Any tips on beating last level?

I have been playing the last level forever. I cannot get above 80 - 82%. I have the highest marketing, super low prices, and have tried all different combinations of goons. Any tips?

It has been a while for me since I finished that one. I do remember that the last level just dragged on and it took a lot of patience. If I remember right you are trying to make the last guy go broke...
I didn't change my prices too much because you have to make profits to increase your assets and goons aren't very helpful at that point either. I found it was better to play nice and not try to overpower the people with bullies. It seemed to help me and drew more customers after time went by.being nice and entertaining them more. He tries all the dirty tactics and if you don't play his game the patrons respond better to you. Eventually you will start to steal his patrons and will increase your assets to surpass him enough to win.

Some things I've noticed that might be helpful:

*Setting your profits too low won't increase your popularity by that much. Customers seem to be happiest if I have a profit of 10 beans per potion, and adjust it with each change in supply cost.

*Spend money on advertising. Spend lots of money on advertising. Even if 80% of the town thinks you're the best shop in town, if you're not spending at least $150 on ads, your popularity will be at a standstill.

*The only goon that seems to have any reliable effect at the latter end of the last level is the giant baby. It will actually keep the customers out of the other store.

*The goal is "drive competitors out of business", but really, once you get rid of the first two, the goal should be "get a net worth greater than Sneersworth". Making a tiny profit dragged things on forever. Once I set out to make a profit and increase my net worth, I noticed that Sneersworth's net doesn't actually stop increasing (or declining very, very slowly) until your net passes his. Then his net starts dropping like a rock. Even if he's only getting two customers a round, I've had no success until my net passed his.

*Upgrade fully. You're not going anywhere without the top potion maker and entertainment, and you can't keep up with potion demands if you don't have the best warehouse.

*Don't run out of potions! I've found having enough on hand to make 70 of each works well for me - and I've still run out on occasion. Just keep the supplies on hand for that much, and "refill to yesterday's totals" each round. Don't forget to adjust your price after you do so! And don't rely on the Mole - it's a waste of time.

Good luck! Hope this helps!

my problem is the forecasts aren't high

I agree with Rina on most of what she said -- with the exception of the Mole. That one I thought was key for me. Also, there is one of the spells where you can refill during the day (it was the elephant with wings thingie). It is important to remember that you should have enough cash on hand that you can take the hit if you don't make as much profit. The pay-off comes the next day when you don't have to refill as much.

I love the Big Giant Baby!!!! It does work like a charm!!!

The first time I played this game the last level took forever - I don't think I actually finished it! I restarted and tried a different tactic, and I finished relatively quickly (over about 3 days of playing it about 1-2 hrs a day). The mole helped me a lot. I always set my price 5 beans lower than the competition and got my new spells way before the others - this gave me a big head start. Also - take out a loan (leave $1000 left for emergencies) and use it to buy the upgrades and advertising and really stock your shelves in the first few days... you will run out of money, but FGM will pay it off for you - once... so then I re-borrow again and do the same process - but as the money comes in, whatever is left after refilling supplies etc I use to pay off my loan in chunks - could be $200-$500 at a time... its always there to borrow if you get stuck again.
Persistence is the key! Don't think of beating Sneersworth straight up - concentrate on running one business out at a time... then Sneersworths day will come.
And the Giant baby - perfect for when you are making heaps of money per day ($10,000+)... stick a baby in front of sneersworth's... spend as much on advertising as you can and they will come to you!

What worked for me when I played this game is making sure that I don't owe anything to the loan shark and if i did, either the fairy godmother will pay back and I try not to borrow to much agin because she only pays him once. Have everything upgraded to the highest and to get the brainwashing ad. When you have that, you will have a long line and win. also if you want u can use the bomb spell to get even more. This works everytime for me.

I'm on the last level and am having trouble with the peasants getting impatient and not waiting. I lost 9 peasants yesterday. I've already shut down everybody but Sneersworth and he's almost gone. I have all the updates possible (storefront, in-store entertainment, octopus potion maker.) I don't know what to do. I have the baby by Sneersworth's door, 3 other goons and non-stop infomercials going.
How do I keep my peasants from walking out because of the long waiting time? Thanks
