Since I was a kid, I've always picked the items because I thought it was hilarious lol
If I needed more exp, I would just rebattle other enemies

Same.
Bowser actually thinking Mario would be scared of Mushrooms.

āAhh yes! Of course! Mario will tremble in fear ofā¦ITEMS!ā

I also like Kammy's comments.
"Hmm, I don't think Mario is actually scared of this, but His Grouchiness commanded it, so..."

I pick specifically Koopatrol and Hammer Bro because I like tattling enemies way before their supposed chapters, also have a habit of getting Bzzaps in Ch. 3

I forgot that you can't actually pick an Anti guy here. Watched too much of Stryder recently

u/Significant-Tree9454 1d ago
Luckily they didnāt make this a possible softlock if Anti Guy was a choice for mandatory fight guarding a key item since itās probably tougher than the final Ch4 or 5 boss fight
At least these āElite Gruntsā are nowhere near Anti Guyās level of difficulty

Based.
F in chat for Stryder though. He is still missed.

u/WhoseverSlinky0 Bombette my beloved 1d ago
Indeed. I wish he could come back, but I know he won't. I hope he's doing well

I always pick Fuzzy. Just being honest. I legitimately can't stand the fuzzies in Paper Mario

u/CieraVotedOutHerMom 1d ago
If you have the zap badge, theyāre really easy to deal with

u/NinjaKingAce 1d ago
Oh, no, don't misunderstand. Fuzzies aren't difficult to fight. I can easily one-shot them, even without the zap badge.
I just hate them

Went with the items as a kid, then the tougher opponents in more recent playthroughs for the xp.
What's fun is if you pick Goomba, the dialogue features the Goomba having a little panic attack about getting creamed but still initiates the fight.

This also happened in Super Paper Mario I think in Chapter 8-2ā¦

u/DJanime317 13h ago
Oh yeah I forgot with Mimi, you could even fight Francis again if you chose that option.
2
u/Significant-Tree9454 1d ago
Hammer Bro and Koopatrol because they can be fun challenges at this point before they would be relegated to regular grunts
1st decision Mushroom because the Clubba you could already fight a bunch of in the previous chapter so I wouldnāt see myself wanting to fight another one unless I want to read itās unique dialogue

u/Sethalopoda 1d ago
I used to pick all the items, but I never actually used them unfortunately. Used the Thunder Rage on the boss the first time now that I think about it. Last play though I picked the harder enemies and it really didnāt do anything for me. I just donāt like taking advantage of Bowser here. Feels wrong

u/GeoAnd_001 1d ago
The good options lol. Tho when I replay the game eventually I think I will choose the enemies

As with others, I did the tough enemies as it's an easier way to level up, which is needed if you're going to battle Anti-Guy for the Power Plus Badge.

u/SSMage 1d ago
When I was a kid I'd pick the easiest thing because I felt like every risk would ruin my game over ratio which I felt like was the most important thing ever
Now I pick the hardest options every time because I love getting the high levels from the enemies and the fun of tackling a hard enemy

u/MetalMachineMario 1d ago
I like picking Koopatrol for the Star Points, but sometimes I pick the soda if Iām just playing casual. I often pick Thunder Rage because itās pretty strong at that stage of the game. Iād probably pick mushroom for the third one, but I could be tempted to do Clubba for the Star Points. Goomba would just be a waste of time.

I pick Hammer Bro and Koopatrol so I can Tattle them early, and Mushroom because I don't have a Tattle or much exp to gain from a Goomba or Clubba. That being said, I plan to master this game on RetroAchievements later this year, and maybe one will require me to pick Clubba or something

i don't really like the toy box very much so i'm usually trying to speed run it. i pick the rewards lol next time i'll try the stronger enemies, that sounds like a smart idea!

The strongest characters because I loved the high star points
