==Mario's Story==
===Prologue: Onward to Creation Island!===
====Daisy Cruiser====
In the luxurious ride in Daisy Cruiser, Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Toadette and Toadsworth are enjoying the cruise, with Daisy being the captain of the cruiser. The latter one announce that the Daisy Cruiser will arrives at the Vieno Harbor, the harbor near the Creation Island Plaza.
The the following scene can be skipped which is useful for players who does not have patience. If skipped, Peach will reminds Mario to search for Luigi.
:Luigi: Its-a really nice from-a Daisy to let-a us board in her Cruiser for-a free, and even give-a us VIPs restroom!
:Peach: Yes, Luigi. In any minutes, we will arrive in Vieno Harbor, a harborthat is near the Creation Island Plaza.
:Toadsworth: We should be careful about it Peach. Even on vacation, Bowser could still run after you! Do you remember about what happened in the latest vacation in Delfino Plaza?
:Peach: Do not worry about it, Toadsworth. As long as Mario is with us, I am sure that Bowser will not caused too much troubles for us.
:Toad: Yeah! And beside, Bowser is not very smart on his own! He's a bit too cocky to even beat Mario! Well except once, when he got the Star Rod the first time against Mario, but Mario and Peach make up for it by...
:Toadette: We know the good old story, Toad! But you know, its not like he goes speechless for whatever reason during the Sticker Festival, or spinning around to make Black Paint, he learned from those.
:Toadsworth: I hope he really does. I hope that other villains will also mind their own business this time. But it seems odd that Slanito haven't caused troubles or allied with us since some weeks ago...I got a feeling that either he really redeemed himself, or he is taking vacation, or if not, up to something really nasty like Bowser usually do!
:Luigi: Oh, no need-a to worry! Sure, Slanito can be-a more threatening than-a Bowser sometimes, but he is also-a overconfident! He's-a not scarier than Bowser anyway, but Mama Mia, imagine if he could-a conquer the Mushroom Kingdom!
:Toadsworth: I can say that all of the repeated troubles from Bowser and the...questioned effectiveness of our Mushroom Retainers had really made him snapped, but let's not talk about him or Bowser or any other of those pesky villains, we should focus on our visit. And even if one of them will cause troubles, Master Mario will handle the situation. Right?
Mario nodded in agreement.
:Luigi: (Slightly vexed) Eh? But what about-a me?
:Toad: Well, I know you goes side-by-side with Mario more often, but we start to worry about the ungratefulness of people who you saved, with the exception of the Ghosts at--
:Luigi: (Jumped) Mama Mia, thinking-a about it, I think I should-a stay safe and...*sigh* Lemme get-a some walk-a...
Luigi leaves, and the others are worried.
:Toadette: Uh, Toad, I think you shouldn't said it...alright sure, I do know that the Ghosts at the mansions are happy that Luigi saved them, but for the rest I guess we should not talk about those ungrateful people, whoever they are.
:Toad: (Troubled) Whoa whoa whoa, alright, I didn't meant to hurt him, really! S-sorry...
:Toadsworth: Well, the poor guy was unlucky at times, and boy, I never felt so guilty for his bad lucks...
:Peach: This is true, but I know the two who are more ungrateful and need some disciplines. The two other plumbers, one greedy and another cheatsy, and I had a feeling that they are even more unlikely to learn their mistakes than--
:Toadsworth: Now, now, your majesty! I think we should relax now. Master Mario, could you search for Luigi and reconcile him?
:Mario: Oh, yeah!
Mario jump off of his chair, and leave.
:Toad: And say him sorry from my part!
:Toadette: Toad, do not worry! In case that Luigi come back, you can always apologize him.
:Toad: Eh, thanks Toadette.
Once Mario had found Luigi in the back dock, Luigi will feels more assured.
:Luigi: Thanks to-a you to see me, bro. But let's be honest; not everyone is-a grateful once you saved-a them, and some are-a just-a worse than-a others. Toad is right about that, but still, could-a the people start to know-a their mistakes of any kind?
----
If you said Yes...
:Luigi: They really-a should! Its-a big mistake to be-a ungrateful! If you continue-a to be-a ungrateful, the hero will stop to help-a you, one-a day or-a another! And, well, unless an-a entire city is-a ungrateful, friendlier citizens will not be-a happy when they-a see-a this!
Mario nodded in agreement.
----
If you said No...
:Luigi: (Shocked, then angered) Mama Mia, you are-a not helpful, brother! Don't-a you-a know it!? If the-a people refuse to be-a grateful, soon or-a later, the heroes will-a be mad at them and there-a multiple possibilities; leave-a the place, for-a best or for-a worse, leaving the citizens their-a own troubles to handles, or worse, the heroes will-a be evil at their own turn!
Mario is shocked upon hearing that.
:Luigi: Oh, sorry, bro. but its kinda-a true. Daisy told me-a this once; "People who are-a not grateful will not be-a better than the-a loony villains, boy!"...Phew, now thinking about-a it, lets-a not dig too deep-a about that.
Mario nodded in agreement.
----
:Luigi: Welp, thanks for-a giving me-a support. I may be-a a lone loser, but as long-a I helped and that-a you are always there-a for me, I will-a not give up!
:Daisy: (Intercom) Al-l-right, fellas! This is Daisy calling you! We had arrived at Vieno Harbor, thank you for your enjoyment and please do not forget your baggage! See you next time!
:Luigi: Oh ho! I think-a we should-a hurry up, Mario!
Mario nods in agreement. He and Luigi are leaving the screen. But a small funnel is shaking, revealing Wario and Waluigi.
:Wario: Bwa! Hack-ack-ack-ack-a-ack! This is-a your idea, Waluigi!
:Waluigi: Hey, I rather not-a getting troubles with-a the guards, fatty!
:Wario: Yeah, yeah, whatever! Now lets-a hurry up and get outta here before Daisy or anyone else will-a see us!
:Waluigi: (Blinked) Waah! Good point! Geronimo!
Waluigi accidentally slapped Wario while attempting to get jumped off the funnel and dive in the water.
:Wario: Hey!! (Angered) Wait-a for me, loser! I'm-a gonna splash on you!!
Wario jumped off next, going to land on Waluigi. The latter one noticed the shadow.
:Waluigi: Waa!? (Panicking) Wario, don't-a--
A loud splash can be heard in the Vieno Harbor, jumping off everyone.
:Daisy: Whoa! What was that!?
:Toadsworth: I do not know, but it seems to be a big splash in there! I hope that it is not someone!
:Daisy: I better move up then! Thanks me later, and see ya!
Daisy ran off in order to investigate.
:Toad: I hope that she knows how to use the life-rings and other safety measures...
:Toadette: This is not the first time that happened anyway, so she must be prepared for those before!
:Toadsworth: Yeah, even though she was a bit overconfident when saving people, but no drowning records known so far, so lets not too preoccupied about this and proceed to the Creation Island Plaza, shall we?
:Peach: Indeed. Here we go!
The six proceeds to the Plaza. Some voices are heard in one of the boxes once the six had been unseen, with two Pinata reveal their disguise as they turned out to be Kamek and Kammy Koopa.
:??? 1: Grr!! How long are we supposed to wait? Kamek! Kammy! Use your spell to get us out, will ya?
:??? 2: Yeah! I'm getting bored right now! Really, really bored!
:Kamek: (Quite nervous) Alright, alight, I will hurry up and make it quick, your roughness!
:Kammy: (Enthusiastic) At your pleasure, your brutality!
The duo had used magic to open the big box, letting out Bowser and Bowser Jr. of there.
:Bowser: Good, and about time, too! But don't forget the Koopalings in the other box. Sure, they are bothersome as you cannot believe it, but because they are still part of my next plan, so I will be fair and order you two to let them out too!
:Bowser Jr.: Heh, those little wannabees- Oh I mean elites better be ready for that one!
:Kamek: Look I know that orders are orders but--
:Kammy: Don't babble and let me do the task, will ya? Nya ha ha!
Kammy used magic to open the other box, letting the Koopalings fell out of the box, which in turns wake them up.
:Larry: Whoa! What in the world...
:Morton: What just happened?
:Wendy: Ouch! Watch it, will you?
:Iggy: He he he! Not my tail, that tickles!
:Lemmy: Oh, sorry Iggy!
:Roy: Hey, put your paws off my glasses, fellas! I had just polished it, it was yesterday!
:Ludwig: Hey, boys and girl! Hey! We had arrived in here! Bowser isn't going to wait a little longer now!
The other six had made their mouth shut.
:Bowser: That's right, big brain! Now here's the plan...
While their conversation can't be heard, a shadowy figure had been emerged from the alley.
:???: ...Humph, amateurs.
The mysterious figure had quickly vanished into a mere shadow, and follow the trails of Mario and co.
====Creation Island Plaza====
:Toadsworth: Here we are! The Creation Island Plaza, home of many Penciliers.
:Toad: Penciliers? Who are they?
:Toadsworth: They are people whom clothes resembles of pencils, crayons or pens. They also float instead of walking, despite having floating shoes.
:???: What is up ahead is the Great Power Pencil, used by a great deity who created and crafted the whole universe with it.
:Toadsworth: If I remembered, this is correct...wait, who said that?
Goombella shows up, and the others are pleasantly surprised to see her.
:Peach: Goombella! Its had been a long time we haven't met.
:Goombella: I would stay in Rogueport with Professor Frankly, but he had heard about the origin of the universe with the Great Grand Pencil recently, so here we are!
:Toadette: Well now! That magical thing sure had made people interested!
:Goombella: We haven't know that until Professor Frankly had found his dusty old book about the origin of the universe. I don't know everything in one shot, ya know!
:Luigi: Mama Mia, I can have-a a feeling that its been-a too quiet, aside of people having-a nice talkie! I don't see how it start so easy!
:Toad: Luigi, what are you talking about?
:Toadette: Well if I remembered, its a moment like this I had a feeling that in such a nice day, someone or something will trigger a trouble!
:Toadsworth: (Happily laughed) Toadette, I'm afraid that since I don't feels that Bowser is around here, its not possible!
:Goombella: Well here is a problem; I should said that before, but Professor Frankly was disappeared and--
The others were shocked upon hearing Goombella's bad news. Then suddenly, the place had gone progressively darker. This had made the citizens also worried.
:Luigi: I don't-a think something like-a this happened, but what is-a going on!?
Bowser, Bowser Jr., Kamek, Kammy and the Koopalings are behind one of the buildings.
:Bowser: Nice cast of shadow! But its not dark enough for me to sneak in! At least this will be a good one to introduce myself!
:Kammy: Are you certain, your grumpiness? I believe it came from somewhere else!
:Kamek: Yeah! And even if I can do this, I swear that it wasn't us!
:Bowser Jr.: (Seemingly scared) Poppa? Who-who could cast such a massive shadow?
:Bowser: I dunno, and this is quickly odd, thinking about that! Hey, Koopsers, make a ladder and see what is going on!
:Morton: Koopsers?
:Larry: I'm certain that he talked about us!
:Ludwig: Of course he does! Hurry up, let's make a ladder!
The Koopalings make a ladder, but inconveniently, from bottom to top, it goes from Roy, Larry, Ludwig, Lemmy, Wendy, Iggy and Morton.
:Bowser: I had feeling that they might fall! Not the best order for sure!
:Morton: Hold on! He's not wrong! Look at us! I'll just jump out into this building and...
:Iggy: Uh, Morton, are you sure-- Oh!?! No wait!!
Morton jumped off in order to get on a top of a building and succeed, but the other Koopalings fall off.
:Bowser Jr.: They are really incompetent, right dad?
:Bowser: Well, yeah son, but no reasons other than deserting and too-many-betrayals would make us boot them out! We don't want to have more enemies than the amount of troopers we have, or else it can become hinderful!
:Kamek: (Thought speech) Even if I do wished that they better get off...they are less competent than they are used to be and either they better start to watch themselves, or they get out...
:Morton: Whoa, master! Something's going on over there!
:Bowser: Tell me quick, you bozo!
:Morton: I am sure you will not be happy but I will tell anyway!
Back to Mario and others, a shadowy figure, seen as before, show up and succeeded to break the forcefield that guarded the Great Power Pencil, with a smaller one tripped and fell. The citizens are scared by that and made a step-back for their safety.
:Peach: Oh no! Who is that person?
:Goombella: Never saw that guy before, but he might be powerful!
:Luigi: Mama Mia!! Mario, do something!!
:Mario: (Voice) Lets-a go!
Mario approach the figure, who turns out to be a being in a heavy coat, with its face covered, only its eyes seen.
:???: Well, well...it isn't the magnificent legendary hero Mario.
:Toad: (Scared, whispers) How-how did he know Mario's name?
Toadette covered Toad's mouth and shushes, not wanting to had the mysterious person annoyed.
:???: I will reveal myself... I am the Giant Thief. For precision, I don't usually steal giants... Now step away unless you wanted to get hurt.
Multiple citizens had whispered their concerns, but an NPC Toad had commented "He's not even so giant...", noticing the Giant Thief's actually not huge, but just a bit taller than Mario.
Warning! Giant Thief, the Feared Shadow
Mario had nevertheless put himself in a battle pose, showing his defiance.
:Giant Thief: Going defiant, I see? Don't expect an easy victory then!
----
(Rigged) Tutorial Battle starts!
BGM: Mighty, Naughty Giant Thief
Giant Thief, ??? HPs (Actually 999 HPs. Shall the player somehow attempt to reduce his HP to 0, it will be stuck at one HP, making this battle's only choice is to lose this battle.)
:Toadsworth: (Shouting) Master Mario!! It have been a long time that you haven't been... in this kind of battle... should I remind you of how to Jump, Guard and Superguard?
----
If "Yes" is selected...
:Giant Thief: Seriously? The battle was about to start! Just make your explanation quick, old man.
:Toadsworth: (A bit nervous) Eep, I guess I better make it simple. Mario, try to start with Jumping. Select the icon with a shoe which represent your boots you use for Jumping.
:Toadsworth: (Wrong selection) No, no, I said "Jump". The one with the shoe.
:Giant Thief: (Run selected) Ha ha ha! Why running already? This is not the hero everyone know about you!
:Toadsworth: (Jump selected) Alright. Now select him.
:Toadsworth: Press the A button when you are about to stomp him.
:Toadsworth: (Successful) Yes, like this! Now another one!
:Toadsworth: (Three hits successful) Wow! Now you know how to do it!
:Toadsworth: (Failed) Oops, I'm afraid that your timing is a bit off.
:Giant Thief: Well now! It hurts, but my power will hurts more. How about a little of this?
:Toadsworth: He is going to do an attack. To guard, press the A button at the correct time to reduce all damage at 1. Some stronger attacks will have their dealt damage up to a halve, but attacks like this are exclusive to bosses- I mean powerful foes.
:Toadsworth: (Freezing the screen, before the Giant Thief could strike) Now!
:Toadsworth: Very good, Master Mario! Now, let me show you how to Superguard. Its more difficult than regular Guarding, but it will also negate all damages and status aliments! Contact attacks from enemies will also be counterattacked! You need a more precise timing to make it successful--
:Giant Thief: Hush, you there! Let me attack him!
:Toadsworth: (Freezing the screen, before the Giant Thief could strike) Now, Master Mario!
:Giant Thief: (Getting hit by a Counterattack) Oomph! Now that's a self-defense!
:Toadsworth: Well done, Master Mario! Now go give this little freak a good lesson!
:Giant Thief: Me? A lesson? I learnt more than one lesson to succeed, old man. Now that you are out of this scene, let me introduce my true power!
----
If you choose "No"...
:Toadsworth: Oh, I suppose that you actually remembered them! Good luck then, Master Mario!
