Timing For Styles
To get help on landing those Stylish moves, get the badge called "Time Tutor" or "Timing Tutor" or something similar to that. With that badge equipped, when you are in battle, if there is an opportunity to add a little Style to your attacks and moves, a little "!" speech bubble will appear above your character at the moment you should press the A Button.
Style
Directly after a hammer attack, or at the highest point after a jump attack, tap A again and Mario will do a stylish trick earning him more star points. This works for his allies as well. Tap A directly after doing Koops shell throw and he will spin on his back earning more style.
Easy Money
Once you've gotten to PetalBurg in the First Chapter you can use a trick to make easy money. First go to RougePort and buy as many sleepy sheep as you can carry, making sure to fill up your storage box aswell. When your pockets and storage box is full, head over to PetalBurg. Once at Petalburg, go into the Item Shop to sell your sleepy sheep for a 2 coin profit per sheep. Make sure you remember to withdraw and sell all the sleepy sheep you stored. To increase productivity, on the way back to rougueport, stock up on turtley leaves, again filling up the storage box, and sell them at the item shop where you picked up the sleepy sheep to gain 2 coins per leaf.
After getting Taste T. you can cook the leaves into koopa tea for an extra 1 coin per leaf.
Extra Clothes
There are 3 extra cloths Mario can wear, his only changes marios clothing color, not his physical appearance.
If you collect the W Emblem badge from Charlieton, the traveling salesman, equip it to change into Wario's clothes.
If you collect the L Emblem badge from Poshley Sanctum, equip it to change into Luigi's clothes.
Equip both the W and L Emblem badges to change into Waluigi's Clothes.

In the game, there are two Emblem badges. They are the W Emblem, and the L Emblem. Finding these badges is tough. Equipping the W Emblem will make Mario use Wario's Costume. Equipping the L Emblem will make Mario use Luigi's Costume.During Chapter 4, Charlieton (The BIG guy in Rogueport Plaza, South of the cook's house.) will sell the W Emblem for 360 coins.
It is rumored that equipping the W and L Emblems at the same time will unlock Waluigi's costume, but it's a rumor, so don't get mad if it DOESN'T work.
Infinite Shop Points
First you will have to have given Zest T. her new contact lense. Then buy a lot of mushrooms at the shop in RoguePort for 5 coins each. Then cook them all into Shroom Frys at Zest T.'s. You can sell the Shroom Frys back for 5 coins, the same price you paid for the mushrooms. Using this you can gain free shop points. Note: This trick only works once you have Zest T.
Free Tattle
Go to Profesor Frankly's office and press the big green button (A) at his garbage and info about a random enemy and is transferred to your tattle log.
Shadow Palace Maze
In the shadow palace you will eventually run into a hallway with 4 doors and many stairs. This is a maze. All of the rooms look the same except for one thing: the torches. Follow the position of the flame (and the door nearby) to get through the maze.
Whack a Mole
In chapter 5 on Keelhaul Key, walk to the northwest of the camp. Talk to the mole and hit him with your hammer he will leave behind a bump, get the bump. You can leave the area and go back there again to repeat this. Or, after you finish the pirate’s grotto you can enter the grotto through the hole in the mountain and exit, then whack the mole again and again. This way is a lot faster. You can sell them in different places for different profit.
The shop in the Rougeport plaza - 55 coins.
The shop next to Pianta Parlor - 64 coins
Excess Express - 100 coins
Every other shop will only give you 50 coins.

You can’t have more than 999 coins.
The Secret Behind the Title
The big ship you see there has pulleys and chains. Well, back in the old days during pirate time, Captains would keelhaul shipmates by tying them to pulleys and lowering them in the water. Thus, leading the pulleys to the other side of the ship, scraping the shipmates on the bottom of the ship. Many pirates died from lack of air and injuries back then. That is why the name is Keelhaul! Torturous don't you think!
