She leaves and the striped red Toad runs up to you.
"Hey fella! You got us out of a bind! Peace brother!"
He exits and the mole runs up to you.
"It was mighty unpleasant in here. Thanks for helpin' us out."
She leaves and the twins (one pink, one blue) Toads run up to you.
"Thank you! Yeah, thanks alot! Be sure to stop by. Yeah, stop on by."
The grey Toad walks up to you.
"Thank you for freeing us. I've got to get back to work now, but stop by the inn! See ya there!"
He exits and the green Toad walks up to you.
"Elder: Ah, Mario. Thank you for saving our little town of Seaside. You exposed the fake townspeople, and gave up your star to save us! Please take this with our thanks."

After you have finished shopping go and talk to the Elder.
"Elder: Mario, if it's a star that you're looking for, I may be able to help you. At the far side of "Land's End" is a town made up of reformed monsters. A mouse came by the other day, and I overheard him boasting about a "star" of theirs. I don't know exactly where this town is located, but if you follow the road, you'll get there."
Exit Seaside Town and go to Land's End.
LAND'S END
As you enter Land's End, save. Jump in the Pot Cannon (enter it like a pipe) and when it flicks forward, press "B" you'll fling over to a yellow platform or over it to the ledge. From the yellow platform jump up (screen wise) when the platform is at its highest point while you hold "Y" you will uncover a Surprise Box with a Red Essence. ("Found a 'Red Essence'!".) Head up to the next section. Jump between the platform with the Pot Cannon and the higher ledge to uncover a floating yellow platform. Jump in the Pot Cannon and press "B" when it's about to rock forward. After you land on the platform or in the hole with the 3 chows, jump in the spot just below the chow hole to uncover another yellow platform. Jump back in to the Pot Cannon and if you time it right, you'll be flung up to the higher yellow platform. From here jump when it's below the Treasure Box to get a Frog Coin and jump to the highest ledge. Jump in the most western corner to uncover a Surprise Box with a Kerokero Cola ("Found a 'KerokeroCola'!".). Head to the next section. Jump across the platforms and fight Geckits up to the next section. If you fall off, enter the bottom Pot Cannon to blast yourself back up. Save in the next section and head right to where there are two blue flowers, Jump on the top one, hold "Y" and jump down to uncover a Surprise Box with a Frog Coin inside. Head back left and make your way up the ledges using the sinning flowers to get up to the next section. This is the Sky Bridge. Talk to the Shamen if you want to play. Make your way across the Sky Bridge and up to the next section. Talk to the mouse.
"Ahhh! Haven't been here in a while. I've been busy traveling around. Where are you heading? Is is Monstro Town by any chance?"
He leaves. Save and head to the next section. Go down the sand whirlpools that have the Shoguns in them. Finally, you'll be in a cave. Save, drop down and hit the Treasure Box. It's a "Invincibility Star" so begin running upwards into as many enemies as you can. Eventually you'll land in a cave full of Geckits. The effects of the star will be gone by now. Head left and jump over the stack of crates and talk to Shamen (you can just see). He'll sell you a star for 400 Coins. You can buy it to clear all the Geckits in the room for lots of Ex.pts. After your finished, head up to the next section. This is the Belome Temple. The Shamen on the trampoline will let you use the trampoline forever if you pay him 100 Coins but it's not needed yet. Head up to the next section and jump repetitively under the treasure box for 50 coins. Talk to the Shamen.
"Do you want your fortune told? I'll cost 50 coins."
Your fortune depends on the order you hit the Belome Statues tongues. If they're labelled 1, 2, & 3 from left to right, the combinations look like this:
("Found a 'Yoshi Cookie'!".)
Jump on the brick step that fell down, collect your fortune, and jump up to the next section. Go down the pipe and hit the Treasure Box or fight the enemy/enemies and head up to the next room. Hit the Box for 150 coins and jump up on top of it using the bricks on the left and jump to uncover a Surprise Box with a Frog Coin. Go down the stairs and jump in the corner just below the end of the stairs to uncover a Surprise Box with another Frog Coin. Head up, hit the treasure box for a Frog Coin, and head up to the next room. Hit the Belome Statues tongue to get another fortune. If it's "Mmm, I'm so hungry! Wish I had something to eat!", jump on the yellow elevator platform. If it's "Sorry, I'm not accepting visitors past my bedtime.", exit, re-enter, and hit the tongue again until you get the first message. After going down the elevator head up and down the pipe. Touch Belome.
"Hmm, you look so tasty. I think I'll just have a snack!"
You have to fight him.
Belome- 1200 HP
produces the following enemies:
Mario Clone- 200 HP
Mallow Clone- 150 HP
Geno Clone- 250 HP
Bowser Clone- 300 HP
Toadstool 2- 120 HP
Mario should use physical attacks. Geno should use Geno Boost once on Mario and afterwards, he should use Geno Beam when it's just Belome and Geno Blast when he has clones. Princess should use physical attacks when she's not using Group Hug or Items.
When he's about to clone someone.
"Belome: I never forget a taste! In fact, I can clone someone after just one slurp. Watch!"
He walks up to someone.
"You all LOOK delicous! But how do you TASTE?"
Spits him/her out.
"There we are!"
Then there is a clone. Only attack the clones with physical attacks when Belome is defeated!
"Oh, no, not again! I'm STARVING! Time to go home for dinner. Goodbye, boys and girls!"
You get 28 Exp.pts and 20 coins for beating Belome. Jump on the exclamation switch, head up to the next room, talk to the mouse.
"Oh! Hello again. That pipe is a shortcut to my home, Monstro Town. I'll see you there."
He heads down the pipe. Go down the pipe to go to Monstro Town.
MONSTRO TOWN
Head into the first door and talk to the mushroom person in there.
"Monstermama:
Oh, my! A traveller from afar. Welcome to Monstro Town, where many of our kind mingle. I'm the landlady, Monstermama."
Mario steps back and raises his hands up.
"Monstermama: A star, you say? Oh you're here to see OURstar! She's upstairs, so feel free to go and take a look for yourself."
Go upstairs. Talk to the sea star and it'll play the "Star Lullaby". While you're up there, talk to the Alley Rat to unlock a previously inaccesable part of Rose Town. Go back downstairs and talk to Monstermama.
"Monstermama:
So what do you think? Isn't our star adorable? She's so talented too! Folks come to see her from afar."
Mario steps back, raises his hands up, and then holds up two fingers.
"Monstermama: Starbees...? Oh, Star Piece! Nope, not familiar with 'em. So you came all the way out here to search for a Star Piece? It must be REALLY important. This is the last place on land. If you can't find it here... The only place left, is UP!"
Mario thinks and then jumps to her.
"Monstermama:
So! You wanna go there? Ha! You're an open book! Ok, here's what you need to do. There's a secret passage to the sky at...Bean Valley! But first you must scale the cliff beyond the desert to get there. Since you're such a nice guy, I'll introduce you to someone that can help you. Sky Troopas, I need you!"
Wait awhile. They rush in.
