Making a Plan

1
Locate Mushroom no. 2. Before anything else, you must know where your opponent is. Mushroom no. 2 can be found within Christmas Town in the Nightmare Before Christmas world (Jack's world).
- You can find the mushroom by going through the path at the right side of the carousel in front of Sandy Claw's house.
2
Place your Reflega on your shortcuts. You must have this in order to finish Mushroom no. 2's challenge.

3
Equip guard. This is also a necessity, although you can just spam Reflega if you're bad at guarding.

Part 2 of 2:
Beating Mushroom no. 2

1
Drive into Final form then Press ∆ to start the mini game. Mushroom no.2's challenge is for you to reflect all it's magic back to it and hit it at least 80 times.
2
Lock-on the mushroom as soon as the mini game starts. Then jump and press □, but don't use the analog stick. This will cause Sora to glide in place and use absolute guard.
3
Stay in this absolute guard position. All the magic attacks directed at you will be deflected by Sora's keyblades.
- Remember to adjust your position if the mushroom gets behind you; Sora's keyblades will only protect attacks from the front, so your side and back are wide open.
4
Use Reflega if you see multiple magic shots. Absolute guard won't be able to block this due to it being a multi-direction attack. Reflega will be able to block it and send all of it back to the mushroom.
5
Jump and press □ after using Reflega. It will cause you to fall when you use it.
- Remember to face the mushroom, or the keyblades won't be able to protect you.
6
Repeat this until you reach 80 points. It won't be hard as the keyblades will do most of the work for you.
