How To Get Mario or Luigi Palico Costumes in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate on 3DS
I ran across this while watching a live stream on Twitch and as I came to find out that it takes a fair bit of Googling just to find the instructions(this has improved apparently). I then posted this screen shot to Miiverse only to find out that even people on Nintendo's own Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate community aren't really even aware of it. I figured I should try to help float this information to the top.
Fire up your Nintendo 3DS to get the Mario or Luigi outfits for your Pelico! Here's how you do it!
First go to your home cart.
Go talk to the Housekeeper on the right.
Select Downloadable Content.
Select confirm/continue on all of the prompts to get to the DLC menu.
Select Gift Area.
Select Item Packs.
And finally grab the Start Pack.
The Starter Pack contains:
Mega Potion x50
Honey x30
Mega Dash Juice x15
Well-done Steak x30
Max Potion x10
Lifepowder x20
Ancient Potion x5
Flash Bomb x30
Sonic Bomb x30
Pitfall Trap x15
Shock Trap x15
Super Mushroom x6
Now, go to the Market vendor or your item box and make sure you have 3 Large Barrels in your item box.
Go to "The Man" who is the Smithy and he'll let you craft the Mario or Luigi gear and the Invincible Hammer. One thing to note is that each of the two items required to make the outfit require 3 super mushrooms so you have to pick if you want the Mario outfit or the Luigi outfit or some mix of the two but you can't have both. Word on the street is that as more DLC gets released we'll have opportunities to get more Super Mushrooms and be able to have our choice of both outfits.
Here's to hoping they release Bowser as a monster via DLC. But not all cartoony. I want to see him as if he was a real Monster Hunter style monster and I want Bowser Armor as a result of his drops. That way my Palico can roll around as Mario while I roll around as Bowser. Get on that Capcom & Nintendo!
