Scoring

Learn how to score points by defeating enemies and collecting coins in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Each enemy and coin is worth 800 points.

There are two primary ways to score points within the stages of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga: defeating enemies and picking up stray Coins. Each enemy defeated and each Coin collected is worth 800 points.

To defeat an enemy, you must first hit the ledge the enemy is standing on from below, which flips the ledge onto its back. Once the ledge is flipped, you can jump up and kick the enemy away. Warning: If you hit an enemy directly before flipping its ledge, you will lose a life.

There are no specific scoring quotas required to advance to the next Phase (the game's term for levels). Progression is achieved by defeating a certain number of enemies, including the faster, blue versions of the regular stage enemies.
