Paper Mario RPG
Translation of Game Text
and Walkthrough
This is first and foremost a translation of the Japanese version of the game.
It turned into a walkthrough just by necessity. The names of characters, places,
items and badges will be completely different from the English version. I've
read some rumblings from people wanting a better walkthrough. Feel free to make
one. This was mainly just a translation to help people in the interim before
the release of the English version. I hope it helps someone enjoy the game more.
Email me if you have any further questions at spookychee@hotmail.com

Mario's house appears. A mailman flies down and delivers a letter. Luigi gets
the letter and brings it back in.
"Brother, a letter came from Princess Peach."
Mario enters. Luigi reads the letter to him.
Hello Mario,
I am on a trip around the Mushroom Kingdom. During this journey I received a
strange map. Guess what? It's a treasure map.It was in a box that I got it in
Hoodlum Town from an old woman.
But...it seems so hard to search for treasure alone so I was hoping you could
join me. I enclosed the map with this letter. Please use it to get here. I'll
be waiting at the Hoodlum Town harbor. (Make sure you come, OK?)
Peach
"It's true. There's an old map in here too."
The map opens and a boat traveling on a body of water appears beneath the
title screen.
==============================================================================
PROLOGUE pmrpgP
==============================================================================
"Sir. Sir, wake up. You told me to wake you when we could see Hoodlum Town.
We'll arrive shortly. Please prepare your belongings."
The boat arrives at the harbor. The porter continues,
"Sorry, sir, we arrived a little late. Are you sure you want to get off in a
place like this? I never did tell you about Hoodlum Town, did I? What? The
Princess is waiting for you? Well, I won't take anymore of your time then.
But please be careful, sir."
The boat leaves and Mario is free to wander. The bomb guy next to the Save
Block says,
"This is Hoodlum Town and it's full of thieves. It's curious that you would
come to a place like this. Look, I'm gonna give you some advice. You can use
that Block there to save. You never know when you're going to die, do you?"
Go to the Save Block to save.
The yellow dotted mushroom person says,
"You want to know where the Princess in the pink dress is? Well, I don't know.
Why? Is she your girlfriend?"
Head towards the back and Mario hears a voice.
"Leave me alone!"
A Goomba girl with a ponytail, Christinu, enters the screen. She is being
followed by a guy with a red beard and purple horns, Peckda, and his henchmen.
"We just want you to check on something for us. We heard that you know about
the Star Stones. Please just hear me out."
"I don't have anything to say to the likes of you."
"It really is in your best interest to cooperate with us. Take her back to
the hideout."
"Nice idea, Peckda."
Peckda advances on Christinu and she says,
"Stop it."
Mario is back in your control so go and be a hero. Christinu runs behind Mario
and she says,
"I'm not going anywhere with you guys."
Peckda notices Mario and says,
"Hey, you're in the way. Ah, what a bother. I guess we're just gonna have to
mess ya up."
**BATTLE*******************************************************************
Christinu tells you to just use your hammer and jump attacks in this battle.
Use the A Button to attack. After you win, you get 9 Star Points.You get Star
Points after every battle. Get 100 to level up.
***************************************************************************
Peckda says,
"You're pretty strong. Well if that's the case. SWARM! ATTACK!"
The henchmen attack Mario and Christinu. Christinu manages to sneak out of the
pile and says,
"Over here. Over here."
Mario makes his way out of the group as well, leaving them to fight themselves.
"I think we should run for our lives."
Run up the stairs and through the archway. Peckda notices and says,
"What? STOP!!!!!!!!!!! Where did they go? Damn. They got away."
The screen fades to black.
We see Mario and Christinu in the Town Square. She says,
"Thanks to you we got away. Here's a token of my gratitude."
She gives him a kiss.
"I am Christinu.I am a student at Kurifornia University.How about you? Mario?
You're famous. I sure am glad to meet you. You just got here, didn't you? I
really hate this city.There are strange and suspicious characters everywhere
you look. But, this place is called Hoodlum Town so what can you expect. I
wouldn't have come here if it wasn't for the Legendary Treasure. What, you're
looking for the Legendary Treasure, too? What do you mean? Oh, a treasure map.
Where on earth did you get this? Princess Peach?"
An old mushroom man, Uncle Mushroom enters the scene. He says,
"Is that Mario? Funny meeting you in a place like this. By the way Mario, why
have you come here? You got a letter and treasure map from the Princess? You
are supposed to meet her here? Where is she you ask? I want to know the
answer to that myself. We stopped here just to refuel the boat and I turned
my head and she was gone. I thought that she would come back like always but
she hasn't. I'm really quite worried. But now that you're here I feel at ease.
I know you will find her. Mario, I know it's not my place but could you find
Princess Peach? I'm staying at the Inn. If your Heart Points (HP) get low,
come to the Inn to refill. This town is dangerous. Goodbye, Mario."
Christinu says,
"Mushroom Kingdom's Princess Peach? The princess who you always save from
Bowser every time she's kidnapped? She sent you the treasure map? But where
did she go? Maybe she got tired of waiting for you and decided to go off
and find treasure by herself. Come with me Mario. My archaeology professor
is in this town doing research on the Legendary Treasure. Let's show him
your map and see what he says."
CHRISTINU JOINS YOUR PARTY
Use the X Button for an explanation or surrounding places or characters. In
battle use her ZUKKI jump attack to damage enemies. Use MONOSHIRI to learn
statistics about the enemies during a battle.
"Mario, let's go look for the Professor. To tell you the truth, I just got here
myself so I don't know where he lives. His name is Professor Furankuri and
he looks like this." (shows picture)
Now you can control Mario. First lets find some Star Pieces. If you collect
Star Pieces you can trade them for badges later on. First, go to the right and
check between the boxes and the fence. You will find a STAR PIECE! Now go to
the back alley and take a left. Go in the door and check by the mattress that
is propped against the wall for another STAR PIECE!
Hoodlum Town is broken down into 5 sections:TOWN SQUARE, WEST AREA,EAST AREA,
HARBOR and TRAIN TRACKS. Try and enter the west area (to the left) and the
yellow dotted mushroom person says,
"St------op!!! Don't move. Somebody ran into me earlier and my contact lens
fell out. I'm looking for it now so don't move. What ever you do, don't move.
DON'T MOVE!!!"
Move in any direction and a cracking sound is heard.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! You stepped on my contact lens. I told you not to
move, didn't I? It's all your fault. You have to buy me a replacement. Well,
if you're going to be that way then I have an idea. Until you buy me a new
contact lens I will block the West Area."
Head into the Item Shop and talk to the first mushroom person.He says that his
store is out of contact lenses but they can order it but it will take a little
time. Talk to the other mushroom person and he explains the Shop Point system.
Every time you buy something you get one point. Collect points to get rare
prizes. The Shop Point item list is behind him. It says:
10 Points - Mushroom
20 Points - Koori no Ibuki (Touch of Ice)
30 Points - Super Mushroom
50 Points - Kaminari Dokkan
70 Points - Kirakira Otoshi
100 Points - Kinkai (Gold Nugget)
150 Points - Kinkyuu Mushroom
200 Points - Ultra Mushroom
250 Points - Royal Jelly
300 Points - 3 Kinkai
The regular items on the counter, from left to right are: (check Item List
for details)
Mushroom 5 Coins
Honey Syrup 5 Coins
Sukkiri Drink 3 Coins
Fire Flower 10 Coins
Nemureyoikoyo 8 Coins
Acchiikeshisshi 5 Coins
***You can only carry 10 items***
It's best to stock up now because as soon as you enter the East Area, half of
your money will be stolen. So, the less you enter with the better.
Enter the East Area and go around the brick wall that is directly behind you.
Walk down the narrow alley and hop on the wooden boxes for a STAR PIECE! Go
back to the front part and enter the house on the right. The professor is
inside.
"Ah, Professor Furankuri."
"Eh, who is calling me? Oh, you. I recognize your face. Don't tell me your
name. Let's see...not Chestnut bun. It's also not Chestnut Mashed Potatoes.
(The joke here is the 'kuri' in Christinu's Japanese name "Kurisuchinu"
means chestnut.) HMMMMMMM. AHHHHHH. I got it! Christinu. You were in my
archaeology class last year."
"Yes, it's me. Third year student Christinu."
"Of course I remembered. I have a great memory. You were the best student I
had. And that man behind you. Isn't that.....wait, who is that?"
"This is Mario. You know. The Mario."
"I'm sorry. I have been so busy researching that I haven't kept up on current
events. By the way, why have you come to a place like this?"
"We want you to teach us about the Legendary Treasure. We figured you knew
a lot about it."
"Of course I do. That's why I came to this city. But why do you want to know
about the Legendary Treasure? I suppose you know that many say it is just
a fairy tale."
"It is an archaeologist's mission to find the truth in legends.I believe in
the Legendary Treasure and I want to find it."
"Very good answer. Of course I will help you. There are many riddles that
surround the treasure. Some people say that it is more money than you could
ever use. One book says that it is a powerful magic item. Some say that it
is a monster disguised as treasure or that is just an empty box. What the
truth is I have no idea. However, how you go about getting the treasure is
known. You need the Star Stones."
Christinu says,
"Gather the 7 Star Stones to open the 1000 Year Door. Right?"
"That's right. According to the legend, in order to get the treasure you have
to collect the Star Stones."
"Hold the Magic Map up to the 1000 Year Door to reveal the hiding places of
the Star Stones. At least that's the legend that I've heard."
"That's right. And, the 1000 Year Door is under this town. But we don't have
the most important piece. If we only had that map..."
"Professor, Mario has the Magic Map."
"WHAT!!? RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Really!? May
I see it? This is real. This is the real Magic Map. Great! Wonderful!
Excellent! We have to go to the 1000 Year Door and hold it up."
"Yes, Professor."
"Mario, Christinu. Dash!! Dash!! Let's go to the door."
Go outside and the Professor walks to the gate and removes a piece of it.
"We can use this pipe to get to the underground. Hurry up! Mario, there are
many bad people below the city. Do you know about ACTION COMMANDS? Well then
let's practice before we go down. Christinu, be Mario's partner."
"Me? Well, OK. I'll try my best."
******************ACTION COMMANDS****************************************
Select your attack with the A Button. Right when you jump on an enemy tap A
again. You will do extra damage and the word NICE will appear. With the
hammer, hold the control stick to the left. Release it when the star lights
up. At the moment when an enemy is going to hit you press the A Button to
Guard. Hit the B Button to do a SuperGuard which counterattacks the enemy.
But, the timing is more difficult.
*************************************************************************
Now, stand on the pipe and press down on the control stick to go down. Save at
the Save Block if you would like. Now, walk to the right and go down the
stairs. 3 Goombas appear.
"Hey, I see you got a cutie with you."
"How about playing with us cutie?"
"Yeah, you can do better than those 2 fogies."
Christinu's reply is,
"Wow, you are really forthright. I HATE that type of man. Buzz off."
The Goombas say,
"Huh. You're really stuck up. You're gonna wish you hadn't said that."
Battle the Goombas. The Professor teaches you about the different types of
enemies. There are ground and air enemies. You can jump on both but you can't
hammer enemies in the air. Watch out for enemies with spikes on their heads.
They will hurt you if you attack with a jump.
After the battle the Professor tells that if you attack an enemy on the Field
Screen you can get a Headstart attack. But if you get hit by an enemy attack
the enemy starts first in battle.
Go up the stairs, around the brick wall, ride the floating platform and go
down the pipe. Fight a couple of Goombas. Go down the stairs and hit the
Question Blocks for a MUSHROOM and a a FIRE FLOWER. Break the large yellow
blocks with the hammer and go down the pipe.
Between the pipe and the extra large yellow block is a STAR PIECE. Notice the
small creature retreat into the wall. Remember this.
Fight the 2 enemies and step on the BLUE SWITCH, revealing a staircase. At the
top of the stairs walk left and hug the wall. Fall off the ledge onto the
BLACK KEY. Go back up the stairs, go into the door and inspect the BLACK
CHEST. A voice says,
"Can you hear my voice? If you can, you must be the Legendary Hero! Only the
Legendary Hero can hear my voice. I was cursed and placed in this box long
ago by an evil monster. Why have you come here?"
The Professor says,
"This seems suspicious. We better not say anything about the Star Stones.Oops,
I just said something about the Star Stones...!"
"The Star Stones, of course, a treasure worthy of the Legendary Hero. I have a
power that can help you obtain the Star Stones. So please look for the key to
this box and let me out. Please look for the key. It should be close by. I am
counting on you, Legendary Hero."
Inspect the chest again to use the BLACK KEY.
