I’m currently playing through this game for like the 6th time and I have NEVER known that there was a badge shop at the second floor of the inn at rogueport… IVE NEVER ENTERED THE INN AT ROGUEPORT BEFORE!!!

I also discovered that ive NEVER been through the 100 floor dungeon before… IVE NEVER EVEN ATTEMPTED IT. I dont know what the fuck was wrong with me before, that I apparently have been ignoring 20% of the game, but please, if you know anything even SLIGHTLY out of the way, please tell me, because I am an idiot, and I want to beat this game very badly

I tried to replay this game because I can never remember it as well as I do the first one, but I love this game just as much. I played the first game again recently and demolished it, but I feel like Im playing this one on hard mode. I decided to upgrade Goombella instead of koops, because Ive realized now that tattle is amazing, but I am basically adding only into badge power over hp and fp. I think I can manage if I min-max, but the game aint easy. any tips?

EDIT: I just discovered the sidequest board…. Im starting to believe that ive never actually played this game before.
