Monkey Tricks are a set of battle abilities unique to Salsa in Mother 3. Some Monkey Tricks will attempt to inflict a Status ailment on the enemy. These tricks have a base success rate which gets modified by an enemy's base resistance; these stats interact according to the formula Actual Success Rate = (Base Success Rate) x (Enemy Weakness) / 100. For example, Apologize has a base success rate of 100, and a Sand Lizard has an Apologize weakness of 50. Apologize will therefore succeed against a Sand Lizard 50% of the time.

  • Apologize: Can solidify an enemy. Apologize has a base success rate of 100.
  • Make Laugh: Can cause an enemy to cheer, making it waste turns in battle. Make Laugh has a base success rate of 100. Most enemies are more susceptible to laughter than they are to apologizing.
  • Dance: Can cause a variety of in-battle effects. Effects include turning an enemy around, raising a random party member's defense, offense or speed, lowering a random enemy's defense, or solidifying an enemy. Dance has a base success rate of 100
  • Monkey Mimic: Imitates an enemy's attack, similar to Poo's Mirror ability in EarthBound. If Salsa is not attacked by a physical attack on the same turn that this is used, it will have no effect.
