Leveling Up

One of the key factors of pretty much any game. There are a few ways to gain experience in the game like winning battles of course, using power stars and run into enemies to gain experience. If you go to the menu screen then to status at the bottom of it, it will tell you how much is left for you to gain a new level. Really try to fight every battle you run into so you have a better chance defeating the bosses ahead of you unless you have low hp and don’t want to be killed and get a game over.

When you do level up it will come to a screen were you can pick bonuses like Hp bonus, attack bonus or Magic bonus which adds on to the stats you already gain from leveling up. Best idea you can do is have one of each of your characters stick to one of the bonues each.
