How to Beat Punchinello Guide for Super Mario RPG Remake
- Focus your attacks on the boss.
- Equip Fearless Pin on your party members.
- Don’t use Mario’s Jump Attack.
- Block the bombs.
Focus your attacks on the boss.
Punchinello can summon 4 small bombs at the start of the battle and a big bomb when his HP drops to a certain level. Since he will keep on summoning bombs, it is better to shift your focus to the boss rather than his summoned bombs.
Equip Fearless Pin on your party members.
Before heading into the boss fight, make sure to equip the Fearless Pin on your party members. Wearing the Fearless Pin will protect its wearer from Fear status ailment, and since the boss has the ability to inflict Fear status on your party, it is recommended to equip the item with one of your party members.
Don’t use Mario’s Jump Attack.
Punchinello has high resistance against Mario’s Jump attack. Therefore, it is recommended that you make use of other skills rather than the Jump attack to avoid wasting your FP.
Block the bombs.
You can destroy the bombs that appear at the start of the boss fight by using Mallow’s Thunderbolt. However, the boss’ larger bombs have significant magic defense, rendering Thunderbolt useless against them. Instead of trying to destroy the bombs, just block the upcoming damage.
Punchinello Skills and Moveset
Summon Bob-ombs
The Bob-ombs are small bombs that can you easily wipe out using Mallow’s Thunderbolt attack.
Summon Mezzo Bombs
Mezzo Bombs are the larger bombs that will self-destruct and explode, doing damage to one of your party members. Continue to hit the boss and try to block the Mezzo Bombs when they explode.