"Sergeant Flutter:
What was our flying time, troops?"
"Troops:
...8.52 seconds, Sergeant!"
Sergeant Flutter turns around and the two Troops get behind him.
"Sergeant Flutter:
Sky Troops reporting for duty, MA'AM! We're 0.52 seconds late! I hold myself personally accountable for the delay, Ma'am!"
"Monstermama:
Still as rigid as over about rules and regulations? No need to bother with the protocol around me, Sergeant. I've got a favor to ask of you."
"Sergeant Flutter:
Yess Ma'am! Anything for a civilian."
"Monstermama:
This fella here REALLY wants to get to Bean Valley. Could you help him scale the cliff?"
"Sergeant Flutter:
Understood, Ma'am. The orders are: "Get Mustache over the cliff"! We WILL succeed! We will now deploy ourselves to the cliff at Land's End. Troopas, keep a tight formation!"
They flutter for a while.
"We have lift off!"
They zoom out.
"Monstermama:
They're odd, but trustworthy! Good luck with your search!"
Exit the house but before you go to the Bean Valley, explore Monstro Town. Enter the next door down. This room has the Chow that awards you an Attack Scarf ("Got an 'Attack Scarf'!" and Mario does his victory dance.) if you do 30 Super Jumps and a Super Suit if you do 100 Super Jumps ("Got a 'Super Suit'!" and Mario does his victory dance.), consecutively.
"So, the "Super Jump" is your specialty right? Those multiple jumps of yours are pretty amazing! I heard that your record for consecutive jumps stands at *#*. (if you did 30 jumps) How DO you do it? Yeah, if you could do that, you'd deserve a prize! (or) According to my sources, it's impossible to jump more than 100 times. You've proven your point, so let's give this competition a rest."
Talk to the Thwomp seven times.
Before each time, he jumps up and pounds down.
Walk outside and collect the Temple Key that's now laying on the ground. ("Got the Temple Key".) The next room takes you to a battle with a boss called Culex but you must have the shiny stone to enter. (It's a good idea to save before fighting him.) Go into the next door.
The Goomba shop keeper's in the back.
"Yed, just a minute! I'll be there in a second."
He turns around, walks to you, and backs up a little.
"Oh my!"
Bowser comes out.
"Bowser:
Goomba, what are you doing here?"
The Goomba walks up.
"Goomba: Bowser... It's been ages, hasn't it? Sorry about going AOWL on you. I ran away because I was scared to fight Smithy. A lot has happened since then, but look how far I've come. I'm managing this store now. And look, here are my little ones. Come on, show your manners and greet Uncle Bowser."
The Triplets jump out from behind the counter.
"Tiplets:
Hi Uncle Bowser!"
"Although I can't fight for you, I still have some items you can use. Maybe you'll find it in your heart to forgive me if I help you get equipped!"
"Bowser: ........Don't worry. I'm not angry with you."
Mario turns to him.
"I've got new troops now, and we're going to reclaim my castle! You go on with your life here. I wish you the best."
Bowser goes back. Buy the Spiked Link and Courage Shell. Equip them. Here's a list of the inventory:
Spiked Link- 94
Courage Shell- 60
Mid Mushroom- 20
Maple Syrup- 30
Pick Me Up- 5
Able Juice- 4
Freshen Up- 50
You can buy dodgy Mushrooms from the Goomba Triplets for 4 coins each. The next door takes you to the Inn (well sort of). Walk up to the Amanita and press "A" to have a sleep and to compete in "Hide the Flag".
A Greaper shows up.
"Nice to meet ya! I'm Greaper."
One The Big Boo shows up.
"Hi, I'm The Big Boo."
Dry Bones shows up.
"And I'm Dry Bones..."
"We are the 3 "Musty Fears"!"
The Greaper turns to The Big Boo.
"Greaper:
He's sleeping."
Dry Bones turns to The Big Boo.
"Dry Bones:
Boy, he sure is."
"The Big Boo:
Check those bubbles coming out of his nose!"
They crowd around Mario.
"The Big Boo: Maybe he can still hear us while he's asleep? Hey you! We want to play a round of "Find the Flag"."
"Greaper: Right! We'll each hide a flage somewhere around the world."
"Dry Bones: Yeah. Find all three flags, and you'll get an awsome prize."
"3 Musty Fears:
We'll go and hide the flags. See you when we get back!"
They disappear and the Amanita walks up to Mario.
"They'll be back!"
The Greaper shows up.
"Greaper: I'm back! I had my flag... behind a wooden flower."
The Dry Bones returns.
"Dry Bones: I'm hooooome! My flag's under a green bed."
The Big Boo appears.
"The Big Boo: I'm back! You'll never guess my spot! It's between "O" and "A". Our flags are invisible, so search VERY carefully when you think you've found the spot!"
"3 Musty Fears:
Don't forget what we told you!"
Exit and head up the stairs to Jinx's Dojo. Jagger, one of Bowser's old troop, is inside.
"Who is it? Sorry, but the Sensei isn't in."
He turns around.
"Oh my gosh!"
Bowser comes out.
"Bowser:
Jagger?!"
Jagger walks up.
"Jagger: Bowser! I haven't seen you for so long. I've been studying here at the dojo under the Sensei "Jinx" because... To tell the truth, I... I knew I couldn't beat Smithy. That's why I'm here now. Someday I'm going to return and make you proud!"
Talk to him to compete in the Dojo Tournament.
"Bowser: ....Don't worry about me."
Mario turns to him.
"I've got new Troops now, and we're going to take back my castle. You stick to your guns! Train like there's no tomarrow!"
Exit the dojo and save by dropping into the hole in the bottom right corner of town. Head into the most right door, jump in the bottom left corner (behind the flower bush) to uncover a Surprise Box with a Frog Coin. Head up to exit Monstro Town and go to the Tadpole Pond.
TADPOLE POND
Play the Star Lullaby (La Ti Do Re So Do Re Mi) to Toadofsky to get the Soprano Card. ("Received a 'Soprano Card' ".) Once you play, he'll ask you to play your own song. Once you enter that song he'll play all of the songs you played into a opus, exit, and go to back to Monstro Town.
MONSTRO TOWN
Head down, left and jump on the trampoline.
LAND'S END
Go to the second Belome Statue and hit its tongue. (You want, "Sorry, I'm not accepting visitors past my bedtime".) When you get the message, head down the elevator, go right, and into the Golden Belome.
"That key you have there looks pretty tasty."
Give him the Temple Key. Collect the Max Mushroom ("Found a 'Max Mushroom'!".), Royal Syrup ("Found a 'Royal Syrup'!".), Fire Bomb ("Found a 'Fire Bomb'!".), 8 Frog Coins, and 4 Flowers. Go to the first Trampoline. Talk to the Shamen.
"For 100 coins, this short cut will get you back to the surface."
Jump on the Trampoline. You'll emerge in the sand section. Head up.
They fly into position.
"Sergeant Flutter: Ten-hut! All troops in positions! Mario, your mission is to scale the cliff, by jumping shell to shell."