:Giant Thief: Is the old man thought that you are forgetful? Oh, never mind, that will not help you to stop me! He ha ha ha ho ho!
:Giant Thief: (After taking enough damage) Enough! If you refuse to get out of my way, then I'm afraid that you will force me to introduce to you my true power!
----
The Giant Thief had spread shadow everywhere, and his eyes and mouth are seen, which scared Mario. After the shadow had dissipated, the Giant Thief had gained very huge proportion.
:Luigi: Mama Mia! Now we-a know why he is-a Giant Thief!!
:Peach: Mario! Brace yourself!!
After Mario getting defeated, the others started to get really worried, except Morton who is just plain surprised.
:Peach: Oh no! Mario!!
:Luigi: Mama Mia!!
:Toad: Eeek! He's that huge and powerful!
:Toadette: This is certainly not good! Eeek!
:Goombella: Oh my Goomba goodness!
:Toadsworth: Blimey!! Master Mario, are you alright?
Mario is twitching, but seems injured.
:Giant Thief: So...is the legendary hero really that legendary? HA! Not so much! Now if you excuse me, I will bring the Great Power Pencil to my master, Monsieur Masteurpiece! So long, Mario, as well as the rest of you!
The Giant Thief vanishes from pure shadow. The tutorial battle had ended. Luigi and the others jumped in the platform, being shocked and worried about Mario.
:Luigi: Mario! Speak to-a me, brother!
:Toasworth: He is only knocked out, but boy that was such a powerful blackout!
:Goombella: This is not good! If the situation cannot be solved, then the situation is going to go worse!
:Peach: We need to bring Mario to a hospital! There is one over there!
Luigi, Toad, Toadette and Goombella picked up Mario and bring him out of the theater.
----
Back into a roof where Morton is found.
:Morton: Holy Monty Moley!!
:Bowser: (Shouting) What the heck is it, Morton!?
:Morton: The Giant Thief had grown to a giant size and successfully beaten up Mario! He even escaped with the Great Power Pencil!!
:Bowser: Well, I never thought someone would beat Mario so easily and-- (Take, then roaring mad) What did you said!? He escaped with the Great Power Prowess Thingy!?!
:Kamek: Well, I'm afraid that it really is the case, seeing that what the Giant Thief said...
Bowser was about to roar, but reminds himself that he and the others could get spotted.
:Bowser: Grr-- Wait a sec', if I roared, then the others will hear us and we will get detected... Well then, get back here, Morton, and as of everyone, we better find a better plan! Kamek, show those Koopalings some boot-camp training like you sometimes do!
:Kamek: Wait, again?
:Bowser: That's the order! You know how much those nitwits are getting worse than usual!
The Koopalings are shocked to hear that. Even Bowser Jr. and Kammy are not pleased to hear that.
:Ludwig: (Whispers) Well that is unfortunate...
:Kamek: Seesh, alright. If you said so...
:Bowser: But this poor plaza is obviously not a smart place to plan! We better skedaddle-waddle out of here before anyone sees us!
:Koopalings: Right, your nastiness...
:Kammy and Kamek: Alright, your rudeness.
:Bowser Jr.: Sure thing, papa.
Bowser and the others runs out of the area. In the meanwhile, at the Plaza Hospital, Luigi, Peach and the others are waiting in the Waiting Room, worried about Mario's state.
:Luigi: Is...is Mario going to be alright?
:Medic Toad: He is hurt, yes, but he is only knocked off conscious. After a good rest, however, he will be right on his feet very soon!
:Peach: This is a relief...phew!
:Toadsworth: (Insured) Thanks the great stars! But how would be able to deal with the big darn thief?
:Goombella: Mario himself may not be able to defeat that freak, but even without the Great Power Pencil, there is still hope.
:???: This is what am I going to say, Goomba girl!
:Toad: Hey, who said that?
:???: Let me have an honor to introduce myself; the greatest hero of the Creation Island, the bravest of them all, the leader of the fearless Creation Cavaliers... I will protect this island under the name of Grabiotic!
Grabiotic show up himself, which shown to be a crimson Omodonmeka/Grabbing-Bot, and gloriously jump in the middle of the Waiting Room but clumsily tripped into that spot instead. Medic Toad is not pleased of that awkward moment.
:Medic Toad: Hey! This is not a theater, you know? You could get hurt and I don't want to lose my time to get another patient! My patient is not always thin with reckless people, for your information!
:Grabiotic: (Clumsily) I'm-I'm sorry, didn't know that!
:Luigi: Uh...Creation Cavaliers? I-a actually heard of that team from a comic book, but I-a didn't know that you-a lived in here!
:Grabiotic: Well, mister green mustache, is there any connections between the Creation Cavaliers and the Creation Island?
:Goombella: Well then of course! You are the guardians of this Island then, if I am correct!
:Grabiotic: Absolutely! Say, where is the famous legendary hero that everyone is talking about in this recent time?
:Mario: (Voice) Ya-hoo!
Mario jumps in the scene, much of Luigi, Peach, Toadsworth, Goombella, Toad and Toadette's relief.
:Grabiotic: Ah! There he is!
:Nurse Toadette: Yes, and he only have been unconscious, but after a nice rest, he had recovered his energy and confidence!
:Toadsworth: By the guardians of the stars, thankfully, you are alright, Master Mario! That treacherous thief should not do anything about the Great Power Pencil, nor whoever is that crooked Monsieur Masteurpiece!
:Grabiotic: Monsieur Masteurpiece!? The dreaded number 1 enemy of the Creation Cavaliers and the Creation Island's most wanted outlaw?
:Toadette: Well, we don't know who is this guy as we never saw him and the Giant Thief had only mentioned his name, so maybe.
:Grabiotic: Yes, that's the Giant Thief who is working for that crooked! We had defeated Monsieur since years but with the Giant Thief as his newly hired second-in-command...eeh, I have to say that it become one-sided in favor of them...
:Peach: So you faced him and got defeated?
:Grabiotic: Actually yes, sadly. We have faced that criminal but once he gained an enormous height... we sure that it's not for nothing that he is called Giant Thief.
:Luigi: (Worried) Mama Mia! We shall-a not wait then! We must-a get back the Great Power Pencil before they-a make messes with-a that!
:Grabiotic: I would obviously say that, minus the Italian accent. But we do not know where Monsieur's Mansion is, as it is actually a flying mansion that move at anywhere. We should pin down the first position of where are they potentially going, and for waiting, investigate the place where the Great Power Pencil was placed.
Two peculiar voices had been heard outside.
:??? 1: It would be a lot-a simpler if they-a placed in a more secured place!
:??? 2: Yeah! And now we must-a do something-a quick before-a others will notice!
:Grabiotic: What are those voices?
:Toadette: Oh ho... I got a feeling that I know those twos...
Toadette jumped off her chair and take a peek at outside.
:Toadsworth: Toadette, where are you going?
:Toadette: I will only take a peek to see what is going on! (Listens to the conversation.)
:??? 1: If those losers got-a the Great Pencil Power or whatever-a they called-a it back, we will-a lose-a chances to get-a treasures!
:??? 2: And my-a dreams of championships of every-a sports will be ruined!
:??? 1: Let's-a investigate that silly place then, so we will-a get clues! Wa ha ha!
:??? 2: Yeah! And then we will-a chase the bad guys! Waaaa-onderful!
:Toadette: Oh ho, its Wario and Waluigi!
:Peach: Oh no, I had a feeling that they will causes troubles in here...
:Toad: But how they get in here!?
:Luigi: We must-a not lose time! I better-a hurry up before they-a make a mess! Come on, Mario!
:Mario: (Voice) Hm-hm!
Luigi and Mario run of the Waiting Room and leave the hospital.
:Goombella: Hey boys, wait up!
Goombella followed up Mario and Luigi.
:Grabiotic: (Confused) Egad! What's the big rush!?
:Toadsworth: (Discouraged) Something tells me that those reckless running signify that those greedy scoundrels are up to something bad...
Mario, Luigi and Goombella are searching for Wario and Waluigi. It turns out that they are in the place where the Great Power Pencil was kept, but this time a floating, comparatively smaller pencil was roaming around them.
:Goombella: Hm? What is this?
:Luigi: Its-a not the Great Power Pencil, its-a too small for that!
:Unknown Voice: (Playful) Small!? Now you were asking for it!
The pencil is playfully drawing doodles on Luigi's face, much of Mario and Goombella's dismay.
:Luigi: Eh!? Whoa-a-a-a! Get it-a off! Get it-a off! Mama Mia!!
Luigi's faces was scribbled with drawings of a Goomba, and then Luigi running away from it.
:Goombella: (Slightly angered) Hey! Not funny!
The floating pencil is gleefully laughing from its prank.
:Mario: (Voice) *Shrugs* Mama Mia...
:Luigi: What-a with the laughing, pencil-- Mama Mia! Its lives!!
:Wario: Wa ha ha! There-a she is!
:Waluigi: In-a-coming! Waaaaa--
Waluigi is tripped and fall in the fountain, face first.
:Waluigi: Blbbblbblbl!
:Wario: Wa ha ha ho ho ho! What a such a reckless lanky partner he-a is! Now, its-a Wario who's gonna win!
Wario rushes but Mario was about to block him.
:Wario: Outta-my-a-way, loser!
Wario attempted to shoulder rush at Mario, but he and Luigi jumped off his path.
:Wario: Argh! I-a missed!
Waluigi got his head off the fountain water and jumped at Luigi.
:Waluigi: Green-a 'stache! Give me-a...wah!? Wa ha...wa ha...ha ha ha ha!!
Waluigi laughes hysterically from Luigi's scribbled face. Wario saw that and laughed next.
:Luigi: (A bit maddened) Oh boy, I better wash-a my face quickly.
:Wario: Come-a on, don't be-a joy killer! Now where-a we? Ah ha yes, the pencil! Give it to me Mario--
The pencil Mario is holding had magically floated again, but this time it shines up and transform into a Pencilier with a dress and a princess hat.
:Wario: What!? A princess!? I don't-a rescue princess for nothin'! Go find a dungeon full of-a treasures so I have a reason to--
:???: You have no idea who are you talking with, mister crooked nose!
:Wario: "Mister crooked nose"!? Wargh! (Angered) And who the heck-a are you already, princess pencil-a being!?
:Rainizia: (Gleefully) Well, then, tee hee!~ I will present myself, I am Rainizia, Princess of the Creation Island and...
:Wario: Whatever, just give me-a power and-a...
Mario and Goombella stepped in, entering battle pose against Wario, the latter one not surprised.
:Goombella: (Angered) Listen up, you selfish fat guy! I only know you in my books, but you better leave us alone without violence, so please stop chasing...her!
:Wario: Well well! Looks like-a Mr. Nice-a Guy and his-a Goomba partner will play-a the heroes again! Well then, I, Wario, will not-a play nice at all! If you wanted-a trouble, then you-a asked for it! Wa ha ha! Waluigi! Come on in--
Waluigi was too distracted by his own laughing, while Luigi was washing his own face in the fountain.
:Wario: Bah, whatever! I'll take you-a on, like the-a bad ol' time! Waaa-rio time!!
:Rainizia: In this case, I will help the red plumber and the Goomba girl, to show some manners to this yellow meanie!
----
Forced Battle starts!
BGM: Wario Showdown! (Remixed Wario battle theme from Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins)
Wario, 15 HPs (Drops to 10 HPs if Hammer tutorial is skipped)
:Wario: Wa ha ha! I'm-a gonna win!
:Rainizia: Mario, before you will start, I have a special power that you can use. First things first, I'll give you those!
Rainizia had given Mario the three default Drawing Cards; one Green Shell, one Fire Flower and one Falling Star.
:Wario: Eh? What are those-a stupid things?
:Rainizia: I would thought someone ask questions like this! Those are Drawing Cards, and you can use them for extra arsenals. All you have to do is to draw the outline (or repeatedly press the A button if you are not good at drawing...) to make it work, that's it! Magic! You'll need me, and make good use of them! They are reusable, but you can only use five at a time, and planning ahead is a better idea!
She transform into a pencil that Mario can use.
:Rainizia: (Still a pencil) One more thing! Each Drawing Cards costs the Drawing Points, so keep your eyes on them! You will regain some of them after defeating enemies.
:Wario: Wah! Enough with the-a chitty-chatty talkie-walkies stuff! Come at-a me, Waaa-rio!
After dealing 3 damages at Wario...
:Wario: Aaargh!! That's-a hopeless spot right-a now! But I gotta surprise for-a you, Mario and Goomboulette!
:Goombella: That's Goombella, if you please-- Oh ho!
Wario pack up a Hammer and attempt to throw it at Mario.
:Wario: I hope-a you remember how to-a use it, stinker!
----
If "Of course!" is selected...
:Wario: Bah! I'll show-a you how to throw a Hammer-- Whoops!
During the "Whoops!" part, Wario had thrown up in air and the hammer had landed on his head, causing two damage on himself.
:Wario: (Cringed by pain) Wa-wa-ow-wow-wow, my mighty head!! That-a hurts!!
The hammer then fell in front of Mario.
:Goombella: Wow, this guy's sure is clumsy!
:Wario: Did ya said clumsy!? (Get angered) I'm-a show-a ya who's the clumsy guy in-a here!!
----
If "I don't think so..." is selected...
:Wario: Wa ha ha! Then catch-a this!
Wario had thrown the Hammer but ended up to missed both Mario and Goombella, and instead hit Waluigi, the latter one yelp in pain.
:Wario: (Sarcastically) D'oh I missed! Wa ha ha!
:Waluigi: Waa!! Take-a it back, you fat weirdo!
Waluigi attempted to throw it back at Wario but ended up to land just in front of Wario.
:Waluigi: ... (Disdainful) Phwaaa...
:Wario: (Sarcastically) Neat throw, skinny-a kangaroo!
:Goombella: That Hammer doesn't seems to really his...wait a minute! That Hammer is Mario's!
Mario took a look and then became angry at Wario.
:Wario: Hey! Its not-a my fault if you forgot-a that in Daisy Cruiser!
Mario shrugs.
:Goombella: I will instruct you how to use it, in case you need to remember that! Just hold the left control stick to the left, then release when the last light had been turned on!
After a successful Hammer hit...
:Goombella: Nice one Mario!
:Wario: Alright, enough! (Steaming) You-a really need-a lesson from me, and then I will-a put a bucket on your-a head!
:Goombella: I guess we better take him out before he will cause more damage...
----
After Wario gets defeated...
:Wario: Ouch, ouch, ow! Okay, okay, I'll let-a you wins, but next time-a Wario will not-a lose again! Come on Waluigi, lets-a pursue the Giant Thief!
:Waluigi: (Not impressed) Bah, I got-a bored quickly from watching you-a lose anyway! Outta my-a way, Waluigi Time!! Wa ha ha!!
Waluigi had made a mach speed run.
:Wario: Wargh! Not without-a me, ya skinny hypocritical cheater!
Wario also ran at mach speed.
:Goombella: I know that the skinny guy can run fast, but for a fatso, so can Wario!
Rainizia show up herself again.
:Rainizia: (Charismatic) Let's not mind them for now and let me present myself now that they are gone; I am Princess Rainizia, Princess of the Creation Island and also protector of this place. That being said, by responsibility got a bit easier ever since the Creation Cavaliers had been funded.
:Goombella: Well, this is something we should know about it. Not that I didn't know about it of course, I did rood a book about this place and--
:Rainizia: So you actually know this place well? This is actually nice!~ Anyway, since I am waiting for a legendary hero to help saving the Great Power Pencil, I will help out--
:Grabiotic: Grabiotic at your service!
Grabiotic had jumped and landed right in front of Mario.
