Hidden mini-games

While in the coffee shop in Flipside B1, enter 3-D mode to access a gold pipe that will take you to an arcade with three mini-games that use different functions of the Wii-mote. You can win prizes for top scores. A fourth game can be unlocked if you have a Gold Card.

Inifinite 3-D mode with Mario

Successfully complete the Pit Of 100 Trials in Flopside twice to get Mario’s card. This card allows you to enable 3-D mode for an unlimited amount of time.

Easy experience

After you complete Chapter 5, go back to Chapter 5-4. Go to the pipe that Sapiens keep coming out of, then jump on the block next to it and use Bowser’s flame. He will keep killing all the Sapiens that come out. You can get 7,500 to 10,000 experience points every minute.

Get 500 Coins, then go to the Flopside and buy a special item that is 500 Coins and gives 10,000 experience points. Do not use it yet. Go to a world with a Slow Mo or Speed Up Flower and get one. Then, use it. You will get 30,000 experience points instead of 10,000 experience points.

Easy Rubees

Buy a lot of Catch-Cards; SPs are optional. Go to a level with Amazee Dazees (the flowers that shoot music notes). Catch as many as you can. Each Amazee Dazee card is worth 300 Coins.

Buy a lot of Life Shrooms in World 1-2. Cook them, then sell them in Flipside for 96 Coins each.

While in the VIP room, start spinning on the gerbil wheel, then jump to the right and run to the left. If you are still on the side, hold Down. If done correctly, you should be sliding and moving faster. This is helpful to getting a lot of Rubees.

Dashell Pixl

After completing the Pit Of 100 Trials in Flipside, you will fight a dragon, Wrecktail. This is a new version of the first Boss, with the same attacks and same way to defeat it. Once you defeat Wrecktail, you will get a new Pixl, Dashell, who allows you to run at very high speeds.

Piccolo Pixl

To get the Piccolo Pixl, you first must be able to visit Flopside. Visit Merlee on the second floor of Flopside and talk to her on the opposite side of the crystal ball. Next, talk to Merluvee in Flipside. Talk to Bestovious in Lineland. Talk to Watchitt in Yold. Then, give what Watchitt gave you to Bestovious. Give what Bestovious gave you to Merluvee. Give what Merluvee gave you to Merlee to get a key. Finally, go to the first floor of Flipside and open the locked door near the card shop. Go inside the house and open the treasure chest to get the Piccolo Pixl. Piccolo puts enemies to sleep. There are also special walls with a drawing of him engraved on it; you can use him to make the walls disappear, revealing secret items.

Pixl abilities

Get the indicated Pixl to unlock the corresponding special ability:

Whenever you get stuck, save the game near your current location. Then, take the return pipe back to Flipside and go to the fortune teller. Once you have your hint, press Home and reset the game. You will return to your save where you were stuck and the price of the fortune teller’s services will never go up.

Style moves

After landing on an enemy to do damage, you can twist the Wii-mote in your hands and shake it to execute Style moves. Holding Jump during this attack will cause you to jump higher, thus giving you more time to shake and line up for a follow up attack. The more Style moves you do in a row, the higher your multiplier will be. This will greatly increase the pace at which you gain levels.

Tiptron

At the end of the game, you will not have Tippi anymore. If you want a robotic version of Tippi, go to Chapter 3-4 (Fort Francis), and buy Tiptron for 999 Coins. Tiptron has the same advantages as Tippi. You can use him the same way and shows you the same things.

Shortcut in Chapter 3-1

In Chapter 3-1, there is an underground portion. Near the end, there are elevators going up. Ride them up and walk along the top. You will come to an area with three warp pipes. Take the middle one to end up much closer to Bowser’s castle.

Getting the Space Helmet in Chapter 4-1

When you first enter the door to Chapter 4-1, you will not be able to breathe and need to find a Space Helmet. Exit and see Merlon. He will tell you he has something, but realizes he gave it away. Go to the third floor in Flipside to find a kid holding a fishbowl. Speak to him and he will give it to you, but you must first find a place to release the fish. Go to Flipside B1. Go to the right until you find a body of water. A dialogue will appear, asking if you want to release him. Say “Yes” and he will be released. Go back to Chapter 4-1 and you will be asked if want to use the helmet. Say “Yes” and you can continue.

Locked room in Merlee’s mansion

When you have to pay 1,000,000 Rubees, earn 100 Rubees then find a man in red. Give him the 100 Rubees to get the code to get in the VIP room. Then, get 10,000 Rubees and give it to another person in red. Note: You must flip to find this one. He will give you the code to the safe, but you will need a certain Pixl to get to it. To save money, the code to the VIP room is “5963” and the safe is “41262816“.

Guessing the real Merlee

When you have to choose between the two Merlees, the real one will have a fly going around it from hiding in the toilet.

