Started playing PM:TTYD again

Snowstalker
First time in a couple years, and I'm liking it. Though I can spot problems (too much time wasted just walking back and forth is the big one--why was the thing with the Twilight Town pipe necessary?), it's overall fun. Got a black Yoshi I named Diablo, fooled around in the Glitz Pit, and right now I'm in Chapter 4, right when I got Vivian (her and Yoshi are my favorites in battle, with Goombella 3rd).
 
That's good to hear. I beat all the sidequests. It's an awesome game.
 
I started playing it not too long ago. It's an awesome game. I don't know what I have been missing out on these years I didn't get it
 
Did anyone try a pre-Hooktail run of the Pit of 100 Trials?
 
Was it a pre-Hooktail run?
 
I am about to go on Excess Express which is after Cortez, right?
 
Yes it is. But you have to do an annoying Peach interlude first. I suggest bringing along some recovery items and have attacks that can hit multiple opponents at once. You'll need them for the Chapter 6 boss.
 
I always use items against bosses. They help alot. I can use Vivan's fiery jinx or Bobbery's bombs if I can do it right.