:Mario: (Voice) Whoa!
:Goombella: Eek! Watch it!
:Rainizia: That is nice, Grabiotic, but I talk about the other Legendary Hero this time. In other words, Mario!
:Grabiotic: (Seems vexed, then get back to his proud and strong pose) Wait-- I thought-- Well then, after all, I can always gives a chance to a hero fellow, since now I remember that I am supposed to tell the others to pin down the position of Monsieur Mansion. Our lower ranked and higher ranked Cavaliers alike will help you along the way! Good luck Mario!
Grabiotic then turn at Mario, whispering at him.
:Grabiotic: (Whispering) By the way, Mario, if you had questions before you go, I'm always at the base, at the eastern part of the plaza. Not that I needed your help or anything, but I would always appreciate it. (Proudly shouting) Creation Cavaliers, over and out!
Grabiotic had jumped out of the scenery.
:Rainizia: What a guy. He's may have a big ego, but he never intend to be mean with anyone, since he is a nice Grabbing-Bot. Anyway, there is something I must tell you before we could even start our journey.
:Toadsworth: (Off-screen) What just happened?
Toadsworth, Peach, Toad and Toadette had arrived in the scene. Luigi had finished washing his face off the scrabbles.
:Luigi: Wario and-a Waluigi had almost messed-a up with anything-a here, but my-a big bro and his-a Goomba partner had-a shooed them away.
:Peach: Those two doesn't seems to change much...say, who is that cute princess?
:Rainizia: (Flattered) "Cute princess"... No need to say that! Ha ha ha!~ Anyway, I am Rainizia, royal princess of the Creation Island. Now, there is something I shall tell you.
----
Flashbacks on the seven large, floating crystals. At each dialogue, the seven places with a Creation Crystal are vaguely revealed.
:Rainizia: Those are the Creation Crystals... said to maintain the island and kept it from being modified by any means by mean-spirited people as well as preventing the Great Power Pencil to be put outside of this island... Not even the deepest darkness had been capable to penetrate the island thanks to them... but those are not indestructible... Shall we break them, they will temporarily lose their power and we had to wait a whole day before it can recover into a full crystal again... But shall all seven of them breaks at once, the island will become vulnerable, and the Great Power Pencil can be removed from the island... until the Creation Crystals are brought back to normal and the Great Power Pencil had been returned to the island, that is.
----
The screen returns back to the normal scene.
:Rainizia: The truth is, Monsieur Masteurpiece may look likes a brute, but he is actually savvy and competent. He knows about all of those facts and he will make another attempt to send his men to break the seven Creation Crystals so that he will modify the island, and then modify the whole universe to his own taste!
:Peach: This sounds awful! Wait, that wasn't the first time that Monsieur had attempted to do such malicious act?
:Rainiznia: (Vexed) Of course. Even after many defeats, he seems to be terribly persistent... wait, did it reminds you of someone else?
:Luigi: That's-a Bowser who's the-a usual villain. There's-a others usual such as Tatanga, Wart, King K. Rool, Shake King and his shadow Bandinero King, as well-a some one-timers such as Shadow Queen and Dimentio, and Fawful, and even the most-a recent twos, Slanito P. Toad and Richard B. Mole!
:Toad: But no one caused as much troubles as Bowser, and no one had attempted to make the universe into his universal empire except that big ol' mean Koopa King!
:Toadette: We could also say Wario and Waluigi as the bad guys but they are not as troublesome nor evil as those whom we said.
:Rainizia: Yikes! That's a lot of villains already! I hope that they will not come here to make troubles!
:Toadsworth: Do not worry, they surely do not know this place at all.
:???: You were saying?
A huge shadow show up from the south, and the camera switched side to see who it is, which turns out to be only the Bandinero King, much to everyone's surprise.
Warning! Bandinero King, Tricky Thief
:Bandinero King: The Shake King had told me about this place, and somethings tells him that the artifact had hold infinite power from his old book!
:Luigi: Mama Mia, not-a you again!
:Goombella: Had you met him before?
:Bandinero King: Now if you excuse me, the Bandineroes and I have an important thing to do! Let's roll up, boys!
The Bandinero King and his big army of various Bandinero underlings had ran thorough the route, which caused quite a shaking scene.
:Toad: Yikes! That was such a marathon!
:Rainizia: Then in this case, we have no time to lose! Hurry up Mario and Goombella!
:Luigi: (Confused) Eh? But what about-a--
Mario, Goombella and Rainizia had rushed to the western.
:Luigi: Mama Mia... looks-a like Luigi had to be-a behind again.
:Peach: Do not worry Luigi, you could had an adventure on your own while waiting for your brother to return.
:Toadsworth: But Princess, its not that Luigi cannot handle his own, which he actually can handle his own, but...
:???: (Off-screen) Outta my way! I need to hurry! Sorry!
A Shaper had running through the route.
:Shaper: Excuse me mister! I need to go back to the Cubic City and quick!!
:Luigi: Cubic City?
:Shaper: Its not far from this plaza from north!
The Shaper had been out of sight does to his constant running.
:Luigi: Now that's-a a place Luigi should-a visit! Yahoo!
Luigi had running through the same route to the north.
:Peach: Be careful Luigi!
:Toadsworth: Well now! I hope he will get recognition after that! The poor fellas had been on his brother's shadow for too long again. Shall we explore somewhere else for waiting?
:Peach: I had known a place where no one had fully explored this yet... we should talk to Grabiotic where it is first.
:Toadsworth: Very good, but you shall not go without me for your safety.
:Toad: Can we go with you?
:Toadette: Yeah! It might be fun!
:Toadsworth: Well it might not be safe at all--
:Toad and Toadette: (Gleeful) Please say yes! Can we? Can we?~
:Peach: Yes, of course! Promise us to not separate from us, understand?
:Toadsworth: Oh well, if the princess accepted, I cannot say otherwise. I don't think we shall let you two here anyway!
Toad and Toadette jumps in joy.
----
End of Prologue.
===Chapter 1: Operation Wash-Out===
====Rumble Road====
The player had to go through the Rumble Road until reached a forked path.
Mario, Goombella and Rainizia had noticed an isolated Bandinero.
:Bandinero: Shoots! I lost my tracks! If the Bandinero King noticed that I had separated from them...
:Goombella: Hold it right there!
:Bandinero: (Startled, turned at Mario and friends) Ack! No wait, I-I-I am not prepared to fight solo against you three at the same time! And for a second, I thought that you were Bandinero King or Shake King, or worse, Monsieur Masteurpiece or the Giant Thief or even those heinous duos!
Mario had talked in gibberish.
:Bandinero: Yes, Wario and Waluigi. The latter one is not as threatening but his kicks hurts alot, but Wario is far more dangerous! I mean, he can throw us, shoulder bash us, perform crazy and painful wrestling moves on us, shaking the ground with the Earthshake Punch to immobilize us and then wreck us, use wild transformations against us and even fa--
:Rainizia: Alright, alright, I think you would spoke too much...
:Bandinero: No, that's actually not what you thought I would say! I actually meant that he faked his moves to let my guard down, and then he shakes me like crazy, and I lose all of my coins as a result!
:???: (French accent) Well, that man can do loony stuffs... Oui, this man had faced one of my old friends, the Shake King...
:Bandinero: Wait, you know that glorious king of ours!? And who are you!?
:???: Hon hon hon! Not usually a time to show myself, but with Rainizia with the red plumber, zis is time to show myself! Attention!!
The mysterious figure had fallen fast and kicked the trees, causing those to fall on the right path of the road.
:???: Hon hon hon hon ha ha hon hon! Zis quite done quick an' it iz not for nothing that I am ze most wanted outlaw of this little supersaturated island!
:Rainizia: Oh ho... that voice and that Frenchman accent... It must be him!
:Bandinero: What? Who? Where?
:Goombella: Is it that crooked snot!? The one who stole the Great Power Pencil!?
:???: Crooked snot!? Watch your mouth, grande bouche! When you talked like zis, you shall know that you shall not talk the greatest, strongest and most fearsome artist in the whole world and the whole universe!
Mario was confused as he cannot see him yet. Neither does the rest...
:Rainizia: (Tranquil anger) Monsieur Mastuerpiece... I knew that you was behind this, as usual.
Monsieur Masteurpiece had finally showed up himself.
:Monsieur Mastuerpiece: Mais oui! As if it isn't obvious enough?
Warning! Monsieur Masteurpiece; Artistic Mastermind
Does to Monsieur's similar physique, Mario and the Bandinero are in total shock.
:Monsieur: Quoi? Is it ze perfume of the forest? It iz not so bad! Its fresh!
:Bandinero: By my bandanna! Not only you are a friend of the Shake King, but you looked like him, except the beard's blue instead of yellow!
:Goombella: And I expected some kind of a scary creature! I mean, sure, he is scary, but I did not expected something human-like!
:Monsieur: Well, for your little information, darkness and light iz not always your foes, petite girl! I can control water... genuine water!
Monsieur had made a large sphere of genuine water that looks like from the real world and not from the Paper world. He simply dropped it on the ground, putting a hole on that ground, but thankfully, no one had made contact with it. The objects near it had also become soggy.
:Goombella: Yikes! This is worse than the Black Paint!
:Monsieur: Yes! Not even the Black Paint is able to resist the true water from the other world! At least with sufficient proportion of the latter one. Well now, I have to hurry up, ze Giant Thief is waiting for me at the Mansion! Au revoir! Hon hon hon ha ha ha ha haw haw haw!!
As he evilly laughed, he jumped out of the sight.
:Rainizia: This is indeed worse than Black Paint. Not even Bowser shall approach this! Everyone should know that already!
:Bandinero: True Water... Brrr!! Now this is a pure sign that this game's story had gone serious already! Alright, what am I supposed to do now that he is gone for now? Ah yeah, see ya suckers!!
The Bandinero had jumped over the logs that blocked the right path.
:Goombella: Whew, what an immature fella. But at that point, he got a point. We better hurry up, Mario!
Mario jumps in agreement.
Upon reaching the Rumble Road's left road dead-end block, called the Blocking Mountains...
:Mario: (Voice, disappointed) Oh ho...
:Rainizia: Looks like we cannot advance further. Those Blocking Mountains have their name because... welp, it block almost anyone's path.
:Goombella: And this will take two entire months to dig through those mountains with only shovels. And there is nothing to help us... except maybe that corked Warp Pipe.
:Rainizia: Mario, would you uncork the Warp Pipe? It may lead us to the location where the first Creation Crystal would be!
:Mario: (Voice) Oh, yeah!
Upon uncorking the Warp Pipe, an earthquake was heard... there are loads and loads of Shy Guys bursting out of the pipe, with only a yellow one and a blue one landing in front of Mario and friends!
:Yellow Shy Guy: (Contrary) Ow, ow ow! Bluie, looks like our plan had blasted! We better make another and better plan quickly before we would get spotted!
:Bluie: (Annoyed) Its obvious, Yollie! I told you that there's too many of us at a time for this Warp Pipe!
:Yollie: (Also annoyed) Yeah, but who in the world put that stupid cork to block us!?
:Bluie: I think I saw a spherical, footed guy with a bandanna who put that cork.
:Yollie: Darn it! Its a Bandinero, the main men of one of Bowser's rivals! You know, the Bandinero King, or whoever the true leader is!
:Bluie: Well they look even familiar to Galoombas too! And while I was thinking, do you ever got a feeling that the Goombas are jealous of our recent versatility?
:Yollie: I got a feeling that they started to be. And speaking of spotted as I said it before... (Feign insurance) Oh hello, Mario!
:Goombella: What are you two doing?
:Yollie: Top secret operation! Nope, nada, not a chance!
:Bluie: Call us cowards if you want, but this is because of a top secret reason! Incoming!!
Forced battle with a Yellow Shy Guy and a Blue Shy Guy. After that...
:Bluie: Aw great, we failed... again!
:Yollie: Do not worry! What's important the most is that we still didn't tell anything to the pesky plumber and his partners! Did ya hear it, Mario and company? We still cannot tell anything!
A Green Shy Guy pop up from one of the mountains, seemingly the same Green Shy Guy who got busted out of the Warp Pipe.
:Green Shy Guy: (Almost not heard, only in very small text) Yeah, losers! You would never know that we would find the Great Power Pencil from whoever-his-name, ordered by the mighty Bowser!
:Yollie: What is he saying?
:Bluie: I think I know-- (Shocked) Oh ho!
:Green Shy Guy: (Shouting, in very big text) I said that you would never know that we would find the Great Power Pencil, ordered by the mighty Bowser!!
:Goombella: (Shocked) Bowser!? That meanie?
Mario had facepalmed.
:Rainizia: (Deadpan) Based on Mario's reaction, it must be him.
:Yollie: Greener, you blew it up! Nice job, idiot!
:Blueie: *Sigh* Looks like we would be on hot water... or with Bowser's case, scalding water.
:Greener: (Back to small text, very nervous) Oh wait... oh ho... (Hides away)
:Yollie: Well, since we got beaten up and got the plan spilled, there's no point of fighting them again!
:Blueie: Good point! But I do wish that I work for Wart again than with that spiky-shelled brute!
The two Shy Guys had run away.
:Rainizia: Well, so much for troopers! I don't think that Bowser had properly trained them enough... about their own common sense!
:Goombella: I cannot really blame them either. Bowser's lack of psychological endurance had something to do with their clumsiness. Now, up to that Warp Pipe and see where it would led us to, shall we, Mario?
:Mario: (Voice) Here we go!
Upon getting in the Warp Pipe, the trio had landed in Precut Town. In a meta way, the places and backgrounds looks like cardboard and is simplistic in term of color.
:Goombella: Look at this place! Its looks... unique.
:Rainizia: (Deadpan) Don't even bother to say anything that it actually really isn't. The mayor is cheap and make things as simplistic as possible. (Back to her cheerful demeanor) Well, all I can tell is that people isn't too pleased with the look of the city!
:Goombella: Well, that's explain a lot.
Upon finding a Pencilien Mayor, Cheapielot...
:Cheapielot: Ah, isn't it the magnificent Rainizia! Must been a good long time! And... say, that red plumber reminds me of someone...
:Goombella: Easy! His name is Mario, and--
:Cheapielot: No no no, I actually meant two people. The yellow and purple, greedy plumbers who smacked our towns after doing their jobs but then I... (becoming sorrowful) well according to them, "underpaid" them and wrecked havoc.
:Rainizia: (Playful) Cheap as usual?
:Cheapielot: Seesh! A prankster as usual. Listen, if you want me to help you, I want you to fix all of the damages in this town.
:Goomeblla: (Confused) Really? This will take a lot of time!
:Rainizia: Not with my special ability to draw and fix almost anything. Mario, would you like to use me to fix all of the damages? All you have to do is to Touch the GamePad on a shining object, and then draw the missing lines. You know the rest!
After the task being completed...
:Cheapielot: Well, well! You did the task! I will tell you, there is a lot of rumors recently about where the Creation Crystals are moved in this year. You know, they always get a new location every year, right?
:Rainizia: Correct. Most of these are proven to be false in the recent days, which is not very good news anyways. I cannot instantly know each of the place of each of the Creation Crystal, but I do react oddly like when I shine when I get near one.
:Cheapielot: I even refuse to hear rumors, as I don't want to waste money just to verify anything! I can not directly help you, but I know someone who could give you a hand. A sage who lives in the Multi-Layer Forest. A sage called Miraiclon, a Laddiebug who is highly proficient for fortune-telling and also able to know a lot of this island.
:Goombella: I hope she actually knows about where the Creation Crystals are, or at least one of them.
