Jinx (Rematch) Strategy and Countermeasures

- Win by using a 3-person technique
- Use characters you are familiar with for Action Commands
- Connecting chains greatly increases the gauge
Equip gear to counter instant-death attacks
If you fail an Action Command for an attack or special move, he will counter with an instant-death attack. Equip gear with instant-death resistance before the battle.
List of Equipment with Instant-Death Resistance
| Equipment | How to Obtain |
|---|---|
| Safety Ring | Treasure chest in a hidden room in the Sunken Ship |
| Jinx Belt | Defeat Jinx 3 times |
| Jumper Scarf | After achieving 30 Super Jumps, talk to the Dodo on the 2nd floor of a house in Monstro Town |
| Crystal Charm | Defeat Culex |
If you don't have the equipment, prepare Pick Me Ups
If you don't have instant-death resistance equipment, prepare for being defeated by purchasing many Pick Me Ups before the battle.
Win by using a 3-person technique
In this battle, you win the moment you use a 3-person technique, and the battle ends. Note that reducing Jinx's HP to 0 will not result in victory.
The 3-person technique gauge is reset at the start of the battle
The 3-person technique gauge is reset at the start of the battle, so there is no need to fill it up before the battle.
Use characters you are familiar with for Action Commands
The 3-person technique gauge increases with successful Action Commands, so the key in this battle is to use characters and moves you are familiar with. Since there is no need to reduce the enemy's HP, it's better not to use moves with unfamiliar commands.
Failing an Action Command results in an instant-death counter
If you fail an Action Command, he will counter with an attack that has an instant-death effect. It's not a problem if you have instant-death resistance equipment, but be careful if you don't.
Connecting chains greatly increases the gauge
As the chain increases, the amount the 3-person technique gauge rises also increases, so aim for successful Action Commands not only when attacking but also when defending.
Recommended Party and Equipment
Recommended Party
- Mario Lazy Shell (Weapon) Hero Shirt Jumper Scarf
- Geno Star Gun Star Cape Jinx Belt
- Peach Frying Pan Lazy Shell (Armor) Safety Ring
Since using a 3-person technique is the condition for victory in this battle, prioritize weapons with Action Commands you are good at, and feel free to switch them out according to your preference. For armor and accessories, choosing items that provide instant-death protection will ensure stability.