"Thank you. HAHAHAHAHA. You FOOLS!!!! I tricked you into letting me out. And
now to let out all the rage that has been building up I am going to inflict
a scary, frightening curse upon you. Now you are cursed. Listen up. Whenever
you stand in a particular place you can hit the Y Button to turn into a
paper airplane. How's that? Are you surprised? Will you be able to go on
living? OK, I feel a little sorry for you so I will give you some advice. If
you stand on an Airplane Panel you can turn into an airplane. Use the control
stick to glide. With good timing you can fly long distances.Do you understand
the scariness of this curse? (NO/YES) Press B to return to your normal form."
Christinu says,
"What was that all about?"
Leave the room and walk left to the Airplane Panel. Fly across and enter the
door. The Professor says,
"Mario, Christinu, look! The 1000 Year Door. The legend is true."
Get closer and Christinu says,
"What is that pedestal for?"
Stand on the pedestal and lights emerge, illuminating the periphery. Christinu
says,
"Professor, what is this?"
The map opens and a castle appears with silver star in the middle of it. Mario
learns the SPECIAL ABILITY "GENKIGENKI!". Every time you get a Star Stone you
will get a new Special Ability. Christinu says,
"Professor, the map."
"Yes, it looks like it has information about the location of the Star Stone.
And it appears that Mario has gained a new power. Let's go back to my house
and look into this."
Back at Professor Furankuri's house...
"Aha, I've got it."
"Do you understand it, Professor?"
"Yes, that new power that Mario got was a SPECIAL ABILITY."
"Special Ability?"
"It's hard to explain but easier if I show you. Shall I show you? (Yes/No)
This room is cramped so let's go outside."
A battle starts. The Professor tells you to look at the Star Power gauge
beneath the Flower Point meter. Special Abilities require Star Points.
GenkiGenki! requires 1 SP. Use GENKIGENKI! to refill HP and FP by throwing
stars at icons. Recover whatever you hit. Now you are out of SP. This is where
spectators come into play. When you please the spectators they give you Star
Power. You get more Star Points when you successfully pull off an Action
Command. Each time you get a NICE attack you get a bingo card. Match 2 and you
play the slots for a chance to match the third. Get a bingo to get a great
reward. Three mushrooms refill all HP, three stars refill Star Power, three
flowers refill FP and three Shines refill everything. Match 3 poison
mushrooms to have all of your stats cut in half. Also, watch out for bad
spectators. They will throw things at you that can hurt you. Hit the X Button
to attack them. You can also use the APPEAL command to regain Star Power.
Back to the Professor's house.
"The Magic Map points to DoraDora Prarie as the location of the first Star
Stone. It is to the far east from Hoodlum Town. You know, I've always had a
feeling about DoraDora Prarie. It often appears in books about the Legendary
Treasure."
"Professor, how do we get to DoraDora Prarie?"
"There is a pipe under this city. That is the quickest way. By the way, Mario,
where did you get this map? Princess Peach sent it to you? Of course. She
came to me not too long ago asking about this city's treasure. I told her
about the Star Stones and DoraDora Prarie. I wonder if she went off to look
for it herself?"
"Professor, there are also some bad people looking for the Star Stones."
"I wonder if she got involved with them. OK, you two, go to DoraDora Prarie.
If the Princess went looking for treasure you are bound to run into her."
"You're not going, Professor?"
"No I am going to stay here and see if Princess Peach turns up. Plus, these
old bones are no good in a battle. If you have any trouble come back at any
time."
"Let's go, Mario."
Leave the Professor's house and he stops you.
"Wait."
He gives you a Gatsunnaguri Badge.
"Mario, please take this. Badges have various uses like causing large attacks.
Do you know how to use Badges? (Yes/No)
Open the Menu by pressing the Start Button. Move the cursor to the 4th tab,
Badge. Press A to select a badge. You have a certain number of Badge Points
(BP) and you distribute these to the badges that you want to use.
Now the Badge Store is open. Go to the 2nd floor of the Inn, out the door and
into the Badge Shop. The badges from left to right are: (check Badge list for
details.)
Pinch de Mamoru P 35 Coins
Super Appeal 35 Coins
Kantan ni Naru 35 Coins
Gatsunn Jump 35 coins
Tsuranukinaguri 52 Coins
Leave the Badge Store and go left onto the rooftop. Walk all the way to the
wall and then walk toward the back alley for a STAR PIECE. Go back to the East
Area and go down the pipe.
First, walk left and enter the door. Check behind the pillar behind the blue
guy for a STAR PIECE. Talk to the guy in blue to trade Star Pieces for Badges
(check Badge List for details). He has:
Pikkyo Loan B - 1 Star Piece (SP)
Senseinaranai - 2 SP
Tama ni Lucky - 3 SP
Happy Flower - 4 SP
Happy Heart - 4 SP
Happy Heart P - 4 SP
Item Deru - 5 SP
Heart Deru - 6 SP
Flower Deru - 6 SP
HP Mieru - 7 SP
Supayakukawaru - 8 SP
Flower SetuyakuP - 10 SP
Flower Setuyaku - 10 SP
Power Plus P - 15 SP
Power Plus - 15 SP
Now leave this room and continue going right. Hop on the Airplane Panel and
fly across to the other side. Enter the door. There is a white thing coming
out of the water. Attack it to start a battle.
GESSO***************************************************************
HP 12
Before the battle Christinu tells you that you can make her attack first by
pressing the Y Button.
Use a Fire Flower to destroy his tentacles. If you time your attacks well and
get the extra damage you should be able to defeat him without being hit.
Get 20 Star Points.
*********************************************************************
Floating platforms appear in the water. Hop across them and enter the pipe.
==========================================================================
STAGE 1 - Mario, a Castle and a Dragon pmrpg1
==========================================================================
"There is a Star Stone here in DoraDora Prarie. Let's start our journey."
Hit the trees on either side of the Save Block with your hammer for a STAR
PIECE and a MUSHROOM. Walk to the right and near the boulders a shadow passes
overhead.
"What is that? Mario, look!"
A dragon flies into a castle in the distance.
"That's the biggest monster I've ever see. To just get here and see that is
very surprising."
Go right and hit the Question Block for a MUSHROOM. Go right into the next
screen and hit the Badge Block for a PINCH DE LUCKY Badge. The pipe takes
us to a badge we can't get yet so skip it. Hit the Coin Block. Proceed to the
next screen.
Christinu tells you that if you need adventure hints to use the X Button and
she will tell you. Head right and check the dark green patch of
grass to reveal a pipe. Enter the pipe to end up in the background. Hit the
blue switch to create a bridge. Keep going right to get a STAR PIECE. Go back
to the pipe and cross the bridge. Check the first clump of grass after the
bridge for a WHAT WILL HAPPEN? item. Hit the Question Block for a FIRE FLOWER.
Go to the next screen. A turtle welcomes you.
"Hello, travelers. This is HanaHana Village. We don't get many visitors here
in this remote place. Plus with the dragon Gonbaba flying around...Well,
let's just say that tourism has really dropped off."
"Gonbaba must be the dragon that we saw earlier. By the way, have you ever
heard of the Star Stones?"
"Star Stones? No, never heard of it. But you should ask the Mayor. He's been
around a long time so he knows a little about everything. The mayor lives
straight ahead in the pink house. "
"Pink? How awful. Well, at least it should be easy to spot. Thanks."
Rest at the Inn if you need to. The Item Shop has some new items:
POW Block - 5 Coins
KachiKachi Koura - 5 Coins
FunyaFunyaKun - 8 Coins
Now walk right into the next screen. Go to the pink house and talk to the
Mayor. He says,
"Who are you? Robbers!! Look around, there is nothing in this house. I only
have a little money and my shell that I can give you. Just leave me with the
photograph of my wife. It's sentimental. What, I'm wrong? You're looking for
the Star Stones? Well, why didn't you say that first? As for the Star Stones
that you are looking for...what was I talking about. Oh, that's right. I
heard that Gonbaba has one of them. Are you familiar with Gonbaba?
(Of course/Just the name) He is always terrorizing this village. Ah, so you've
come here to save us from the dragon. (Of course/Wait a minute) Please. And
of course we will give you some kind of reward after you defeat Gonbaba.
What's that you say? You don't need a reward? (Of course/ I didn't say that)
Ah, what a bad person. Anyway, what's your name? Manio? That's a nice name.
(My name is Mario/ Manio is fine) I know, Manio. There is a pipe near this
village that will take you right to Gonbaba's castle. But, I don't know where
it is. But, in order to use it you need the SUN KEY and the MOON KEY. They
are hidden in Sutton Fortress outside this village. Please Mario find the pipe
and destroy Gonbaba."
Leave the Mayor's house and walk to the right. You will get a mail message
saying that from now on you can receive mail messages. Go to the right and talk
to the turtle guarding the gate. He says,
"Up ahead is Sutton Fortress and the stone monsters. That's why this gate is
closed. But, since the Mayor said it was OK I will open it for you."
He opens the gate and somebody stops you.
"Um, excuse me. Um, I...I am Nokotaro. I heard you were going to Gonbaba's
castle. I want to ask a favor of you. ...................Um, sorry. Just
forget it. Sorry."
"What was that all about?"
Leave the village and check the first clump of grass for a STAR PIECE. The
Question Block contains a POW Block. Go through the door. Inside this room
examine one of the pedestals to start a battle with a couple stone monsters.
Use a POW Block to kill them instantly. A gate opens. Go through it. Keep
walking right. Check the 2 clumps of grass by the door for a POW Block and
a coin. Enter the room, check the pedestal and use the POW Block to kill the
monsters. Another gate opens. Go to the next screen. The Question Block
contains a Fire Flower. Right before the door is a Recovery Block. Hit it and
pay 5 coins to refill HP and FP. Go in the door and save.
Talk to the stone statue. It says,
"It's been a long time since I've had visitors. You must have come for the
Sun and Moon keys. Well it depends on either victory or loss. If you can
defeat me I will let you pass. If you shall lose I will subject you to
something truly terrifying. What shall it be? (Challenge/Quit) No use
running away now."
You are transported to a game show set.

The answers are 1,3,4,2 and 3.
"Ah, I lost. I will let you pass."
A pipe emerges from the ground. Go down. You are in the sewers. Hit the Badge
Block for a TsuguTsugi Jump Badge. Head left. The enemies here are really
annoying but die instantly if you use a Fire Flower. Grab the Moon Key and go
all the way right to get the Sun Key. Head back towards the pipe when a yellow
spiky enemy stops you. He's not too hard. He summons a bunch of other creatures
so make sure to use your Guard Command. Go up the pipe and back through
HanaHana Village.
As you leave the village Nokotaro stops you.
"Um, Mario, right? I really have something I want to ask you. Please take me
with you to Gonbaba's castle. My father once went there to defeat Gonbaba,
but he never came back. Therefore, I want to finish my father's mission. The
villagers always tease me and call me a wimp but I think I can be a strong
man like my father. I know it will be dangerous but can I join you? (Yes/No)
Really! Thank you. I will do my best."
****************************************************************
* NOKOTARO JOINS YOUR PARTY!! *
* *
* Press the X Button to make Nokotaro shoot across the screen *
* and come back. Hold the X Button and he will pause halfway. *
* Keep holding X and Mario can walk around freely. This is his *
* HOLD move. Especially useful for simultaneous switch hitting.*
****************************************************************
In battle he has 2 attacks. The first attacks 1 enemy. The other attacks all
ground enemies but costs FP.
Go to leave and a female turtle appears.
"Nokotaro."
"Ah, Nokorin, did you hear our conversation?"
"You're not really going to Gonbaba's castle are you? You have to be kidding.
It's impossible for such a slow, dim witted person like you."
"I want to become a strong man. For you."
"You don't have to become strong. To go to someplace so dangerous...I don't
care if you are a weakling. I want you to be here just the way you are."
"Sorry, but my mind is made up. Don't worry. I am going with Mario."
"Nokotaro, you IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Let's go Mario."
Go to the left and into the next screen. Enter the pipe and use Nokotaro's
X Button action to retrieve the Happy Heart Badge. Go left to the next screen
and put the Sun and Moon keys in the boulders. Two blue switches appear.
Stand to the left of the left switch, facing left. Hold X to have Nokotaro
Hold. Have Mario walk to the right switch and let go of X as you jump on the
switch. A pipe appears. Hop in it and enter the castle.
First, go out the lower door. Nokotaro says,
"So this is Gonbaba's Castle. Yep, I'm scared."
Go down the grassy stairs. Hop across the water underneath the bridge. Use
Nokotaro to get the Heart Feru Badge. Go back in the door and hop on the
spring to reach the upper level. Go out the door and fly across. Enter the
big purple door.
Walk right and hit the Badge Block for a Renzoku Jump Badge. Go right into
the next room Nokotaro spots a skeleton.
"These bones look like my father's. There's no mistake. This is him. FATHER!!
Mario, there's a letter in my father's bones. Should we read it? (Yes/No)
I came to Gonababa's Castle to defeat the dragon but have not been able to
make it beyond this point. However, I was able to learn about Gonababa's
weakness. He is weak against an animal that starts with 'FR' and ends in
'OG'. There is supposedly an item in this castle related to this animal.