They pop their heads into their shells in the backwards order you should jump on them. Now you can "Scale the Cliff". Once you have scaled the cliff:
"Sergeant Flutter:
Mission accomplished!
Elasped time is *#*'*#*"*#*.
Not bad for a civilian!"
Head up to exit Land's End and go to the newly opened Bean Valley.
BEAN VALLEY
Enter the right pipe, head directly left (screen wise) until you hit the foliage, and jump to uncover a Surprise Box with a Frog Coin. Go down the next pipe, enter the pipe below, and hit the Treasure Box for a Flower. Go back down the pipe and head left to the next section.

Jump on it and hit the box to get a Frog Coin. Head down the pipe and jump on the other trampoline to exit the vault.
Once you have entered all the pipes, save, and head up to the next section. The Shy Away is watering another Piranha Plant. Switch Geno with Mallow and equip the Wake Up Pin onto Mallow and the Trueform Pin onto Toadstool. Jump on the Piranha Plant to fight the Megasmilax and co.

"Shy Away: Look what you did! Smilax's been whacked."
"Shy Away:
Oooh, I'm going to get it! Queen Valentina told me to keep everyone out of Nimbus Land. What should I do?"
"Shy Away: ................................ I know, I'll run away!"
It will fly away dropping a note.
"Hmm?! What's this? It's a 'Seed'."
"Pick up a 'Seed'!"
Go down the pipe. Hit the Brick Block and an old skool beanstalk will grow.
"Wow! Did you see that? It's a magical beanstalk! Hit the block once more to climb it."
Hit the block. Read the sign to learn how to climb the vines.
" 'How to climb the vines'
The vines are positioned from the bottom left to the top right. When you jump, you will be able to desengage yourself from the vine. Nimbus. Dept. of Transportation."
Climb from vine to vine, collecting the Coins and a Frog Coin on the way to the next section. Climb the red vine to the top and hit the Treasure Box up there to get a Flower.

Hit the two Treasure Boxes for a Frog Coin and Rare Scarf and drop down the top hole. Hit the next two Boxes for 2 Flowers and drop down to Nimbus Land.
NIMBUS LAND
Talk to the guards and jump on the trampoline. You can go down the bottom hole if you wish to collect any coins you would have missed because of the route you took, but anyways jump on the smiley trampoline to go to the village area of Nimbus Land.
You see the citizens.
"All right, everyone! Listen up!"
The Birdies in front of the castle part and Valentina walks out.
"Valentina:
SHUDDAP!!!"
Everyone turns towards her.
"Valentina: King Nimbus' condition is growing worse... This means we'll be losing... ...our magnificient ruler..."
Everyone talks and then turns to her.
"Valentina: BUT! It just so happens that I found the missing Prince! Prince Mallow, that is!"
She walks out a little and to the side.
"Valentina: Prince Mallow... Please...Sir...Prince?"
She turns to the people and back again.
"...GET OVER HERE!!"
People start talking but they turn back when she turns to them.
"Valentina: Well, well... It seems that our little prince has a mild case of stage fright. Excuse me...Ha ha ha..."
She fans herself while laughing and then goes into the castle.
"(Come ON! Make it snappy!)"
"(What?! You can't get through? Well, just LOOK at you, tubby!)"
She pushes Dodo out.
"Valentina: Introducing... ...Prince Mallow!"
A citizen steps up.
"Welcome back! Prince Mallow!"
He steps back and a lady steps up.
"My, you've...er...filled out a bit, Prince Mallow!"
She steps back and a man steps up.
"You're looking fit, Prince!"
Dodo turns his head to Valentina.
"Valentina: Yes...? What is it, dear?..."
She steps back.
"WHAT?! You're asking ME to...?"
She turns around.
"Gracious! You're serious, aren't you? Why, I don't know what to say!"
She turns back around.
"Valentina:
Dear me............"
She turns to the people.
"I've made my decision... At the request of the Prince, I agree to become his queen."
She fans herself while laughing.
"(Queen... Valentina...Ooh! It just makes me SHIVER!!)"
She stops.
"Valentina: Well, that's that! Back to your business, everyone!"
She turns to Dodo.
"(Hurry it up, will ya?!)"
She jumps and Dodo walks back into the castle while everyone goes back to their business. Back at Mario, Mallow comes out.
"Mallow: Can you believe it?! What a coincidence! There's a prince with the same name as ME!"
Mario nods.
"Don't we have anything better to do than hand around HERE? Come on, let's go and find the rest of the Star Pieces!!"
He goes back. Head into the Item Shop on your left. Jump on the stack of boxes behind the shopkeeper to the highest point, move to the left side, and jump right towards the shopkeeper.

"That's odd... It smells like pepper in her! Probably just my imagination!"
"Gaz:
Geno, come on, you can do it!"
"When you hear laughter, you know it's a good dream!"
"Boing, boing, boing! I'm trying really hard, so Mario, you have to try hard, too. I'm with you all the way!"
"When you hear laughter, you know it's a good dream!"
"It looked like you had a nightmare. Is everything okay?"
"Yoshi:
(Mario! Good luck!)"
"When you hear laughter, you know it's a good dream!"
"Toad: Ya! Ya!"
He stops.
"Mario... I've kept this a secret until now, but...I'm really a...a..."
He turns into a Greaper.
"a MONSTER!!!"
Mario wakes up and when you jump out of bed, Mario sees Toad. Mario runs to the left corner and crouches, shaking all the while.
"Toad: Mario!"
Toad comes over.
"Are you all right?"
Mario gets up and turns to Toad. He backs up a little but Toad scoots up.
"You were kicking up a sweat... Here, drink this and blow those bad guys away."
You get a Red Essence. ("Got a 'Red Essence'!".)
"I guess this is goodbye."
He leaves.
"It looked like you had a nightmare. Is everything okay?"
Exit and head to the house in the top left corner of Nimbus Land. This is Garro's House, once inside go look at the statue of Mallow.
Mallow comes out.
"Mallow:
Hey look! It's ME!"
Garro walks up to Mallow.
"Garro: Oh, you mean THAT? That's King Nimbus when he was a ...young lad."
He steps closer.
" ...!...! Huh? ...What the...?! WHO are YOU...?!"
"Mallow: Hello. My name is Mallow."
Mario steps up and turns to Mallow.
"And this is my friend, Mario."
"Garro: Mallow... So it IS YOU, my boy! It's been so long. My, you've become a splendid young prince!"
Mallow jumps, high into the air and comes back down, shocked. He regains self-control.
"Mallow: WHAT?! I'm...I'm really a...prince?!"
Mario walks up to Garro and nods. He jumps into the air. Then Mario falls face down as Mallow. He gets up as Mario, turns into Frogfucius and jumps. Then he backs up as Mario, turns into Mallow, and puts his hands into the air. He turns back into Mario, runs to the other side, turns into Frogfucius, and talks. He becomes Mario, then Mallow, and nods. Back as Mario, he moves back and turns into Frogfucius. He talks and turns around. He turns into Mario, scoots up, turns into Mallow, and jumps back in surprise. He turns around, hangs his head for a while, turns back around, and walks up to Garro as Mario. He nods his head.
