Prepare for battle by stocking up on medicine items, such as HP and SP recovery items, a revive or two, and some status ailment cures for Freeze and Sleep if you feed the need. Next, you'll want to ensure your party is well-suited for the battle ahead. Don't take Fox, Skull, or Makoto, as their elemental attacks won't help you here. Although, if Skull is well-leveled you might want him for his Physical attacks.
You should take Noir with you for her Psy moves, then take a dedicated healer such as Sophie or Mona. You should also make sure Joker has some decent Personas on hand that are either Cure or Psy-based, and a healing Persona helps too. When you start the battle, buff your party and throw some debuffs Mariko's way.
There are a few important battle mechanics to know. Firstly, Mariko can use a Rage attack (where she turns orange/red), so be careful of her when she does this and in general, you will want to avoid standing directly in front of her at all times.
Secondly, Mariko can use a move called Dinnertime where she eats one of your party members. You can only retrieve them by stunning her, either by dropping one of the chandeliers on her with a Phantom Dash move 🤪or by using a Show Time attack.
Lastly, Mariko will use Freeze and Shiver, which will cast a blizzard over the arena and slow your movement. Oracle will direct you to manually switch on one of the four heaters in the corners of the room, the heater you need to change can be different each time. Head towards the heater and switch it on to remove the blizzard.
Avoid Mariko's attacks as best you can, and be careful of moves that inflict Freeze, Sleep, or Dizzy. Heal your party as needed and keep an eye on status ailments. Use Baton Pass to utilize all of your characters and increase the rate at which the Show Time gauge fills so you can use it whenever it is available. Be sure to equip a Psy or Curse-based Persona on Joker before using his Show Time attack.
