Plot Synopsis (BoM 64)

This page is a summary of the events that happened in Book of Mario 64.

## **Intro**

Mario receives a letter from the Princess of Peaches, who is hosting a political party at her fortress, The Princely Palace, and wants Mario to come, as many foreigners want to meet him. Mario and his brother Lewis then head over to Princess of Peaches' fortress in Frog City and get acquainted with some of the guests. Unfortunately, the party is cut short when Browser, leader of the KSDs, uses his castle (Casa Browser) he had under Peach's to raise it into the sky.

Browser then breaks into the fortress along with his right-hand woman, Kamopa Kamopa Koopa Koopa, and attempts to fight Mario, who he seems to have feelings for according to Peach. Midway through the battle, Browser reveals that he stole the Star of Rodin from Star Port, and uses it, claiming that he will boost Mario's strength. To Mario's surprise, Browser instead uses it to suppress his feelings, making him invincible and increasing his power. Unable to win, Mario is defeated by Browser and set flying out of Peach's fortress by a vicious lightning attack, falling to his death.

## **Open Start: Star Contract**

After the capturing of The Princely Palace by Browser and his army, the Stellarvinden discover Mario's corpse in Vila de Goomba. Planning to rope him into their schemes, they revive and possess him. Shortly after, a female Gum arrives and takes Mario to an inn in Vila de Goomba. As Mario is resting, Fire, one of the Stellarvinden from earlier, appears and informs Mario that he wants him for their Star Conference Team. Unfortunately, Fire does not have the right to say more to Mario, and only tells him to go to Star Peak in Frog City when he awakens.

Mario, now under the Stellarvinden's control, visits the members of the Goombar family before attempting to leave through Jeff, the eastern city gate. Unfortunately, Kamopa Kamopa intercepted Mario, expecting that he had survived, and used a yellow block to kill Jeff and block the eastern way out of Vila de Goomb. Thankfully, Goombape Goombar knew that his father's Goomba Hammer could be used to unload the block, and sends Mario over to get it from his father. When Mario arrives, the Porch of the Kaatuavan and Goomb are gone, and Mario falls from where the porch once was. He then finds Goomb, who tells him they can't get home due to a troublemaking block hosting a blog. Mario also learns that Goomb lost his hammer, which he sets off to find, but not before being warned to watch out for Mark.

Mario quickly finds the Goomba Hammer and uses it to hack *Book of Mario 64* to unload the block in the way so he and Goomb can return to Vila de Goomb. However, this angers Captain Mr. Mark Trooper, Chairman of the Quarter Group, who attacks Goomb and Mario for using legs without his consent. Mario easily defeats him (even though Mr. Trooper claims he won), and Mr. Trooper runs away, stating he will be back (he thinks). After returning to Vila de Goomb, Mario is thanked by Goomb's grandchildren, Goombaru and Goverman, the latter of which is Mario's biggest admirer and joins him on his adventure to spread the word of Virgin Mary. After hacking out the yellow block Kamopa Kamopa summoned, Goombape thanks Mario for avenging Jeff before giving him some advice: "Be woke. Be cool. A calm spirit is smarter."

On the way to Frog City, Mario and Goverman run into Goomba Cock and Goomba Gorm, two colored Gum siblings working under King of Goomba, who is working for Browser. They attempt to fight Mario, but lose and run away to get help from their king, lying that Mario "touched" them. King of Goomba, angry that his henchmen were supposedly violated, also fights and loses to Mario and hides in his tower. Unfortunately, Goomba Cock left a switch that turns the tower into a bridge outside in a bush, and the trio is sent flying after Mario hits it.

Back at Peach's fortress, Kamopa Kamopa reports back to Browser that King of Goomba was defeated, and that Mario was trying to rescue the Star Ghosts of Stellarvinden. Browser is worried that Mario will hit him, but Kamopa comforts him that all will be fine as long as he hugs the Star of Rodin. Still, Browser worries that the Star Ghosts will try to exploit Mario and that he'll free the one at Benteng Coop Notes. Just then, the Coop Notes arrived back from the Goomakon convention and reassure Browser they'll give Mario scars in seconds with their special move, which they demonstrate. This works, and Browser asks them to record the beat down, but stops himself when he realizes that, since the Coop Notes are here, no one is guarding Benteng Coop Notes. He then calls the group retards and tells them to get back to Benteng to guard the Star Ghost.

