This page offers a guide on all of Geno’s Special Attacks in the Super Mario RPG remake. You’ll learn all you need to know about how to unlock special attacks, how much damage they do, and how to use them!

List of All Geno’s Special Attacks¶

Geno has some great offensive and utility Special Attacks making him a relatively versatile character. For the most part, you may want to end up using his damaging attacks but it’s also good to boost your other party members too.

Special Attack	Level Unlock	Power	Effects	FP Cost
Geno Beam	Default	40 Power	Damage one enemy, and if you Hold “A” until just before the beam discharges and when it reaches five stars, release the “A” button to deal extra damage.	3 FP
Geno Boost	Lv. 8	None	Raise an ally’s attack by 50%. If you hit the “A” right before the move, it’ll also raise the ally’s defense by 50%.	4 FP
Geno Whirl	Lv. 11	45 Power	Damage one enemy and if you hit “A” it will deal 9999 damage!	8 FP
Geno Blast	Lv. 14	50 Power	Damage all enemies, and if you Hold “A” until just before the beam discharges and when it reaches five stars, release the A button to deal extra damage.	12 FP
Geno Flash	Lv. 17	60 Power	The same as Geno Blast but more powerful.	16 FP

Geno Beam, Geno Blast and Geno Flash¶

Geno Beam, Geno Blast and Geno Flash all perform in largely the same way. Geno Beam, the default version, will damage only one enemy but you can perform extra damage if you hold and discharge the attack at the perfect time. Geno Blast and Geno Flash will target all enemies but utilize the same charge and release mechanism to deal extra damage!

Geno Boost¶

Geno Boost is a utility special move that allows you to boost another ally’s attack by 50% and if you press “A” before the end of the animation, it’ll also raise the ally’s defense by 50%! This is a nice ability for when another of your members is the star of the show and you’re looking to boost their damage and keep them alive a bit longer!

Geno Whirl¶

Geno Whirl is basically a one-shotting ability if you press “A” at the perfect time. It will do a huge amount of damage to one enemy and if you hit the “A” it’ll increase the damage to 9999! And what’s better, Geno’s attacks always have a 100% hit rate!