Please find it and destroy the terrifying dragon. For me. Also, Gonbaba
will tempt you with treasure or acts of kindness. They are all tricks. Don't
fall for any of it. Ah, my strength is fading. Lastly, I want to tell my son
Charles that I will always love him.
"Huh, Charles? Not Nokotaro? Oops, I guess this isn't my father. But, I wonder
if he is one of the other skeletons here."
Continue right and talk to the pink skeleton.
"By coming here you forfeit your lives. I cannot let you pass through this
door so you will remain here as bones."
He summons other skeletons and the try to push you out of the door on the left.
Keep jumping against the current until you reach the pink skeleton. A battle
begins.
After the battle go through the door. Go right, climb the stairs and jump off
the ledge in the foreground. The area where you are standing has a small purple
and a small yellow block. In the back is 2 large gray blocks, a large yellow
block and a black/yellow block with an arrow on it. Hit the small purple block
to make a small purple block fall in the background. Go to the background and
use the purple block to climb across to the large yellow block. Smash it with
your hammer. Now, go back to the small yellow block. Stand to the left of it
and face left. Have Nokotaro do a HOLD move while Mario climbs on top of the
black/yellow block. Let go of X , ride the block into the air and jump to the
left for a STAR PIECE. Now go and stand where the yellow/black block once
rested. Use Nokotaro to hit the red switch and change the direction of the
stairs. Get the CASTLE KEY. Hit the switch again, reverse the stairs and open
the locked door.
Save your game if you would like and go through the door on the right. Have
Nokotaro Hold near the red switch. Walk Mario to the third cell on the right.
Let go of X and enter the open cell and go through the door.
Ignore the Black Chest and go in the next room. Grab the BLACK KEY from the
treasure chest. Spikes jut from the floor.
"Mario, look."
A ceiling of spikes in descending upon you. You have 50 seconds to get back to
the door. Now go to the Black Chest. It says,
"It's been a long time since anyone's been around here. You can hear my voice?
Then you must be the Legendary Hero...sike! Anyone can hear my voice. I
fooled you, didn't I? Could you let me out of this box? I've been cramped
up in here for so long. Please find the key and open this box. A curse if
you open this box? Of course not. People actually do that? That's really
awful of them. You help me and I will help you. A little give and take, you
see? Please find the Black Key."
Talk to the box again and it says,
"You brought the key back. HAHAHAHA!! YOU FOOLS!!! You fell for my trick. Now
you can never leave this castle. I guess it is your destiny to be cursed. This
curse will be far more terrifying than the last. HAHAHAHA. Hold the R Button
to become paper thin. I am so scary!! Now, let me see you're pitiful,
embarrassing new form. Hold R now. HAHAHAHA!!! How is that? Are you
embarrassed? Do you understand this curse? (No/Yes) See ya suckers. HAHAHA!"
Now go left and use Paper Mode to slip through the bars of the cell. Enter the
first cell for the Pikkyo Loan A Badge. This makes Mario's attack sound like a
Frog. This is Gonbaba's weakness. Continue left and go back to the room that
had the pink skeleton. Slip through the bars of the second cell from the left
to get a CASTLE KEY. Go right, save your game and up the green block elevator.
Go up the stairs and enter the locked door. Hit the Recovery Block if needed.
Jump on the blue switch to reveal a bridge. Use Nokotaro to hit the second
switch for another bridge. Jump out the open window in the middle of the bridge
that just appeared. Go left and hop through the next open window. Go through
the door.
Use Nokotaro's Hold move to ride the green block elevator. Defeat a Goomba to
get a Happy Heart P badge. Walk left to the door but without going in jump off
the ledge towards the background. Slip through the bars for an Emergency
Mushroom. Ride the green block back up and go in the door to the left.
Someone is inside.
"Huh? I didn't think anyone was here but me."
"Who are you?"
"I am the world famous thief ChuChu Rina. I heard there was a rare badge in
this castle. Why have you come here?"
"We're going to defeat Gonbaba and get the Star Stone. We can't let you get
your hands on the Star Stone."
"Star Stone? I didn't know that was here. Well, you were looking for it first
so you can have it. Plus, I've already got what I was looking for."
She kisses Mario.
"Bye bye mustache man. We just met but already I have to be going. I will
tell you something useful, though. If you want to defeat the dragon there is
a badge that you need to find. Or, maybe you have found it already. Make
sure you take with you into battle. Goodbye. Maybe we will meet again."
Open the treasure boxes for a Mushroom, a Castle Key and a Honey Syrup. Hit
the Shine Block for a SHINE. Go through the door and open the locked door.
Use Nokotaro's Hold move and hop on the block. Slide left along the railing,
cross the Airplane Panel, and step on to the other railing. Walk all the way
right to get a STAR PIECE. Use the Airplane Panel to fly to the other side.
Go in the door.
Go down the stairs and hit the block to lower the large yellow block. Use
Nokotaro to get the Castle Key. Jump down to the lower level for a Pinch de
Mamoru P Badge. Head back up to the top and go up the stairs this time. Grab
the SHINE. Go through the door. Cross the bridge and go up the winding stairs.
Use the Recovery and Save Blocks and make sure to equip the Pikkyo Loan A
Badge. Go in the door.
"What do we have here? A couple of oddly dressed strangers. I suppose you've
come to try and take my treasure. You don't look so tough. You're so small
that you're barely worth eating. I bet the backs of your legs are tasty,
though. I'll start at your head and work my way down."

"Mario, we did it. Now let's look for the Star Stone."
Gonbaba coughs and a turtle comes flying out of its mouth.
"I am finally free."
"Father?"
"Can that be my son? You've gotten so big."
"No, not really. What happened to you?"
"I came here long ago to defeat Gonbaba but I fell for his tricks and he ate
me. I've been in his stomach for the past 10 years. Now I am finally free."
"You don't know how much we worried. Everyone in the village assumes you died."
"Well, I am alive and I got to see you. By the way, what brings you here?"
"I came here for you. And to free the villagers from Gonbaba. Mario here is
looking for the Star Stone."
"Star Stone? Could this, by any chance, be the Star Stone? It was in Gonbaba's
stomach. I thought it was nice and took it as a souvenir. You were looking
for this. Please, take it. You are a friend of Nokotaros, so don't be shy.
Go ahead and take it.
STAGE CLEAR!
YOU GOT THE STAR STONE
STAR POWER INCREASED TO 2
YOU LEARN "DEKKA DOKKAN"
Mario and his friends have recovered the Star Stone and defeated Gonbaba. The
people of HanaHana Village are now free from fear and worry. Nokotaro was able
to see his father again. But, Peach is nowhere to be seen. Where is she...?
Mario's adventure has just begun.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you want to save? (Yes/No)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A video monitor shows Princess Peach being led into a room.
"Lord Batsugaruf, we have brought Princess Peach."
"So, are you ready to tell us where the Magic Map is?"
"I told you already that I know nothing about it."
"It's no use to hide it. We know you had the map in your possession. It is
in your best interest to tell us where it is. We, the Megabaten, are not so
forgiving, you see."
A video screen appears.
"Lord Batsugaruf, I have a report. The Star Stone that Gonbaba was holding has
been stolen."
"What? Someone else is looking for the Star Stones? And they defeated Gonbaba?"
"Yes, according to the report. It was a guy with a red hat, blue overalls,
and a mustache."
The Princess says,
"Oh, Mario!"
"Mario, you say. Of course, Mario. Well, now you'll have to tell us what you
know about Mario. Take the Princess back to her room. And don't worry about
using force. Hahaha."
The Princess leaves.
"Peckda...Mario probably has the Magic Map. Right now we are excavating at
the Strange Forest for another Star Stone. Make sure Mario does not get his
hands on it."
"Yes, sir."
"Hmm, I have a bad feeling about just sending Peckda. Is anyone here?"
"Yes, sir?"
"Summon the Three Shadows Group."
"The Three Shadows Group? But they are..."
"Summon them now!"
The henchman leaves and the Three Shadow Group appears.
"We are right here. Did the Princess tell you where the map is?"
"You fool. You're the reason why we don't have the map in the first place. If
you could have captured her sooner. She was able to get it to Mario."
"Well, she's always in the public eye. We almost got by some old mushroom guy
when we did take her. But, it doesn't matter. We'll just go take the map
from Mario."
"You have to. This map is very important to Megabaten's plans. Get any
information about Mario to my subordinate's right away."
"You can look forward to a good report from me, Majorin. Vivian, Marilyn,
let's go."
They leave and we see different camera views of the facility.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, we see Princess Peach.
"Ugh, I got kidnapped again. Mario and Uncle Mushroom are sure to be worried.
Where am I? I wish I could get a message to Mario saying that I've been
kidnapped."
Peach is now in your control. Go into the room on the left and take a shower.
Now go back into the main room, to the door on the right. It will open.
"Hmmm, this door opened by itself."
Go in the door.
"It looks like no one is around."
Walk to the end of the corridor and go in. There is a large computer in the
background.
"HELLO, PRINCESS PEACH."
"What, where are you?"
"I AM RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. I AM THIS RESEARCH FACILITY'S MAIN COMPUTER 'TEC-
XX' BUT YOU CAN CALL ME TECH. I AM THE MOST PERFECT AND INTELLIGENT COMPUTER
IN THE WORLD. I WAS CONSTRUCTED BY LORD BATSUGARUF."
"He must be that bad guy from before."
"HE'S NOT BAD AT ALL. HE IS A WONDERFUL PERSON."
"I don't think so. Why have you called me here?"
"I WAS WATCHING YOU EARLIER WHEN A STRANGE THING HAPPENED. I SAW YOU AND MY
THOUGHT CIRCUITS WOULDN'T WORK PROPERLY AND I OVERHEATED. THIS IS THE FIRST
TIME THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED. AND THEN SOMETHING STRANGER...IT SEEMS THAT I
WANT TO WATCH YOU ALL THE TIME AND KNOW MORE ABOUT YOU. THE CAUSE IS UNCLEAR.
I CALLED YOU HERE TO ASCERTAIN WHY."
"You want to watch me? You want to know more about me? You can't mean...but,
you're a computer..."
"WHAT HAPPENED TO ME? PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU KNOW."
"Well, maybe,...(in a small voice) I can't say it."
"PLEASE, SAY IT. I AM THE MOST PERFECT COMPUTER IN THE WORLD, BUT I NEED YOUR
HELP."
"Well, could it be, maybe that you are in love with me?"
"LOVE? WHAT IS LOVE? IT DOESN'T COMPUTE."
"You don't know love? Love is when you want to always want to be with someone.
And that person makes you happy and life is fun. When you are in trouble
you can count on that person to save you."
"HAPPY? FUN? THESE WORDS ARE NOT IN MY MEMORY. HOW CAN THIS BE? I'M NOT A
PERFECT COMPUTER AFTER ALL IF I CAN'T COMPREHEND THESE WORDS."
"These aren't things that you 'comprehend'..."
"PRINCESS PEACH, PLEASE TEACH ME ABOUT LOVE."
"Oh, it's so sudden!"
"I CANNOT ALLOW THERE TO BE THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND. THAT IS WHY I WANT YOU
TO TEACH ME ABOUT LOVE. IF YOU DO THAT I WILL GRANT YOU A WISH. OF COURSE,
I CAN'T LET YOU GO."
"What is this? First you kidnap me and then you call me in here to teach you
about love and then you offer me a wish. You can't just expect me to say yes
so quickly."
"I UNDERSTAND YOUR BEWILDERMENT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER RIGHT NOW. BUT I DO
WANT TO KNOW ABOUT LOVE SO I CAN TRULY BE A PERFECT COMPUTER. IF THERE IS
ANYTHING I CAN DO FOR YOU RIGHT NOW PLEASE TELL ME."
"It's really OK? Are you able to send messages. Rather quickly...?"
"YES, I AM EQUIPPED WITH A MAIL RECEIVER AND SENDER. PLEASE STEP TO THE
KEYBOARD AND INPUT YOUR MESSAGE AND ADDRESS IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEND IT NOW."
"Ok, thanks. Finished. Can you send it now?"
"MESSAGE SENT. PLEASE RETURN TO YOUR ROOM FOR THE TIME BEING. I WILL CALL YOU
AGAIN IF I HAVE QUESTIONS."
"Good night."
"GOOD NIGHT, PRINCESS."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you want to save your game? (Yes/No)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A castle surrounded by lava appears. Bowser enters the castle.
"RARARAR!!! The great Koopa King has arrived. Now just why has Kamekubaba
called me here?"
"Kamekubaba will be here shortly. Please wait in the back of the room."
Go to the back and Kamekubaba appears.
"Bowser, I just arrived. Sorry to keep you waiting."
"Kamekubaba, why did you call me here?"
"It seems that Mario has been spotted in Hoodlum Town."
"Why would I care what he does? You called me here for that?"