Returning to Mario, he soon arrives back to Frog City, where a Frog tells him that the city exploded (probably when Browser attacked). Mario also reunites with Lewis, who is happy to see him but gets jealous when seeing Goverman. By going east of where The Princely Palace used to be, Mario reaches Star Peak, where Fire is waiting for him. The Stellarvinden then tell him about their job at Star Port. They then say that Browser started a war, attacking their home and stealing the Star of Rodin.

This is all because they caused him to be infatuated with Mario, as they couldn't ignore his self desires to "buy Mario" and "want Princess Peaches that [he] wants". However, they then claim that the Star of Rodin ITSELF brought Browser to Star Port, implying that it is the real villain and is just using Browser. Regardless, the Stellarvinden ask Mario to return the Star of Rodin to them to end the war Browser started and bring peace. They also ask that he save them first, as he'll need their help to overcome the Star of Rodin's power. Unfortunately, one of the Stellarvinden members gets tired of talking to Mario and abruptly ends the Star Conference.

### Peach Interlude 0:

After his conversation with the Coop Notes, Browser and Kamopa Kamopa visit Princess of Peaches to tell her that they've cut the phone lines to her fortress, preventing Mario and anyone else from contacting her. They then leave after telling her to enjoy her visit, since he technically owns the fortress now due to it being on his castle.

Right after, Peach is visited by a young Star named Tinka, who she assumes is here to help her. Much to her dismay, Tinka immediately says goodbye and prepares to leave. Peach talks him out of this and asks him to help rescue everyone trapped in the fortress, only to be rejected again, as Tinka doesn't trust her for some reason. With no other options, Peach gives Tinka an item and asks him to take it to Mario. Tinka mishears this as Mary, and assumes he needs to find another princess named after Virgin Mary. He then announces that he's now hunting princesses and prepares to leave, but is stopped once again by Peach, who asks him to tell Mario "I feel good and don't worry" in red text when they meet.

### Pre-Section 1:

As Mario is leaving Star Peak to begin his quest, Tinka falls out of the sky, hitting him on the head. Despite thinking he's not Mario, Tinka hands over the item he received from Peach, referring to her as the Shafq Prince. It is revealed that the item in question is a Happy Star, which allows Mario to use Operating Procedures. Mario gets a chance to test out these Operating Procedures when Irrispettajtni, a Magi Coop under Kamopa Kamopa's command arrives, claiming he wants to work for Mario. Whether this is true or not, he is effortlessly defeated by Mario, who then heads back to Frog City.

There, he's informed by Jalan Kertas "Merlot" Merloni (in a confusing and vague manner) that he needs to head to Koopa City in the east, where he will find the first Star Ghost. Mario is barred from heading there as four dark-colored Frogs block the way. Merloni then reveals they are actually the Blood, Nigra, Core, and Green of the Coop Notes, who flee back to Benteng Coop Notes. Merlot then tells Mario to help the "blue Koopa shell" before allowing him to head to Koopa City.

## **Section 1: Fortuna Koopa Records**

After a brief stroll through the fields east of Frog City in the Best Way, Mario arrives in Koopa City, only to find out it's been overrun by Smokers who are terrorizing the citizens and stealing their shells/houses/boats/hats. One citizen, who was kicked out of his large shell house by a Smoker, recognizes Mario, referring to him as Mary Tat, and introduces himself as Corporate, a very questionable businessman, before asking him to retrieve his hat. Mario goes into Corporate's backyard, pursuing the Smoker that stole the hat. He is later forced to play a memorization game with a group of Smokers, during which one of them recognizes Mario from the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. Eventually, Mario retrieves and returns Corporate's shell.

After the Smoker ordeal is over, Corporate mentions a professor by the name of Colorade, whom he owns. Apparently, Corporate is looking for him and asks to join Mario in search of his mentor. Mario accepts, and the group heads off to Benteng Coop Notes after a quick fight with some angry Smokers. Before leaving Koopa City, though, Mario meets a strange quizmaster named Paul who claims himself to be "the favorite of all", who despite asking seemingly nonsensical questions, seems to reveal something to Mario.

When the gang arrives at Benteng Coop Notes, Nigra welcomes them before running into the fortress. Mario chases him down, running into Green along the way, who tells him that there may be some games in the fortress before fleeing as well. Once again, Mario chases the Coop Notes member down, but ends up quite literally falling into a trap set by Core of the Coop Notes. After landing in a jail cell, Mario meets Bowler Bombay de Brucelle, who worked at the Office of Management and Budget in the fortress before Browser and the Germans took over and locked up all the Bob Beruns there. Bowler planned to start an uprising against Browser, but couldn't escape from the cell. Mario helps her and the Bob Beruns out, blowing a hole in a cracked section of the cell wall and fighting off the KSD Soldiers that come to check on them.