"Garro: Yes indeed! I understand. So! You were raised by Frogfucius!"
Mario scoots left, to Mallow, and Garro turns to Mallow.
"There's no question about it! You ARE, WITHOUT A DOUBT... Prince Mallow."
Mallow nods, turns to Mario, and smiles.
"Mallow: Mario! Look at me! I'm a prince!"
Mario bows and they turn to Garro.
"Garro: I knew Valentina was up to SOMETHING! I just didn't know what... That must mean that the King really ISN'T gravely ill...!"
Mallow gets mad.
"Mallow: Then let's go inside the castle and save my mother and father!"
Mallow races out.
"Hey! Who're YOU?!... You can't just barge in here!"
Mallow slowly walks back to Garro and cries a little. Garro turns around and then back.
"Garro: ...Wait! I have an excellent idea. Come over here..."
He walks to his stove and Mallow goes back. Go infront of Garro.
"Garro: Are you ready?"
"Okay, just say when."
Talk to him again, when you're ready and answer yes.
Mario nods.
"Just stay still for a little while, okay? It won't take long."
He turns to the pitcher and back to Mario. He starts walking around Mario and then pops up at Mairo's sides. Slowly, Mario becomes golden.
"Garro:
THERE!"
Mario starts to walk and Garro jumps.
" Hey, don't move!"
Mario turns to him.
"You're going to be a "statue" for a while, okay?"
Mario jumps up.
" Let's get going now."
Garro drags him to a Valentina statue. Garro gets a Valentina statue, starts heading out, and to the main gate where he stops.
"Garro: I'm delivering Valentina's latest order to her."
"You may enter."
One Birdie moves aside. Garro walks up but is stopped.
" Halt! Who goes there?"
The Birdie moves to Mario.
"Hey, this doesn't look like Valentina at all!"
It starts poking Mario but Garro walks up.
"Garro: Oh?! That's because this is a statue of Valentina's nephew, Mari..Mariotta! Okay?!"
The Birdie turns to him, back to Mario, and him again.
" Uh...okay. Proceed."
Garro moves the statue inside and stops after a while. He walks to Mario.
"Garro: Phew, that was close... Didn't think we could get through THAT ONE. There IS no such person named Mariotta. Ha!"
He jumps in surprise and walks forward a bit.
"O, ho, ho, ho!!"
Valentina walks up to them.
"Valentina: Oh! Now THIS is lovely! My beauty simply shines forth like the sun! Only YOU can make something THIS stunning!"
"Garro: Thank you, your majesty. I'll be on my way now..."
He starts walking out but stops.
"Valentina:
Halt!"
Valentina walks up to Mario.
"What, may I ask is THIS ugly thing?"
She turns to Garro who turns away and back.
"That's my latest masterpiece. I...I created it just for YOU... It's called... "A Plumber's Lament"."
He moves to Mario.
"Observe... the thick mustache...covering the sad, innocent smile of a simple fool..."
He turns Mario up 45º and faces Valentina, himself.
"And the sideburns... conveying his blue collar roots."
He turns Mario back and walks to Valentina's side.
"And the legs...well defined... Strong. The legs of the masses! Is it to your liking?"
Valentina steps forward and back.
"Valentina: Hmmm... I consider myself something of an art buff! And I've got to say... This is spectacular!!"
She turns to Garro.
"Garro...only YOU could have created sculptures with such gentle beauty and...raw power!"
She fans herself while laughing.
"Garro: Thank you, your majesty. I'll be on my way now..."
He leaves. She stops fanning and turns to Mario.
"Valentina: ... ...SPECTACULAR!!"
She turns up.
" .........DODO!!"
Dodo walks in and she walks up to hime.
" Step on it!"
She jumps and leaves. He watches her leave and pecks one of her statues of her on a stand. Then he gets the new statues, moves them out, puts the onto stands, and leaves. Head left, save, and try to go through the left door.
"DODO!"
Mario jumps back in surprise and rushes to the left side of the door.
"Valentina: Did you display the statues properly?"
"Valentina: Fine! Now polish them to a fine luster and make them a tribute to my beauty!"
"Valentina: Pay attention! Hurry up, and DON'T let me catch you dosing again."
Mario jumps back in surprise, runs to his stand, and jumps onto it.
"Uh oh... Dodo'd in a pretty bad mood. Keep up your statue disguise and jump to avoid getting pecked. Get ready because he's coming this way!
Jump just before each pecks, five in total. If you don't:
You have to battle him if you and when you come out of battle, your paint's off.
When he runs off, head left. There'll be a Feather on the ground, if you avoided detection. ("Pick up a 'Feather'.".) Save and head left.
Mario jumps onto a pedestal. Two Birdies fly in and stop, facing each other, by Mario.
"I hate being a guard! Valentina only gives us the most boring jobs to do!!"
"But I guess this beats Dodo's job."
The right one turns to Mario.
"Dodo has to polish Valentina's statues EVERY single day!"
One of starts poking Mario. The other flies to Mario's other side and does the same. Mario jumps into the air and comes back down, with no paint on. "Ha! Here's how I'd do it."
They turn to each other.
"hey, tell me something, do statues...move?"
"No. Statues don't move."
They turn back.
"Then...explain...THIS!"
They back up.
"It's... one of those hi-tech,... er,...life-like.. realistic ones. ...Let's get outta here."
They leave. Go to the next room. (If you get in a fight that includes (an) Orbison(s), defeat it / them first, as there Recovery spells can cause problems. Jump down and hit the box for a Flower. Head down, right, up, and left to get back to that room. Head up to the next room. Hit the box ahead for a Flower. If your low on HP go down the bottom right door, as the room leads to a Treasure Box with a "Recovery Mushroom". Otherwise, head into the top left door and follow it up into a room with stairs. After defeating the Jawful, jump where he's standing to uncover a Surprise Box with a Frog Coin. (When you attack Jawful: "Jawful's awake now!".) From below the Surprise Box, head directly down (screen wise), follow the hidden path to a dead end, and jump to uncover a Surprise Box with a Frog Coin. Head right to the next room. You have found all the capture people of Nimbus Land. Talk to the guy on the far left.
"I used to be a guard here, until Valentina snatched away all my keys...and gave me the boot. Guess I won't be needing this master key anymore... Would you like it?"
("Got 'Castle Key 1'!".)
Talk to him again.
"So...you don't want it, huh?"
And again.
"So...you don't want it, huh?"
"Wait! Don't say that!"
Mallow comes out.
"Mallow: To be honest, we really REALLY need it!"
"Oh, yeah?"
He turns to Mario and back.
"But HE said you didn't need it."
Mallow turns to you and puts on a sad face.
"Mallow: Oh, I'm sorry. You'll have to excuse him, he...he's a little shaken up right now."
Mallow turns to Mario. Mario turns, raises his hands, and turns back. The man turns to Mario.
