Extinguish Flames with Normal Attacks

Hitting Strawberry with a normal attack can extinguish one candle flame. Incorporate normal attacks into your strategy to prevent the flames from increasing.

Putting Nokocchi to Sleep Stabilizes the Fight

Nokocchi is weak to sleep. Using Peach's "Sleepy Time" to put it to sleep will stop it from lighting candles, making it easier to perform actions other than normal attacks and stabilizing the strategy.

Strawberry is Weak to Jump

Since Strawberry is weak to Jump, focus on dealing damage with Mario's Jump attacks.

Note: Jump Attacks Cannot Extinguish Candle Flames

Candle flames can only be extinguished by normal attacks, so use Jump attacks after putting Nokocchi to sleep.

   CONGRAAAATULAAAAATIONSSS.

   Originally made for celebrations, so
   each time a candle is lit, it gets more and more excited,

   What exactly is so celebratory?

   Every time Strawberry gets excited,
   it feels a little sad that it doesn't have
   any candles of its own.

Nokocchi (Tired)

   So sleepy...

   Thanks to wearing its chef's hat low over its eyes,
   even if it dozes off from working all night, it's sure
   no one has noticed... probably.
