Bowser's Ally Buff significantly reducing damage to Mallow from Axem Black

Ally Buffs are a mechanic in Super Mario RPG for the Nintendo Switch. They are provided when a Timing Chain is maintained with Action Commands. Each character has their own Ally Buffs as follows:

• Mario: Action Gauge (2 points at 2~4 Chain, 4 points at 5+ Chain)
• Mallow: Magic Attack (+10% at 2 Chain (overriden by Shooting Star Shot's +12%), +20% at 3~4 Chain, +25% at 5 Chain)
• Geno: Physical Attack (+3% at 2 Chain, +6% at 3~4 Chain, +12% at 5+ Chain; all always overriden by Shooting Star Shot's +12%) and Speed (+10% at 2 Chain, +20% at 3~4 Chain, +24% at 5 Chain; all always overriden by Shooting Star Shot's +24%)
• Bowser: Physical Defense (+10% at 2 Chain, +20% at 3~4 Chain, +25% at 5 Chain)
• Peach: Magic Defense (+10% at 2 Chain, +20% at 3~4 Chain, +25% at 5 Chain)

A character's Ally Buffs are provided as long as the character is in the active party and not downed.

An action where mistiming happens and causes the Timing Chain to be broken as a result still receives the extra Action Gauge points and the relevant stat benefit of the Timing Chain, but the Timing Chain itself will be reset and have to be rebuilt from the ground up for any further stat benefits.
