  • The "Ice Storm" Item
  • Attacks from Koopas
  • The Sound of Crickets
  • The Hammer
Explanation

In the game "Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door," Hooktail's weakness is the sound of crickets. When Mario enters Hooktail's lair, he discovers that Hooktail is afraid of the sound of crickets. Using the Super Boots, Mario is able to jump and stomp on a nearby switch, causing a sound that resembles chirping crickets. This weakens Hooktail and allows Mario to battle the dragon more effectively. The sound of crickets disturbs Hooktail and makes her more vulnerable, making it a clever strategy for defeating her.
