Faster music:
Repeatedly tap Select for faster music.
Hint: Unlimited magic butterflies:
Go to the cave in Onett and find the location where you can see the giant step but cannot get to it. Keep entering and exiting this location, heal yourself, then get more butterflies as needed.
Find the hole in the ground in the maze of tunnels under Tenda Village. Use it to drop down to a small cavern with a black talking rock and a butterfly. The rock will say similar to "You're in the Earth's belly button". Get the butterfly, then walk just far enough out of that room so the rock is no longer visible. Walk back in and the butterfly will re-appear. Keep collecting the butterflies as needed for full HP and HPP.
Hint: Unlimited attributes for any character:
Once you collect a Rock Candy, save it. Buy or collect as much of the Tin Of Cocoa Condiment as possible. Get in a battle having both the Rock Candy and Condiment in one character's inventory. When used in battle, the Condiment will be spent instead of the Rock Candy, giving you as much of an attribute as needed. This is very useful for increasing Jeff's IQ or Ness' Guts. Note: Save the game before using it in case of a mistake.
Hint: More money:
Use this technique to to increase your money early in the game. After reaching Twoson, there is a booth at Berlin Park (the flea market place) that sells fresh eggs. Buy as many fresh eggs as possible. Go to the Twoson shopping mall and wait. Give each egg three minutes or so to grow and hatch. Sell the chickens at a profit of $98 per egg. Note: Do not try to "Use" the chicken or it will run away.
Go to Happy Happy village, and find the stand where you can buy fresh eggs or bananas for free. Buy as many eggs as possible, wait for them to become chickens, sell them to the man at the drug store for $110 each.
There is a man sitting at a table on the left side inside the Hotel in Twoson . Talk to him ten to twenty times and he will give you some extra money.
Talk to the man in the Twoson Hotel sitting at the table outside your room. He will keep saying different things like, "It's so hot out today", followed by, "Is it cold today?". Keep talking to him until he finally says "Here, go buy yourself a juice or something".
After you defeat Master Belch, go back to Threed and enter the hospital. Go to the room with no one in it and walk over to the night stand. Press R or check and you will find an insignificant item. You can sell this for $1 at a store and $25 at the Happy Happy village store. Note: This item actually has another use in the game. Travel to Twoson and enter the hospital. There is a man there that will take the item and give you a Magic Truffle in return.
Go to the tunnel that takes you to the desert. When walking near the end of the road, you will see a sign that says "Desert". Go up and you will find a present containing $1000.
Go to the bridge with the ghosts in it. When you get to the outside, hold Right (with a rubber band or tape) so you move into the bridge. The ghosts will make you come back out where you started. This will go on indefinitely. When you call Dad he will have deposited lots of money in your account. The amount he deposits depends on how many steps you take.
If you kill a lot of enemies, go to the ATM machine. Your dad will have deposited extra money depending on the experience you received for the monster (for example, when you defeat someone guarding the "your sanctuary" places).
Hint: Easy experience:
After reaching the desert, there will be a single tree above the first Pyramid. Run around the desert for a while, then return to the tree. Eventually, a creature that resembles a red caterpillar will appear, running around very fast. Catch it and repeat (you can keep four alive) to get about 20,000 experience each. This may be repeated as needed.
In the part where you reach the desert after Treed, go into the open. Rarely, a green caterpillar runs around but does not seem to have any interest to fight. Instead, it will run away. Keep following it and do not go any other way or it will disappear. He will end up being trapped from escaping you. You can get it from behind. When you get to him, you will win with an automatic death. You will get over 10,000 experience points. If you have Poo, it will be worth over 7,000 experience points.
Hint: Finding Ego Orb:
Search in the lost underworld near the fire spring. You may have to do a lot of walking to locate him.
Hint: Finding the Death Ray:
The Death Ray for Jeff is located in the Tenda village in the junk yard.
Hint: Casey Bat:
When you get the Casey Bat, do not use it. It is a powerful bat, but normally has a horrible accuracy with a one in four chance of hitting anything.
When you have the Casey Bat, do not use it. Get into a battle and go to "Goods". Select the Casey Bat and it will always hit.
Hint: Finding the Broken Antenna:
The parabolic antenna can be obtained from a Uncontrollable Sphere in the area between the Tenda Village and the Lost Underworld. The Uncontrollable Sphere does explode, so enter prepared for a lot of fights.
The Broken Antenna can be found by defeating a monster called the Uncontrollable sphere in the Lumine hall before the underground part of the game.
Hint: Fast pizza:
To get your pizza within seconds instead of waiting ten to twenty minutes, make sure you have enough money in hand for however many pizzas you want. Make the call to the Mach pizza and place your order. Then, give Dad a call and save the game. Turn the SNES off, then back on. Load your game and the pizza man should come running up within a few seconds. This can be done as many time as needed, and is helpful before exploring a dungeon.
Hint: Defeating Bosses:
When going against a Boss, use Paralysis on him, then attack him normally until he dies.
Hint: Avoid enemies:
When you first see an enemy/enemies, stand still. If it/they do not chase after you, walk until the enemy is about two or three inches off screen, then return to the same location. They enemies could be gone, multiply, or still be there. Repeat this trick until you get the desired amount of enemies. Note: This does not work on Bosses.
Hint: Free hints from the hint men:
Call your dad on the phone and save the game. Go to the hint man and pay the fee for your hint. After you have the hint, turn off the game. When you resume, you will be at the save before you paid for the hint, thus saving your money.