"...Oh...Okay...I guess..."
"All right, here you go! Just don't tell me what you're gonna do with it, okay?"
("Got 'Castle Key 1'!".)
He turns back to Mallow.
"Mallow: Thank you! We owe you one!"
Mallow goes back.
Talk to the man wearing blue.
" Go on, take this..."
You get a Flower Jar. ("Got a 'Flower Jar'!".) Head left, up the stairs, and down twice to get to back to the hallway. Fight the Heavy Troopa, press A to open the middle door, and head up. The Shy Away in the next room is watering a spotted pink egg.
"Shy Away: La dee dah... Here you go, big eggie! I'll give ya plenty of nutrients so you'll grow up to be big and strong!"
"Oh, oh, oh... Mario's already here... He's a fast one, he is..."
It flies to the door, tries to open it, and turns around.
"Oh, oh, oh... It won't open... it's locked!"
"???: Ha ha ha ha."
Walk up to the egg, talk to it.
"???: I'm so...lonely. Will you play with me?"
You have to battle it.
Shelly- 500 HP
Birdo- 777 HP
produces, if you defend:
Eggbert- 10 HP
Attack Shelly, a spotted red egg. It crackes. Do this until the shell breaks open and Birdo pops out. (During this time, it won't attack.)
"Birdo: Hello(heart)! I'm Birdo."
Once Birdo appears, use physical attacks on her while Princess uses Group Hug occasionally.
"Birdo: Tee, hee! Ouch, you're hurting me! Now it's my turn! Get it while it's hot!"
(If you defend the eggs that Birdo shots at you Eggberts will surround Birdo and if you attack Eggberts, they'll explode causing 80 HP worth of damage. This isn't practical though cause you could have caused more damage by attacking those turns.) Eventually Birdo will give.
"Birdo: Oh, I'm never gonna let ya go. You're just too...CUTE!"
You get 20 Ex.Pts and 30 coins.
It spits out the Castle Key 2. Get it. ("Got 'Castle Key 2'!".) Open the door behind the egg by pressing "A" and head up. Fight the Pinwheel immediately or it'll blow you off the platform. Jump on the Treasure Box and jump to uncover a Surprise Box with a Frog Coin. (The Treasure Box you are standing on has a Flower in it but you'll have to drop down to get it which means backtracking back to this room after.) Head up to the next room.
"This is locked too..."
"Mallow: Mario."
Mallow comes out.
"Look! There's a note. Let's read it."
"King Nimbus is resting in bed. Absolutely NO RUNNING in the halls. Queen Valentina."
Mallow jumps up.
"Mallow: This can only mean that my mom and dad are here!"
He turns sad.
"Oh, but it's locked!"
"King Nimbus is resting in bed. Absolutely NO RUNNING in the hall. Queen Valentina."
"Mallow: Mario!"
Mallow comes out.
"Mallow: This can only mean that my mom and dad are here!"
He puts his hand on the foor. " Hey, wait a sec..."
He turns back, sadly.
" It won't open...it's locked."
" Leave it to me!"
Bowser comes out.
"Bowser: Look like it's up to me to get us out of yet another jam. Feast your eyes on this show of brains...and brawn!"
He gets infront of the door.
" STAND BACK!"
Mallow shocked, moves to the side by Mario. Bowser scoots back, clicks his fingers and charges, but...Mallow steps forward.
"Mallow:
WAIT! Wait a minute!"
Bowser turns and cries. Mallow walks to Mario.
"If my dad's really beridden, we shouldn't make so much noise. ...We need another plan..."
He nods.
"I guess we should find Valentina and force the truth out of her!"
Mario nods and steps up so Mallow goes back.
"Bowser:
But, what about the door?..."
He turns around, back around, around again, and gets mad.
"Bowser: Listen YOU! Never EVER talk to the leader of the Koopa Troop like that! Ooh, I hate... THAT! I'll ignore it this time... but DON'T let it happen agian."
He goes back.
"Shy Away:
Queen Valentina..."
The Shy Away flies in and stops in front of Mario. Mario raises his hands to the sky but it flies away.
"Shy Away:
Queen Valentina..."
Head up to the next room. Fight the Heavy Troopa and go in the next room.
The Shy Away flies to Valentina.
"Shy Away:
Queen Valentina... That Mario creature who beat up Smilax is here..."
"Valentina: Mario...?! What...does a "Mario" look like?"
"Shy Away: Well...it has a bushy mustache, long sideburns, and, uh, a pair of... mean looking legs...!"
She turns around.
"Valentina: Hmmm... I have a feeling I've seen this "Mario" before..."
The "statue" flashes infront of her, does its victory sign, and disappears.
"Valentina: ...Wait! Yes! It was that statue that Garro just delivered...!"
Shy Away flies back and forth and stops.
"Shy Away: What, what, what are we gonna do? What are we GONNA DO, VALENTINA?"
"Valentina: Well, we certianly aren't going to listen to youre pointless chatter. Frankly speaking, I'm not going to worry. Without this key, the King can't go ANYWHERE!"
She fans herself while laughing. Dodo looks side to side, stops, walks up to Valentina, and pecks her. She turns to him and jumps.
"Valentina:
Hush..."
She turns back and keeps on fanning. Dodo pecks her again.
"Valentina:
I SAID SHUT UP, ALREADY!"
Dodo turns his head, Valentina turns to the front, the Shy Away turns around, and you see Mario.
"Valentina: What the...?! That...that isn't a STATUE!! That's...Mario!!!"
Mallow comes out.
"Mallow: VALENTINA!! Hand over the KEY!!, NOW!"
He runs up but falls. Mario walks to him. They defend.
" Ack!"
They get up and the Shy Away flies to Dodo's side while Valentina steps up.
"Valentina: How utterly rude! And who in blazes are YOU anyway?!"
Mallow's mad.
"Mallow: Me? I'm the REAL prince, that's who!"
"Valentina: Brat! And how DARE you listen in on a private conversation...!"
Mario and Mallow turn around. Mallow frowns.
"Mallow: Private? PRIVATE?! Everyone in a 10 mile radius could hear you!"
Mario nods and they turn back around.
"Valentina: Harrumph! If you're going to be THIS rude, I'm simply going to leave."
She walks to the door with Shy Away and Dodo watching.
" So long...(chumps)!"
She leaves. "Shy Away: Eh? Hey! Valentina ran away..."
It flies away.
"I shall fly the coop, too..."
Dodo turns around, backs up, falls by the door, and exits.
"Mallow: Uh...I...I think we kind of missed the boat here..."
He turns to the door and gets mad.
"So......we'd better get moving too!! C'mon, let's get 'em!!"
Mario steps up so Mallow can go back. Head up to the next room, save, switch Bowser with Princes, and put him in the middle slot. Head up through the passages, defeating Bluebirds until you see a shadow on the floor. Stand under the shadow, jump to uncover a hidden platform, jump on the platform, jump to hit the Treasure Box, and you'll get an "Invincibility Star". Run ahead, into the Blue Birds and Dodo. Head up and run off the edge of the castle. Once you land near the hot spring guards, jump on the trampoline and heal everyone (especially Bowser). Jump on the trampoline.