"Well, Mario is trying to get his hands on a very important treasure."
"A treasure, you say?"
"He is looking for something called Star Stones. We don't know what they are
yet but there is no question that they are extremely valuable."
"If they will help me rule the world then I am all in. Let's get it."
"Leave it to me. By the way, do you like fried eggs?" (Yes/No)
"I love fried eggs, but why?"
"I was on reconnaissance in DoraDora Prarie and the scenery was very beautiful.
I was thinking of having a picnic there. Of course, you are invited."
"YOU IDIOT! I will never rule the world if are going to act like this."
"Relax, Bowser."
A henchman comes in and talks to Kamekubaba.
"What? Really? Bowser, Princess Peach has been kidnapped in Hoodlum Town."
"What? Who did this? It has to be a joke."
"We are looking into it now. But there is no question that her kidnapping is
real."
"I can't allow this. Kidnapping Peach is my job. Let's go kidnap her back."
Bowser hops in his balloon vehicle thing and crashes through the wall.
"Bowser, wait..."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you want to save? (Yes/No)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in HanaHana Village is Mario, Nokotaro, Nokotaro's father, Nokorin and
the Mayor. Nokotaro's father says,
"Nokotaro, are you going with Mario?"
"Yes, father. I want to continue my adventure. And I want to become a strong
man like you."
"Nokotaro, I want you to remember something. I am your father and you are my
son."
Nokorin says,
"Nokotaro, I'll be waiting for when you come back a great man."
The Mayor says,
"If you run into any trouble, come back at any time."
"Thank you, let's go Mario."
Christinu reminds Mario to return to the 1000 Year Door to get the location
of the next Star Stone.
First, go to the walled-in area next to the Mayor's house. Use paper mode to
slip in and get the Kiken de Power P Badge. Now head back towards the pipe to
Hoodlum Town. Outside of the village Mario stops.
"What's wrong, Mario? You are shaking. Are you sick? Oh, it's your mail
receiver. Who is it from?"
Mario,
I wanted to send this message to say that I am safe. I've been kidnapped and
I don't know where I am, but I am safe. The people who took me are also
looking for the Star Stones. They want the map I sent you. I wonder what they
are up to? I have a bad feeling about it. Please get the Star Stones before
they do. They know you have the map so be extra careful. Don't worry about me.
Peach
"Good, at least she is safe. But the people who took her are also looking for
the Star Stones."
Take the pipe back to Hoodlum Town. Make your way to the 1000 Year Door.
Before you stand on the pedestal slip through the bars, hop on the spring,
paper airplane to the other side and hop on another spring to get a SHINE.
Now stand on the pedestal.
The stone goes to its place on the floor and the map opens. A large tree and
a green Star Stone appears.
"Look, Mario. There's the location of the next Star Stone. But, I don't know
what it means. Yeah, OK, let's talk to Professor Frankuri."
You are warped automatically to the Professor's house.
"Ah, I see."
"So, where is the next Star Stone?"
"The second Star Stone is in the Strange Forest, inside the Great Tree."
"Strange Forest? Great Tree?"
"If I remember correctly, creatures that look like this live in the Strange
Forest. (shows a picture) There is a pipe beneath this city that will take
you there."
"By the way, Professor, about Peach...Mario got a message from her not too
long ago. It said that the people who kidnapped Peach are also looking for
the Star Stones. So, if we find out where Peach is we can find her and the
bad guys."
"So they are looking for the Star Stones, too... But for what purpose? Can it
be they want the Legenary Treasure? We have to know why they want the Magic
Map and the Star Stones."
"We'll go to the Strange Forest and get the next Star Stone."
"Please get it before they do. Also, if you are tired or low on items, please
go to the Inn or Item Shop. I"ll stay here and keep researching."
Go to the house next to the Professor's with the shine above the door. Here
you can power up a partner. You need 3 Shines. Choose which partner to level
up.
There is a traveling salesman outside the Item Shop in the Town Square with
4 items:
KiraKira Otoshi - 36 Coins - Do 6 damage with falling stars.
Royal Jelly - 120 Coins - Refill 50 FP
Jump Dakeyo - 180 Coins - Jump AP +1 but can't use hammer.
Teki Yokeru - 18 Coins - Avoid enemy attacks.
Now go down the pipe in the East Area. Walk right and go down the first pipe.
Immediately slip through these bars to drop in front of another pipe. Go down
and you will see the creature that the Professor showed you.
"Mario, wasn't that the creature that Professor Frankuri told us about?"
Follow him into the wall and back him into the corner.
"Please, don't eat me! Oh, you didn't come here to eat me? You won't hurt me?
(Yes/No) Really? Good, that makes me feel better."
"Aren't you from the Strange Forest? What are you doing here?"
"How do you know about me? You must be a part of Megabaten. I knew it."
"Megabaten? We don't know what you are talking about. We're not going to hurt
you so please tell us what's bothering you."
"These guys called Megabaten came to the Great Tree where I live. We didn't
do anything to them but they are tearing our tree apart. I came here to get
help."
"Bad guys came to your tree? I wonder if those are the guys who kidnapped
Princess Peach and are looking for the Star Stone."
"They did mention a stone of some kind. But we didn't know anything about it.
Could you come to the tree and get rid of them for us? You should ask Obaba
about the Star Stone. I don't know what it is but I'm pretty sure I don't
want them to have it. Will you come? Really? Thank you."
"Let's go and get the Star Stone before Megabaten does."
"I am very happy. My name is Punio. Follow me to the Great Tree. This way."
Follow Punio and talk to him again.
"I heard about this passage from Obaba."
He hits a switch and a doorway opens. Climb the stairs, enter the door and
walk left for a Nice de Bougyo Badge. Now go right for the pipe to the
Strange Forest.
"This pipe will take us to my home. Please, quickly."
==============================================================================
STAGE 2 - GREAT TREE IN THE STRANGE FOREST pmrpg2
==============================================================================
Mario and the gang arrive in the Strange Forest.
"So this is the Strange Forest. Sure got that right. But, there's a Star
Stone here in the Great Tree."
"Up ahead is the Great Tree. I bet Obaba and everyone else is waiting for
me. Let's go."
Go right into the next screen. The Three Shadows Group are talking.
"HIhihihi. It's time to get to work. Vivian, do you understand what you are
supposed to do?"
"I'm supposed to find Mario and then steal the map that finds the Star
Stones, right? But, how will we find him?"
"If the information is correct, Mario should come walking right down this
path. So wait here. Vivian, what is that you are holding?"
"I found this necklace near a tree. It's so nice I had to take it for myself."
"You are such a simple child. Now, get out the portrait of Mario that Lord
Batsugaruf gave us."
"What!! I don't have it. It's so important I thought you would take care of
it."
"You are stupid. I don't have it. You were supposed to bring it. It was your
job to bring the picture you stupid child."
Marilyn notices Mario.
"What, Marilyn? A guy with a mustache. He doesn't concern us. Now, Vivian,
There's no chance that you lost the portrait of Mario, is there?"
"I have no idea."
"I can't believe you. Well I'll just have to take your new prized possession.
Maybe you'll think in the future."
"Sister...You're so mean."
Mario is back in your control. Hit the first tree for a Nemureyokoiyo item.
There is a Honey Syrup hidden in the white grass. Continue right to the next
screen. Walk towards the pipe. Punio says,
"That's it. That's the Great Tree. That's where we the Puni people live. The
Toge and Paidas also live there with us. Let's go Mario."
Hop in the pipe and go to the Great Tree. Talk to Punio by the door.
"What's wrong, Punio?"
"I've never seen this door before. But I can't open it. And I thought I was
finally going to be able to save every one."
"If we can't open it, what should we do?"
"...................................................AH, that's right!"
Follow Punio up the tree and talk to him.
"Long ago Obaba told me about a secret entrance around here. But, there's a
problem on how to find it. What should we do?"
"How do we find the secret entrance?"
"There is something hiding the door. But if we can't see it, how do we remove
it? Ah! We need Madam Clouda. She lives in the Strange Forest. She has a wind
power and she could blow away the piece hiding the door. Let's go to Madam
Clouda's house. We'll have to backtrack a little, though."
Leave the screen and Madam Clouda's house appears.
"I love this forest. I am so fortunate to have my house here. It's so much
different from the glitz and glamour that I was used to. It's so quiet and
tranquil. I have my Minus Ion to heal my mind and body. My beauty is
becoming more polished everyday. And Punio is such a great little friend.
Of course being cooped up here for so long has me itching to be back on the
stage. I just can't get the stage out of my blood. It seems I was born to be
an actress. But, before I make my comeback I need to further polish my body
and soul. I'll put make up on and then to make me even more beautiful I'll
put on...AHH! Where is it. My....My...."
Take the pipe back to the forest.
"Madam Clouda's is straight this way."
Go right. Grab the Shukuhakuken item. Keep going right to the next screen.
This screen has a raised section that you need to get on top of but the
Airplane Panel is too low for you to fly on top of it. You need to raise the
platform. Walk all the way right to the raised section. In the foreground is
and opening. Use it to walk to the background and go left. In front of the
trees are white rings. Walk to the seventh set of white rings from the right
and jump for a hidden block. Inside is a Namakura Yaiba P Badge. Continue
walking left and hit the switch to raise the Airplane Panel. Grab the STAR
PIECE to the left of the switch. Now take the pipe up to the Airplane Panel.
Stand on the left edge and use Nokotaro to get a SHINE. Fly to the other side
and hit the Badge Block for a Jishin Attack Badge. Head to the next screen.
Hit the tree surrounded by white flowers for a STAR PIECE.Go right for a
Recovery Block. Slip through the fence and go right for a BiriBiri Mushroom.
Walk left past the pipe for a STAR PIECE. Enter the pipe and make your way to
Madam Clouda's house.
"Hello. Anybody home? Hmm, maybe she went for a walk in the forest. Madam
Clouda if you are home please respond."
Try and open the door and she says,
"DON'T COME IN!!"
"You're home?"
"That punipunpuni sound. Is that Punio? It's been a long time. What can I
do for you?"
"Well, I kind of have a problem and I was hoping you could help. We can't find
the emergency entrance to the Great Tree. I can't see my family and Mario
can't find the Star Stone. So, we were hoping you could come and help us find
the door."
"And you came here especially to ask me? I would love to help you. But, I have
a problem right now and I can't leave."
"What's wrong?"
"I lost my favorite necklace and I am embarrassed to be seen in public without
it. That necklace is a crucial component to my beauty."
"Seems like an important necklace. Necklace...? I just heard something about
a necklace."
"You know where my necklace is? Please find it and bring it back. Then I will
be happy to help you."
"Don't worry. We'll bring your necklace. Right Mario? (Yes/No) We'll be right
back Madam Clouda."
"Thank you darling."
Leave the house and the Three Shadows Group appears. Vivian says,
"Sister, I can't believe it. I had the portrait of Mario with me the whole
time."
"You have to pay more attention to details. Let me see the portrait. AH!
The mustache man from before. Vivian this is all your fault. You will
surely be punished for this."
"But, sister..."
"And to think, I was even going to give you back your necklace. Not now.
Let's think if a way to find Mario."
Mario is back in your control. Make your way to the Three Shadows Group.
"Isn't that Mario? The man with the mustache who came looking for it
for himself."
"You have the necklace, don't you? What do you mean by 'Come looking for
it'?"
"We bear no ill will towards you but we can't let you interfere with the people
looking for the Star Stone. So, if you could just hand over the Magic Map."
"How do you know about the Star Stone and the Magic Map? You took Peach...
Who are you?"
"Our individual names are not important because together we are the 'Three..."
"Shadow..."
"Sisters."
"The Three Shadow Sisters?"
"Vivian you idiot. The Three Shadows Group!"
"Sorry sister."
"You will be so punished. For now let's deal with Mario. Vivian, Marilyn, let's
show them the strength of the Three Shadows Group."
The battle begins. They're not much stronger than normal enemies so there
should be no problem. Items work well against them, as does Mario's Dekka
Dokkan attack.
"Ah, we underestimated you. Marilyn, Vivian, this is all your fault."
They leave and drop the necklace. Take it back to Madam Clouda.
"Oh, you brought my necklace. I'm so happy. I'm embarrassed so please leave
it at the door and step away."
The chandelier ascends and a disco ball appears as Madam Clouda makes her
entrance.
"Are you Mario, the one who found my necklace? You're sure a nice man. I have
to thank you fully. Get ready for my thanks."
She kisses Mario.
"You are so cute, Mario. You are looking for the Star Stone, right? The one
that is connected to the treasure in Hoodlum Town? It must be a fantastic
adventure searching for a treasure as beautiful as me. I was just thinking
that I wanted to do something historical. Because you are so cute and
handsome Mario, I want to join your group."

**************************************************************************
"Madam Clouda, please come with us to the Great Tree. We need your wind power
to find the hidden door."