With Bowler now helping Mario and company out, the group heads further into the Benteng Coop Notes, reaching a bridge leading over to another part of the fortress. However, they are stopped by Blood Koopa, manager of the Coop Notes, who brings out 3 expensive The Explosions to fire at Mario while also threatening that he can delete the ground if the situation calls for it. He doesn't follow through on this threat though, and Mario destroys the The Explosions and heads into the eastern part of Benteng Coop Notes.

Here, the Coop Notes finish constructing a fake Browser known as Browser???, which they planned to use to fight Mario and remove the patches on the Book of Mario 64 ROM, effectively destroying the entire world. This fails however, as Mario destroys Browser???, causing it to explode and forcing the Coop Notes to use their special attack, Koopy Towers, but even that fails. Upon their defeat, the Coop Notes get knocked into the cell the Bob Beruns were in, and remain trapped there as their former prisoners escape, including Fire of the Stellarvinden.

### Peach Interlude 1:

In a revealing moment, The Princess of Peaches announces that she is hard for Tinka and will focus on homicide during her time in captivity. To escape the "secret section", the two agree to enlist the help of a character named G, who is never mentioned or encountered. Impatient, they depart their room and are soon met with a confused Ecopetrol who wonders which Princess Peach it should capture. After receiving the requested reinforcement, the two Ecopetrols return Peach to her room.

Looking for an alternative way out, they discover a button behind a painting which extinguishes the flames of the fireplace Mario loves. The two snoop on Browser's personal blog, although Tinka reads on Peach's behalf to compensate for the latter's illiteracy. Browser walks in on the two and is stunned to find that the contents of his secret text to speech blog have been spilled. Furious, he calls two other Ecopetrols to evict her from his room.

### Pre-Section 2:

After being freed from Benteng Coop Notes, Fire shows appreciation for what Mario has done thus far, and grants him the ability to use the spiritual sea in battle. Fire then teaches Mario how to use Star Power, but in an extremely confusing way (even admitting himself that he isn't very good at explaining it), before asking Mario to rescue the remaining six Stellarvinden from Browser's control.

Mario is then ambushed again by Mr. Trooper, who insists that he's going to do Mario and that "the baby is coming." He reveals a new skill he has received, where he hides in his shell to make arms useless. Nonetheless, Mario manages to defeat him. After returning to Frog City, Mario encounters Tinka, who tells him that Peach is apparently dead, in spite of following events disproving this. Mario then proceeds to ride a train into Strong Attachment after clearing a boulder that was on the way.

## **Section 2: The Secret Remains Dry**

After Mario reaches the Strong Attachment headquarters, he bumps into Parakarius, a confused Skydiver (who also appears to be a postman), who questions why Mario is Mario and seems not to know that he is supposed to deliver the letters he receives. He then asks Mario to find three of his lost Papers so he can find out if he can answer a letter, since his job depends on it. Mario traverses through Strong Attachment to find the three letters and returns them to Parakarius, who then wishes to be rewarded for Mario's help before agreeing to accompany him on his quest.

Mario then reaches Dry Dry Dry, located inside Dry and Dry (which, as the name suggests, is dry) and eventually meets the Castle of Jarawleka, Muststafs, who gives Mario his Heart Rate, claiming that it is key to finding "a dry Nixxfin runway". Using the Heart Rate, Mario finds the entrance to an ancient sand castle known as Dry too Dry. Once Mario enters the castle, a voice immediately informs them it is Easter and orders them to leave, "or will it happen to [Mario] a catastrophe." Undeterred, Mario presses onward by using Destructions to progress deeper into the sand castle. The voice from earlier continues their threats, upset that Mario refuses to care about their feelings and even threatening that their mother will turn Mario into sand. Despite this, Mario continues onward, eventually forcing with the Super Hammer.

Finally, Mario reaches the chamber of Full Coop, the source of all the threats. As Goverman's Gossip explains, he founded a volunteer center named Chomps, which was seriously assaulted. Full Coop continues to exhibit tsundere behavior as they battle. Eventually, Mario defeats him, freeing the second Stellarvinden, Nurse.

