General Guy Conditions: Hammerman, Pacifist Partners Stats: 15HP/10FP/18BP Badges: Quake Hammer, Spin Smash, Smash Charge, D-Down Pound, Mega Rush, HP Drain, Power Plus, Damage Dodge Items: Dusty Hammer x3, Fire Pop T1: Dusty Hammer (M=1) [No Guard] T2: Dusty Hammer T3: Turbo Charge, Quake Hammer (M=3) T4: Spin Smash (SS1=5 SS2=9) (M=2) [Guard] T5: Spin Smash (SS1=0 SS2=8) (M=1) [No Guard] T6: Hammer [No AC] (SS2=1) (M=2) [Guard] T7: Smash Charge (M=2) [Guard] T8: Fire Pop (M=1) [Guard] T9: Dusty Hammer T10: Quake Hammer (M=3) to (M=1) (G=22 B=0) [Guard] T11: Power Smash, Outta Sight (G=14) (M=2) T12: Hammer [No AC] (G=14) (M=1) [Guard] T13: Power Smash (G=6), Outta Sight (M=2) T14: Hammer [No AC] (G=6) (M=1) [Guard] T15: Hammer (G=0) -D-Down Pound is there for swag instead of Power Smash (it's just 1 more BP, but it rounds out the 18BP used) -You can use 10HP and an Egg Missile for 1 level lower, or 5HP and a few guards for 2 levels lower. Double Dusty Hammer, and Mario getting absolutely beaten, is way funnier though -You can use Double Dip and more FP (reduce your HP stat via the above) in exchange for one less turn. -You can also use an Egg Missile at the end for one less turn. -The Bulb has 8HP. Relevant AI: -Shy Squad (Phase 1) attacks for 1 damage per HP it has. It runs away after taking at least one damage on two separate turns. -Shy Stacks (Phase 3) attack for 1 damage per Shy Guy in the stack. It loses 1 after being hit by Spin Smash. -General Guy (Phase 4) attacks by throwing a bomb for 4 damage every turn. (The bulb attack is eliminated when it's defeated; this happens immediately in this strategy) Dissertation: I didn't like this condition at first, but... I ended up going with this strat anyway. I tried some other ideas with Mario Alone or just using partners normally, but they really didn't work out as clean as I'd have liked. Ultimately, I really wanted to go with a Hammerman strat to use Spin Smash in the only truly applicable location (for bosses). I also uploaded an alternate strat that uses Goombario's Charge and the Fire Pop+Life Shroom glitch. The only thing I don't really like about this is the missed ACs. (To some capacity, you need to miss some ACs for this to work out to perfect damage) ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDWge9PGuLM
