=== Chapter 8-1: Minion Mayhem ===
Finally, arriving at New Shroom City, Ian and his friends meet up with Mayor Mush (a parody of the mayor from the Powerpuff Girls series) of New Shroom City, who was seen talking to Mayor Pauline of New Donk City and another woman. This woman is Pauline's Deputy Mayor, Secretary and Aid: Mable. Ian gets an odd feeling that he knows this Mable from somewhere, but suspicions aside, he soon learns that New Shroom City is being attacked by Bowser's Minions. 
Mayor Mush begs Ian to help save the city from this attack, promising him that he will reward him with the key to the city: The Star Key, the final key needed to break the lock block spell! Pauline also has Mable help them by providing tips on where to find most of Bowser's Minions. 
As Mable gives pointers on where Bowser's minions are located, Ian uses all the tricks he's learned over his journey and puts them to the test. 
But while Ian mashes the minions, he notices Mable doing unusual and selfish activities such as Window Browsing, filing her nails, smoking cigarettes and even paying certain minions with sacks of money. Ian finds Mable rather unusual and at some point, he decides to talk to Pauline about her so-called Deputy Mayor. 
But Pauline tells Ian that she managed to figure out why the Mario Bros. got plagued and she'll reveal everything, once he's taken out the root of the whole Minion Uprising: Bowser Junior and the Koopalings, commanding the whole minion army from their mini-airship, just hovering above Clash Tower Observatory (Based on the Clash Tower from Mario Clash). After handing over the kingdom keys to Pauline and Mable, just to keep them safe, Ian climbs the tower, battling hoards of minions until he reaches the top, where he battles B.J. and the Koopalings, all of whom are riding in their fully-armed airship. With help of some Cannon Boxes given to him from Mable, Ian blasts the Koopa Kids away and sends them packing back to Bowser's Castle.

But first, Ian has some tasks to do: First, he has to get something for Pauline: Her purse she left at City Hall.

So Ian is sent on another task through New Shroom City: Head for Mayor Mush's City Hall and get Pauline's Purse.
