Tips to Beat Johnny (Boss Rematch)
  • Prepare Mario’s gear for a one-on-one battle.
  • Organize Geno and Peach to cheer for you.
  • Reduce incoming damage using Action Commands.

Prepare Mario’s gear for a one-on-one battle.

The fight against Rematch Johnny will only be between him and Mario. Because of this, make sure Mario is equipped with end-game gear such as the Lazy Shell (weapon), Super Suit (armor), and Attack Scarf (accessory) so he can outlast Johnny in the duel.

If you find yourself having trouble keeping up with Rematch Johnny, try gaining a few levels before attempting to fight him again.

Have Geno and Peach in the active party to cheer for you.

Allies in your active party cannot participate in the fight but will instead support you by activating useful buffs (cheering). The best characters for this are Geno and Peach. The former will grant Mario increased Attack and Speed while Peach enhances your defense against magic attacks during the fight.

Reduce incoming damage using Action Commands.

Timing defense Action Commands allows you to minimize the damage dealt by Johnny’s attacks. Doing so lets you focus more on depleting Johnny’s HP instead of using items to recover your own.

What are Boss Rematch Battles?
