The battle against the Axem Rangers takes aboard a large airship atop a volcano. Mario and his friends take part in tactical turn-based combat against the 5 Rangers after a rather long-winded speech about destroying the Star Piece and crushing hope.

Thankfully, the battle is manageable as long as players stick to exploiting the correct weakness of each Ranger. Here are all the Axem Rangers and their weaknesses:

• Black Axem Ranger: Electricity.
• Red Axem Ranger: Ice.
• Yellow Axem Ranger: Jump.
• Green Axem Ranger: Ice.
• Pink Axem Ranger: Physical.

Keep the following pointers in mind when in battle:

• Make sure to deal with the Pink Ranger first. This is essential to your victory, as the Pink Axem Ranger is the healer of the group.
• As the battle progresses, the Red Ranger will activate the menacing robot cannon. The cannon can take out a large chunk of your HP when activated, so make sure to use Heals and Shields efficiently.
• Whittle down your foes one by one until the battle ends.