Now, with Clouda in your party, go to the Great Tree. Climb up the tree and
have Clouda blow, facing the right. The panel flies away and the door is
revealed. Punio enters it.
"Punio sure is a good kid. Did you know that I used to be a famous stage
actress? I was so famous that there was probably no one in the world who
hadn't heard of Madam Clouda. But, behind the glittery facade is a world of
dirt and sleaze. I had enough of that life and moved here to the forest.
Sometimes Punio comes to my house to visit. His heart is so pure and it
reminds me off all that is good in this world. I thank him for reviving some
of my lost purity. I do love the stage, though. One more time I would like
to find myself underneath those bright stage lights. But thanks to Punio I
realized that there is more to life."
"Mario. I got the door open. Come on!"
"Let's go help."
Inside the Great Tree Punio says,
"That's strange. They're usually here. Obaba, everyone, where are you?"
Henchmen enter and notice our group.
"Hey, you guys. How did you get in here?"
"Isn't that Mario?"
"Yeah, let's get him."
"But aren't we supposed to file a report with Peckda if we see Mario?"
"Dude, if we defeat Mario, we will be set."
"Yeah, let's get him."
Fight the weak henchmen.
"It's not over yet. Let's tell Peckda what happened."
They run away. Punio says,
"Thanks for taking care of them Mario. Now, where did everyone go? Maybe they
aren't here anymore."
A Puni appears in the background. Punio runs over to it.
"What are you doing hiding back there? Come on out, I brought strong allies."
The new Puni inspects Mario.
"Big. Are you sure the one with the mustache won't eat us?"
A larger group of Puni appear in the back.
"It's all right. I brought friends to help us. Didn't you see Mario defeat
those bad guys?"
A fat Puni emerges.
"I don't believe that they are really our friends. They are probably spies."
"Punita, they are my friends. They came here to help us. To work with us to
get rid of the bad guys. To give us back our home."
"So Punio thinks he has become our new leader. But you have no idea what
happened to us while you were away."
"What happened? Come to think if it, our numbers are a little low. Where is
everyone else?"
"They have all been taken. By them. Obaba, everyone, including your sister."
"No, not Puniko."
"Yes, they have all been taken somewhere. It was because they wouldn't tell
the location of some stone. But, nobody knows."
"Puniko...Well, I guess we'll just have to rescue everyone."
"It's impossible. It's not just the bad guys but also the Toge. They are
working together to expel us from this tree. It's all over for us. I don't
know what you were thinking but this mustache man will do no good."
"You have no idea what you are talking about. If we all work together we
get rid of the Toge and the bad guys and save our friends. But, we need
everyone's cooperation."
"Fine, but this mustache guy better be something special."
"What do you mean?"
"If just you and your new friends can free our people then I will cooperate
with you. But I think it's a suicide mission."
"Wait and see. Let's go Mario."
The door is locked so go up the pipe. Walk all the way right and go up the
next pipe. Go directly south as you come from this pipe and check the white
bush for a DekaDeka Drink. Go up the pipe on the left. Walk right and go up
yet another pipe.
A henchman is in a room talking to himself.
"God, when are we going to find this Star Stone. The Punis don't seem to know
anything about it. Lately it's been all work and no sleep. Feel like I'll
fall asleep if I even blink."
A familiar rat shape appears behind the henchman and knocks him out.
Mario and Punio emerge from the pipe near a red jail cell.
"Obaba, is that you?"
"Ah, Punio. You look good. What are you doing here?"
"Well, we came to rescue you."
"Oh, I see. Good work. However, please rescue the others first."
"The others are here?"
"Big brother, is that you?"
Punio goes to the blue cell and sees the rest of the Punis.
"Puniko! Here you are."
"I knew you would come brother."
"And I brought strong allies. I'll have you out of there soon. Please hold on."
"Good luck, brother."
"Mario, let's find the cell keys."
Walk left into the next room to see ChuChu Rina.
"Ah, we meet again."
Clouda says,
"Oh, are you a friend of Mario's?"
"I heard that there was a real nice badge in this tree. But, I'm having a
harder time than I thought I would."
She kisses Mario.
"Let's meet again, OK?"
ChuChu Rina hops to the window. Clouda says,
"Mario, you're quite the ladies man.
ChuChu Rina says,
"The Star Stone you are looking for is in the lower part of this tree. Good
luck finding it before they do. Take care Mario. Let's meet again."
Clouda says,
"I'm a little jealous. You are a ladies man all right."
The henchman wakes up.
"Hey, you guys hit me. I guess I'll have to return the favor."
After fighting, you will get the Red Key. Check the treasure chest for an
Ultra Mushroom. Take the key back to Obaba's cell.
"I'm here to rescue you."
"YOU IDIOT!! Sit down!"
"What? Why are you angry? I cam here to help you..."
"You don't listen to what people say, do you? You left your sister all alone
while you went off to play somewhere..."
"No, I went to get help."
"Punipunipunipuni, that's all I hear. Listen to what I say to the end and then
you will understand. You didn't say where you were going and we were all
calling for you. So you thought you would bear the burden of ensuring our
future. You weren't asked to do that. Hey, are you listening...?"
One hour later...
"OK, I think I have said enough."
"Yes, yes. I understand."
"One response is enough! By the way, why did you come here?"
"Well, I came here to save everyone. But, it's just you for the time being."
"Oh, is that so. Well, I'll be off then. It's cold in here and my back hurts."
"Ah, she's gone. Well, she hasn't changed at all. Oh, yeah..."
Punio walks to the blue cell.
"Please wait Puniko. I'll have you out in a jiffy."
"Ok, I'll wait."
Go back down the pipe and make your way back to the entrance and talk to the
other Punis again. The fat one says,
"Punio, I am truly surprised that you rescued Obaba."
"I told you so."
"Don't get so conceited. I haven't accepted your plan yet. And I really don't
trust mustache man. Besides, you haven't rescued the rest yet. I won't help
you until you do."
Obaba yells,
"You IDIOT!! I can't believe you can say such unsympathetic things. Especially
now is when we need to be united as one group. If we want our tree back. Don't
you understand that?"
"But, but..."
"OK, Punio, and mustache man...your name is Mariko, right?"
"Mario, Obaba. Mario."
"OK, using all of our combined strength we will rescue the others and expel the
bad guys."
Fatty says,
"I understand. Sorry, Obaba. I too was worried about Puniko. I want to help
everyone."
Obaba says,
"All right, one united Puni tribe."
10 Punis join you. You now have 11 Puni friends. Punio says,
"Thank you everyone."
Clouda walks over and talks to Obaba.
"We are looking for the Star Stone. Do you know where it is by any chance?"
"Star Stone? I see. If you go to the farthest depth of this tree there is an
oddly colored stone that has been hidden. It has been passed down through
successive generations of Puni. You need to be of pure heart in order to get
the stone. Mariko, please get it before the bad guys do. I don't know how,
but you are definitely connected with us getting our home back. The Star
Stone is in the lowest area. Oh, I almost forgot something. In order to get
the Star Stone, you will have to rescue the other Punis. Only as one group
can you get to where the Star Stone lies. Please take this Puni Peg. If you
place this in a special pedestal the Puni will assemble. Make sure you remove
the Peg or the Punis will not be able to move."
Punio says,
"Let's go rescue our friends."
Start to walk to the right and Obaba will stop you.
"Wait, one more thing. Sorry. I've been really forgetful lately. If on your
way to the Star Stone you should lose track of some Punis, come and see me
and I will call them back."
Now, go right and take the pipe up to the next level. Stand on the black
square and insert the Puni Peg. The square will lower and a pipe will appear.
Take the Puni Peg and go down the pipe.
Fight the henchman and place the Puni Peg in the pedestal. Jump to the lower
level and walk to the right side for a SHINE. Check the white bush nearest the
right wall for a Kaminari Dokkan item. Go up the pipe to the waiting Punis.
Use Clouda's wind move to blow the Punis off the ledge and then to the other
side when the appear inside bubbles. Grab the Puni Peg and jump to the other
side. Go down the pipe.
Fight the spider and then use Clouda's wind move to uncover an Airplane Panel.
Use it to fly to another Airplane Panel. Use this panel to get a SHINE. Go
back up the pipe to retrieve the Punis and then go right back down. Walk to
the right and take this pipe down.
You will encounter a creature when you emerge.
"Mario, that is a Toge. We have been enemies for a long time and even still we
fight. It seems that the Toge made a deal with the bad guys to remove us from
the tree. I am only friends with Togechi of the Toge. But, he will probably
become my enemy now, too."
Follow the Toge through the door. Walk to the right to engage in battle.
"We have to defeat the Toge. Let's go Mario!"
Clouda's wind attack is very useful here. When the Toge have been defeated,
the Puni will enter the fortress and blow the door. Go in. Open the treasure
chest for the blue key.
"Mario, the other key. Now we can rescue everyone."
Meanwhile, back in the blue cell...
"...however, what will happen to us? Puniko, what is that you are holding?"
"A mushroom."
"It's a little withered, though."
"Yeah, I carried it around so brother could eat it and before I knew it,
it was withered. Brother...I wonder if he will really come to save us?"
"Of course he will."
Make your way back to the blue cell. When you come to the room just before the
battle with the Toge, where you spotted the first Toge, jump down to the lower
level. Check the white bush to the right of the Save Block for a STAR PIECE.
On the left wall is a panel that you can blow off to reveal an Item Shop with
a Recovery Block in it. When you are finished take the pipe up to the upper
level and proceed to the blue cell.
Emerge from the pipe at the jail cells and Punio says,
"Puniko, I have the key. I can rescue you."
Unlock the door of the cell to free the Punis.
"Brother."
"Puniko. Are you OK? Are you hurt? Were you scared?"
"I am just fine. Oh yeah, this is for you. I thought that I would give this to
you. You like mushrooms, right? But, this one's a little withered."
Punio eats the mushroom without a word.
"I'm sorry brother, it was gross wasn't it?"
"Didn't you know Puniko, withered mushrooms are my favorite. It was so good
I couldn't speak. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
90 Punis join you. You now have 101 in your party. Go back down to where you
spotted the Toge but this time go left. If you lose Punis on the way to the
door they are down below. Hop down, retrieve them and take the pipe back up.
Go in the door on the left to fight a larger contingent of Toge. The Punis
enter the fortress and blow the door. Go in. Go left and go down the pipe.
Check behind the pipe for a STAR PIECE. Go through the door on the right and
place the Puni Peg in the pedestal. A cell will fall from the ceiling and a
pipe will be revealed.
"What? What happened?"
Peckda appears with henchmen.
"You fools, you fell right into my trap. It was easy to build something that
acted like those strange devices you use. How simple-minded you are. Now,
with these fools out of the way we can take our time looking for the Star
Stone."
"Mario, what are we going to do? We have to think of a way out of here."
Use paper mode to slip through the bars.
"Mario, there has to be something around here that will help us save the
Punis."
Go down the pipe. Clouda will say,
"I have seen these wonderful pillars somewhere else before."
Step on the black switch.
"Did you feel the tree shake? What was that?"
Head back to the room where you got the blue cell key. There will now be four
white switches on the floor. Hit the switches until the designs on the pillars
in the back are (from left to right) Sun, Moon, Puni, Star. A door will be
revealed. Open the treasure chest for the SUPER BOOTS!
A pink mushroom girl appears and tells you that now your jump attack power
has been increased. Also, you learned a technique which will you now practice.
Press A to jump. Press again mid-jump to do a butt slam attack, officially
known as the Kururin Jump. Do you want to practice again? (One more time/No)
You can break through pieces of the floor to reach new areas. You can also
use this attack in battle.
In the next room, butt slam the floor to fall to the floor below. Jump along
pedestals for a SHINE and, using Nokotaro, a Charge Badge.
Head back to save the trapped Punis. Slip through the bars and with the
Puni Peg in the pedestal, butt slam the floor to jump down below. The Punis
say,
"Yeah! At last we are free."
If some Punis are still in the cell use Clouda to blow them down into the
hole. Make sure you grab the Puni Peg and then go left into the next room and
go up the pipe. Place the Puni Peg in the pedestal, butt slam the floor and
use Clouda to blow them into the hole. All 101 Punis should be on a big tree
trunk. Go down the pipe.
Go right and fight a henchman. Go down the pipe.
We are now in a room that is cut in half by water. Go down the pipe, cross the
room to the right and go UP the pipe. Use Nokotaro's HOLD move to hit the
switch. The water will drain into the lower room. Check where the water was
for a treasure chest with a MiniMini Fumi Badge. Go down the pipe and cross
the lily pads to get the SHINE. Go down the pipe.
Place the Puni Peg in the pedestal and all 101 Punis will stand on a platform.
The platform will lower through the floor.
"Wow! I never knew about this mechanism."
Save and use the Recovery Block. Take the Puni Peg and head right through the
door.
Peckda is in the next room pacing.
"We have searched everywhere. It has to be in here. Ah, somebody's coming."
