Super Mario RPG: How To Defeat Wizakoopa

Bowser's Wizakoopa — or Magikoopa on the SNES — has turned on his master, and he's ready to block your path to make it further into Bowser's Keep.

Super Mario RPG's final hours are a gauntlet of bosses, and Wizakoopa is the first you'll bump into.

In this guide, we'll tell you the best party and best strategy against the Wizakoopa boss.

How to beat Wizakoopa Magikoopa

Recommended party: Mario, and... anyone, really

If you have Mario's ultimate weapon, then this fight will be a breeze. Wizakoopa is resistant to magic, so just use Geno Boost and unleash physical attacks with Mario and Bowser.

When it’s taken enough damage, the Wizakoopa will summon a huge Bob-omb to hide behind. Use your strongest attacks. If you're strong enough, you might be able to take the bomb out in a single turn. Take out any additional enemies the Wizakoopa summons, and when he's vulnerable, resume your attack.

This is more of an annoyance than a hard boss fight, and Wizakoopa should go down soon enough.