:Cheapielot: I do hope too! Those rumors are getting out of hand recently, and I will polish my pencil point very hard if I heard of another of that! I wish you good luck!
:Rainizia: As cheap as you are, I'm glad that you are still honest in a way. Mario, let's hurry up to the-- (Goes suddenly silent and looked stunned)
:Mario: (Voice) Hmm?
:Goombella: (Confused) Rainizia? Is there anything wrong?
:Cheapielot: (Surprised) I never see her getting so shocked that easily!
:Rainizia: (Vexed) I just remember that Monsieur Masteurpiece had blocked the road to Multi-Layer Forest...
:Goombella: The same road? Oh ho...
:Cheapielot: (Angered) Talk about a bad news! I will call the Creation Cavaliers to solve this problem, even if it would be expensive this time!
:Rainizia: They never need money for the job.
:Cheapieloe: I know! But I refuse to have a worse reputation than the one I got right now! Go to the road fork where the right path was blocked, and you would meet them over there. And good luck... again!
:Goombella: No need to give us many "good lucks", but I'm more than happy that you helped us... despite the little flaw you had!
:Cheapielot: Greedy, you said? Not as much as the two greedy plumbers whom nearly demolished the town!
:Rainizia: Of course, but I hope that you will not turn literally gold! He he!
The trio leaves, with Cheapielot actually being concerned this time.
:Cheapielot: (Shivered) That's not something I would really like to be! I don't wanted to be a statue!
Upon reaching the same road fork where the right road is still blocked by fallen trees, a quadruplet of a Kremling, Boo, Galoomba and Bully trying to pull of the fallen trees with a rope.
:Blue Kremling: C'mon! Pull! Pull like you mean it!
:Boo: No need to yell! It will gonna take more than our own strength to pull them off!
:Galoomba: Man I wish that we bring in a Sledge Bro.! Or even a giant variation of any of us, like my far-away cousin from Giant Land, Galiath!
:Bully: Hey, take it easy guys! I exactly called a big Buzzy Beetle ally to help us!
:Blue Kremling: I hope that it would be enough... (Head turned) Oh hey! Its her majesty Rainizia, a Goomba girl an' that red plumber people called Mario!
The other three stopped upon hearing the name Mario, hopping in joy and rushed to him upon arrival of Mario and others.
:Blue Kremling: (Contrary) Hey, hey, hey! Hold on!! (Shrugged) ...Well, better late than never.
:Galoomba: I must be hallucinated! Is that really you!?
:Bully: Of course he is! Who else could it be?
:Boo: A paper! I need a paper for an autograph!
:Goombella: (Impressed) Mario is sure is that famous nowadays.
:Rainizia: Must be something to do with the legends about him!
:Blue Kremling: (Laughing) Ho ho ho! This is something I wish to be! Well, now that we met, I got a bad news and a good news. The bad news is that even with our terrific strength, we just cannot get rid of just one tree log! Disillusioning, I know!
:Rainizia: Well, this is discouraging, indeed! ...And the good news?
:Blue Kremling: We will have a big Buzzy Beetle as a back up. Him alone would be able to pull one log at a time, or even a load of them! Say, Cavalier Bully #139, who's name of that Buzzy Beetle?
:Cavalier Bully #139: Lil' Buzzer! Why?
:Blue Kremling: LIL' BUZZER!? Are you kidding me!?
:???: Relax, guys, I am not that small despite the name!
A slight rumble from each step is heard and felt. It turns out to be a very large Buzzy Beetle.
:???: Lil' Buzzer, AKA Cavalier Buzzy Beetle #395, at your humble service!
:Blue Kremling: (Stunned) Oh! Never mind. The Cavalier Bully's the one who called ya, so I'll give him the honor to order you for this time.
:Cavalier Bully #139: Right sir! Cavalier Buzzy Beetle #395, you need to pull all of the logs our of the right path's way!
:Lil' Buzzer: Alright then! Here comes some force of a Buzzy Beetle!
After the screen fade to black and then faded back again, we see him being attached to a rope which then tangled to all logs.
:Blue Kremling: For your safety, stay out of the work at adequate distance, and please let Cavalier Buzzy Beetle #395 to do the task!
:Lil' Buzzer: Anyone are far enough? Then here it comes! Glory for Creation Island!
Lil' Buzzer used all of his strength to pull out all of the logs out of the path, thus unblocking the right path of the fork, thus permitting access to the Multi-Layer Forest.
:Lil' Buzzer: There we go! Nothing better than a good pull from me and my hard shell!
:Rainizia: Now that's what I talk about! We can go into the Multi-Layer Forest and ask Miraiclon, the sage of the forest, to know where is one of those Creation Crystals.
:Blue Kremling: Wait, you need the sage's help? I would like to escort you there-
The Blue Kremling's phone had rung.
:Blue Kremling: Oh! Its' for me. (Pressed on a button on the phone) Yes? Hello? ...Oh dear, that stupid old-schooled artist...
:Rainizia: (Confused) Monsieur Masteurpiece?
:Blue Kremling: (Concerned) Hold on, I'm not finished gathering information yet from Grabiotic, your majesty! ...Sorry, a little interruption from her majesty, Princess Rainizia... "Bowser"? Famous for holding the world record of kidnapping attempt? And he is searching for the Creation Crystals too? With his twerp and his no-good minions!? RIGHT NOW!?! Me and my men are coming then!
The other Creation Cavaliers are visibly shocked.
:Goombella: (Confused) What is with the Bowser stuff?
:Blue Kremling: He is going to use the Creation Crystals for his own use! Not shattering them unlike what Monsieur Masteurpiece wanted to! We must hurry and search for that crook! Creation Cavaliers, we must head back to the headquarter to make a plan!
:Other Creation Cavaliers: Roger that!
:Blue Kremling: Now if you excuse me, we had to hurry up right back to the headquarter for now! If you need us, we would be there with our leader, Grabiotic! Creation Cavalier Lieutenant #14 Kremlio, over and out!
Kremlio and the rest of the Creation Cavaliers had left the place.
:Mario: Hmm?
:Rainizia: Using their own power!? This is immensely sickening!
:Goombella: She doesn't seems to be alright... Let me check my handbook... Nope, they only mentioned "a grave danger", and that's it!
:Rainizia: Well, if you really wanted to know, we will talk about it later! We shall not waste any time! We need to continue and head to the Multi-Layer Forest!
:Mario: Oh yeah!
:Goombella: Alright! I guess we could talk about it once we at least secured the first Creation Crystal!
:Rainizia: That would be a fitting deal! Now to the forest, go, go, go!
The trio had hurriedly rushed in the forest. In the meanwhile, a particular shadow of a particular flying plant was seen, heading to the same forest...
====Multi-Layer Forest====
Upon reaching the river, where the small temple can be seen...
:Goombella: Look at this! A temple... I hope that Miraclon is in there.
:Rainizia: I'm sure he is. At least most of the time. Well, what are we waiting for?
:???: Waaaait!!
:Mario: Oh ho! (Hides in a bush)
:Goombella: Mario, what's is with you?
:Rainizia: I heard crooks coming! I think we should hide in the same bush!
Goombella and Rainizia does so. The two large sized henchmen turns out to be Giga Lakitu and King Boo.
:King Boo: Hurry up, Giga Slowkitu! Even my old friend Petey is faster than you! Hee hee hee hee!
:Giga Lakitu: (Angered) Ha, ha, ha, very funny. And where is that numskull?
:King Boo: He's just flying around, seeing if he could smash, pound and eat anyone who Bowser told him to defeat.
:Giga Lakitu: Isn't usually my job to escort the sky?
:King Boo: ...Now thinking about it, yeah, but I cannot help but to think if Bowser is a little hurry right now!
:Giga Lakitu: He's always in a hurry.
:King Boo: Aaaah, good point. But still... now just keep quiet, someone could hear us! We never know, someone could spy on us!
:Giga Lakitu: Yeah. Good thing he only bring just some of us as elites this time, or else Bowser's Castle will be completely defenseless!
:King Boo: You got it. Now hurry up, let's find that pesky Giant Theif, or whoever is with him!
:Giga Lakitu: (As the two leaves) Say, now thinking about it, I think we should really bring out King Bob-Omb, knowing his explosive temper, 'cause if he blew up in Bowser's Castle, the latter one would be so mad that he will use the poor King Bob-Omb as a first-strike bomb as punishment...
:King Boo: Don't 'cha worry, cloud rider! He will just produce many Bob-Ombs, like a thousands, in his own factory for the next Mushroom Kingdom invasion! ...If his factory is still intact and not blown up like the last time, that is.
With the two enemies left, the trio can now get out of their hiding spot.
:Goombella: (Relieved) Whew! That was too close!
:Rainizia: Yup! Now up to the temple!
:Mario: Oh, yeah!
Upon reaching the temple area of the Multi-Layer Forest...apparently, the temple seems empty.
:Rainizia:...Odd...Miraiclon is not here right now...
:???: (Ominous) Do not judge the room by its emptiness. It is a matter of being aware and prepared that you will avoid all traps and surprise attacks.
Mario, Goombella and Rainizia are looking around. However, they don't seems to really saw anyone else...
:Goombella: (Confused) Traps? I see no traps...
:???: In fact, the temple had no traps... but how about...
A Laddiebug, from the top, had jumped right in front of the trio.
:Laddiebug: Here?
:Mario: Mama mia!
This had also startled Rainizia and Goombella.
:Rainizia: (Remained startled... apparently) By Grambi! This is the third time of the week!
:Goombella: Well, talk about a quick welcome!
:Laddiebug: He, he, he! This old trick never failed, even during the valuable seventy years of my life. Now... my apologies for the same little trick, but I am aware that you should be more aware in this island. The enemies are more unpredictable than usual, like an horde of Goombas who learned to hide in a bush, no matter the size.
:Goombella: And you sure show us why. We better look up next time.
:Mario: Hmm hmm.
:Rainizia: I can get behind it. Especially how sneakier the Monsieur Artists are getting right now!
:Laddiebug: (Stoking his beard) So, it had something to do with the fraudulent Monsieur Masteurpiece?
:Goombella: I'll say that's the case... (Surprised) wait a minute! You must be Miraiclon!
:Laddiebug/Miraiclon: Indeed. I had trained the first Cavaliers since when I was a young protector of this island. But now... I guess my old age had drained some of my vitality, as I'm afraid that I could not put up a fight without my staff, like an old, grumpy Kong with his cane...
:Rainizia: (Playful) I hope you got medical cares in this case!
:Miraiclon: (Roll his eyes, leaving a smug) Lady, as much as I am old, your little jokes doesn't make you stronger.
:Goombella: Okay, okay, I know you two had a little "who is better at what", but we got a reason that we are here.
:Miraiclon: I do knew that a hero would come here so I would help them out for their quest to save this island... and for what reason, in the case of you three?
:Rainizia: You see, its the usual thing; Monsieur Masteurpiece - or rather his new right-hand man, Giant Thief, in this case - had his hands on the Great Power Pencil. And I know that this is bad.
:Miraiclon: Not a rightful action to do, indeed. And seeing the signature "M", the Giant Thief works for him. I could not give you a perfect support does to my... messed-up memory, but I can still give you other matters to lead you to the right path.
:Rainizia: Sound good. Can you tell where are the Creation Crystals?
:Miraiclon: This question never had an easy solution, but I can provide clues about how to find them. Usually, they were hidden to places where people are not expected reach in there, and the more dangerous it is for the unprepared people, the more likely it will be there...!
:Rainizia: What? (Rainizia was lightly glowing...) Oh! I had a feeling that one is not far, but not that close, and apparently, it is underwater.
:Miraiclon: It is seems that your ability to detect nearby Creation Crystals is still in your possession! This is a good sign then.
:Goomeblla: Wait, underwater? I did not expect the first one of the group was being underwater, instead of something like a boring old plain--
The three other look at Goombella, uninterested.
:Goomeblla: (Worried) I was only saying, that's all! Sorry. Beside, nobody would like stuff repeated to the point of making it stale!
:Rainizia: Well, it would be a good change of pace for once for you and Mario.
:Miraiclon: (Nod in agreement) And this is only the beginning. Now, do you know more about it?
:Rainizia: Hold on... the only other thing I know is that it is in underwater ruins... and that's it, I'm afraid... hold on! It could be the Babbel Ruins! But it had been a long time that I haven't been there...
:Miraiclon: Let me point out the location of this place on your map...if you had one, of course.
:Goombella: No problem! I had one right in my-- wait-- (Droop down) Oh. Professor Frank had it with him before he went missing.
:Rainizia: And I suppose that we forgot the Tourist Center in the Plaza to afford a map.
:Miraiclon: Oh, its not such a bad situation, because I got a spare map just in case any poor Cavaliers who lost one. And as to point out, nobody likes backtracking, right?
Mario thought for a moment...and shakes his hand in decline, as if to say no.
:Miraiclon: Of course not, unless if it is needed to get back to someone you know had sufficient information about something new and that you can get on the previous location with little to no problems. Anyway, Babbel Ruins is it? First, here is your map, mister...
:Mario: *Italian Gibberish*
:Miraiclon: Mario, isn't it? The old legend as anyone in the world would know. Alright, Mr. Mario, please take good care of Rainizia, as well as the same spare map of mine. But especially Rainizia.
Mario got the Map!
:Miraiclon: Now, for the--
And then suddenly, Petey Piranha had randomly crushed in the temple and roared! This had understandably jumped Mario and the others out of fright.
Warning! Peter Piranha, the Plant Powerhouse
:Miraiclon: Eek! (Scuff like it was nothing) And who is this... titanic walking Piranha Plant?
:Mario: Mama Mia!
:Goombella: An old foe of him, no doubt.
:Rainizia: (Cover her nose) Yuk! I think he ate too much Gnawlics for breakfast!
:Petey: GWARBLE? GWAAR! GNARBLE, GRRAR GRWOF! (Garlics? Yuck! No thanks, Princess Pencil, because I got something better to eat!)
Petey was actually looking around, and then both surprised and pleased, he saw Mario.
:Petey: GRAWAR GARBLEBLE! GWARBBLE GROWF GROF! GARBLE GIRBLE! (Like this red plumber that somehow came here! We faced each others a good amount of times! I can still taste his red pepper-like taste in my mouth!)
:Goombella: (Scarred) ...I do not speak primal Piranha Plant, but looking at his behavior, he's after Mario.
:Miraiclon: Had no one told you not to ram on anyone's home through the roof? No hard feelings, but I do not permit you to harm the hero--
Petey Piranha had swiftly slapped him to a wall with his right leaf.
:Rainizia: Oh no! Sage Miraiclon!
:Petey: GRRR, GWAW! GWABLE? GNAWGWABLEBLE! (Beat it, old man! You are too... how can I say? Too ripe to the point of getting spoiled anytime soon for my taste!)
:Mario: Ya! (Get on his battle pose)
:Goombella: (Angered) You are right, Mario. We better stop this oversized plant before we will ended up to be his next meal!
:Petey: GRAGWAGWA! GNABBLE GWUBLE GWOA! (Gra ha ha! Let's see if you can stop me this time pipsqueaks!)
Petey unleash a disproportionately powerful roar. And by disproportionately, is this is because he would be a rather easy boss... despite ended up eating Goombella when Pinched.
----
Side-Boss Battle Commence!
Petey Piranha, 15 HP
If Petey had 7 HP left...
:Petey Piranha: GRAW! GARBLE GARBLE! ...AR! (Nooo! I could not lose that easily! ...Wait!)
Petey proceed to eat up Goombella, much to Mario and Rainizia's shock!
:Rainizia: Oh no! Goombella!
:Mario: Noooo!
:Petey: GRRRGWA? GWABLE RARBLE! ROOAR! (What was that? Missing your friend? Well, then hope you don't stomp on me bellybutton! He he!)
