Shirt and Peach’s Royal Dress, though Mallow will be able to get more out of equipping his piece of gear due to his naturally low defense and HP.

Best Accessory for Mallow: Troopa Pin

The Troopa Pin is the best accessory for Mallow which allows the prince to deal 50% more damage with physical and magic attacks in addition to giving him +20 Speed.  This accessory greatly compensates for the prince’s naturally low damage when using normal attacks and is useful for conserving FP.

The best weapon for Bowser in the remake version of the game is the Wonder Chomp which boasts 57 Attack Power, far surpassing the Drill Claw for King Koopa to finally output decent end-game damage numbers using normal attacks.

The Wonder Chomp is obtained by defeating Leveled-Up Punchinello (post-game rematch) in Mole Mines.

Best Weapon for Bowser (Original NES Version): Drill Claw

The best weapon for Bowser in the original version of the game is the Drill Claw which has 40 Attack Power (with a random variance of up to 7 points above and below).

The Drill Claw is obtained from a treasure chest at one of the Battle Course challenges in Bowser’s Castle.

Best Armor for Bowser: Heal Shell

The Heal Shell is the best armor for Bowser which grants him 24 physical defense and 12 magic defense. Despite providing the least amount of damage reduction out of all end-game armor for each part member, Bowser’s naturally high stats somewhat make up for it.

How to Get the Heal Shell

Like all end-game armor, the Heal Shell can be purchased from Croco’s 2nd shop in Bowser’s Keep for 100 Coins.

Best Accessory for Bowser: Jinx Belt

The best accessory for Bowser is the Jinx Belt which gives the King Koopa  +12 Speed and +27 in both Attack and Defense. The item also nullifies mortal blows, similar to the Attack Scarf and Quartz Charm.

Best Weapon for Peach: Frying Pan

The best weapon for Peach is the Frying Pan which grants the princess a massive 90 Attack power on par with Mario’s Lazy Shell.