Valentina is walking towards the castle. She stops in front of a man.
"Queen Valentina!"
A crowd surrounds her.
"Queen Valentina, is the king showing any improvement?"
She turns around.
"And how is his wife, the old queen?"
She turns right.
"And Tubby..er, Prince Mallow... where is he hiding these days?"
She turns around and up.
"Know what I think? I think..."
She turns around and right.
"Get outta here! The truth is..."
She turns around, down, up, and right.
"Get outta here! The truth is..."
She turns.
"Know what I think? I think..."
She turns to the front.
"Valentina:
Arggghh!!!"
She jumps up and the citizens fly back.
"Pipe DOWN!! All of you!!"
"I have better things to do than to listen to your half-wit opinions! And LOOK...! While I've been wasting my time listening to your endless chatter..."
She turns around and so do the citizens. Mario jumps into the screen.
" Mario has managed to find me!"
Mario walks up and puts his hands in the air.
She turns around and the citizens do too.
"Valentina:
Dodo!! DODO!!"
She turns around.
"Ooh! That bird has a permanent brain cramp!!"
She turns around.
"Dodo! Do you hear me?! Get over here NOW! I need some help...entertaining Mario!"
She turns around.
"So MOVE IT!! Come here NOW!"
Mario attacks her. You'll have to fight her.
"Valentina: Dodo! DODO! Come herE this minute!"
Dodo comes.
"Don't just sit there. HELP ME!"
He tries flying but fails so he walks up to the middle character and takes them to a one on one battle.
Dodo- 1000 HP
Use Poison Gas for the first turn and use Spiked Link after that. He flies away after he's killed.
Now you fight Valentina (but without your middle player).
Valentina- 2000 HP
Use physical attacks until she has a little more than 1000 HP.
"Valentina: Dodo?! How could you lose already? Well, come on! Get over here!"
Bowser comes too. Dodo has about 500 HP. Get Mario and Bowser to use physical attacks on Valentina while Mallow heals and uses items.
Her boobs wobble.
"Valentina: I don't believe this!"
Dodo flutters and she blows a kiss.
"This show's over, folks! Dodo...! Let's get outta here!! Well, everyone... Until we meet again!"
Dodo flies onto her head.
"Mwa, ha, ha, ha, ha..."
They fly away giving you 40 Ex.pts and 200 coins.
Mallow comes out.
"Mallow: Great... They're gone..."
Mario nods. Mallow nods, gets mad, and turns to Mario.
"Hurry! Let's go after her! I KNOW she has the key!!"
The key falls down onto his head. He falls, gets up, and defends.
" Ack!"
Mario looks towards the key.
"Mallow: Owwww..."
Mallow stops defending and jumps back when he sees the key.
" Huh?!... Mario! Look!"
He walks up and gets the key. He runs into the castle. After a while, Mario thinks and gets out an umbrella... It begins to rain. It stops, he puts up the umbrella, and Mallow comes out. Mario jumps up and follows him into the castle. They walk up to the King and Queen.
"Mallow: Mom... Dad... I'd like you to meet Mario..."
He turns to Mario.
"...and my other travel companions!"
Everyone comes out, Mallow turns back, and the king steps up.
"King Nimbus: I say! How can we ever thank you enough! I'm Mallow's father...King Nimbus."
The queen steps up.
"Queen Nimbus: Hello, everyone. Thank you so much for looking after my dear child."
She steps back.
"Mallow:
Allow me to introduce everyone!"
He turns to his left and back.
"This...is Princess Toadstool from Mushroom Kingdom..."
She curtsies and the King steps up.
"King Nimbus: Ah! I've heard so much about you! May I... have your autograph?"
The Queen steps up.
"Queen Nimbus:
Don't embarrass junior, dear!!"
He turns to her and she steps back.
"King Nimbus: Oh! Nevermind..."
He steps to his right (screen's left).
"And, who is this gentleman here?"
Mallow turns left.
"Mallow: THIS....... IS Mario!! He helped me from the start!"
"King Nimbus: I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart."
Mario nods and the King jumps.
"......You don't mean... THE Mario?! Jumping Mario?! Autograph, please!"
The Queen shakes side to side.
"Queen Nimbus:
That's quite enough, dear..."
The King turns to the Queen and back.
"King Nimbus: Okay, okay! Then... how about showing me just a little jump? A tiny hop will do!"
So jump.
Mario turns to the party, raises his hands, and the party raises their hands.
"King Nimbus: Uh!...FANTASTIC! (Show me again later...) Eh hem. And WHO do we have over here?"
"Mallow: This is Bowser, leader of the Koopa Troop."
Bowser raises his hands.
"king Nimbus: Oh! Another famous person! This is just too much! I MUST have YOUR autograph!"
The Queen steps up.
"Queen Nimbus: Dear...behave yourself, please!"
The King turns around.
"King Nimbus: No? Not even a little scribble? Okay, okay..."
He turns around and moves to his left.
"King Nimbus: Yes, yes. I'm forgetting my manners...Well... ...Who do we have over here?"
"Mallow: This is Geno, who I told you about before."
Geno nods.
"King Nimbus: Oh! Yes! That story about the Star Street! How awful!"
"Geno:
That's...Star Road..."
The Queen steps up to the King's side.
"Queen Nimbus: By the way, a little before Valentina took over, a large star fell into the volcano!"
The party jumps back in surprise and the King turns to the Queen.
"King Nimbus: Hmm, but the dreaded "Czar Dragon" inhabits the volcano. It's going to be tough getting a star out of there!"
He turns back.
"Hmmm...perhaps all of you working together COULD handle that beast..."
He turns around and walks.
"Why, when I was yound, I..."
The Queen steps up.
"Queen Nimbus: Yes, dear... Now, once at the volcano, find Hinopio. He'll be able to help you."
She walks to Mallow.
"Queen Nimbus: You be careful, Mallow!"
Mallow's top half jumps up.
"Mallow: Okay, mom! But I probably won't come back until we find the star!"
Everyone goes back but Mallow. The King faces the front. The Queen walks to his side and faces front. Mallow goes back. Head down twice, go into the room King and Queen Nimbus were being held in, and talk to the guard.
"The King gave me another job as a guard."
Mallow comes out.
"...Prince Mallow!"
Mallow nods.
"Mallow: Thank you so much! We were able to rescue my father with the key you gave us."
The guard turns around.
"Don't mention it..."
He turns back.
"Besides, it was YOU, who actually rescued him!"
"Mallow:
Good luck in the future!"
" You too!"
Mallow goes back but stops... "Prince!"
Mallow turns to the guard. The guard turns around and back.
"Here, this is from me. Please take it."
He'll give you a Flower Jar. ("Got a 'Flower Jar'!".)
Mallow raises his hands and goes back. Head down to the room with 3 doors that was before Birdo. Jump in the top left corner, near the bird cage, and you'll uncover a Surprise Box with a Frog Coin. Exit the castle and head into the house in the top right corner of Nimbus Land. You will find Croco. Talk to him.