After hitting his bellybutton, or simply defeating him...
:Petey: GWAK--!! (Hak--!!)
Petey had spitted Goombella out.
:Goombella: EEeeeeEEE-YUK! What a big eater he is! Thank you for helping me out, Mario!
----
After a warm-up fight with Petey...
:Petey Piranha: GWAA- GRR! GARBLE GARBLE GERROM! GWAAA! (AAA- Hold on! I was supposed to search for the Giant Thief, not Mario! Petey, ya idiot!)
Petey is dumbfounded and slapped himself out of humiliation.
:Petey Piranha: GARBLE GARBLE-- GRR? GWARBLE GWARBLE! (Tell no one of this, and-- Wait, what am I saying? They won't understand me that easily!)
Petey hurried out of the temple, much of the heroes' relief.
(If Goombella was eaten by Petey...)
:Goombella: Alright, I won't lie, this big plant can be scary if you are not on your guard! And I think he need some fresh mint, in case he would get bad breath...
Mario nods.
(If Goombella wasn't eaten by Petey, in case that Petey was K.O.'d before he could even had a chance to get her...)
:Goombella: (Saddened) Poor plant. He may be not very smart, but he must had a tough life...
:Mario: Ho!
:Goomebella: You faced him before, and the only time he was threatening is when he was in a place called Port Prisma? I would like to visit there... And apparently, the more species are also moving there, with some Toads not happy with the lack of variation.
(Regardless...)
:Miraiclon: Oomph! My poor shell...
:Rainizia: Well, the poor old man is really out of shape now...
:Miraiclon: (Groan in pain) Yeah... I guess that I need to rest now... I am afraid that it is up to you three, now.
Miraiclon had fainted, and fell alseep.
:Goombella: So... What could we do now?
Mario had raised his hand, suggesting something.
:Rainizia: The red plumber is right! We need to focus on our objective. First, I remembered that I foresight that the first Creation Crystal is underwater... We should try to investigate at Marinama Beach, the nearest water-related place and its at the other end of the Multi-Layered Forest. We shall get there ASAP!
:Mario: Here we go!
Upon exiting and reaching the south-east section, a Bandit and a Bandinero were fighting for a sack.
:Bandit: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Can't you let me become honest for once!? My brothers who got banned of this kingdom had given my family bad names!
:Bandinero: Look, I had nothing personal against you, Brandot, but I need those Badges for my mates!
:Brandot: Well, get it off anyway, you little--!!
The sack had ripped in half, and all of the Badges contained inside was flung away, with one fallen behind a bush.
:Bandinero: Aaah, nice going, rubbish thief!
:Brandot: Look, I do not wanted to be a thief anymore. The Bandit species are on a serious decay ever since the more meaner one had stole even from us!
:Bandinero: Hoh, then good luck finding a better life! (Runs away)
:Brandot: Welp, back to the starting point...
Brandot had saddened and slowly walked away.
:Rainizia: Poor guy. He must be depressed from his bad brothers' bad crimes...
:Goombella: Hey look, a Badge behind that bush!
A Power Badge is seen behind the same bush.
:Goombella: Wait a minute... wouldn't it be stealing?
:Rainizia: We could simply give it back to the Bandit.
:Goombella: Now, now, hold it! What if he is actually a thief!?
:Mario: Hmm-hmm. (Nods)
:Rainizia: I do not know yet, but it is possible that he got it fair and square.
:Goombella: Hmm, I suppose so. Not all Bandits are crooks, after all.
Upon collecting the Badge (not able to be equipped as of now does to story reasons) and reaching the Marinama Beach...
====Marinama Beach====
:Goombella: Wow! Did you see that? There's a lot of species, especially Piantas, Nokis, and even some new species I've never seen before!
:Rainizia: Marinama Beach is a popular place for sunny fun and watery fun. Hey, its the Bandit over there!
The same Bandit, Brandot, had been seen on his shop.
:Goombella: Is that Bandit running his own shack? Ironic, doesn't it?
:Rainizia: Now upon closer look, I met this poor guy before. His brothers called him a disgrace for not being a thief but others minded their own business, tiring of losing more than they gain upon multiple attempts of thievery.
:Goombella: Well, its kinda shocking that one species are all evil or good, and act like only one person... think about it.
:Mario: (Thought deeply and...) Mama Mia! *Gibberish*
:Goombella: Mario, boy, I don't think you need to think THIS much! Now that's just scary!
:Rainizia: Focus on the Bandit over there and give the Badge back, shall we?
Upon reaching Brandit's shop...
:Brandot: Oh! Hello. Sorry, but if you were looking for Badges, then lets say that an incident had make it delayed, so yeah. No Badges, so sorry about that.
:Rainizia: Do not worry! We had something for you!
:Brandot: Look, if it is another prank, Rainizia, then I will just--
Mario show up a Power Badge.
:Brandot: Wait... Hey! Its one of the Badges that I found! You aren't kidding after all, your Majesty!
:Goombella: Well, you really had a fancy shop, why the Badges?
:Brandot: You see, the Creation Cavalier had helped my parents to recover some of their fair-and-square money, and both them and I are grateful for this. So to thanks them, I collected as many Badges as I can so they can buy them... but...
Mario had spoken in gibberish.
:Brandot: Yup. A spherical being they called themselves Bandinero who attempted to stole them! I tried to stop them, but our argument had ended us up to rip my sack apart, and all of my Badges are flung everywhere!
:Rainizia: Had you told about the Badges to them?
:Brandot: Not yet... and thinking about it, I am glad because if I told them and then this happens, and then they discovered that I had no Badges in store... let's say that they won't like it.
:Goombella: Oh boy, that is not my type of situation that I could handle! I don't run shops, for the first reason.
:Brandot: No need to tell more, girl. Hey, since you found it, Mr...
:Mario: Ho!
:Brandot: Hey! Its really you, the Legendary Hero that the world had talked about! Okay, Mr. Mario, since you were nice enough to bring it back for me, I will actually say this; you can keep it for free!
:Goombella: Really? No tricks, no extra bargains?
:Brandot: I am not thief anymore, so remember that! If you need anything else, you can buy anything here. Just make sure you had enough Coins!
:Rainizia: We all know how shops works, no need to tell more.
Upon exiting the shop...
:Rainizia: Say, Mario... Do you think that the Creation Crystal could be underwater from this beach?
----
If Mario had selected "But of course!"
:Rainizia: Yeah, well, I can tell you that it is not that nearby. If so, I will tingle more than usual!
----
If Mario had selected "Actually, I am not sure about that!"
:Rainizia: Yeah, that can be a problem. There is no further hint other than my ability to detect nearby Creation Crystals... But if there is anymore hints, then imagine if some scoundrels had been able to reach there!
:Mario: Oh ho!
----
Regardless...
:Goombella: And I don't think that asking people for where is a Creation Crystal would be an effective question...
:Rainizia: We can still ask people any underwater places. After all, there might be places that I never reached before! ...Mostly because my parents doesn't wanted me to go anything dangerous without a trusted hero to go any of there.
:Goombella: It sure it figures!
Brandot had suddenly bursted to outside.
:Brandot: Did someone said Creation Crystal!? ...Pardon me, I just wanted to be sure if my ears are correct...
:Goombella: Eh, stuff like that happens. What's up with the big rush?
:Brandot: I know an underwater place near the other side of the beach. The Deep-Deep Ruins! You need something to not getting drowned underwater, of course. I do not have any of that in my shop, which is unfortunate!
:Goombella: Don't fret, at least your information did help. Every single small details help if it do not hinder us!
:Brandot: Noice! I cannot go with you since I need to guard this shop and all, but if you run out of stock of my available items, you can drop in at any time! Ciao!
Brandot had returned into his shop.
:Rainizia: Nice guy, but a bit too eager! We must find a way to dive underwater without getting drowned...
Upon talking with a red-shelled Koopa with a wide hat...
:Wide-Hat Koopa: What? I don't like getting tanned. If you wanted any advice, then here is mine; if you see a floating creature, you know that a hammer do not work, so jumping on it will do! You do know? Nice, but what happens if you confront a spiky, floating creature? You need some attack that can hit flying target that do not require jumping. Here, have these!
The Wide-Hat Koopa give Mario three Superball Flower.
:Wide-Hat Koopa: These are Power-Up Cards! Draw one of it, and it create a Power-Up for you with an extra arsenal! The Superball Flower allow you to hit any targets, and while not as powerful as the other Flowers, it do pin down flying enemies! Make good use of them! They will only wear off after the current battle or if you were using a different Power-Up Card. Have a best of luck, sir!
Upon talking to a Pianta with a boxer attire...
:Boxer Pianta: Hot, two! Hot, two! Hot, two, three! What? It must be the first time you see Piantas doing boxings! We Piantas of Creation Island take care of our strength in order to help our self-defense skill! And nothing better than some training on the beach! You can call me Punchanto. Say, tell me, you know how to make Stylish Moves, right?
:Goombella: Of course I do! But it must be a long time that I performed such... Do you, Mario?
----
Mario can select "Sure I do." and "Wait, what are Stylish Moves already?", but regardless...
----
:Punchanto: I will help you to remind some of the more important details, as well as a new effect we can do with it. Its a better idea to not make a sparring here, but we would be at there!
Punchanto had pointed into a ring, similar to a sumo wrestler arena.
:Punchanto: And don't worry, we do not need to knock each others out for this one! I need to test my endurance, anyway. Want to try them out?
----
If Mario responded "Oh, yes I wanna try!", then the Tutorial Battle about Stylish Moves will be played.
If Mario instead responded "Nah, maybe later.", then the Tutorial Battle will be skipped, and the dialogue from Punchanto will be said.
:Punchanto: Alright, but if you changed your mind, I will not be too far of the ring.
----
(The following cutscene and battle will happens if Mario had accepted the Tutorial Battle request.)
Mario and the others moves inside the ring.
:Punchanto: Ready? Then let the tutorial of Stylish Moves commence!
----
Tutorial Battle: Stylish Moves
Punchanto: 999 HP (Actually unlimited, as there is no need to knock him out.)
:Punchanto: All you need to do is to use your move successfully five times, no matter if it got Good to Wonderful, and then at the next time, you will see when an "!" icon will be displayed at a precise time when not under Action Command! When this happens, press A at that precise moment to do so! A Stylish Move will make your spectators more excited and fill up your Super Drawing Meter faster, so make sure to do as many Stylish Moves as possible! Let's start with your Jump.
Upon selecting Jump...
:Punchanto: Looking good! Now select me!
When Mario had jumped, an "!" had appeared!
:Punchanto: Press A now!!
Stylish Move success! The attack proceed as usual afterward, with more "!" appearing.
:Punchanto: Ow, ow, ow! Now I know how its feels to get hit by a stomp! But at least you make your very first Stylish Move (in years if you really did some before)! Just one more thing; you cannot do Stylish Moves during Super Drawing Attack, and just in case that you, somehow, magically summon your "enemies", they cannot do it, either. Alright! You can either practice your other moves and the moves of your Goomba friend, or simply leave once you were about to lose interest!
Upon leaving the battle, the cutscene will play below.
:Punchanto: Well, had you got enough? Okay then, but if you new moves that need some style and awesomeness without needing too much hassle, you know where I am!
----
This cutscene will also play if Mario had skipped the tutorial. A female red Noki with blond hair, shelly pony-tail, an cow-girl attire had pointed to the sky.
:Female Noki: By Grambi! A falling Blooper!
Indeed, an unconscious falling, blue colored, sky-blue polka-dotted Blooper with cybernetic tentacles and top-fin was falling from the sky, then splashed on the ocean.
:Goombella: Now hold on! Bloopers are supposed to jump from the ocean when they need to, not to suddenly splash into the ocean from the sky!
:Rainizia: I hope the poor guy will be alright...
:Goombella: We better not waste anymore time, then! We must find someone who knows how to get underwater without getting drowned!
:Female Noki: Oh, so you wanted to be underwater? A friend of mine at the other side of the beach called Nokon who built up special Badges allowing any creatures to breathe underwater for indefinite time. Be careful when going there, because once you crossed the line, the bad guys working from one army or another will have no problems reaching you, so be sure to stack enough items!
:Rainizia: Thanks, Ms. Noki! It is very nice and informative from you!
:Female Noki/Nakitta: You can call me Nakitta. I need to go back at my ranch with my family soon, as we got to get back into doin' our usual farm works! See you!
:Goombella: We better find Nokon, then! I hope he had enough Badges for the three of us!
:Rainizia: Don't worry, he will have more than enough! Let's-a go, Mario!
:Mario: Oh, yeah!
====Moltini Beach====
Does to being a more enemy and item focused location, there is not much dialogue going on, but a worried Black Yoshi with a purple backcap will warn you about someone. It takes about 25 minutes to go through the area if you take account to defeat every overworld enemies.
:Black Yoshi: Going to the underwater? Well, just to warn you, there is a certain mean octopus who hates everyone equally for a such a pity reason; he wanted life to become as terrible and horrible as possible! But he is very cowardly, and will swim away if you prove to be tougher than he! He always runs away from anyone bigger than him, really. If you see him, whack one of his tentacles first, as the pain will distract him greatly! Oh, and his head is spiked, so say no to jumping into him.
:Goombella: He is misanthropic? I saw studies that misanthropy is not only bad for society, but also can make someone more selfish and had worse psychological health at the end if not treated carefully...
Upon reaching at the other side of the beach...
:Octopus: Hey! Get out my beach!
:Mario: Whoa ho!
:Rainizia: Oh, sorry to disturb you, but we just wanted to find a certain someone to--
:Octopus: And don't you think about getting near my whole ocean!
:Goombella: But someone had fallen into the sea--
:Octopus: Then let 'em drown! Or if it is another stupid Blooper, then leave it alone!
The group are shocked to hear about the octopus' harsh words.
:Rainizia: (Scowl) Excuse me, but who are you talking with is the Princess of Creation Island?
:Octopus: Not that you are even important. No one's important, and all shall had their game over as quick as possible... except me, because I said so, and also to prove how much I hated you.
:Goombella: (Shocked) ...Whoa. I just never heard someone ever said that... But do you seriously use hatred as a reason to be such a rude person?
:Octopus: Eh, at least I will openly admit it, idiots. And don't even try to tell why; everyone's an idiot except me, because I said so.
:Rainizia: (Become angered) And your lack of etiquette had surely offended me! There is a reason why you should show respect, because the consequences would be severe if you intend to harm me!
:Octopus: I already planned that, actually, princess!
He attempted to grab Mario and the two others, but only Mario had barely dodged them all and whack the tentacles with his hammer.
:Octopus: So, you numskull had managed to quickly guess that I will exterminate you? I will actually do it even if you get out of here, just to show how much I hate all of you!
:Goombella: (Not amused, sarcastic) Oh, now I am scared. Oh boy.
:Rainizia: Wait a second... after closer look, you must be the nutcase of Octo Autolash! You even attacked some guards of my town without warning!
:Octo: Doesn't change the fact that you value less than me!
----
Mini-Boss Battle! Octo Autolash!
HP: 20 HP for Octo, 1 for each of his tentacles. Tentacles will recover after three turns.
:Octo Autolash: Your dumb audience shall mind their business, too!
Octo had sprayed ink at the audience. The message "The Audience cannot see anything! No appeal could be possible for two turns!" is shown.
:Goombella: We better stop him before he would hurt someone!
Upon the mini-boss reaching 10 HP...
:Octo: Stop it before I will strangle you with my seaweed-scented tentacles!
:Goombella: Filthy tentacles!? Ew, ew, EW!
