Take 2, because I had forgotten about his berserk vulnerability (pointless in practice, but gotta go fast). Doesn't protect you from his final Ultima, though.
Safe method: equip Reflect Rings on everyone, cast Reraise on whoever, and sit back and watch as Magic Master kills himself. If you don't have Reraise…well, either you're REALLY masochistic or overleveled. Or both.

You need these to circumvent Little Chariot EXP gains on the Big Bridge. Simply controlling it and throwing Shuriken/spamming Sword Dance until it has low enough HP to catch it doesnt work in this version, since those now break the control.
Jackanapes has 666 HP and must be at or below 83 HP (at least 583 damage) for a successful catch. (Catch them with Bartz, Lenna and Galuf; you need Fariss agility for the actual Little Chariot fight, to cast Stop [Romeos Ballad] before they kill you. If you grinded it out, a Thief with Sing should work too.)
Original strat by @JuukaRock, modified to my preferences. (Also, I got a bit sloppy and/or reckless in this recording; youll definitely want to play it more cautiously.)
Thief w/!Control
Beastmaster w/!Hide
Ninja w/!Time
1. Thief Control (use Phoenix Down on each other as needed until Control succeeds); Thief and Beastmaster pass all turns
2. Ninja uses Haste on party (priority Ninja - Beastmaster - Thief), then Slow on Jackanapes until it succeeds (restore MP as needed)
3. Beastmaster hides instantly after being hasted
4. Ninja heals MP to full (Ether) and throws weapon, Jackanapes uses Moon Flute and berserks party; keep track of damage dealt by thrown weapons and berserk attacks
5. Jackanapes KOs both teammates, Beastmaster unhides and revives Thief first, Ninja second
6. Repeat steps 1-5 (adjust Haste priority as needed) until enough damage is dealt (use Potion on Jackanapes re: accidental KO issues)
7. As soon as Jackanapes ends a turn, Hasted Beastmaster unhides and catches it")

You get ice spam instead of the usual fire spam for obvious reasons.")

Kappapa!
Beware of Barrier Change if youre not going for the Imp/Sleep strat for whatever reason.")

Have everyone catch Objet dArts first. This way you guarantee the win (119% hit rate!), since theres always going to be at least one person active after the initial spell onslaught.")

Releasing an Objet dArt (find in the basement) works too.")

Also, the Crystal Orb (maximum MP +50%) fails to impress when you can steal Celestriads (MP cost = 1) from Galypdes in the Phoenix Cave or the Coliseum. (Though you have to deal with the Phoenix Down common steal…)")

Its the Divine Comedy, now available on your Super Famicom! (Then again, FFIV did it first.)
- Tier 1: Inferno (Hell) with Satan (Face/Visage) locked in ice.
- Tier 2: Purgatorio (Purgatory) with the various monsters representing the suffering and the penitent.
- Tier 3: Paradiso (Heaven) with the Virgin Mary (Lady, blatantly obvious in Japan where shes named Maria) in a Pietà pose (Rest). Remember to steal the Ragnarok and Ultima Weapons if youre playing the GBA version!
- Tier 4: Dante meeting God, who tells him the meaning of life (Kefka, who tells the protagonists that life is meaningless).
Also, another its suboptimal but fuck it lol disclaimer.")