### Peach Interlude 2:

Browser enters Princess of Peach's room, feeling the need to ask her if she is indeed a princess before telling her that Mario (who he refers to as Batman) has defeated both the Coop Notes and Full Coop. He then reveals that he is actually loyal to "the king," which is most likely the Star of Rodin. Kamopa Kamopa then enters, informing Browser that they have problems before whispering information about souls traveling to Tubbs Fat Fort. Browser yells out this information, allowing Peach and Tinka to hear it. Tinka tells Peach about an "insurmountable" Clubb named Tubbs Fat, and questions whether Mario could possibly defeat him.

Tinka and Peach sneak into the library to overhear a conversation between an Ecopetrol and a Hammer Boss about Tubbs Fat, where they state that he lives on **HOPE PROCELLOUS**, and that he will "lose it secretly if he comes out," implying that he does indeed have a weakness. Unfortunately, Tinka and Peach are discovered when Peach yells out Tubbs' name, causing them to be sent back into Peach's room.

### Pre-Section 3:

Nurse thanks Mario for rescuing her, and displays confidence that she will take over Mario's task of Princess Peach, though she never actually does this. She then powers up Star Mario by 2 before telling Mario that he will have a bad time and making her leave. Mario then returns to Frog City, and he finds a cowardly Frog guard who had the spirit of the law before him, and says that was the spirit is located in the jungle. Mario manages to find this spirit, who requests that Mario call the villa in Eternal Hell and informs him that their master has important information about the Stellarvinden. Mario agrees to the spirit's request and enters Eternal Hell to find the spirit's master.

## **Section 3: "Inappropriate" Tubbs**

Mario and his party, upon entering the maze-like Eternal Hell, meet Oakland, a guardian of sorts whose function is to protect pedestrians from the forest's dangers. He explains that the only way to succeed is to call the Bumpie House, also known as the Boo House, home of the spirit of the law and all their fellow Bumpies. There, they finally meet the spirit and their master, introducing themselves as Abu Boots Alcohol and Lady Garlic, respectively. Abu Boots explains that Tubbs Fat has been eating all the space food, forcing the Bumpies to resort to cannibalism.

Being Satanists, the Bumpies attempted to raise Satan from Hell to retrieve their space food, but this plan failed due to Tubbs Fat's invincibility. The Bumpies then tried to arrest and sacrifice Tubbs Fat, but this also failed due to Scientist, the third of the Stellarvinden, being arrested in his place, making it so that the Bumpies could only arrest his sentient heart. Garlic then asks Mario to assist her in finishing off Tubbs Fat for good, and joins Mario's party as the "last member" before they head for Tubbs Fat Fort in Jerk Gulch, off the edge of Dubai.

Reaching Jerk Gulch, Mario and Garlic witness Tubbs Fat eat Stanley the Bumpy. The group then finally reaches Tubbs Fat Fort and sneaks into Tubbs Fat's bedroom, where they discover that the secret to his invincibility lies in the Milly Mill, which they need a key to access. Unfortunately, Yakuki, the key to the mill and also known as the Mystic Button, screams, awakening a sleeping Tubbs Fat, who then chases Mario around the fort.

With the help of some Bumpies, Mario is able to escape and head into the Milly Mill, where they find Koro Tubby, Tubbs Fat's sentient heart. Mario eventually defeats Koro Tubby, who bounces out of the mill and reunites with Tubbs Fat, rendering him vulnerable. Mario then battles and quickly defeats Tubbs Fat, who releases all the Bumpies he ate, and flees in tears. Garlic then makes fun of Tubbs Fat (namely his lack of mental tranquility) before freeing Abu Boots and Scientist.

### Peach Interlude 3:

Peach and Tinka express awe in Mario's ability to defeat Tubbs Fat. They then witness Browser yelling about his internet being stolen, after which Kamopa informs him of Tubbs Fat's defeat, causing Browser to curse out at Mario in a foreign language. Kamopa then states that he can go to **the box** next to Mario, and the two begin to discuss preparations. Browser then notices Peach and asks her about what two things she wants, then about a military man with the art of life, and finally what she hates. Browser then commands Kamopa to get out and take the princess dress to her room, implying that he wants Peach's clothes taken off. However, the two Ecopetrols that are summoned do to this simply return Peach to her room instead.

### Pre-Section 4:

Scientist, breaking the fourth wall, welcomes the player back to Mario before stating that she has no idea what to do at this point. She then asks Mario's help in ensuring the Stellarvinden make the correct decision before allowing Mario Star 3 to rise, allowing Mario to use the power of the ocean. Scientist then tells Mario some bad news: that Browser's force is feeling life getting stronger, leaving soon after.