:Octo: Take it easy! Its doesn't smell so bad... for me!
:Rainizia: Mario! You don't need to do it if you can beat him with just our basic attacks, but if you or Goombella were about to be in troubles, you can always rely on your Drawing Cards!
As an attack, Octo can grab a few audience with his tentacles and intend to throw them at Mario or Goombella. It will take the two next turns for him to throw them.
:Octo: Have a taste of your stupid audience and see if they will need your stupid help!
:Goombella: Well, this guy had hatred issues. We gotta attack his tentacles before he could throw our audience!
After Octo runs out of HP...
:Octo: Augh!! No!! (Knockout effect)
----
:Octo: Darn it, darn it, darn it! I was too careless! I may underestimated you mollusks, but the next time, don't expect me to let your pointless game to continue!
Octo had jumped away, and mumbles when he does.
:Goombella: Welp, I can tell you one thing. Not even Masteurpiece would not like to hire that punk.
:Rainizia: I don't know what is up with him either, thinking about it. My parents told me that he had personal issues with his neighbors to the point of insanity, but some others said that he was simply born like that. But now he jumped away, we should focus on acquiring Nokon's help.
:Mario: Oh yeah!
Upon getting in front of Nokon's house, which looks like a mini-laboratory, which suddenly... *Klang, bang, boom!*
:???: Ack! Wrong flask, wrong flask! Now I need to start over...
:Goombella: It must be Nokon.
:Rainizia: Who else? Let's ask him for help and see if he can burrow us those special badges to get into the ocean and find that first Creation Crystal.
Upon entering Nokon's mini-laboratory...
:Nokon: Ah! Your majesty is here! And... say, you bring in two visitors, isn't it? How unusual, seeing that the only one who usually visit me are those whom I know in the two beaches.
:Rainizia: Nokon, I present you Mario, the Legendary Hero from the Mushroom Kingdom, and here is Goombella, from the Goomba University.
:Nokon: The Legendary Hero himself, hmm? I heard legends about his legendary moments, defeating bad guys worse than his usual nemesis. But why would he be here, to be precise?
:Rainizia: Well, here is a problem...
After the screen faded to black and faded in back, Mario was almost asleep.
:Rainizia: ...And we must find and protect the Creation Crystals before Monsieur Masteurpiece could break them and thus allows him to bring the Great Power Pencil, to remake the world, and eventually the universe, to his taste!
:Mario: Zzz...!! Whoa-ho! (Woke up)
:Nokon: Yeah, I knew that one day he will come back for revenge. We got to hurry, then! Here, have the Bubble Badges. This allows you to travel underwater by using unpoppable, but not impenetrable, bubble. I wish you the best of luck, and watch out for the round rogues who managed to dive underwater!
:Goombella: Excellent! Thank you very much, Nokon! We better prepare and go into underwater, Mario!
:Mario: (Thumb-up Pose) Let's-a go!
The group leaves the house. There is not much scene until you go to the dead-end of the area.
:Rainizia: I hope we reached it before Masteurpiece or one of his shady minions does...
:Goombella: We never know, but I just hope this is not the case! Cheerio!!
Mario, Goombella and Rainizia hop into the water, and the bubbles had started to float for the heroes as they slowly descend to the bottom of the sea.
====Under the Sea====
Mario, Goombella and Rainizia had landed on the bottom of the sea.
:Rainizia: (Dress glows softly) Hmm... Something tells me that we are not too far from the Creation Crystal. This is a good sign! Keep it up, everyone!
This area had not much cutscene does to have only enemies, blocks and other objects around. The player only need to head into Cheeplantis City.
Cheeplantis City
:Goombella: An underwater civilization? I never thought we could find one so early!
:Rainizia: I've never been here before either. But the important part is that I feels that we are getting nearer and nearer of our objective!
A certain green, saddened Cheep-Cheep NPC with a constructor helmet had something interesting to say, which is important does to plot reasons, as the player might see the following events as completely unexpected.
:Helmet Cheep-Cheep: Say, is that Rainizia with you? Listen, it had been since twenty years that I worked here in the construction site, and I am aware of the situation already. Just between you and me, life in here is kinda rough ever since the mayor's son irresponsibility had negatively affected our city's lifestyle, with some damage he had accidentally caused...
:Goombella: Say, had you seen a blue Blooper who felt in the ocean here?
:Helmet Cheep-Cheep: I saw it, but that Blooper didn't landed here. I saw the fellow falling over there, the Drowned Fortress. Thank me later, because I better prepare as my construction work might start soon or later.
When heading to the Road to Drowned Fortress...
:??? 1: Mom, how many times I had to tell you!? I don't wanna do my homework!
:??? 2: Chen, please, you need to think about responsibility. The School Fish School had enough of your attitude, and since I had finished my works, I had to tell you the importance of being responsible--
:Chen: Screw you and your responsibility!!
Chen had slapped his mother, to her utter shock.
:Chen: I wanted my free will! You always had to get on my way, always!! I will take a swim, thank you!
:???: (Visibly angered) No, Chen, get over here!
Chen had ignored her demand, and swam away. The Cheep-Cheep mayor with a mayor attire and a straw hat slowly get saddened.
:Chazzie: *Sigh* That went really pear-shaped... I don't know why, but my son is not easy to raise at all... Maybe I had made a mistake or anything...
:Mario: Ho! *Raised his hand*
:Chazzie: ...Hmm? Oh! Visitors! What can I help you?
The three heroes are silent at first.
:Chazzie: ...Yes, I know, problem with my son. Look, he is used to be a soft, jolly Cheep-Cheep, but something tells me that he is not like that anymore.
:Goombella: I know nothing about parenting too much, sorry. But judging from the scene, I have a feeling that he needs some more freedom.
:Chazzie: Well, look, I do not wanted my son getting in troubles again! I just want him to be responsible for once... Imagine the danger he could get in... I beg for your help, please!
:Mario: *Nods* Hmm hmm.
Cheeplantis Road
This section had smaller story part does to being focused on exploration and defeating enemies, when possible. When reaching the Cheeplantis Ruins...
:Goombella: Hey! It must the be the long lost Cheeplantis Ruins! I had a lesson about it ten years ago, but we only know why it had sunk in the time it were in the land!
:Rainizia: And what would it be?
:Goombella: A certain alien caused it. Someone called Tangy... Or is it Tangoga?
:Mario: *Jumps* Oh!
:Goombella: Tatanga? I talk about his ancestor, Tantangus the Tyrant... Woo! Know I remember his name!
:Rainizia: Whoever done it, I rather care about if that Creation Crystal would be there the most. Let's move on!
Cheeplantis Ruins
Upon reaching the second bottom floor, getting near the unconscious Blooper...
:???: Kya ha ha ha ha!
:Rainizia: Who was that? I... don't think I recognized this sort of crazy laugh.
:???: Oh, Pul-lease! It is a matter of time for you goofs to surrender and face the wrath of the Bandinero King!
:Goombella: Oh. I think we found the pesky leader of the dastardly Bandineroes. He sure sounds like a phonograph!
:???: ...Eh!? You are not going out alive here, you and your looney allies! Spank them out, boys!
The Bandinero King had appeared, along with multiple Bandineroes of multiple colors. All of them seems to wear scuba-like equipment.
:Goombella: Oh snap...
:Rainizia: Augh! We got outnumbered with more than a dozen of them!
:???: Hey! Leave the poor guy alone!
An army of civilized Bloopers arrives, taking on the Bandineroes. A Blooper colored in green attempts to take on Bandinero King.
:Green Blooper: Its on, freak!
The Bandinero King quickly swept the Camo Blooper out with his scepter.
:Bandinero King: Nope! Not today! Now even with my bumbling minions distracted, I will take you three bozos on anyway!
----
Boss Battle!
Warning! Bandinero King; Spherical Fiend!
Bandinero King: 25 HP
:Bandinero King: Time for your exercise of pain!
----
Upon the boss reaching 20 HP
:Bandinero King: Humph! Is that your best? I can simply do way better than you!
A cyborg Blooper get back up, and becomes frightened and and sprayed explosive bubbles at everyone, dealing 2 damage (if Mario and/or Goombella were already damaged, all of them dodged).
:Bandinero King: Augh! What's up with that thing!? Well, a reinforcement never hurts then!
Bandinero King whistled had called three Bandineroes.
:Bandinero King: Come on, you three, don't disappoint me this time!
:Rainizia: I hope that you know how to use your Badges and your Drawing Cards, Mario and Goombella, because the situation is not going to be pretty right now!
----
Upon the boss reaching 10 HP
:Bandinero King: This is not good! We had just started, too! Bandineroes, form a shield!
The Bandineroes had stacked together to form a literal shield. They would attempt to block non-piercing attacks that are aimed at their leader. It has an HP of 3.
:Bandinero King: Smash that, punks! Kya ha ha!
----
Upon the boss getting defeated, back into the field...
:Bandinero King: Ack! Ack ack ack! Darn it! Well, this is not a big deal for a loss anyway, but... Let's retreat boys!
The army of Bandineroes had followed suit with their fleeing leader.
:Rainizia: Hmm... I wonder what is up with those spherical fiends.
:Goombella: The important thing is that we managed to push them away! We sure showed them, right Mario?
:Mario: Hmm hmm.
The Green Camo Blooper jumped back, but mumbles in disappointment.
:Green Blooper: Ack... This round punk is tougher than I thought. I should stop underestimating suspicious and funny-looking enemies...
:Rainizia: Hmm? You doesn't seems to be part of the Creation Cavaliers...
:Green Blooper: You mean the one with silly costumes but nevertheless effective deep down? Nope, I am General Bloopont, part of the B.A.M., which is Blooporium Aqua Marines. Marines as in soldiers of the sea. We are from the Blooporium, a far away Blooper underwater city found in the Aqua Kingdom, and I assume you are searching for the rogue Cheep-Cheep, right?
:Mario: Eep!
:General Bloopont: No, no, not the son of the mayor. I talk about a bigger one! Rumors says that this Cheep-Cheep is able to smash thorough even the thickest columns of Cheeplantis City! For the son of the mayor, I do not have time to deal with his immaturity once again, since the last time I tried to escort him, he nearly caused an underwater eruption despite my warning!
:Goombella: Underwater eruption!? How could he do that?
:General Bloopont: By uncorking the forbidden place, the infamous Submaniac Volcano, known for destroying an entire city that resides near it.
:Goombella: For the mother of-- This is dangerous! He could get burned to game-end!
:General Bloopont: He was that reckless! Mayor Chazzie told me that the only way to convince him to come back at the moment is to tell the consequences of his actions by telling him how dangerous it could be.
:Rainizia: You know, with all respect, General, we will bring Chen back to the Mayor - Eh, his mother, in one piece.
:General Bloopont: Very good. My squad and I can focus on taking care of the big Cheep-Cheep rogue then! And if you see the blue, cybernetic Blooper, you better hope he is not with that wanted brute. Move on, soldiers!
General Bloopont and the Bloopers moved away.
:Goombella: Alright, let's pin our objectives; one, find the mayor's son and the weird Blooper! Two, take out the rogue Cheep-Cheep, whoever that could be! Three, ensure that the Creation Crystal is safe and secured!
:Rainizia: I would say to protect the Creation Crystal first, because we never know who could attack the crystal at any moment. However we can rescue both the Blooper and the Mayor's son, and hope that the Blooper in question is on our side.
:Goombella: Welp, now that we sort our plan out, let's move it on!
----
Upon reaching three columns where the cybernetic Blooper resides...
:'???: Hmm? I've been chased... I don't know what do they want but no way I will let them see me. I cannot know who to even trust anymore... Even myself...
The cybernetic Blooper hides at the third column, but Chen is over the second and isn't happy to be followed either.
:Chen: Aw, not you too! Listen, my mom prevent me to go anywhere exciting and awesome and confined me to boring places! Get lost!
Chen blows a raspberry, and Mario shrugs as if he still have to escort Chen.
:Goombella: I don't think he's going to give up... Like, at all.
:Rainizia: Oh, but I can relate with him. Not completely, but I know how he feels about being confined to safe places... but my parents told me the potential dangers around dangerous places and should not be trespassed under any circumstances except for emergencies.
:Goombella: I know the rest; to rescue those who are in such places, as long as we have everything needed to solve the situations. Mario's always doing this, right boy?
:Mario: Hmm hmm.
:Rainizia: I hope those words will make him understand.
Upon getting near Chen...
:Chen: Don't move! Or I will... Well, I will just swim away, thank you, boring people!
Goombella doesn't like Chen's words as she frowns, but she keep her mouth shut.
:Rainizia: Chen... Listen, there is a reason that your mother doesn't want you to go into places like this--
:Chen: Royalty or not, you can't make me go back-- Huh!?
A rumble is heard, and the second column collapsed by a large, mechanical Cheep-Cheep.
:Chen: AAH! What is this!?
:Goombella: That must be the rogue Cheep-Cheep!
:Chen: This thing is mechanical... Cool! I wanna see it closer!
:Rainizia: No, Chen, wait!!
Chen swam closer to the mechanical Cheep-Cheep, with the latter not detecting it yet.
:Mechanical Cheep-Cheep: Bah! Zat pesky Blooper floated away from us... Why he decided to not trusting us anyway!? Quel culot! Well, at least the Creation Crystal is closer around here! Hon hon hon!
The mechanical Cheep-Cheep swam to the right exit, breaking it thorough and caused piles of crashed ceiling to land around Chen, with the top being covered by a large platform. The mechanical Blooper, in turn, swam toward the east-northern exit.
:Chen: Ah! No!
:Mechanical Cheep-Cheep: (Faraway) Come to papa!
:Rainizia: Oh no! Not that mean Masteurpiece again! He's more active to complete his goal than I thought!
:Goombella: And Chen is stuck! What should we do now?
:Chen: Hey! Wh-Why do this keep happening to me!? Someone help me!
If the player try to interact with the pile...
:Chen: I want to see my mom again! I'm-I'm so scared!
:Goombella: He seems to regret, but none of us is able to lift all of those large boulders... We gotta need something, or even someone, to get rid of all of that stuff, as well as unblocking the exit!
----
Upon reaching the east-northern area where the cybernetic Blooper is surrounded by four teardrop shaped enemies...
:??? 1: Hey you! Get back to the Masteurpiece Mansion! You haven't passed thorough the tests yet!
:??? 2: Yeah, Bloopelly! We didn't recruit you just so you ran away like a coward!
:Cybernetic Blooper/Bloopelly: I am not a coward!
:??? 1: Please! We don't want to hurt you - in fact we want you to come back intact - and trust me, your creator is not very happy of the first results.
:Bloopelly: Then make me! I had enough with the pain, and if you refuse to leave me alone, then I will--
:??? 3: Oh, so you dare to not cooperate? We could simply pull you back there--
Bloopelly attempted to spin in hope to make a whirlpool, but he instead spun not fast enough and instead get himself dizzy.
:??? 2: Aah, that's unfortunate! This guy think he can do everything, but nope, he refuse to try the best of his abilities.
:Rainizia: What abilities?
:??? 4: Eep! We got spotted!
:??? 1: Relax, its only the princess and... her two odd allies. Let's get them!
----
Forced Battle: Four Dripplets. After defeating one of the Dripplets, the remaining Dripplets looks worried.
:Dripplet: Oof! Those fleshy losers sure doesn't hold back! Absorb the water, boys!
The Dripplets absorb the water of the sea, healing their HP by 3 and boost their POW by 1.
:Rainizia: I never seen those funny-looking fiends, honest! They might overwhelm us if we couldn't defeat them quickly!
:Bloopelly: Uff... Uff... I feel... so weak...
:Goombella: The Blooper... maybe he could help us, but we got to convince him first... Ah yes! Mario, do you we have any healing items by chance?
