Border Jump
-----------
Location: Stardust Fields
Bros. Used: Mario & Luigi
Difficulty: 3/5 ***
Hee Beans: 1 in Lv1, 2 in L2, 3 in L3 etc.
FAQ: Border jump is the game you have to win that will allow you to reach
the BeanBean Kingdom. The Idea of the Game is jump over the rope that the
two Hammer Bro's pull around you. You ned to jump over the rope numerous
times to win.
Rules: Jump over the rope with both Mario and Luigi. They both have three
lives and everytime the rope hits them they lose a life. You must jump over
the rope all times required without either Bro losing all three lives.
Strategy: Make sure you always watch how fast or where the rope is being
pulled. The are four different ways that the rope will be pulled they are:
1. From one side to the other at a normal pace or much faster.
2. From one side to the other where the bottom of the rope is slightly behind
the top.
3. They will look like they are about to pull from side to side but they will
switch ends and then pull.
4. They will move around in a circle. This is right near the end.
Level 5: In the section of border jump, after completing all four jumps,
there is an additional level that can be played. The way to play this level
is to say no when the two hammer bro ask you whether you want to play
border jump. Then they will ask you if you want to play "compete border
jump". Saying yes to this will allow you to play level 5. Level 5 will not
appear on the list together with all other 4 levels. The only way to play
level 5 is to go through the process described above.
Hee Beans: After winning level one you the first time will gain NO Hee Beans
here is a list of the Hee Benas you can win:
Level 1: 1 Bean (After the First Time)
Level 2: 2 Beans
Level 3: 3 Beans
Level 4: 4 Beans
Level 5: 7 Beans (Secret Level)

Diamond Mines
-------------
Location: Hoo Hoo Mountain Descent
Bros. Used: Mario & Luigi
Difficuly: 2/5 **
Hee Beans: Same as Border Jump
FAQ: Talk to the old man by the tracks to start the game. You must collect
a certain amount of jewels by the end of the tack to get your prize. If
you don't you can still continue on you just can't get your prize.
Rules: Luigi will be on the back track and Mario on the front. You must
collect the red jewels for Mario and Green for Luigig. Each Jewel is worth
one point. For every enemy you hit you lose jewels.
Strategy: The first time through you only need to collect 10 jewels. However,
as the levels get higher you will have to collect more jewels each time.
Mario hhas a flashlight which you use so you can see where Luigi is going.
You can also use the light to shine at the bats which scare them away.
Make sure you jump over the pointy rocks on the ground as they are enemies.
Also make sure that Mario always can keep sight of Luigi.

Beanlet Search
--------------
Location: BeanBean Castle Town
Bros. Used: Mario & Luigi

you tp

Beanstone Search

Difficuly: 1/5 *
Hee Beans: None
FAQ: Talk to the old man south of the Fashion Shop to start the search. You
need to find all ten beanstones and then return to him to gain your prize.
Strategy: Hammer Mario into the ground so he is small and then Mario will
get a circle above his head. The bigger the circle the closer you are to
the stone. When you find its location make Mario bigger and hammer Luigi
into the ground and dig up the stone.
Locations: Here are the locations of the ten Bean Stones

Harhall's Clothing Design Studio
--------------------------------
Location: Southern area of world
Bros. Used: Mario & Luigi
Difficulty: 3/5 ***
Hee Beans: None
FAQ: Use the water and fill Mario up. Then use Lugig to hammer the desing
bombs into the shirt on the opposite platform. If you hit one design bomb
at a time you will get just that colour or pattern. However if you hit two
at the same time they will mix together and you will get a new result.
Here is a list of the colours and patterns you get by mixing the design
bombs:
Yellow + Blue = Green
Red + Yellow = Orange
Red + Blue = Purple
Red + Blue + Yellow = Brown
Any two patterns = Star
Strategy: Here is the four different tyoes of shirts that Harhall wants:
1. Red Colour, your choice of design
2. Yellow Colour, Check Design
3. Purple Colour, Polka-Dot Design
4. Brown Colour, Star Design
After you have completed the mini-game the first time Harhal will give you
a piece of the Bean Star. If you come back after that talk to him again
and this time you must make every shirt combination possile. Hre will keep
a charct record of this. After getting all the possible shirts he will reward
you with Harhall's Pants. This is all you can do here then.

