The Nintendo Costume System
Special note must be given to the exclusive costumes in Bayonetta 2, because they not only have star power behind them, but they also have special gameplay-enhancing attributes. You gain access to these costumes after you buy the Super Mirror 64-2 or Super Mirror 64 items from The Gates of Hell, and they’re worth it!
Mushroom Kingdom Princess & Sarasaland Princess
Outfits based on Princesses Peach and Daisy, respectively, of Super Mario Bros. fame.
Special Abilities
• Bowser Summon
Summon the feet and fists of Bowser, King of the Koopas, via Wicked Weaves.
Additional Effects:
Halos and Orbs will also become Coins, complete with accompanying collection sound.
Hero of Hyrule
Outfit based on Link from The Legend of Zelda series.
Special Abilities
• Hylian Shield
Comes with the built-in ability to parry attacks without having the Moon of Mahaa-Kalaa equipped. This costume is very useful because it frees up an accessory slot for Bayonetta that the Moon would normally occupy.
In addition, classic Zelda series jingles are played when you open chests or discover secret passages.
Additional Effects: Halos and Orbs will also become Rupees (with accompanying collection sound), and equipping the Shuraba transforms it into the Master Sword!
Galactic Bounty Hunter
Outfit based on Samus Aran from the Metroid series.
Special Abilities
• Morph Ball & Bombs
Instead of Panther Within, Bayonetta uses Samus’s Morph Ball. Jumping with the Morph Ball active allows the use of Bombs, which hit enemies for light damage.
• Screw Attack
Directional double jumps now become Screw Attacks, which can hit enemies for light damage.
• Arm Cannon
Samus’s classic Arm Cannon, which takes the place of Bayonetta’s gun attack, packs a punch and sends weaker enemies flying when powered up!
Star Mercenary
Outfit based on Fox McCloud from the Starfox series.
Special Ability
• Arwing
In addition to having authentic lock-on aesthetics, the Arwing takes the place of Bayonetta’s gun attack for super-fast laser shots!
Additional Effects:
Along with changing the sound effect for acquiring items, the Arwing replaces the jet fighters seen in Chapters I and XVI.