If Mario had any healing items, Mario nods and give a selected item to Goombella.
:Goombella: (Picked the selected item) That will do! I will try to give it to him while you two take care of the weirdos!
If Mario instead lacked of any of healing items...
:Goombella: Aww, come on! If only a miracle happen...
:Random Audience: Have one! (Throws a Mushroom to Goombella)
:Goombella: Well... it happened! I will try to give it to the Blooper while you two can take care of the weirdos!
After a turn without Goombella..., provided that Mario is still on-foot...
:Bloopelly: I... never thought you would heal me but... why?
:Goombella: We would need your help, since we saw that you have great potentials to be a good partner with us!
:Bloopelly: Are-are you trying to convince me to join you?
:Dripplet: Well its not like we would heal a failure like you-- Oops!
:Dripplet 2: Well saying, blockhead!
:Bloopelly: Grr! How dare you calling me a failure!
Bloopelly joins Mario's side.
:Bloopelly: We will fight together, plumber, but then you have to explain why you needed me after the fight!
----
After defeating the Dripplets...
:Bloopelly: Okay... Those meanies are beaten to a pulp... But the real question is... Why do you three needs me?
:Goombella: I already said that you have great potentials and all, and your bubbles could help us out!
:Bloopelly: No, please. Listen, I'm not going to help anyone, no matter how, no matter where! But... It's safe to say that I am lost... and I could stuck for weeks like the last time.
:Goombella: Like the last time? Don't tell me it isn't the first time you came here?
:Bloopelly: Well, to be frank with you, it is. But I was lost to a certain wood I was assigned by a scientist of a sort weeks ago, but I become so sure about myself that I rushed to the path and... I got lost.
:Rainizia: Aaand what makes you not wanting to trust anyone?
:Bloopelly: My former teammates keep messing with me, my scientist is too busy, and my boss is arrogant and think I could know better than that!
:Goombella: Well, I have a saying for you; just because people in the place you lived mistreated or neglected you doesn't mean that everyone else at everywhere else are the same. The world is full of different civilization and wonders... and dangers, but--
:Bloopelly: Okay, okay, I-I just don't know anymore. The mean beans over the Masteurpiece Mansion said that I tend to be too much of a lone wolf... Maybe they aren't wrong. But all I wanted is to be a worthy fighter, no matter who I am with!
:Goombella: But if you trusted no one and keep being afraid and all, no one can see it. The best way to prove it is to prove it with the right way, and help the others in need.
:Bloopelly: The right way? What do you mean?
:Goombella: By using your abilities, and by that, those you are capable of.
:Bloopelly: Not sure about it... but if there is one thing I am good at is squirting water and bubbles, but that's all. I can't be useful with these!
:Rainizia: Yes you can! Follow me and you will see.
:Bloopelly: Hmm... Okay, promise me that this is not a trick.
----
Going back to the large pile, with Chen still inside...
:Chen: Hmm... OH! I hope you guys know how to let me out now! I was fallen asleep because I had nothing to do!
:Bloopelly: So... what do you want me to do about it?
:Goombella: Well, you could try using bubbles on the piles.
:Bloopelly: Really? What make you think it would work?
:Goombella: The bubbles float up underwater, even when something is inside. We would never know if it works until we try.
:Bloopelly: Well... here we go.
Bloopelly sighed, and blow out bubbles to trap and piles... and it works, with Chen rushing out of the shadows before the bubbles pops with the piles falling back down!
:Chen: Phew! I don't know how to thank you, but thank you for life! I never thought I could be stuck forever if it weren't for you boys and girls!
:Bloopelly: Ah, not a big thing... (Happily closes eyes) But I sure never thought that my bubbles technique could work! Thanks miss Goomba!
:Goombella: Call me Goombella, and any time, Mr. Blooper!
:Bloopelly: You can call me Bloopelly. I don't remember why they called me that but it better not have any mean meanings.
:Rainizia: Roll call! I am Rainizia, Princess of Creation Island, and this the world famous Mario, and this is the son of Mayor of Cheeplantis City, Chen!
:Chen: Please don't remind me of... (weakener) my... mom. *Sigh* Well, you know what, I started to know why my momma never wanted me to go into dangerous places like this alone.
:Rainizia: See, its never safe to go into dangerous places without being prepared to go there. Now let's just bring you back to the entrance back to safety.
:Chen: I'd rather not be stuck here forever... as much as my mom can annoy me, I feel like not following her would end up making a big mistake.
After bringing Chen back to the first floor...
:Chazzie: Chennie!
:Chen: Please stop calling me Chen... But... I am so sorry for running away...
:Chazzie: All is forgiven... but please just do not run away like this, and less so slapping me. Its not how a citizen act... Let's go home and have a nice Cheep-Kelpian Soup!
:Chen: Ooh! My favorite! I am starting to get hungry like a wolf too!
Chazzie and her son swims back to the road to Cheeplantis.
:Rainizia: Now that mayor and her son are reunited, we can focus on finding the Creation Crystal here, ASAP!
----
Second floor, the mechanical Cheep-Cheep had already swam thorough the walls, but piles of ruins blocked them and the gate remained closed.
:Rainizia: Hmm... How are supposed to open the gate? Well, that's an obvious question, so I would instead suggest to find something that could open the gate. Like those buttons over there!
Rainizia point out the buttons with the letter on each of them: "C", "O", "P", "H" and "M".
:Goombella: I'm sure letters will make a word. Piece of cake, right?
:Rainizia: Well, we have to press them in the right order in this case. I wonder what those letters can make...
:Goombella: I'm remembered that I recently studied a Cheep-Cheep variant. Something that make a sound when catch it pray... Yuck! I don't wanna be its dinner in this case!
If Mario had pressed the buttons on the wrong order, a buzz is heard, and the buttons lifted up again.
:Rainizia: Don't give up! We just need to think of a word that can be done with these five letters and see what happens.
Once the "C", "H", "O", "M", and "P" are pressed in the correct order...
:Bloopelly: Cheep-Chomp! Of course! Well, good thing that there aren't any of those Cheep-Chomps here, that would not end well!
:Rainizia: And I can feel the Creation Crystal nearer and nearer! Let's go, go, go!
:Mario: Let's-a go!
Upon reaching the final floor, where the blue Creation Crystal resides...
:Rainizia: Here we are! But the bridges are down... and we cannot swim since we are encased in bubbles to let us breath air.
:Goombella: I wonder if your drawing ability will make good use to fix them?
:Rainizia: Ah yes, why had I forgot about that ability so quickly? Mario, you know what to do!
After drawing the bridge to get access of the Creation Crystal...
:Rainizia: All left is to perform my Crystal Encasing to protect it from outside threats!
:Bloopelly: What is that "Crystal Encasing"?
:Rainizia: Ah, I should told you about it before. This is an ability my parents and I have to fully protect the Creation Crystals from threats and baddies after their protection had decayed every ten years. A tradition to perform, really. Now come to momma--
:???: And I say come to papa!
The Mechanical Cheep-Cheep comes closer to the Creation Crystal, with a pincer ready to take it away. However, Mario and Goombella attempt to attack the pincer, but with no avail.
:Goombella: Don't you think about taking it away, you oversized junk!
:Mechanical Cheep-Cheep: Oh yes, I am thinking about taking it away, 'cause I want it, bon sang!
The pincer had shaken to fend off Mario and Goombella, with Rainizia being shocked with the situation and feels helpless. However, Bloopelly, refusing to give up this time, encase the pincer in bubble, lifting it and causing the mechanical Cheep-Cheep to rotate upward.
:Mechanical Cheep-Cheep: Aagh! This can't be true! I was so close this time! You know what, that's what I get to reject you, Bloopelly, but now you dare to challenge me, I will crush you and your dumb-looking friends into a rainbow confetti with my Sea Scavenging Cheep, also known as S.S. Cheep! Preparez-vous!
Danger! S.S. Cheep, Sea Scavenging Mobile!
----
Major Boss Battle: Vs. S.S. Cheep
:S.S. Cheep: Hah! You really think you are able to mess with me? Zis will not be a happy ending for you four, and especially not for you, Bloopelly! Hon hon hon!
If the player attempted to attack the core the first time, where the closed mouth is, it won't be damaged.
:Rainizia: We cannot attack the core if the mouth is closed! We should think about hitting other weak spot first... Goombella, I hope your Tattling will help us out!
If the player did the same thing above but after Goombella used Tattle, the dialogue is changed.
:Rainizia: No, no, hit the eyes first! That way the mouth could open!
:S.S. Cheep: Hey! Don't you even try!
Once the player take his/her first turn...
:S.S. Cheep: Bah! Let zee how can you dodge that!
The first attack will always be the Slam attack. The default dialogue will be if the target get hit.
:S.S. Cheep: Ha ha! Touché! But the pain will not end yet!
If the first attack is blocked by normal Guard or Superguard, or just plain missed, the dialogue will be different.
:S.S. Cheep: Ack! Come on, you stinky machine, I built you for fighting, not just for scavenging!
Once one of S.S. Cheep's eye broke...
:S.S. Cheep: Vat the-- One eye down! But that's not a huge deal... right?
Once the other eye broke...
:S.S. Cheep: Hey! I cannot see anything at all! The cameras went down!
The mouth accidentally opens and unable to close itself.
:S.S. Cheep: Wait-- Oh no! Not ze core! Prepare the cannons! Do not let them attack ze core at all cost! And this machine cost a good amount of money, you know!
The music get more intense as the cannons and the Ted Blasters are armed and ready.
:Bloopelly: Yikes! The machine is on "Desperation"!
:Goombella: Desperation? I never seen any bad guys doing that! At least those I faced alongside Mario...
:Rainizia: Desperation means that when a tough bad guy like this machine loses enough HP, they will use more attacks and may even attempt to attack the audience to hinder the Super Meter charging process. Be on your guard!
Once the core is destroyed, the machine boss fish spirals out of control as it is about to explode.
:S.S. Cheep: 100% damage! Coolants are off! Machine's overheating! And maybe I really shouldn't ask ze builders to put the core inside the mouth... Next time I will get you, you little-- (*Boss Explosion*)
----
:Rainizia: Phew! This is a rough battle... But looks like Masteurpiece have more tricks in his sleeves than usual.
:Bloopelly: Heh... It is not like we should give up either...
:Goombella: Aw, of course not! The Creation Island, as well as the entire universe, count on us! We can't let someone like Masteurpiece to get the Creation Crystals and mess up anything on their path!
:Rainizia: All left is to Encase the Crystal Creation, and then we can go back to the Creation Plaza and inform the Creation Cavaliers about it!
Rainizia performs a rainbow-colored magic that shroud the Creation Crystal, which then encase it in a much larger prism, with a rainbow flash confirming that the Crystal is well sealed.
End of Chapter 1!
:Narrator: Despite our heroes having a hard time to go thorough the Flooded Ruins, our heroes had succeeded to destroy the maniacal Masteurpiece's S.S. Cheep and sealed the first Creation Crystal from harm. But will Bloopelly be able to trust his newest and kind allies? And where should they go next? Only time will tell...
===Chapter 2: Don't Get Too High on the Skies!===
At the Masteurpiece Mansion, Masteurpiece himself seems angry at first, but seeing his foot tapping faster but rather softly, he's also confused.
:Monsieur Masteurpiece: Well, I did not thought that her majesty and his new odd allies had gotten ze best of me so quickly... or rather this piece-o-junk. Bah, this is just the beginning. The plumber might not be as strong as I am! In fact, he might lose the second time! But alas, the Giant Thief is pretty busy right now... He better hurry up!
A buzz comes from the large computer.
:Monsieur Masteurpiece: Who could it be? It better be him...
The computer show up the Giant Thief's face.
:Giant Thief: Monsieur Masteurpiece, I have a good news and a bad news.
:Monsieur Masteurpiece: Don't wait for it, just tell me those news. Go on!
:Giant Thief: The good news is that the S.S. Cheep, even when defeated when you controlled it, managed to have complete analysis on Mario and his looney partners.
:Monsieur Masteurpiece: Ay! You should me that the S.S. Cheep could analyze-- (smirks) Never mind, I could make fantastic use of those analysis to deal with my next master plan!
:Giant Thief: The bad news is that not only they managed to seal the first Creation Crystal, but we are also getting competition in the name of the Koopa Troop. And there is no doubt that Mario and his goons will search for another one.
:Monsieur Masteurpiece: Bah! Them sealing one Creation Crystal is one thing... but getting competition will only complicate things. Good thing that you told me about those dumb Koopa Troop!
:Giant Thief: I'd advice you to focus on the Creation Crystals for now; I will handle the rest.
:Monsieur Masteurpiece: You better not let Mario get away this time, génie!
:Giant Thief: If you said so. (Screen closes off)
:Monsieur Masteurpiece: Humph! If mosnsieur Giant Thief want me to focus on the Creation Crystals, of course I will! But first, send my many minions to, at most, distract those no-goods... starting with three ex-Koopa Troops! Trouble Trio, get over and hear my orders, because it will be a good one!
:???: No problemo, boss!
:??? 2: We are ready when you want.
:??? 3: Can't wait to bash some sorry faces, oh yes!
Three shadowed Koopa figures shows up, with only their distinctive sunglasses being visible.
:???: We will not disappoint you this time!
:Monsieur Masteurpiece: Ah, do not worry! You just need to do a simple task as your first mission of the day!
:??? 3: Ha, ha! Great! Wait, uh... What is it?
:Monsieur Masteurpiece: Just listen closely, and remember; no slowing down!
:??? 2: As always, sir. No objections.
----
Meanwhile, Mario and co. are trying to figure it out where should they find the next Creation Crystal back into the Marinama Beach...
:Rainizia: Hmm, I wonder what place we should go next. We can't just peek around everywhere just so we find another Creation Crystal. And knowing Monsieur Masteurpiece, he might find his own ways to find the other Creation Crystals, with his no-good minions scattered around.
:Goombella: Say, after you seal the first Creation Crystal we had found, what do you think should happen next?
:Rainizia: I'll be honest, this is the first time I ever did it. My parents are the one who does this as part of their royal responsibilities, but recently they are gone searching for something important to stop the-- !!
:Bloopelly: Rainizia? Is there's something wrong?
:Rainizia: I... feel like I am getting lighter... Oh! Mom? Dad?
Rainizia emit a rainbow image of crayon-scattered aura, and image of two royal individuals shows up, one who is a paintbrush and another who have resemblance of a feather.
:Bloopelly: AH! Ghosts!
:Paintbrush: Be of no worry, little fellow! We are not here for any kind of harm.
:Feather: Indeed. Let us present ourselves, if you please. The name's Queen Calarie, and let me present to you my loving, jolly husband that is the King Shapel.
:King Shapel: It seems that you managed to seal the first Creation Crystal, isn't it Rainizia girl?
:Rainizia: Why yes, I did! Bu-u-u-u-t I couldn't do it with the help of the legendary hero Mario of the Mushroom Kingdom, Goombella of the Goomba University, and Bloopelly of... the Flooded Ruins where we had just found him.
:Bloopelly: You sure? (*Flinches, realizes that telling the truth may not end well*) Ah, wait, of course!
Queen Calarie seems suspicious with Bloopelly, but shrugged.
:Queen Calarie: Humph. I see. Now that we were able to meet again - or in this particular case, projecting our image in here, there is an important message we need to inform you about.
:King Shapel: Why, yes... Rainizia, we didn't knew you were able to seal the first Creation Crystal so fast... but the problem is, our enemy and ex-painter Monsieur Masteurpiece is already searching for the rest as far as we know. But fortunately, as you seal the Creation Crystals, our power are progressively gaining back and sealing them all will bring our usual power back to normal.