Mario then returns to Frog City to see the city being overrun by Shame Boys, a group of Russian hackers that corrupted the data on the city's network, as well as stealing the belongings of the inhabitants. Mario traces the source of the group into a vacant house, and, using Garlic's Real Vision ability, observes a Shame Boy opening a hidden door into the Stupid Guy Guy Box.

## **Section 4: A Job In The Toy Field**

Mario enters the Stupid Guy Guy Box and quickly engages into battles with many different Shame Boys, such as Heavenly Men, Pyro Boys, Groove Faces, Espionages, and optionally Anti-Man (also known as Death), as he explores the area (with Goverman expressing his distaste for all but a few of them). Mario is also forced to feed Mr. Gourmet, a huge Shame Boy, "bread of bad reputation."

During his time in Stupid Guy Guy Box, he recovers some of the items that the gang stole from the residents of Frog City, such as Reavph's Pocket PC, Russ Zvoq Tito's Russian Glossary, and Taycom's Bread/skin. Kamopa Kamopa also places items and enemies relating to Peach's answers from the previous interlude around the Stupid Guy Guy Box in attempts to hinder Mario's progress.

Eventually Mario reaches the Red Center base, where he fights and defeats the Lighthouse God that had imprisoned Smoke, a tiny light baby with low self-esteem. After Mario frees Smoke from the lantern she is held captive in, she promptly joins Mario's party.

Mario then finds the base of operations of the Shame Boys, including their leader Common Man, ordered to guard the 4th member of the Stellarvinden, Muscles; however, Common Man finds guarding Muscles to be annoying and declares that he wants to lose. Mario ultimately defeats Common Man, thereby causing the Shame Boy Tough Gang, revealed to be the gang's full name, to disband, leaving behind Muscles for Mario to free.

### Peach Interlude 4:

Over the course of Section 4, Peach and Tinka appear to have developed a bond strong enough for them to call one another names, with Tinka being called "bitch" by Peach just as the interlude begins. However, Tinka dislike being called that so much he starts not caring much for Peach. They then discuss using a confidential line (perhaps to communicate with Mario through) and note that Browser has many legs, making him seem less scary to them than before. The two then make their way into a room with Mr. Gourmet and are forced to bake a battery-flavored pasta cake with the correct ingredients.

While working through this task, Peach and Tinka slowly become more kinky and sensual, culminating in Tinka asking Peach to "seduce [him] with cream and flowers." After the player properly follows a recipe for "Special Cutters", which included skipping steps, heads in ovens and a loud Tinka, Mr. Gourmet rates the cake 7 out of 10 and talks to them about Laval Ava Land and asks them to tell Mario that he should go there next. Kamopa Kamopa then appears in the room and calls on guards to once again return Peach and Tinka to their room.

### Pre-Section 5:

Muscle notes how he was trapped for so long before telling Mario that Mario Star Energy 4 is coming, allowing him to chill out using Star Star Power, which turns him into a 3-year-old granddaughter when used. Tinka appears and Muscles thinks it is Mario's child, and seemingly forgets Tinka's name, seeing as he never says it (despite him saying he remembered it), which somehow impresses Tinka (though it might be sarcasm on his part). Muscles then states his need to say goodbye, which he then does, and returns to Star Port.

With Muscles gone, Tinka explains to Mario that the young star was honored on the island of St. Laval, believing that this information was royal and useful to Mario before stating his need to return to the end of Princess Peach.

The Frog City Info Flash then reveals that Mario was framed by the Shame Boys as having escaped Star Prison, forcing Mario to flee to Frog City's harbor to escape arrest. They meet up with Colorade and discover a large bicycle who has lost control of his stomach because of a Phujjipede named I'm Crazy, whom Mario defeats after entering the whale's mouth. As thanks, the whale offers to take Mario and Colorade wherever the whale wants to go, which just so happens to be Laval Ava Land, which both of them wanted to go to anyway. While Colorade claims he wanted to go the island to solve the mystery of diabetes, he actually went there to meet his girlfriend, called Fire Boat.

## **Section 5: Lava Is Hot**

Upon reaching Laval Ava Land, Colorade immediately rushes to Matt Lava, which he dubs "the superior Matt". However, he is soon attacked by a Delaware Fang. After Mario saves Colorade, the two go the village of Vas Yoshi, home to the Yoshis. They tell Mario that their Chief told them to go away from the volcano because it looked like a lot. They also tell of a Chep Cheese named Sushiya that was supposed to take care of the children, but instead she gives drugs to the Yoshis, and that the kids are afraid to go to Gem Forest, the jungle nearby, because there's a "funny beeping" there.