"Croco: Say, hey! We meet AGAIN! Dis here land is RICH! It's got tons of loot, and I want it all! But heym I'm not sweatin'! This device'll tell me where the treasures are hidden! The rest of 'em are mine! ALL MINE!! Adios, fools!"
He leave but crashes into a wall, dropping a ring. He runs out the door. Pick it the ring. ("Found a 'Singal Ring'! If you equip it, it'll ring at the location of a hidden treasure." Exit the house, walk directly down (screen wise), and follow the hidden path to the Shy Away and touch it.
"Shy Away: Oh Oh... ...Busted... What to do, what to do?"
It turns around and back.
"I'll give you this "Fertilizer" if you let me go~......OK?"
"Received 'Fertilizer'"
It flies away. Go down the hole, jump on the warp trampoline to exit Nimbus Land, and go to Rose Town.
ROSE TOWN
Head up into the newly opened section and enter the house. (If there isn't one, go to Monstro Town and talk to the Alley Rat on the second floor of Monstermama's house.) Talk to the Gardener and give him the Seed and Fertilizer.
"Gardener: Hi, I'm the gardener. See that huge planter? I've spent many years seeking the legendary "Seed" and "Fertilizer" to fill it with, but had no luck. Sugh...if I could only find them."
He jumps up.
"Gardener: Incredible! I can't believe it! It's the legendary "Seed" I've read about in the ancient gardening texts. These are so rare! Can you even begin to comprehend what a huge discovery this is? I've spent my whole life searching for one! It's too much, I tell ya!"
Mario walks back, spins, and falls, shaking the whole house.
"Gardener: Hey! I haven't finished yet."
Mario gets up and faces him.
"Gardener: Well, tht's my story. Say...will you give me the "Seed"?"
"Gardener: I finally have it! This is extraordinary!"
He jumps up.
"Gardener: Egads! Do you know what you have there? That fertilizer comes form the Shy Away clan, famous for its miraculous feats of gardening. I looked for it beyond the cliffs, even tried Bean Valley, but failed. I've traveled around the world and waited a lifetime for some of that fertilizer you've got there!"
Mario spins and falls, shaking the whole house.
"Gardener: Short attention span?"
Mario gets up.
"Gardener: Yes, you might say I have fertilizer on the brain. Will you give it to me?"
(if he has the Seed) - "Gardener: Oh thank you! I finally have both the "Seed" and the "Fertilizer". I'll try them out right away."
(if he doesn't have the Seed) - "Gardener: I'd be so happy if I only had the "Seed"! I'm sooo disappointed."
Talk to him again if you said no anytime.
(if you didn't give him the Seed) - "Gardener: You changed your mind."
(if you didn't give him the Seed) - "May I have the fertilizer?"
(if you gave him the Seed) - "Gardener: Well, Mario? Will you give me the fertilizer?"
(when he has both) - He jumps onto the table, by the pot.
"Gardener: I'll plant the seed..."
Mairo walks to the left side of the pot.
"Gardener: Then give it fertilizer."
The screen centers on the Gardener.
"Gardener: ...... Nothing's happening."
Out shoots a shoot. The Gardener jumps off the table. Mario jumps back in surprise and again as the plant grows bigger.
"Gardener: W...wow!"
Mario calms down and the Gardener jumps.
"Gardener: This is amazing!"
He begins to run around in a circle.
"Gardener: This is unreal! This is just like winning the lottery, only without the taxes! I mean, this is like falling out of an airplane without a parachute, and hitting a gaggle of geese in mid-air who break your fall. Wait until my buddies over at Happy Gardener's Monthly hear about this. I'm going to be famous! Maybe even get my picture in the next issue."
He stops in front of the plant.
"Gardener: You think it could use a little more fertilizer?"
Mario falls, and shakes the whole house.
"Gardener: Oops, maybe not, huh?"
Mario gets up. Exit the house and climb the crates to get to the beanstalk. Mario will climb it to the clouds. Hit the two Treasure Boxes to get the Lazy Shell Armor and Weapon. ("Got a 'Lazy Shell'!" and Mario does his victory sign.) Equip the Lazy Shell Weapon. Go back down the beanstalk, down and into Gaz's House to save. Exit and go to Nimbus Land.
NIMBUS LAND
Go down the top hole and talk to the guards.
"Up ahead are the hot springs... But only royalty is allowed..."
Mallow comes out.
"Hey! You're the REAL prince! Sorry about the misunderstanding before...There's NO WAY that fat bird could have been a Prince, huh?"
Mallow nods.
"Mallow: No big deal. Anyway, do you think you could let us through here?"
" Of course!"
They step aside.
"Go right ahead. Please, enjoy yourselves. But be careful not to fall into the volcano."
Mallow turns to Mario, smiles, and goes back. Head right and jump in the Hot Spring to fully recover. Then head down and fall into the Barrel Volcano.
BARREL VOLCANO
(Advice: attack the Corkpedite's body and use weak magic attacks to defeat Vomer.) Switch Bowser for Princess and walk down to the next section. There are some small stepping stones below. Follow them to a secret section. Hit the Treasure Boxes for two Flowers, exit, and jump back across the stones. Climb the rocks on left to go up to the next section. Climb up to the next section but avoid the Vomer. Hit the Treasure Box in the next section for a Flower, head up, and hit the next Treasure Box for 100 coins. Head to the next section. Hit the Treasure Box for an "Invincibility Star", quickly run ahead, climb up, run into the Corkpedite, and the star usually runs out around now. Head left to the next section. Head up past the Vomers to the next
section. Walk to the left of the lava pool and take a running jump to collect the Frog Coin and head up to the next section. Jump across the stepping stones to the nest section but be careful to time your jumps if you want to avoid fighting the Pyrospheres. (On it's turn: "The monster's getting furious!".) Go back through the doorway, jump on the lava, and you'll fly up to the Frog Coin. Go back into the next section. Jump up the Donut blocks to get to the first Frog Coin, walk around, jump up to collect the other Frog Coin, and head to the next section. Quickly run left to the next section while avoiding the Magmus the Stumpet shot out at you. Hit the Treasure Box to get a Flower, climb up, hit the other Treasure Box for a Frog Coin, save, and head up to the next section. Defeat the Stumpet and head around to the next section. Climb up carefully and head down to the next section. Climb up, fight the Corkpedite, and head left to the next section. Defeat another Stumpet and head to the next section. Climb up the rocks, hit the box for 100 coins and talk to Hinopio to enter his Hino Mart. The first store sells items, here's a list:
Mid Mushroom- 20
Maple Syrup- 30
Pick Me Up- 5
Able Juice- 4
Freshen Up- 50
The second stall lets you rest for 30 coins. And the final stall sells armor. Buy all the Fire armour and equip it all. Here's a list:
Fire Shirt- 90
Fire Pants- 90
Fire Cape- 90
Fire Shell- 90
Fire Dress- 90
Once your finished, head out of the door to the right. Save, head up, and make your way across the Donut bridge very carefully to the next section. Many pyrosphere join together to make Czar Dragon who you'll have to fight.
