Today, we’re diving into one of the tougher side quests in Mario & Luigi: Brothership—Monster Mania 4. If you’re familiar with the Monster Mania series of quests, you’ll know they’re no walk in the park. While the first two require some clever strategy, and the third installment surprisingly eases up a bit, Monster Mania 4 cranks the difficulty back up with a mob of Bob-ombs that can KO you in a single hit.
## Monster Mania 4 Side Quest Walkthrough
This quest takes you to Offandon Island, where an NPC throws down the gauntlet to defeat a massive bunch of Bob-ombs. These aren’t your average Bob-ombs; one hit from them and you’re toast. The general strategy involves these explosives sprinting towards you, prompting you to leap over them. Miss your cue, and they’ll zip back, zeroing in on Mario or Luigi. The critical part is this: you have to ace the timing on your jumps to evade their attacks. If timing’s not your forte, stock up on defensive Battle Plugs like Protectus, Notdroppin, and Charge Bank, as Damage Shield won’t save you here. Interestingly, the Bob-ombs only sustain 1 damage from your attacks, so precision jumping is key. You’ll need to time your jumps just right to send a Bob-omb crashing back into its squad, causing a chain reaction explosion. Be wary, relying on Easy-Peasy Counters isn’t foolproof; a poorly timed jump leaves you hovering over an explosion waiting to happen.
This quest may test your mettle, but with strategic use of defensive Battle Plugs and a dash of good fortune, you can come out on top.