Star 'Stache Smash
------------------
Location: Little FungitTown
Bros. Used: None
Difficuly: 2/5 **
Hee Beans: Depends on your score
FAQ: The Idea is to tilt the tray with the items on it into the open holes at
each side of the screen. Everytinme you put a item through you get a certain
amount of points, here is a table with the points:
Star: 5 Points
Fire Flower: 3 Points
Mushroom: 1 Point
Bob-omb: 1 Point
Strategy: Everytime you put a bob-omb in a hole the hole will close and the
other hole on the otherside will open. If you tilt the tray all the way down
onlt f the holes is at the bottom will you get any in. Other wise tilt the
tray up if the hole is further up. You have 60 Seconds and the first time you
win you get an Invisishroom. Any other time depending on your score you will
get a certain amount of Hee Beans.
------
Barrel
------
Location: S.S Chuckola
Bros. Used: Mario & Luigi
Difficulty: 5/5 *****
Hee Benas: Same as Border Jump
FAQ: You have to line up the barrels of the same colour. You must make a full
linbe of each. Once you do that you will gain one point per line. Luigi
controls the side and Mario the top. Mario can push Barrels up and down and
Luigi can push them from side to side.
Rules: Line up the barrels of the same colour to gain a point. The first time
you play you need ten points to win.
Strategy: There is not a lot I can help you with because the barrels appear
in a random order. You have 180 seconds in which to line them up. The
first time you win you get the membership card and any other time you play
you get Hee Beans.
---------------
Chuckola Bounce
---------------
Location: Wrinkle Colloseum
Bro's Used: Mario & Luigi
Difficuly: 4/5 ****
Hee Beans: Same as Border Jump
FAQ: The bros. will have an orange board bewteen them. ou must rotate around
and reflect the bullets that are fired at you and hit them back at the rocks
(chuckarocks) around the arena. You can also pick up a mushroom which make
you like a reflector as well.
Strategy: Every time you it a rock you ian a point. You must gain as many
points as possible. The best way to do it is either constantly spin around
in circles or go towards the one you think you can hit.
------------
Surfing Game
------------
Location: Sea
Bro's Used: Mario rider and Lugig as the Board
Difficuly: 3/5 ***
Hee Beans: Two Hee Beans
FAQ: You must hammer Luigi into the slot and use him as a board. Surf across
the sea east until you reac a small island. Here talk to the guy there to
start the game. You must do certain things at different parts of the ocean.
The first time you win you get a abdge. The othjer times you get two Hoo
Beans, two Hee Beans and two chuckle beans.
Strategy: Basically, you follow a path set by arrows in the water, where you
will spot 23 Oho Balloons overhead. The objective is to follow the path
going east, south, and west, hitting all 23 balloons, then ending at the
second island in under a minute. It's fairly easy to do; just watch out for
the explosives in the water so you don't get knocked around in the air, and
try not to overshoot your jumps, as it's a pain to turn around constantly.
There are 4 balloons in the first area, which you can get with single jumps
to each. In the second east-going area, there are 3 ballons you get with
single jumps, then 2 you can get in one jump since they're close enough.
They're followed by 1 more before going to the third segment. After hitting
the first balloon, take a sharp southeast turn and hit 2 southbound balloons,
then another sharp southwest turn for 1 more. In the fourth area, jump to get
the first balloon there, then jump over a barrel to get 3 in one shot. Up
ahead, there are 2 more you can get in one jump; just make sure you jump when
you're actually under the first one, and you should get them both.
As for the final area, there are more barrels, so try and plot a straight
path so you can hit the balloons, but not swerve around the barrels. After
the single barrel, there are 2 more you can get like in the previous area
with one jump. Ahead is the second island, where the course ends. Another
good hint for gaining speed is when you jump and land, you'll experience a
slight slowdown. Don't jump too quickly after landing, since those few
moments of added boost can help you in the long run. That's about all I can
say that can help you get through this course quickly.
If you make it to the end, you'll get a Hoo Bean; beat it in under 45 seconds
for a Chuckle Bean. If you wish to continue, make it in 40 seconds to get 2
Chuckle and Hoo Beans. If you get it at 38 seconds, the first time you'll
receive the Casual Coral gear; subsequent times will net you 2 Woo, Hoo, and
Chuckle Beans.
