Battle
The Basics


 * Entering a Battle

Battles happen when Mario comes in contact with an enemy or automatically for bosses. The battle can start in one of three ways. First, it can start neutral. No one gets an extra strike at the beginning. Both sides are even. Second, the player may get a first strike. this may happen if the player jumps on an enemy, hits an enemy with a hammer, or uses a party member to attack an enemy in the overhead world. This will result with the player getting an extra attack before the actual battle starts.Third, the enemy may strike first in the overhead world resulting in them getting an opening attack.
