I need help in M & L!

I'am in the last boss I always beat Bowletta which is quite easy but when I get to Cackletta I hit her lots of times in the heart with my most powerful moves (Mario drains about 80hp of Cackletta and Luigi drains around 50 they are both in level 37) and after five times of opening up her heart and pounding it she beats me either with her laser eyes or rolling her hands like a merry go round. Can anyone help me?

As for spinning the arms, you just need to get the pattern down. The laser eyes are fairly easy to avoid if you know what to do. First, pay attention to which direction each eye is pointing. If an eye is up, the laser will shoot over your head, but if it's down, you must jump over the beam. Cackletta's left eye(on your right hand side) corresponds to Luigi and her right eye corresponds to Mario. If you determine that either or both brothers need to jump to avoid a laser beam, don't jump until you see Cackletta's eyes flash brightly. Time will freeze while you're in the appropriate position and you should escape unscathed.

It also couldn't hurt to level up more. I think I was at level 43 or so. Make sure all your Bros. attacks are advanced, and don't forget the two you can get from Thwomp in the Mallet Bros' cave. You also will need plenty of Max and Ultra Nuts and 1-up Supers. But Cackletta is, without a doubt, the most challenging opponent in the game. Good luck!

Teh...I've gotton THIS close[||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| ] to beating her, and she whips out the balls, killing me almost instantly!!! And I'm at a much higher level, with Bro attacks doing(combined) 147 damage! But is the heart weak to fire and/or electricity, or does it asorb both?

only her arms can be damaged by the hand attacks, use mario's for the left arm, and luigi's for the right

For defense, the only thing that I can recommend is to try to memorize the attacks that come at you, and when you do take damage, you're not 1 or 2 hits from dying. Nuts help.

For offense, I hope you've upgraded your attack power a lot in level-ups. Try using Bros. attacks at LV3 so that they don't drain your BP, and keep syrups handy.

I've seen her beaten in two turns, though.

Mario had a crazy amount of speed, and Luigi had the Mario Follow ability from the School Slacks.

Mario, 1st turn: (Argh, what's the move that does good damage to all enemies?) Cackletta's head and arms disappear, and the heart is revealed.
Luigi, 1st turn: Advanced Knockback Bros. (About 500 damage, then about 200, 200, 100, 100, 50, 50...)
Heart, 1st turn: Revive the body parts.
Mario, 2nd turn: Advanced Chopper Bros.
Luigi, 2nd turn: Advanced Knockback Bros. The heart and everything else is destroyed.

When she´s spinning her arms, pay attention to her eyes. If she looks down, jump the arm currently coming at you. If she looks up, stay on the ground.

Actually, when I used thunder bros. I thought I could lower Cackletta's heart's defense. But when I used it, it attacked her arms and the heart too. But instead when the arms got damaged, they were both healed. Even the right.

..500?! What level were Mario and Luigi at?! At 37, Advanced, the most damage I did (using Splash Bros) was in the 260 range.

By the way, if that seems a little unreal, I abused the hell out of Starbeans. Lots of big stat boosts, no levelling up.

using the Chopper and Cyclone attacks, I Koed her really quick. it will take out the heart in One Hit. one atk from Mario's Lv 2 Hammer attack can KO the heart easily!!!

[super_smasher]

how can u KO her in 2 hits?! you'd have to be at level 50 to do that!

This wasn't my game; it was my stepbrother's.

I think Luigi or Mario also had on the Great Force. It didn't really matter 'cuz the brothers never got hit anyways.

Okay, I got the information better now. This is what actually happened:

The brothers had on the AA mushroom badge and a complete stock of every single mushroom added on to the Great Force.

Luigi, turn 1: Max Nuts.
Mario, turn 1: Advanced Chopper Bros. on the head. Gone.
Arms, turn 1: Try to reach out for Mario and Luigi; they both whack it with the hammer making them vanish instantly.
Heart, turn 1: Revive the body parts.
Arms, turn 2: Cackletta does the "spinning arms" move; each attack is jumped.
Luigi, turn 2: Advanced Knockback Bros.
Mario, turn 2: Advanced Chopper Bros. Gone.