:Goombella: With all due respect, your majesty, but... do the Creation Crystal have something with you three? Other than protecting and sealing them?
:Queen Calarie: Indeed. We will, with full certainty, to explain about how our Creation Crystals have anything more than what we should protect... our power are linked with them, and letting them unsealed will weaken us. We are not almighty and immortal when the Creation Crystals under full protection, but we will have our abilities enhanced with each Creation Crystal being sealed back to normal.
:Rainizia: Oh, that's nice but-- OOH!
Rainizia's aura gets a bit stronger, with a rainbow shine and a chiming audio cue.
:King Shapel: Would you look at that! After some time, your ability of drawing enhances bit by bit, and allows you and your friends to solve problems they couldn't do before. And looks like you gained the Pen Size ability!
:Rainizia: Pen Size? What does it mean? Does it make me bigger or smaller?
:Queen Calarie: Ho ho ho! No, dear daughter. Let me give a brief explanation about how to use it. Mr. Mario, would you kindly be a volunteer for our demonstration?
----
The player is given a choice to choose "Yes, your highness." or "With all due respect, no thank you." If "Yes your Highness" is chosen...
:Queen Calarie: Then it settled. Simply enable the Drawing ability to commence.
The player will do so as instructed by Calarie.
:Queen Calarie: Very good. Now see the two rocks over there? All you need to do is to draw a bridge...
:Bloopelly: Well, this does sound easy. We already did that back in Flooded Ruins.
:Queen Calarie: ... And by that I mean a bridge over the two rocks.
:Bloopelly: Wait, over the two rocks? Is there a difference?
:King Shapel: Oh, it may not be seem obvious at first. But remember that Rainizia's ability, at first, can only repair anything that is already broken. But now she can make simple things like a simple bridge alongside the Pen Size Ability!
:Queen Calarie: This is precisely what I had meant. Now, draw a normal bridge with the normal size of the pen.
Once the player had completed the first task...
:Goombella: Aaand done!
:King Shapel: Not so fast! Look at the Pianta who's curious about the bridge you had just drawn. Good thing that the water is calm, otherwise we will not do our instruction over here!
The Pianta seems curious, peeking the newly drawn bridge, and proceed to step on it... only for it to collapse under his weight, fall into the thin water, and angrily jump Mario.
:Pianta: Hey! What's up with the bridge!?
:Rainizia: He he he!
:Queen Calarie: Oh dear! Now we understand that the normal pen's line isn't thick and solid enough to make a solid bridge. Maybe try to increase the pen size to Big and see if the result would be an improvement?
The player do what instructed again, this time with the Big pen size.
:King Shapel: All left is to see if the Pianta could walk thorough the bridge successfully this time.
The Pianta, who jumped back to the left rock, seems doubtful as he scratch his forehead, but then give it another chance by walking thorough it... and the bridge remains stable and intact, allowing the Pianta to get into the right rock and jump with joy.
:Pianta: Oh oh! Much better, much better! Maybe I should invent a game of "Cross the Bridge"!
:Goombella: Oh my! I didn't know that thicker lines make something more solid!
:Queen Calerie: Well, now you know. There is also the thinner lines that allows the drawn object to be much lighter but more fragile. You should try to make a mixture of thin and thick lines in order to make the appropriate object, lest it will not work properly as you planned to.
Rainizia's aura is progressively weaker, with the images flinching away.
:King Shapel: Oh! Our transmission is getting weaker! Here's one last note before we can go; to find the next Creation Crystal, you must have your head over the cloud.
:Goombella: Our head over the cloud? Is that a joke!?
:Bloopelly: Oh wait! Are you saying that it is at the sky?
:Queen Calarie: Why yes, but be aware of the residential sky dragon. We heard that she never liked visitors.
:Bloopelly: A sky dragon!? No, no, no, you are joking me right?
:King Shapel: Rainizia, no matter the situation, always think of us, because we always dearly loved you as our daughter. We promise you that we will be able to meet in person since a year ago. See you soon... we hope!
:Rainizia: Father, mother, wait up!
The aura went off, with the image of Rainizia's parents disappeared.
:Rainizia: Well... At least we know where the Creation Crystal could be. Let's head back to Creation Plaza and inform the Creation Cavaliers!
----
Back into Creation Plaza...
:Rainizia: All left is to inform the Creation Cavaliers about our accomplishment and... say, Bloopelly, what's wrong?
Bloopelly is seen shaking up.
:Bloopelly: No way that I wanted to go to the sky, especially with the big mean dragon!
:Goombella: Bloopelly, you need to get a hold of yourself! Mario and I, alongside the other friends, had beaten not one, or two, but three dragons since Rogueport!
:Bloopelly: I... Wow! That's impressive! You are right, I must pull myself! I got a feeling that I didn't really do so back when I was with... (*Look around the public, not wanted the truth be told*) some dumb rogues.
:Goombella: Well, it would not be easy, but you certainly need effort to have courage.
:Bloopelly: Yeah... effort. Nobody told me this word...
:Goombella: I... really?
:Rainizia: Enough with the chit-chat, and up the sky we go! But where would be able to reach up the sky?
:Goombella: My, yes, none of us can fly.
:Bloopelly: Techically I can float but... I do not really think I can do it alone... but its not like the dragon alone would scare me out of the sky, isn't it?
Rainizia scrabbled the sky and caused a shadow of a large but silly-looking dragon.
:Bloopelly: (Look at the shadow, then jumps off-screen) YAAA! Oh... just a silly shadow, eh?
:Goombella: I told you, getting courage is no easy task! Although... Rainizia, you really have to do that?
:Rainizia: Aw, take it easy! Its only a practical joke, its not like the scribble will hurt anyone!
:Goombella: Bah, if you said so... Let's just head to the Creation Cavaliers' headquarter, wherever it is supposed to be!
----
Trying to leave the Plaza have Rainizia to warn Mario that they should have notify the Creation Cavaliers first, but will not stop him to leave.
:Rainizia: Say, Mario! Just so you know we still need to notify the Creation Cavaliers first, but if you feel that you missed something, go on then!
A particular Koopa NPC with a kimono, near the fountain, have a "!" over her, which indicate an important message.
:Koopa: Hello there! Searching for the Creation Cavaliers, darling?
:Goombella: And how do you know? They are a world famous heroes or something?
:Koopa: Ah, not the world, really, but back in the Kingdom I live, yes. Especially with the action figures for their most notable and active members!
:Bloopelly: Huh... They sure doesn't mind the fame. But I wonder if they really are reliable...
:Koopa: No worries, they are reliable... but ranking system is certainly difficult to climb, from what I heard. The name's Keppie by the way.
:Goombella: Alright, talking about the Creation Cavaliers is fun and all, but I want to know where their headquarter could be!
:Keppie: Ah, yes, the headquarter. Its no hideout, you see; just keep heading to the west right after the hospital and you will find it. Ah yes, had you noticed my bubble speech? This indicate that someone have something important or helpful to tell you, especially if it have something to do with... your objectives, or your goals, or whatever you were doing. Good luck!
:Bloopelly: Hmm... Yeah, I would want to check it out at first and see if I can find my place here. Thanks!
----
At the headquarter, the leader Grabiotic isn't around, but the secretary, a Bea with large, diamond-shaped glasses called Benefee seems to wait for the heroes.
:Benefee: Oh, hello, Mr. Mario! The Cavalier Leader Grabiotic is not available as he is under a mission to find out two "crooks" who's trying to take the Great Power Pencil for themselves. However, I may transmit your information for him, and I will give an useful present for you four as he instructed me to do so.
:Rainizia: An useful tool? Oh, of course, I managed to seal the first of the Creation Crystals and even fended off a big mean machine that Monsieur Masteurpiece controlled in an attempt to steal it.
:Benefee: Good news, good news~! Now, for the present, I will present you the Wonder Map System, also known as WMS!
Mario had obtained the Wonder Map System!
:Benefee: You can use it to get messages from anyone who have message-compatible machines, check the map, see the places you should go marked by our professional map markers, and more! You should try to check out all of the details first, because I have to finish off my work with all these letters and all... Good luck on your quest by the way! I'm rooting for you!~
:Mario: Oh ho!
:Goombella: Yeah, yeah, thanks, let's keep moving! (Picked Mario and moved out of the building)
Upon reaching outside...
:Rainizia: I heard about the Wonder Map System while I was younger, back when it is under development. You should check the map first and see what would our Map Markers will indicate us to go first. You can pop-up the Menu by "+" or "-", and select Wonder Map System, then select "Map". Let's give it a try!
Upon opening the Wonder Map System and select "Map", the only option available other than "Profile", the full map is shown but some areas are covered by clouds until they get visited firsthand. A marker (which is a red flag) indicate the Balloon Bazaar.
:Rainizia: There it is! The Balloon Bazaar. Its a small town where hot air balloons and blimps are held and stationed for aerial travel for both tourists and habitats alike.
Exiting the Wonder Map System
:Goombella: Well, this is perfectly convenient! I hope no bad guys are there to ruin our chance to reach the sky!
:Bloopelly: We can always try to fight them back if needed. I mean, it is not like the sky dragon will come down! Brrr!
:Goombella: Jeez, I hope not!
:Mario: (Jumps) Come on! Let's-a go!
----
The players run thorough the Flipped Routes and the Rumbled Prairie, which doesn't have any storywise important things to show. Upon reaching the Balloon Bazaar...
:Pencilier: Aagh! Not again!!
Multiple Shy Guys and a few Lakitus, Stepkins and Burrbos wearing berets are running amok in the Balloon Bazaar, alongside multiple beret-less Koopas, Goombas and Shy Guys trying to fight them.
:Pencilier: Masteurpiece's henchmen invading here is one thing, but I did not expected those shade-wearings punks coming here too! Someone help us!
Witnesses are visibly scared as they are all hiding in the different shops.
:Goombella: Aw, no! We can't afford an air ride if those goons doesn't buzz off!
:Bloopelly: And there's too many of them to fight at once! Should we contact the Creation Cavaliers?
:Rainizia: It can work but... Uh?
:???: Cavaliers, engage to clear!
Two anthropomorphic rhino-like creatures wearing Creation Cavalier garbs jumped in and managed to fend off several enemies, alongside several members taking care of the rest... except for six Shy Guys, three of which are Masteurpiece Henchmen and three from Koopa Troop.
:Bulldozz: You there! You can handle the rest! We will make sure the bad guys will leave the citizens alone!
Once the player approach the six remaining Shy Guys...
----
Notable Battle; Beret or no Beret
:Shy Guy 1: Shame on you working for that pesky Masteurpiece!
The Shy Guy attacked first on a Beret Shy Guy.
:Beret Shy Guy: Ack! Well, how dare you. Let's settle the score while also handling the flesh-face!
The Beret Shy Guy attacked the beret-less Shy Guy right afterward.
:Goombella: Look at this! When the members of Koopa Troop and Masteurpiece Enterprise are on the same battle, the one group will alternate between attacking us and the opposing group and vice versa! They might take our Star Points away, so if you want them, take the weakened ones out!
----
Once the player took care of the enemies, the rest of the enemies had made a haste retreat, with most of the Creation Cavaliers on the field left except Baldozo and Passida, the two Buldozzes.
:Baldozo: Phew! This could had been ended up worse. Good thing that we hurried up, because those reckless minions from Masteurpiece would make a disaster here. Why are they here anyways?
:Passida: They had just picked a fight with some minions from another enemy army that is also searching for the Great Power Pencil.
:Baldozo: Yeesh. This means more troubles on the island. I also heard of a glassed, pink-shelled Koopa named "Ray", or "Ron", or whoever it is, carrying a double-sided cannon and seems to look for something else, according to our informers.
:Passida: Whatever his intents are, we do need to keep a close eye if he's acting funny. (Turn to Mario and allies) Oh! Her majesty is here, alongside her new allies.
:Baldozo: (Smiles) Hey! Nice to see you, Rainizia girl! Anything alright?
:Rainizia: Good, good, but I only managed to seal one Creation Crystal, with six more remaining. There's the fact that Masteurpiece had nearly got away with the first one with his big mean Cheep-Cheep machine shall Bloopelly didn't intervened!
:Bloopelly: (Eyes closes a bit, showing some smugness) He he.
:Baldozo: Shoot! That big mean maniac is getting more active than I thought! And not helping the situation is his dreaded Giant Thief! Even I have a hard time dealing with him!
:Passida: And before you could say any word, let us present ourselves; I am Passida and this is my fellow, Baldozo. We are the second-in-commend of Grabiotic, our silly leader. Just in case, knowing you searching for another one, you should contact the HQ with the "Call for Help" option. This way they might have information on how to deal with tougher enemies, giving helpful clues, and more.
:Goombella: This sounds practical and convenient. But I do not think it will solve one thing, and it is the big backtracking the time I was with Mario. We have to keep running into places we were already in just to get a certain Shy Guy! Phooey!
:Baldozo: Don't fret about it! Merlon had talked me about his cousin who can help you on the situation, and--
Passida's WMS is ringing, with a message that is unseen to the audience but have Passida's face frown a bit.
:Passida: This can't be good. Baldozo, we need to head to the Cactus Mountain. We got an individual who is trying to steal a large flower that could release a flooding waterfall if plucked away.
:Baldozo: The Waterfall Flower? We need to intervene then! See you soon, boys and girls!
:Passida: Soon or later, I may add.
Baldozo and Passida jumps off the screen.
:Rainizia: All left is to pay a ticket for a hot air balloon ride!
----
A shop with a ticket sign over the building can be visited after taking care of the enemies.
:Friendly Lakitu: A ticket for a ride? Sure thing! Just be careful up there; I heard rumors about rogues going to the sky.
Hot Balloon Tickets obtained!
----
Not getting the ticket beforehand have the conductor reminding you to get one.
:Conductor Koopa: No tickets, eh? Too bad. You need those tickets for a hot balloon ride. Be sure to head for the kiosk over there if you want some.
Upon talking with the Conductor Koopa with the tickets...
:Conductor Koopa: Going for a balloon ride? And where it would be?
:Mario: Oh! (Jumps)
:Conductor Koopa: Up the sky? You mean the Sky High Municipality? No problems! Please do not put your hands outside of the throat, and enjoy the ride!
----
The throat of the air balloon is large enough for sixteen persons to sit on.
:Goombella: I did not expect a throat this big! Are they sure it can lift?
:Rainizia: We use a special hot air that allows our specially made balloons to carry almost any weight. We should sit now, the balloon should be ready to lift in any second!
Upon sitting down, the tank started to let out a small flame, which cause the hot air balloon to lift and the conductors made sure to make it head to the Sky High Municipality. Bloopelly isn't too pleased with the height.
:Bloopelly: Whoa! I-I did not expected to be transported as this height!
:Goombella: Well, what could we do? I do not think you would be comfortable to transport me and Mario, either.
:Bloopelly: Well, I rather not doing that.
As the air balloon is getting closer to a row of massive clouds with ancient structures built into them, with a trio of clouds also heading to that direction, over the air balloon. Once the air balloon had landed...
:Bloopelly: (Nervously) Woo-Oooo-Ooo! Good thing that I can float, otherwise I do not want to imagine the scenario where I will fall off the clouds!
:Goombella: Well, there are barriers here, so why worrying 'bout that?
:Blooeplly: Oh, well, I... never mind.
:Goombella: We should focus on going seal the next Creation Crystal. Rainizia, can you feel it?
:Rainizia: Not really... But if we get closer to it, I will give a quick speak about it. We should try to head to the Tall Columns over there! (The camera zooms in a bit to the Tall Columns)
:Mario: Okay-dokey!
