HP Heroes Run - Bowser and Toadstool, always pick HP. Similar to Waddler's HP Workers run, though I will use equipment and instead the second condition is that I always use Bowser and Toadstool whenever I can.

Well, I'm back to LPing Super Mario RPG Revolution, rather than having to deal with the Hyphy Movement, the San Francisco Bay Area residents who prove that it doesn't deserve to be called the "Yay Area", the shallow girls who would say "wanna suck my pee" just to mock me, and the Oakland rioters. Now I'm using 5.0, rather than 4.0 which has broken HP Rain, although I'm no longer using Mallow now anyway. This LP will try to double as a bestiary. Be sure to stay on the lookout, but if you want to play the ROM hack blind, only view the videos after getting past the necessary point. (And before you comment, please don't bother to ask me for the recommended level for any boss. I'll probably keep my EXP value low to begin with, so I might actually be underleveled for some bosses. :P )

Finally having joined our party last time is Princess Toadstool. Toadstool, known as Peach in both Revolution and any Mario game later than Super Mario RPG, is basically a White Mage, even though Paula Polestar from Earthbound--a game released earlier than SMRPG--was a Black Mage. But this game is a Mario game, why complain. Toadstool got nerfed big time in Revolution, because she started broken and ended up with brokenness on par with Doctor Fascinating Caulder from Advance Wars Days of Ruin. Why? There's a variety of reasons, but they generally involve her being a healer without Revolution's higher end HP/enemy ATK to worry about. She starts with Therapy, which has had its FP cost increased for providing status curing, which alone obsoletes Mallow as a healer. She started with another special in vanilla SMRPG, but not anymore, and you'll see why. Considering why it's the main cause of her previous absurd brokenness (even making old Therapy look balanced), I can't blame Waddler.

At Star Hill, Mario looks around for the Star Piece, fighting new weirdo enemies along the way. Not much to say about the Breather Level except THE ENCOUNTER RATE OF SOME OF THE NEW ENEMIES IS STUPIDLY LOW. A shame, because I got lucky with an early Bahamutt encounter. (Bahamutt is rare and only encountered with a Gecko.) While Mario and company look around, he listens to some wishes, stumbling upon one from Mallow's real parents wishing for Mallow to come back to them. Soon enough, Mario finds the Star Piece without having to fight for it whatsoever.

4 down, 3 to go. We're over halfway now. Of course, if Evil Only Needs To Win Once, we may be in trouble anyway.

After that and seeing that Raz and Raini are doing nicely and having their honeymoon at Yo'ster Isle, Mario and company head for Seaside Town, near Star Hill, to get some R&R. But as soon as they enter, they get some odd feeling about the place.....