Czar Dragon- 1400 HP
Zombone- 1800 HP
Mario should use physical attacks, Mallow- Snowy, and Toadstool- physical attacks when she's not using Group Hug or items. When Czar is down, he'll resurrect himself as Zombone. Use the same strategy on Zombone but use Shocker instead of Snowy. Once he's down, you get 50 Ex.Pts. Head up to the next section.
You're about to get the Red Star... but the Axem Red swipes it. Mario's looks around and jumps back in surprise. The Axem Red has the star. It jumps forward and cuts the air, vertically, with it's ax.
"Axem Red:
We got the STAR!"
Axem Green shows up and flings his hand from the side of his face.
"Axem Green:
We're amazing!"
Axem Yellow shows up and twirls his ax.
"Axem Yellow:
We're unbeatable!"
Axem Pink shows up, slashes with her ax, winks, and blows Mario a kiss.
"Axem Pink:
We're gorgeous!"
Axem Black shows up and slashes sideways, three times.
"Axem Black:
You'd better leave now, chumps!"
Exit up.
They are in a semicircle infront of the star. Axem Black steps up and back.
"Axem Black: Hey, Red! Look down there! That's gotta be the ugliest mustache I've ever seen!"
Axem Pink steps up and back.
"Axem Pink:
Eww! Gross!"
Axem Yellow steps up and back.
"Axem Yellow: That guy's worse looking than that clod, Mario!"
Axem Green steps up and back.
"Axem Green:
That IS Mario, you IDIOT!!"
Axem Red steps up and back.
"Axem Red: Listen, everyone! We gotta get this star to the Blade immediately. We'll deal with Mario LATER!!"
They teleport. Exit left. Head up a little and...
The Red Star and Axem Yellow appear.
"Axem Yellow: Hey, RED! Careful with this!! You're all thumbs!"
Exit up, you see Axem Green leaving with the star. Exit left. Walk up and Axem Black teleports out of reach, twice, and once more, close to the top. Exit left. Walk to the exit and you see the whole group leaving. Exit down. You see them escapeing by trampoline- Axem Red, Axem Green, Axem Yellow, Axem Pink, and Axem Black. Jump on the trampoline.
You see the Axem Rangers on the outside of the crater of the volcano. Mario jumps out. Pink jumps up.
"Axem Pink: Where's the BLADE?"
Axem Red jumps up.
"Axem Red: He'll be here!"
Axem Black jumps up.
"Axem Black: Are you sure?!"
Axem Red jumps up.
"Axem Red: Relax, people!"
Axem Yellow turns around.
"Axem Yellow: Mario's HERE!!"
Axem Red jumps up.
"Axem Red: He's too late!"
Axem Green jumps up.
"Axem Green: Where's the Blade?!"
Axem Red jumps up.
"Axem Red: Shuddap, already!"
The volcano shakes as the Blade comes up. Mario jumps back in surprise.
"Axem Rangers: FINALLY!!!!"
They jump onto the ship but Mario attacks them. You'll have to battle them.
Axem Red steps up and swings his ax vertically.
"Axem Red: We fight for evil!"
Axem Black steps up and swings his ax horizontally.
"Axem Black: We live for disorder!"
Axem Green steps up and flings his hand from his face.
"Axem Green: We like what we do!"
Axem Pink steps up, swings her ax, winks, and blows Mario a kiss.
"Axem Pink: We struggle for chaos!"
Axem Yellow steps up and twirls his ax.
"Axem Yellow: We are..."
They step back and repeat their poses.
"...the AXEM RANGERS!!"
Red steps up and cuts the air vertically.
Axem Pink- 400 HP
Axem Black- 550 HP
Axem Red- 800 HP
Axem Yellow- 600 HP
Axem Green- 450 HP
Axem Rangers- 999 HP
Bring them down one by one, while Toadstool heals periodically. Go for Axem Pink using physical attacks- her healing special, Recover, is too much of a threat.
Axem Pink jumps up.
"Yo, RED!!"
Axem Red jumps up.
"Axem Red: What?"
Axem Pink steps up, slashes with her ax, winks, and blows Mario a kiss.
"Axem Pink: My make-up's running!!"
Axem Red jumps up.
"Axem Red: Then change brands!"
Axem Pink steps back. Go for Axem Black. Mario and Toastool should use physical attacks while Mallow uses Shocker.
Axem Black jumps up.
"Axem Black: Yo, RED!!"
Axem Red jumps up.
"Axem Red: What?"
Axem Black steps up and slashes his ax horizontally.
"Axem Black: I broke my shades!"
Axem Red jumps up.
"Axem Red: Serves ya right!"
Axem Black steps back. Go for Axem Green. Do the same as you did for Black but use Snowy instead of Shocker.
Axem Green jumps up.
"Yo, RED!!"
Axem Red jumps up.
"Axem Red: What?"
Axem Green steps up and flings his hand from his face.
"Axem Green: I've got a headache."
Axem Red jumps up.
"Axem Red: You're totally out of shape!"
Axem Green steps back. Go for Axem Yellow. Mario should use Super Jump on him while the others attack physically.
Axem Yellow jumps up.
"Yo, RED!!"
Axem Red jumps up.
"Axem Red: What?"
Axem Yellow steps up and twirls his ax.
"Axem Yellow: I'm... hungry!!"
Axem Red jumps up.
"Axem Red: Chew on your tongue!"
Axem Yellow steps back. Take out Axem Red by using the same method as Axem Green.
(if you took him out earlier - "Axem Red: Ooh, my head is spinning!")
Once they're all killed:
Axem Red steps up and slashes his ax vertically.
"Axem Red: Enough!! Now I'm angry! Time to finish this! Formation...HO!!"
The head in the background stretches out while the Axem Rangers do their poses. Axem Red jumps behind the head.
"Here we GO!"
"Force Beam energized! Maximum charge! NOW! Fire the BREAKER!!"
He'll use the Breaker Beam and then every three or so turns. (The next turn it has to recharge: "Recharging!!".) Get Toastool to use Group Hug every time the Beam is discharged and attack using Shocker and phyical attacks. Eventually they'll submit.
Axem Red jumps off the head and swings his ax vertically while everyone shifts position.
"Axem Red: This isn't possible! We are...invincible!"
The head lowers a little and disappears. Axem Pink winks and blows Mario a kiss.
"Axem Pink: Can this be happening to the AXEM RANGERS?"
Mario and your party run up to the Axem Rangers but the Blad begins to shake so they leave.
"Uwaaaaaah!!!"
You get 17 Ex.Pts.
Mario lands on the volcano crater. The Blade explodes and crashes into the background. The Red Star will float to Mario, he'll grab it, and it's added to your "Star Pieces" list. The screen goes black with Mario in the middle.
"6 Star Pieces have finally been collected. Where could that last Star Piece be?"
Mario does his victory dance.