Mario series reference

Enter Room 2828 in the Castle Of Francis to find action figures and posters from other Mario games.

Wii reference

When you enter Francis’ room (with the password “2828“), turn 3-D and look at the far wall and the television. Look to the left, and you will see a Nintendo Wii system with a few games. It even has the sensor bar at the top of the television.

Completion bonuses

Successfully complete the game to unlock Professional mode, the “Extras” menu (with “Bonus”, “Separate Ways”, “Assignment Ada”, “Mercenaries”, and “Movie Browser” options), “Wii Edition credits” option (in the “Bonus” menu), Infinite Rocket Launcher, Matilda, and alternate of costumes for Ashley, Leon, and Ada.

Successfully complete the game on the Professional difficulty setting to unlock the PRL 412 weapon.

Successfully complete Separate Ways mode to unlock Ashley’s armored knight and Leon’s suit.

Successfully complete Assignment Ada and Separate Ways mode to unlock the Chicago Typewriter weapon for purchase for one million Pesetas.

Successfully complete Mercenaries mode with all characters with a five star rank to unlock the Handcannon weapon.

Bonus characters in Mercenaries mode

Get a four star or higher rank in the indicated Mercenaries mode level to unlock the corresponding character in Mercenaries mode:

When starting Mercenaries mode, play as Leon and go to the castle. It is much easier to get a good ranking because you can give the enemies a suplex, which almost always kills them in one hit. When you get Jack Krauser from the castle, you can then go to other areas, and it will make it much easier because of his arm.

Hidden videos

There are two hidden cinematics accessible at the title screen. One can be accessed by remaining idle at the main menu until it starts. The other can be seen by pressing B on the Wii-mote at the main menu.

Opening doors quicker

When the “Open” command appears by a door, tap A(2) to kick it open quickly. Doing this will also damage any enemies behind the door at the time you kick.

Easy money

When you get to the church, shoot the bell. Every three times you shoot it, some villagers will appear. Kill them, and you will get anything from Pesetas to ammo and herbs. You can do this as many times as desired. This is effective if you have a lot of ammunition or the Chicago Typewriter.

To earn easy money while playing through the game again, carry an empty Handcannon. It costs no money to have, but you will pick up ammunition for it occasionally. This is worth more than any other type of ammo in the game. After collecting the ammunition, sell it to the merchant. Try using the Chicago Typewriter as your main gun while doing this.

Reticule feedback

Equip your handgun and aim the on-screen reticule at any torch or suspended light. Some times the reticule will turn red and deliver a slight jolt in the Wii-mote to indicate ammunition or a treasure that you can shoot from the light and retrieve. This is a slight advantage not available in previous versions of the game.

Avoiding enemies at start

After you use the chief’s false eye to open the door, walk up the hill until the truck comes at you. Shoot it and get back. Once it explodes, walk back up the hill, but go backwards. Keep going all the way to the castle and you will avoid facing the enemies that would normally appear.

Saving ammunition

If you find yourself surrounded by some parasites of Los Ganados or los Illuminados and do not want to waste ammunition, quickly throw a flash grenade. Once it explodes, it should make the parasites explode, saving your other ammunition.

Alternate controls

Disconnect the Nunchuck when the game loads. When prompted to attach the Nunchuck, attach the Classic Controller instead. You can play classic style Laser Sight and all.

Remove the Nunchuck, and insert a GameCube controller into port one. You will now have a laser sight on your weapons and be able to use all of the GameCube’s normal controls. Note: This is very helpful for sniping.

Defeating El Gigantes

When fighting an El Gigante in its second form, take out your Killer 7 and shoot the parasite, or climb on its back and cut it. Either way, this saves health, ammunition, and a lot of frustration. Note: This is really only beneficial if you do not have one of the special weapons.

Defeating Milita

Instead of shooting for their head, shoot them in the knee, then walk up to them. Instead “Kick”, “Suplex” will appear. This will usually kill them instantly. This will not work if their head is armored.

Defeating the Regenerator

If you find your rifle is empty, you can also defeat the Regenerator by shooting a mine into the spot around the parasite. If it is on its back, shoot out its legs with your handgun, then fire a mine into its back. If this does not work, find out where the parasite is on the Regenerator and try again.

Defeating U3 (It)

While you are in the giant crates, you can maneuver around U3. When you get to the gate, it will follow you. Run around and shoot it, bringing it closer to the explosive barrels. When you run out of barrels, fire either your shotgun or magnum.

Leon hat trick

To make Leon do a special trick with his hat, unlock the gangster costume and Chicago Typewriter. At any point in the game while in Leon’s gangster costume, take out the Chicago Typewriter, aim, and shake the Wii-mote to reload. Leon will make a noise and move his hat. If you do this four times, he will throw his hat in the air and catch it on his head.
