• Hey guys. So I finished up Paper Mario Sticker Star ridiculously fast...so I figured I could at least make a specific guide for Sticker Star. Yes, this guide is a bit on the spoiler side. But I've whited out names of enemies/Things.

• For now, this is only a guide for Things that should be used against the Bosses, a complete list of Thing locations, and some tips for the right side Super Flags, as they take more time than playing through the whole game normally.


=Boss Battle Stickers/Things:
Having troubles with a Boss? Most battles may be really hard/impossible without certain Stickers/Thing Stickers, seriously.
..And if you take too long without 'em Kersti may nag at you after a Royal Sticker boss battle. Lol. The names of the enemies and the Things have been whited out in this list, as well as the answers to when the Sticker should be used. Just Ctrl+F/Command+F to find the one you're having trouble with. Or highlight. Whichever works for you.
-Bowser Jr.: Scissors
When should this Sticker be used?: Immediately, if you want to save your Stickers. This will one shot 'em!

-Big Buzzy Beetle: Fire Flower / Ice Flower Stickers don't work on this guy. His weakness is his underside though, so try using Jump Stickers and POW Stickers to flip 'em over. Use Battle Spinner to use two or three attacks!

- Megasparkle Goomba: Fan / Scissors
When should this Sticker be used?: When Megasparkle Goomba is coming apart.

- Kamek: What's this?! You're stuck with Flip-Flop Stickers! All you can do is slap him silly, just try to use regular Jump / Hammer Stickers if you remember where these Stickers were in your album. Feel free to lol at Mario's expression while he's spanking Kamek, too.

- Tower Power Pokey: Bat / Newspaper / Toy Bat
When should this Sticker be used?: Wait for the Pokey to reach it's full height, which is when it has four body segments.

- Wiggler Segment: Nothing specific..just if it dodges one of your attacks, just try another type of Sticker instead.

- Big Scuttle Bug: Thing Stickers aren't needed for this battle. Use Fire Flower / Ice Flower Stickers to take down the web.

- Gooper Blooper: Sponge
When should this Sticker be used?: On the fourth turn, when Gooper Blooper's mostly in the water and is changing to dark shades of purple.

- Big Cheep Cheep: Fishhook / Thumbtack
When should this Sticker be used?:

- Big Boo: Vaccuum / Upright Vaccuum, or Faucet / Watering Can
When should this Sticker be used?: Use any of the Stickers mentioned when Big Boo becomes invisible, which is when the candles in the background are lit up. It's mandatory you use any of them, because it'll be impossible to attack the Big Boo while it's invisible!

-Bowser Jr.:

- Bowser Snow Statue / Mizzter Blizzard: Oven / Radiator
When should this Sticker be used?:

- Big Chain Chomp: Err...you can't beat this one. Seriously. It's a puzzle, to say at the least. Did you think of using Hammer Stickers on it's wooden post though?

-Petey Piranha:

- Bowser Jr.: Tail / Shiny Tail
When should this Sticker be used?:

- Kamek: What's this?! You're stuck with Flip-Flop Stickers! All you can do is slap him silly, just try to use regular Jump / Hammer Stickers if you remember where these Stickers were in your album. Feel free to lol at Mario's expression while he's spanking Kamek, too. Flip-Flop Stickers do not work if Kamek is floating higher in the air, however..

- Bowser:
Part 1: Tape
When should this Sticker be used?:
Part 2:
When should this Sticker be used?:
Part 3: Refrigerator
When should this Sticker be used?:
Part 4: Tail / Shiny Tail
When should this Sticker be used?:
Part 5: ???.....
When should this Sticker be used?: Immediately. Right away!...


=Thing List and Locations:
Did you miss a Thing? Right here is a list of all the Things in the game, and where the Things are, explaining a bit on where/how to get the Thing. The list is organized by Worlds. The names of the Things have been whited out! Just Ctrl+F/Command+F to find the one you're having trouble with. Or highlight. Whichever works for you.

Basin: Secret Door.

Guitar: Secret Door.



=Super Flag tips:
Because odds are, you probably haven't gotten all the Super Flags when you have cleared almost, if not all the Worlds since the set of Super Flags on the right require even more time playing than going through all the Worlds in a regular manor. There's nothing whited out here.

(Spend 10,000 Coins.)
-Buying Things from the Toad doesn't count towards this...

-Just buy a lot of Shiny Shell Stickers frequently, which is available in the Decalburg and W4-4's Shaved Ice Cave's Sticker Shops. Shiny Shell Stickers will make two other Super Flag achievements a bit easier to reach anyways.

-If you notice you seem to be a little low on Coins, go to W4-1 and battle Shiny Goombas and Shiny Paragoombas, they tend to give out a lot of Coins, even more when there's a group of them, especially if you get a Perfect Bonus. They get knocked out in 1 Red Shell hit as well.
(Get a Perfect Bonus in 500 battles.)
-You can only get a Perfect Bonus if you are not hit first at the start of a battle, and if you can finish the battle within your turn.

-Erm the sand in World 2 battles also applies to this, but surely you won't leave Mario alone that long right?..

-If you're in poisoned water, consider that as a timer. The longer you take, the sooner Mario will eventually take damage. If that happens, you will not receive a Perfect Bonus for that battle.
(Perform 1,000 Excellent attacks.)
-Any type of Hammer Stickers do not give Excellent attacks, so if you're aiming for this Super Flag, try to avoid using Hammer Sticker types unless you have to one.

-Really long..but there's an easy way. First, have a bunch of Shiny Shell/Shell Stickers (These are the easiest to get Excellent attacks), and a couple of Jump Stickers. Go anywhere in World 3 that has Ninji enemies. Encounter all of them (But don't Jump or Hammer it, that will most likely knock them out..) in the level and use only Shell/Shiny Shell Stickers until you find a Ninji that dodges your Shell. Then just keep using Shell Stickers and block each time the Ninji attacks until you are either low on HP or have run out of Shell Stickers. When that happens, finally finish it off with a Jump Sticker. Rinse and repeat this process as much as you want.

-Here's another method that also helps with getting more Coins. First have a ton of Shiny Ice Flower or Shiny Fire Flower Stickers. In W4-1 you can battle Shiny Goombas and Shiny Paragoombas, as they tend to be in groups and they get KO'd in one hit. After the 3rd ice/fireball, you will continue to get EXCELLENT!! per fireball properly timed. So depending on the amount of Goombas per battle, you can get +3 or +2 more Excellent attacks in a battle.

-Don't feel like doing that because that seems a little..unfair or something? How about this then?
First get a ton of Jump Stickers. Then clear W4-5 repeatedly, as that level forces you to battle constantly. Be sure to pick up the Comet Piece at the end all the time for this level too for the Coin bonus.
(Hit the Battle Spinner jackpot 50 times.)
-Press X during a battle to open the Battle Spinner, if you aren't sure what it is. It costs Coins to use the Battle Spinner, but if you hit the jackpot you can attack with 2/3 Stickers in your turn instead of 1! But the more you use the Battle Spinner per turn in a battle, the more Coins it may cost! Take note that once you've opened up the Battle Spinner, you have no choice but to use it.

-When you are going for the Super Flag, always go for the "Special" option. That makes it a lot easier to get the jackpot as it automatically matches the 2nd space, so you only have to worry about matching 1 block instead of 2.

-Try to go for the Coin! The Coin block appears the most in the Battle Spinner.