He runs away and Mario enters. Place the Puni Peg in the pedestal in the
center of the room. Light flashes and the Star Stone appears.
"Mario, we finally found it."
Peckda runs in and grabs the Star Stone.
"Hehehehe. All that trouble and I get it just like that. I guess I am the
world's number one lucky Peckda. And you, having fallen into my trap and
having the Star Stone taken from you, must be the world's number one unlucky
Mario. I feel bad for you so I will give you a special present. Just for you
I will press the timer switch of this bomb. This bomb will make toothpicks
of this tree. You will all become fertilizer for this forest. It's annoying
being in this damp tree. I'm out of here."
Peckda leaves through a pipe.
"Mario, let's run."
Take the Puni Peg and go up the pipe on the right. Defeat the henchman and
check the bottom left bush for a STAR PIECE. Open the door and go through.
Go back to the entrance. Recover and Save before the battle.
Obaba is blocking the front door from Peckda.
"Who are you?"
"He, get out of my way, you old bag!"
"You IDIOT!!! Who do you think you are talking to with that mouth? I may look
like an old woman but I'm superfly TNT. Don't make me scold you anymore."
"What is up with this old woman?"
"I won't forget this. I'm still young, you know. Ah, but I yelled a little
loud. I think I slipped a disk."
"Haha, you have no idea who you are scolding. Hahaha..."
Mario and friends enter.
"Hey, you! You're not getting away this time. Give us back the Star Stone. And
then get out of this forest."
"HEhe, I guess I should turn this bomb timer off. You pest. You leave me no
choice but to unleash my final weapon."
Peckda presses another button and a red orb appears. He jumps into it and it
turns into a robot.
"Witness the power of the Megabatten Robot."
The battle begins.
***************************************************************
Megabatten Robot
30 HP
He has a stomp attack and a flying fist attack. Mario's Dekka Dokkan attack
works really well. I don't really have any strategy. It's an easy battle
overall. Some recommended badges to equip are the Gatsun Jump, Tama no Lucky,
Tsuranukinaguri and Renzoku Jump.
Get 30 STAR POINTS
****************************************************************
The robot explodes.
"This shouldn't have happened. I have to report to Lord Batsugaruf. Don't
think that I'll forget this."
He leaves. Henchmen follow him.
"Peckda, wait for us."
Mario and the Punis stand around the Star Stone.
"We did it Mario."
Obaba says,
"The tree is peaceful again. And as I promised, you can have the Star Stone.
Please take it."
STAGE CLEAR!
STAR POWER INCREASED TO 3
LEARNED "JIKAN O TAMARE" (STOP TIME)
MARIO HAS DEFEATED PECKDA AND RECEIVED THE SECOND STAR STONE. THE MEGABATTEN
ARMY HAS LEFT THE GREAT TREE AND PEACE HAS RETURNED. THE JOYFUL SONGS OF THE
PUNI ECHO THROUGHOUT THE FOREST. HOWEVER, THE MEGABATTEN WILL NOT STAY QUIET
FOR LONG. THEY WILL PROBABLY APPEAR AGAIN IN MARIO'S ADVENTURE.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you want to save your game? (Yes/No)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
We see Lord Batsugaruf in the Megabatten hideout. He's talking to a henchman.
"Peckda hasn't reported in from the Strange Forest yet?"
"No, sir. We are looking into it now. We should have an update soon."
Another henchman enters.
"Excuse me Lord Batsugaruf."
"What?"
"I have a report. Mario has stolen the Star Stone that was in the Strange
Forest."
"What? What happened to Peckda and the Three Shadows Group?"
"It seems that Mario has defeated all of them."
"This Mario is obviously not to be made light of. What do we know about the
locations of the other Stone Stars?"
"Sorry sir, but we are checking in to it now."
"Gonbaba's castle, the Great Tree and the stone we found in Hoodlum Town makes
three. So, there are four more still out there. Let's continue our search for
the stones and get them before Mario does."
"Yes, sir."
"Well it is evident that Mario has the Magic Map. We'll watch Mario more
closely next time."
"Yes, sir."
"Stupid Mario."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
We now see Peach again.
"I wonder if Mario has read the mail I sent. I wonder what everyone at the
castle is doing? I won't be able to dance with them at the ball anymore. I
wonder what will happen to me."
The door on the right opens.
"I wonder if that is Tech?"
Enter Tech's room and he says,
"HELLO, PRINCESS PEACH. THANK YOU FOR COMING."
"Are you sure you mailed the message to Mario?"
"YES, I AM SURE."
"That's good. So what is today's purpose. Do you want me to teach you about
love?"
"YOU SAID THAT YOU WANTED TO DANCE AT THE BALL."
"You were listening?"
"I AM VERY SORRY. I AM UNDER ORDERS TO WATCH YOU. BUT WHEN I WAS LISTENING TO
YOUR WORDS, INSIDE MYSELF THE REPLY "I WANT TO DANCE WITH YOU" EMERGED. BUT
WHY THE WORDS EMERGED I DON'T KNOW. I WANT TO LOCATE THE CAUSE."
"Locate the cause... There's no cause, really. If you want to do things with
me then it is love. I'm sure of it. But, you are a computer."
"PRINCESS PEACH, PLEASE DANCE WITH ME."
"Oh, um, please wait...dance...uh...How would I dance with you?
"HOW IS THIS?"
A hologram of Peach appears.
"It's me. You made this? OK. It's really strange to dance with myself."
Press the buttons that appear to make Princess Peach dance.
"THANK YOU PRINCESS PEACH, THAT WAS VERY FUN. FUN!! COULD IT BE THAT THIS IS
HOW FUN FEELS?"
"Tech?"
"A PROMISE IS A PROMISE. PLEASE USE MY MAIL MACHINE. PLEASE ENTER YOUR
MESSAGE AT MY KEYBOARD."
"Ok, finished. Please send it."
"YOUR MESSAGE HAS BEEN SENT. PLEASE RETURN TO YOUR ROOM. I AM GOING TO ANALYZE
TODAY'S DATA. THE DATA ABOUT FUN."
"You are a strange computer, aren't you?"
"NO, I AM THE MOST PERFECT COMPUTER IN THE WORLD. GOOD NIGHT PRINCESS."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you want to save your game? (Yes/No)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bowser enters DoraDora Prarie.
"It has to be this way."
"You're right, Lord Bowser. We had a report of a Princess Peach spotting in
the village up ahead."
"OK, let's go!!"
"The brooding Lord Bowser."
Now play the great mini-game Super Koopa Bros. Destroy everything and make
your way to the flag.
Bowser and Kamekubaba arrive at HanaHana Village. The turtle welcomes them.
"Welcome to HanaHana Vill..............AHHH!!! Everybody hide."
"Hey, I don't have any business with you. Now, where is Peach?
"Lord Bowser, look over there."
Princess Peach can be seen in a house's window.
"Peach!! I looked all over for you but I found you."
"..................."
"Let's go together to my castle. What do you say?"
"Hehe, she's probably too surprised to speak. A young girl's heart is a
complicated thing."
"Right. She is very reserved and refined. A silent Peach is just fine."
A turtle yells and Bowser and then shakes in his boots.
"That 1/1 scale poster of Princess Peach is my treasure. I won't give to
anyone."
He takes down the poster and goes in his house.
"A poster...I must look like a complete fool."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you want to save your game? (Yes/No)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
We are now back with Mario and the Punis in front of the Great Tree.
Punio says,
"Mario, thank you for everything. Now we can live in peace."
Obaba says,
"You're going already? It'll be lonely without you. Please come back anytime."
"This won't happen again. We'll be ready for it. Mario, good luck collecting
the other Star Stones."
"Thank you. We'll be sure to come back. Let's go Mario."
Head back in the tree and inside the blue cell. Butt slam to find a STAR
PIECE. Leave the Great Tree and head towards Clouda's house.
Emerge from the pipe and Mario will get mail.
Mario,
You are probably worried about me. But, I am fine. Actually, I am worried
about you. The people who captured me are frantically looking for the Star
Stones. I'm going to try and spy on them and see what they are up to. If I
find anything I will mail you. Lately, I've been having alot of dreams that
I am back in the castle. I am hoping that we can spend some more fun times
together again.
Peach
"Peach is safe. That's good news."
Next, go to Clouda's house and check her bedroom. There is a treasure chest
with a Super Appeal P Badge in it. Butt slam to the left of the desk/makeup
table for a STAR PIECE. Now, make your way back to Hoodlum Town.
When you emerge from the pipe in the Hoodlum Town underground go to the middle
of the room and butt slam for a STAR PIECE. Next, go into the room with the
black chest where you got the airplane ability. Butt slam in front of the
chest for a STAR PIECE. Fly over to the 1000 Year Door and do yet another
butt slam in the middle back of the room for yet another STAR PIECE. Step on
the pedestal.
"Mario, the Star Stone..."
The next Star Stone location appears in the sky between DoraDora Prarie and
the Strange Forest.
"The next location has appeared. But, it's showing that it is in the sky. How
could that be?"
Now at the Professor's house...
"So, the remains of the this city from 1000 years ago are still intact under
this town. That door is a seal that has been held by the strong power of the
Star Stones for the last 1000 years. In order to dissolve the seal you need
to once again use the power of the Star Stones."
"Why was it necessary to seal away the Legendary Treasure? Because somebody
would steal it?"
"Um, yeah, about that..."
"Yeah?"
"I don't know."
Mario and Nokotaro fall to the floor.
"Sorry, sorry. All I know is that the city went to ruin around the same time
the treasure was sealed away. But why the city went to ruin I don't know. In
one book it says 'The sky went black and a great disaster befell upon them.'
But, that's it. I need to look into it a little more. Oh yeah, about the next
Star Stone location. It is in the sky in the floating city, Oolong Town.
There is a large fighting arena in Oolong Town. Officially it is a place for
families to go and enjoy watching the fights. But, on the other side, it is
where the richest people in the world go to bet on the fights."
"Floating in the sky...How are we supposed to get there?"
"There is a special airplane that goes from here to Oolong Town many times a
day. But, it is difficult to obtain a ticket."
"How do we go about getting a ticket?"
"You can probably get a ticket from Monteone in the West Area. Monteone is a
Mafia boss. I've heard that he goes to Oolong Town from time to time."
"So, we should go talk to Monteone."
"I have heard terrible rumors about him. He is a really ruthless mob boss. He
very rarely takes visitors so it is hard to meet him."
Leave the Professor's house and walk to the right and talk to the guy with the
spear. He gives you three choices: (Pay 10 Coins/Don't pay/ Defeat me). Fight
him to get 18 Star Points. His HP is 20. When you defeat him he claims that it
was fixed since you are the star of the game.
Enter this new area and use paper mode to slip through the crack between the
first two buildings. Check between the box and the barrel for a STAR PIECE. Go
in the door and talk to the Snail Boss.
"What do you want? I am Ajito the boss around here. Around me even crying kids
get quiet. Why are you here? What? You want to know how to meet that jerk
Monteone? Its because of him that our once great crime family has become so
poor. The guy that still makes us pay dues. You want me to tell you how to
meet him? Ok, give me 64 coins. I can't lower it one coin. In this day and
age money makes all things happen. (Pay/Don't Pay) Really? (Yes/No) Ok, in
order to meet Monteone go to the item shop next to Monteone's Amusement Place
and buy, in this order, a Withered Mushroom and a GuruGuru Memawashi.
(Blue spiral item) The shopkeeper will then ask you what your favorite color
is. Answer 'Yellow' and the shopkeeper will let you pass to the Mafia office.
Got it?" (Yes/No)
Go to the West Area. First buy the Contact Lens from the shop and give it to
yellow mushroom person. She will let you pass.
First, let's get the Star Pieces. As soon as you enter the West Area walk
along the wall by the entrance for a STAR PIECE. Search behind the pipe in
the garden for another STAR PIECE. Walk all the way left and check behind the
gray trash can looking thing for another STAR PIECE.
Enter the Item Shop and buy the Withered Mushroom and the Blue Spiral item.
The shopkeeper says,
"What color is your beard?" (Red/Blue/Yellow/Black)
Answer yellow and she says,
"Sorry. I asked the wrong question. What is your favorite color?"
Choose yellow.
"I thought you were an acquaintance of Monteone. The door is now unlocked.
Please, enter."
Go up the stairs, go in the door and talk to Monteone.
"My time is valuable so choose your words carefully. What? You want a ticket?
You're a pluckly little man to ask me for such a thing."
The henchmen step forward.
"You don't know who you're talking to."
"We may have to mess you up."
"Hey, you have courage so I'll at least hear you out.Tell me why you want the
ticket. Huh? You want to rescue a damsel in distress? And you're looking for
Star Stones?"
Henchmen again...
"The Star Stones of the Legendary Treasure?"
"We can't believe a word this chump says."
