Today, let’s dive into the Monster Mania 4 side quest, a real test of skill within Mario & Luigi: Brothership. This series of side quests is known for its difficulty, with the first two installments demanding some strategic thinking. Interestingly enough, Monster Mania 3 throws a curveball by being more manageable, only to have things ramp up again in Monster Mania 4. You’re faced with a formidable group of Bob-ombs that can knock you out with a single blow.
Heading over to Offandon Island, you’ll encounter an NPC who challenges you to take down this daunting cluster of Bob-ombs. But these aren’t your typical foes. They’re capable of wiping out your team with just one hit. The trick here is keeping your wits about you as they charge. A tactical jump over their path is essential as they come barreling towards you, only to swing back around and chase after Mario or Luigi. Timing is everything — you need to leap right as they’re about to make contact. If that precision eludes you, it might be wise to arm yourself with defensive Battle Plugs like Protectus, Notdroppin, and Charge Bank. Unfortunately, Damage Shield won’t cut it since it can’t prevent a knockout.
Interestingly, these Bob-ombs don’t suffer more than a point of damage from your attacks. So, your best strategy is waiting until the last possible second to jump, causing them to crash back into their own ranks, triggering a chain reaction of explosions. Be cautious with Easy-Peasy Counters, though; it might not save you if you mistime your hover jump since the Bob-omb will just hover below, waiting for you.
Admittedly, this quest is quite the challenge, but with the right defensive gear and a dose of luck, you’ll get through it.