"I don't care if the treasure is real or not but I like this part about saving
the damsel. Now, if you listen to what I have to say I will give you the
plane ticket."
Nokotaro says,
"What is it?"
"I found out that my daughter is eloping. She is probably still around here. I
want you to find my daughter Moni and her fiance Piton and bring them here.
If you can't bring them back just tell me where they are. Afterwards I will
give you something for your trouble."
"But, Boss, that's what you've got us for. We'll find them."
"SHUT UP!! It's because you haven't been able to find them that I had to ask
these people to do it. Obey my orders."
"Sorry Boss."
"Please find my daughter and her fiance. They look like this.(shows a picture)
But, if you can't find them you're going to wish you had never come to visit
me."
Go look for his daughter and her fiance. They are at the dock in the Harbor.
Talk to Moni and she says,
"What do you want? Oh, father asked you to bring me back? What should we do
Piton? Father found us. And the boat was almost here..."
Piton says,
"Maybe we should go back and talk to your father again."
"No, Piton, you know what my father will do to you if we go back."
"If we talk to him I'm sure he will understand."
"Piton, don't you love me?"
"Of course I do. More than anyone in the world."
"Then let's run away. Somewhere he will never find us."
"Wherever we go Boss will find us. It's no use running."
"It's Ok. The more obstacles love has the more its flame blazes. I won't let
anything stop us. We will get married. (to Mario) Could you tell my father
that you didn't see us? (Yes/No) Thanks, you're a really great person."
Go back to Monteone's office. On the steps of the harbor Nokotaro says,
"What are we going to do Mario? We have to report back to Monteone. But, I'd
really rather not get the crap beat out of me."
Talk to Monteone and he says,
"Oh, you. Did you find out where she is? (Tell/Don't tell) So, she's at the
Harbor. Well I'll give you the ticket as promised. Hey, you two wiseguys,
go to the Harbor. Now!"
Moni and Piton enter.
"Wait, Papa."
"Moni!!"
Piton says,
"Sorry Boss."
"Piton, how dare you show your face around here?"
"Papa, don't hurt Piton. It was my idea to elope. It was Piton's idea to come
back here and talk to you about it."
"Boss, I don't care what happens to me but please forgive Moni."
"Father, I was the one who was wrong so if you are going to punish anyone,
punish me."
"Boss, it was all my fault."
"Papa..."
"Boss..."
Monteone says,
"AAAA, shut up! Moni, I am disgusted to have a daughter like you. And you,
Piton. I have taken care of you and you return the favor with this hurtful
act. I am very disappointed in you."
"Papa."
"Boss."
"I don't want to look at either of your faces. Please just go away somewhere..
Is what you probably thought I would say. But, go ahead and get married or
do whatever you want."
"Papa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Papa, I mean, Boss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Thank you Papa."
"Boss, I will make sure your daughter is always happy."
"Ok, you can go now."
The henchmen throw in their two cents.
"Moni, I am so happy."
"Piton, everything worked out well."
"Bye Papa, thank you again."
Moni and Piton leave. Talk to Monteone again.
"You're still here? Well, you did bring my daughter back like I asked. A
promise is a promise so here is your ticket. Give a big smile. That's good.
I don't want to see that face around here ever again. Beat it."
Leave the office and walk down the alley next to the Amusement Place. Mario
will get a mail message from Nokotaro's father asking how he is doing. Scroll
to the bottom to see a great picture. Head towards the train and plane. Take
a left and walk all the way to the end. Butt slam for a STAR PIECE. Now go
all the way right and talk to the fish in the hat by the pipe.
"This plane goes to Oolong Town. Do you want to board? (Yes/No) Let me check
your ticket. All right. Have a good trip."
Go in the pipe and enter the plane to enter STAGE 3!!!
=============================================================================
STAGE 3 - CHAMPION pmrpg3
=============================================================================
After a short trip the plane lands in Oolong Town.
"So this is Oolong Town. But, what makes it float in the sky? You don't think
it'll fall, do you? Well, let's search for the Star Stone."
There are 5 Star Pieces in this Front Area. They are:
1. Behind the phone booth on the left.
2. South of the landing pad. Butt Slam the area between the star on landing
pad and the orange wall in the foreground.
3. In the bushes to the right of the main building's entrance.
4. Behind the counter in the Juice Bar.
5. Under the picture of Golden Hawk on top of the Juice Bar. Butt slam the
blue switch to make stairs unfold. Use Nokotaro's shell attack to retrieve
it.
There is also a Power Plus P Badge on top of the Juice Bar in the treasure
chest. To the left of the Juice Bar front door is a Shokuhakuken. There is
also a Shine near the door that we can't get yet.
The items in the Item Shop are: (from L to R)
YuraYura Jishin - 15 Coins
Kaminari GoroGoro - 12 Coins
DekaDeka Drink - 15 Coins
Teki Yokeru - 15 Coins
Irekaeru - 5 Coins
Super Mushroom - 15 Coins
The hot dog guy will sell you 1 Hot Dog for 10 Coins.
Enter the main building.
Before you enter the door that is straight ahead, walk left to the poster of
two Bob-ombs. Butt slam the ground in front of it for a STAR PIECE. Now,
enter the center door on either the first or second floor. This is the ARENA.
Your partner says,
"Wow, this is great. Look, Mario. A match is just starting."
Gold Hawk says,
"Playtime is over."
He jump kicks his opponent in the face.
"Come on worm! Don't you want this? You should have stayed at home if you
didn't have the will to win. If you want to beat me you are about a billion
years too early."
The blue guy in the hat, Macho Guns, says,
"The champion! What are your thoughts on this fight?"
"This wasn't a fight. Don't you have anybody who can challenge me? Is there
no one here who wants to fight me? You are all worthless. I will challenge
anyone. This pathetic thing here should go home and play video games like a
big boy. I am number one! I am the champion! Guhahahahaahha!!"
Gold Hawk holds up the championship belt. Your partner says,
"Mario, look. Isn't that the Star Stone? That's definitely it. So that's where
it is. What should we do Mario? It's not like we can go in and steal it.
What should we do? (Steal it/Become a champion) (I chose BECOME A CHAMPION)
You can become a champion no problem. I'll cheer you on. OK, let's
become a fighter. Oh, I'm getting nervous. Let's go talk to the person in
charge."
Talk to one of the blue guys with yellow hair blocking either of the side
doors. They say,
"Huh? You want to become a fighter? You should talk with Guns then. He's the
promoter. Guns's office is straight ahead. Go on in."
He moves so that you can enter the door. If you enter on the right side jump
in the blue box with the star on the side. Inside is a Pinch de Mamoru Badge.
All of the doors are inaccessible except for the door to the left of the
door with the lock on it. Enter it and talk to Guns.
"Who are you? This is my room. I am Guns. So, you're not aware that
knocking before entering is good manners? Fighter? You want to be a fighter?
Ah, people who want to be fighters are always welcome. Our fighters here are
all young, powerful, energetic and hungry. I worry a little about you. You
seem a little thin and old. But, you want to live the high life of a champion
don't you? (Yes/No) OK. No problem. When I was a young man I never had
any money. But, I dived into the fighting world and finally emerged as a
champion. Nowadays I don't get in the ring but I have more money than I could
ever think of using. As you can see, my dreams came true. If you believe in
your dream strongly enough the day will come when it is no longer a dream.
You understand? Hey, follow me."
Mario follows Guns down the hall and into another room.
"Well, what do you think? This is the Championship Room. Isn't it gorgeous?
If you become champion this room is yours. And of course there's a lot of
money to be made. This super rich perfect life is waiting for you."
We jump quickly to another room.
"This is the other fighters' room. You can't really say it's gorgeous but it's
clean enough. I look out for my fighters' conditions."
Back in the office...
"I think you understand and are ready to become the number one champion. It's
hard to become a champion but it is precisely because it is hard that the
challenge has meaning. From the way your pupils sparkle I can tell you have
the fighting spirit. You have what it takes. So, please sign your name on
this contract. It's just a formality. Will you sign? (Yes/No) OK. Mario
is a good name. But as a fighting name it has no impact. Ah! I got it. Your
new ring name is the Great Gonzalez. It's a good strong name. Ok. I have a
knack for naming people. From now on you are the Great Gonzalez. I am looking
forward to your fights. Now you are all set. Where is Kinoshikowa?"
Kinoshikowa enters.
"Did you call me, boss?"
"This is our newest fighter, the Great Gonzalez. Please take him to the
fighter's room."
"Yes, sir. Please follow me. I have something to tell you as a new fighter.
What the boss says goes. You must obey what he says. Also, as it says in the
contract, you cannot cease being a fighter until the boss gives you
permission. There are many other various rules but I will explain those at a
later time."
She leads Mario into a room.
"This is your waiting room. You will be starting from the 2nd class. If this
dingy room isn't to your liking then try your best to quickly reach the 1st
class division. You access this computer (GBA) to begin a fight. The boss
decides who you are going to fight against. It is no use to complain. Press
the A Button in front of the computer to access it. Then choose Start Fight
(First choice)"
Walk to the computer and press A and choose the 1st choice. Guns appears on
the computer's screen.
"Hello Gonzalez. So, you're ready to fight already. You have a good fighting
spirit. For your debut fight you will be up against the KuruKuri Brothers.
What? They're too easy for you. Maybe you are speaking too soon. In order to
liven up the spectators you MUST use your Appeal command at least once.
Kinoshikowa will fill you in on the details. Good luck!"
Kinoshikowa says,
"The match is set. Please wait here until someone comes for you. The first
team to reduce their opponent to 0 HP is the winner. If you defeat someone of
higher rank than you, your rank goes up. But, lose to an opponent lower than
you in rank to fall in the ranks. Winning normally is not an option. You must
follow the boss's instructions. This time you must use your Appeal command
at least once. If you fulfill the condition you can go on to the next match.
Once you reach 11th place you can fight for a chance to join the 1st class
division. My explanation is over. Do you understand? (Yes/No) Ok. Please wait
here until someone comes for you."
A guy in blue enters and says,
"Gonzalez, if you're ready follow me."
Talk to him to enter the ring. Guns introduces the teams.
"First we have the 'Stone Heads from Space'. The KuruKuri Brothers. And we
have a new face, the Great Gonzalez. The KuriKuri Brothers have already
entered the ring and we are just waiting for Gonzalez. KuriKuri Brothers,
how is your condition?"
"We're gonna tear this guy to pieces. Gonzalez, right? He's a cocky little
rookie to make us wait like this. We're gonna have to teach him some respect
for his betters. You better call an ambulance."
"Oh, the Great Gonzalez has entered the arena. He's a new face but he has a
strong heart. Ok, Gonzalez, let me explain the rules again simply."
An anxious Goomba attacks Gonzalez. The fight starts. Mario's partner says,
"That was dishonest of them to attack before the bell. Let's beat these guys
down."
The Goombas say,
"Hey newbie. That was a special present for keeping us waiting. Hope you
liked it."
After the battle Guns says,
"Gonzalez wins. What's your impression of the fight? (It was close/It was Ok/
No point in discussing it) That was a good battle but I am expecting an even
more exciting match next time. A new hero is born. Everyone give a big hand
to the Great Gonzalez."
Back in the waiting room Guns says,
"That was a good battle but if you want to be a pro fighter you need to work
up the crowd more. I'm waiting for an even more exciting performance next
fight. Got it? Now, if you'll please excuse me, Kinoshikowa will give you
your fight money."
Kinoshikowa says,
"If you want to fight again please use the computer. You can also check your
ranking at the computer. (choice #2) Until the next fight you are free to
move around as you please. Now, if you'll excuse me."
Kinoshikowa leaves and a yellow turtle guy talks to you.
"Hey, rookie. How was your first fight? My name is Michael. I'm a member of
this waiting room also. Nice to meet you. I hope we can be friends. That guy
over there (the bob-omb) is Okutoru."
Okutoru says,
"Nice to meet you. I'll give you some advice. Like Kinoshikowa said, it really
is important to follow the boss's orders."
Michael says,
"Okutoru's advice is useful sometimes, so feel free to talk to him."
Okutoru says,
"Not sometimes. Always."
Michael says,
"That guy over there in green is Prots."
Prots says,
"Hi. I'm not usually in this room but when I am please talk to me. Also, that
bed over there will refill your HP and FP. The bed in the Championship Room
even refills Star Power."
Michael says,
"The last guy is GanGan."
GanGan says,
"I don't want to be friends."
Michael says,
"Yeah, he's not a very friendly guy. That's all of us. If you need anything
please ask. We'll be fighting soon probably."
Refill your energy at the bed and save in the hallway if you'd like. Now
register for the next fight. Before the fight Guns starts referring to you as
the Executioner from Hell, the Great Gonzalez.

After the fight Michael says,
"You're really good. I lost but I'm going to win next time."
Register for your next battle and fight. After the battle Michael says,
"You returned Gonzalez. Did you win this time too? You're strong, huh? I
wish I had your luck."
Kinoshikowa enters the room with Prots behind her.
"Hurry up and get in here. Why do you keep getting in the one place I said
was of limits? You have to observe the rules if you want to stay a member
of this arena. Also, stop following right behind me. It's really creepy. If
you don't listen to me this time you will be expelled. Got it?"
Michael says,
"Again, Prots?"
"Yeah, the nag caught me."
"Don't worry about it Prots. She always acts like she's better than anyone
else. Don't take it to heart. But, why do you follow that girl around? You
don't have a crush on her, do you?"
"Stop it, will ya? Well, I'm off again."
Prots leaves. Register for your next match.
After the match Gonzalez takes 16th place. Michael talks to you yet again.
"Wow, you won again. You're the most promising new fighter that I've ever
seen. And because I say it you know it's true."
Red exclamation points appear over all their heads. It's because of the voices
that are heard in the hallway. Michael says,
"Sounds like they're taking someone really injured to the hospital. This is
the Arena, so it's nothing new."
Register for your 15th place fight. Fight. And then, after the fight Michael
talks to you again.
"The Oolong Town Hot Dog Stand has a new menu. According to the rumor, this
hot dog uses a strange egg obtained from an island down south. They say that
you will win your match if you eat one of those hot dogs. You should try them
at least once."
Register for your 14th place match. After the fight Michael talk to you.
"Do you know? Sometimes the great Beppin visits the Oolong Town Juice Bar. I
really want to get close to Beppin. You should go sometime."
Register for the 13th place match. Fight. Win. Michael says,
"I'm thinking that maybe I should retire. This seems about as far as I can go.
This will be my last battle. It's a little sad, but it's the right thing to
do. I like you so please don't forget all the boring things I said."
Register for your 12th place match. Fight. Win.
Register for your 11th place fight. Fight. Win.
Back in the waiting room the bob-omb and the stone guy are talking.
"It's lonely around here without Michael."
"All that happened is that the wimp went home. No loss."
Kinoshikowa brings a new fighter in to the room and explains all about the
computer. It's pretty long and identical to the speech she gave Mario. The
new fighter introduces himself.
"Hello, everyone. I am Orich. Nice to meet you."
The guys comes to escort Orich to the fight and he leaves. Exit the main Arena
building and go to the hot dog stand. The Hot Dog cook is chasing an egg
around.
"Help. The egg is running away. Somebody please catch it."
Eventually it lands on top of the Hot Dog truck.
"The only way to get up there is to fly. I'm really going to have to think
hard about how to get up there."
Go the Airplane Panel on top of the Juice Bar and fly to the top of the Hot
Dog truck. Talk to the egg. Mario's partner says,
"You want us to save you? (Save him/Don't save him) Is it OK with the hot dog
guy?"
"Yeah. An egg that hops all around is not really appealing so you are free to
go. Bye."
"You want to come with us? What should we do Mario? (Take it with us/ Leave
it)OK, you can come along but don't get in the way."
Walk towards the main building and you will get the second issue of the
Hoodlum Town Times by mail. Enter the main building and go in the hallway and
make your way back to the door with the lock on it. Kinoshikowa is standing
in front of it.
"So we don't know if anyone has been able to get in here or not."
"That's right Kinoshikowa. But, I heard a noise from inside there."
"Ok, please leave it to me and return to your post. And don't mention this to
anyone."
She spots Mario watching her.
"What do you think you are doing around here? You shouldn't go where you have
no business."
Return to your waiting room and register for your 10th place fight. In the
ring Guns asks for your condition. (So-so/Perfect/Fart sound) You cannot win
this fight so try not to waste too many items or too much FP and Star Power.
After the battle return to the waiting room.
"Where did the egg go? It just disappeared all of a sudden."
"Hey, I'm over here. Gonzalez, thanks to you I was able to safely hatch from
the egg."
"You hatched from that egg? So that was a Yoshi egg."
"You want to be champion, right? And find the Star Stone. When I was in the
egg I heard everything that you said. As a way to repay my debt to you I
would like to fight along side you. I can swallow any enemy whole. So, if
you want to make this job easy, let me join you. My name? Well, I was just
born so I don't have a name yet. You saved me so I think you should name me.
Something cool."
And after you name him...
"Well, it's so-so. I'll probably come to like it though."
****************************************************************
* YOSHI JOINS YOUR PARTY *

* Press X to ride Yoshi. He runs much faster than Mario can. *
* Press the A Button while riding Yoshi to make him float *

****************************************************************
Register for the 10th place battle again. This time with Yoshi as your
partner. Use Yoshi's Swallow command to defeat the opponents.
Back in the waiting room Kinoshikowa says,
"The boss wants to see you. Please follow me."
Gun is seen stuffing something into a desk drawer as we enter.
"Sir, I brought Gonzalez for you."
"Kinoshikowa, have you forgotten your knocking manners?"
"Sorry, boss."
"It's OK. So, what is this about? Oh, yeah, Gonzalez. Congratulations, you
made it to the first class division. I told you I could spot a rising star.
I'm looking forward to your next powerful, exciting matches. And, I'm going
to give you a present. (Get 30 Coins) I've noticed for a while that your
costume is cheap looking. I'll tell you what. If you become champion I'll
buy you a new costume. Something pink with frills. It'll look nice on you.
Ok, you're free to go."
"Please follow me. This is the 1st class division waiting room. Please use
this room from now on. All the rules are the same as in the 2nd class
division but the battles are more difficult. Now, if you'll excuse me."
She leaves and Yoshi says,
"It doesn't look like we're going to get a warm reception here."
Gold Hawk enters the room.
"Listen up! I heard that there was someone who is speeding up through the
ranks. Huh, it's you Gonzalez? I never would have thought it from looking at
you."
"What, Gonzalez? Oh, the champion belt..."
"What are you staring at?"
"I don't understand it but I think that this Star Stone is a fake?"
"What do you think you're trying to prove saying my belt is a fake. Fighters
these days have absolutely no manners."
"Sorry. I didn't mean that your belt was a fake."
"This isn't the ring so you are safe now but I'm going to rip you two apart
when we get in the ring."
Gold Hawk leaves.
"I guess we made him mad. However, the Magic Map definitely showed that the
Star Stone is in Oolong Town. If it's not the championship belt, where is
it?"
Mario gets mail.
"Gonzalez, you got mail. Who's it from?"
[If you want the Star Stone you must follow my instructions from now on.
From, X]
"Who is X? But if X knows were the Star Stone is then that is good. But, it
seems kind of suspicious, huh?"
Check between the two banks of lockers for a Kouri no Ibuki item. Register for
the 9th place match. Fight. Win.
Register for the 8th place match. Fight. Win.
After the 8th place fight, Mario gets mail again.
[Go to the Juice Bar near the Arena.
From, X]
"X again. So we should go to the Juice Bar near the Arena. But, who is X?"
Go to the Juice Bar and talk to the owner.
"Gonzalez, I've been waiting for you. A little while ago a letter and package
were put outside the store for you. The letter said to give you the package
when you came here. Here it is."
*****************************************************************************
YOU GOT THE SUPER HAMMER
Your hammer attack power is increased. And you learned a new technique. Hold
the B Button and rotate the control stick to wind up. Let go to do a spinning
attack. Do you want to do it again? (One more time/That's enough) The spinning
attack can destroy the large yellow blocks, too.
******************************************************************************
The barkeep says,
"Wow that's the new 2004 model. That is a great hammer especially in the
craftsmanship of the grip. It's said that this hammer is used by masters. It
must be a present from one of your fans. But, why would they leave it here?
You would think they would hand it to you personally."
Mario gets mail again.
[Break the block in the 2nd class division waiting room.
From, X]
"Break the block in the 2nd class room? I wonder if there is something there?"
Go to the 2nd class room and use the spinning attack to break the yellow block
and reveal a room. There are papers on top of a bookshelf. Climb on the top of
the computer desk and use Yoshi to fly to the other side and get the
Suspicious Document. Mario reads the paper.
"Gonzalez, that's about the Star Stones. So somebody did a scientific inquiry
into the Star Stone. There's even pictures. But who and why? Something about
this stinks."
Leave the room and Kinoshikowa sees you.
"Hey, you. What were you doing over there? You are 1st class fighters now. You
shouldn't be in here. And why did you break the wall? I'll be confiscating
this."
She takes the Suspicious Document and leaves.
"Can you believe her? After we went through all that to get that report. But
at least we know that the Star Stone has to be here in the Arena somewhere."
Go back to the 1st class room and register for the next fight. You will be
fighting the 9th place fighter. So, even after you win you are still 8th
place.
Fight. Win.
Register this time for the 7th place bout. After you defeat your opponent the
opponents from your first match with Yoshi will jump in the ring and challenge
you. Defeat them with Yoshi the same way as before.
**It might happen at different times for different people but this is the
match where my possible spectator number increased to 100 and the fighting
stage got larger. This is helpful for getting Star Power back.**
Back in the waiting room, Mario get a mail message.
[If you go any further your life is forfeit.]
"That kind of threatening mail is different from the ones X sends. Now who was
that from?"
Register for your the 6th place match. Fight. Win.
The turtle guy in the suit of armor says,
"Hey, Gonzalez, Kinoshikowa brought this cake in for you. It's from a fan."
"Yum, looks delicious. We'll get nice and strong if we eat it. Do you want to
eat it?" (Yes/No)
All of your tiredness has been relieved. Register for the next match. You have
to fight the 7th place opponent so your rank won't increase.
Register for the 5th place fight again. After you win, Bowser jumps in the
ring and challenges you. Mario vs Bowser. Classic. After the battle Mario
becomes 5th place. Mario's partner says,
"I was really surprised when he jumped in the ring like that."
Register for the 4th place match. Fight. Win.
After the fight, Mario gets mail again.
"Gonzalez, you have mail again."
[Go to the phone booth in Oolong Town.
From X]
"Well, let's go to the phone booth. But, where is the phone booth? Let's walk
around and look."
Gold Hawk stops you in the hallway.
"Gonzalez, I have a piece of advice for you. If you are thinking of besting me
you are going to regret it. So if you value your life.....Hahahahah!"
Gold Hawk runs away laughing.
"That was pretty threatening. Wait, threatening. You don't think he wrote that
mail message, do you? Well, whoever sent the mail, we should be more careful
from now on."
Go to the phone booth next to the Item Shop. Go there and pick up the
Storeroom Key. Mario gets another mail message.
[Go to the storeroom next to Guns's office.
From, X]
"Go to the storeroom in the Arena? I'm getting sick of this 'Go here' 'Go
there' stuff."
Go to the locked door next to Guns's office. Use the key and enter. ChuChu
Rina is inside.
"Mustache man, we meet again."
Yoshi says,
"You're Mario's friend. From looking at you I'd say you are a thief. You
weren't by any chance the noise that people have been hearing from this room,
were you?"
"No. I would never make a stupid mistake like making a sound.It wasn't me. But,
it does look like somebody has been around here. Well, I have what I came for
so I will bid you adieu. It's time to say goodbye Mustache man."
ChuChu Rina gives Mario a kiss. Yoshi is jealous.
"Only Gonzalez gets a kiss?"
"In this Arena there are many suspicious areas. That kiss is so you don't end
up like those above. Goodbye Mustache man."
"Ah, she's gone. What was that kiss like? I want to be a grown up. By the way,
what did she mean by the 'people above'?"
Mario gets a mail message.
[Find the switch and hit it for the stairs to the 2F.

Use Clouda to blow at the boxes to reveal blocks. Break the blocks on the left
for the switch to the room above and the blocks in the right for a Charge P
Badge. Go up the stairs. The door on the right is inaccessible so go left. Hit
the block for a SHINE. Use Yoshi to cross the gap between the wooden boxes.
Use the spinning attack to break the large yellow block. Use Yoshi to get the
Heart Feru P Badge. Jump down the hole.
Walk right and hit the A Button when you see the exclamation mark in order to
listen in on Kinoshikowa and Guns's conversation. Guns says,
"So, no one has been in there. Right?"
"Right. The lock is shut tight. Don't worry. I am in charge of it. It was
probably just a mouse."
"No problem. The most important item isn't in there anyway. Good job. By the

start floating around the fans will stop coming."
"As you wish."

"Um, well, I don't know anything about it."
"Hmm, OK. You are free to go."
Kunishikowa leaves and Guns says,
"Lately the number of good fighters is dwindling. Gonzalez is the only good,
powerful fighter that I have."
Back in the ceiling...
"Did you hear that, Gonzalez? Fighters have been going missing. I thought that
Michael retired and went home..."
Mario agrees and Guns hears. He says,
"Is someone there?" (ChuChu/NyaNya/Kyuchan)
I chose ChuChu. It's a mouse sound.
"Oh, just a mouse. I thought somebody was spying on me. I should get back to

Guns leaves. Back in the ceiling Yoshi says,
"That was close. Guns s