Mario and Colorade continue on their way to Matt Lava, until the latter is attacked by a Man's Hand. After rescuing Colorade, the two discover the entrance to the volcano. However, it is unreachable, as a big lava river blocks their path. Colorade believes asking the Yoshis for directions (and not information, since that's what makes a good researcher, according to Colorade) is the best idea for now. When returning to Vas Yoshi, they discover that the Yoshi Kids went missing.

This happened because of Sushiya, who made the adults use drugs, which let the kids go to Gem Forest. The Chief mistakes Mario for someone named John because of this, but still orders him to go find the children. While the Chief was trying to calm Josh, one of the Yoshis, Mario visited the Ravennas, who said that Mario's arrival was told to them by the stars, possibly showing connections with the Stellarvinden. Nevertheless, Mario ventures into Gem Forest to find the kids.

Soon after, he finds Sushiya on top of a tree. Calling Mario by the name "Phillip", she reveals that she ran on that tree because he was embarrassing. Still, she orders him to take her out of the tree, which Mario does using his Hammer. Sushiya tells Mario that she was following the kids and then fell (on the tree, apparently) and that she must find them before "deepening too much". Though Sushiya initially refused Mario to join her, she changed her mind and said they could look for the kids together. Sushiya joins Mario as the 7th Band Member.

Using Sushiya's diving abilities, Mario was able to rescue all of the kids (who were playing hide-and-seek). Upon arriving again in Vas Yoshi, the Yoshis started to think Mario had children and also sold them. They also tell him to look for the Chief, who recommends that Mario should go to the owner of the island, Raphaela Gavranasa, a huge Ravenna. To do that, he gives Mario the Dad Crow (or the Jade Raven-t-Raphaela), a jade sculpture that when put in a statue, opens the way to the deep forest, where Raphaela lives.

Mario finds Raphaela on top of a big tree. He tries to make Mario leave, only returning if Mario had a problem. Mario tells him that he can't reach Matt Lava, to which Raphaela insists that's not his problem. Raphaela had received a message from the stars that Mario would arrive (possibly the Stellarvinden), and decides to take care of the "hill country of the problem". The huge Ravenna calls then others of his species to help him.

Ordering Mario to follow him, Raphaela reaches the place where the lava river was. The other Ravennas create an elevator in a tree nearby, of which Mario could zipline right on the volcano's entrance. Colorade, bored by the construction and thirsty for ancient treasures, immediately runs to the elevator. Before Mario leaves, the Ravenna gives Mario the Rock. It allows him to upgrade his Band Members to ultra-rank, unless Mario finds a great mansion, since it won't work there. Then, Raphaela left to give his wife "a big crisis".

Upon entering Matt Lava, a Death of Piran kindly warns Mario that a new boss would be incoming. He also found Colorade, who was "feeling danger" and having fun with some sinking plataforms, despite him falling on lava most of the time. After some exploration, Mario found the Ultra Hammer, which allowed him to break metal blocks and also block metal with his hat. At the edge of the volcano, the new boss, Piranha's Life, appeared. Despite having a little passion for Mario and trying to warn him that he would be served as food for the "bad guys", she was defeated and Star, the fifth of the Stellarvinden, was rescued. Or so Mario thought...

It turns out that, with Piranha's Life defeated, Matt Lava started an eruption. Despite Colorade's pleas to get the chest in which his girlfriend, Fire Boat, was stored, Star ignored it and took Mario and Colorade out of the raging volcano. The chest, having survived the eruption, flew to Gem Forest.

### Peach Interlude 5:

Peach, contemplating the events of the previous interlude, walks around, as if she is considering calling Tinka "bitch" like she did before; however, she ultimately decides against this and simply says hello to him and asks him if he'd like to go for a swim, while Tinka insists that they go fishing instead. Eventually, Peach caves and they leave the room to prepare to fish; however, they run into an Ecopetrol, who prepares to take Peach back to her room until they are stopped by a very poetic Hammer Boss who insists that Peach can be the third player in a quiz show, where they will not tell Browser about Peach exiting her room if she wins.

Peach agrees and the *64th Competition Questions and Answers* begins. In this quiz, it is revealed that Browser is an environmentalist and wishes to use the Star of Rodin to save the environment, further calling into question Mario's actions. Regardless of Peach's performance, she receives the Smiling Umbrella, which is named Sasak, for participating. Browser then enters the room where the quiz is held, wanting to play, but gets upset when he realizes the quiz is already over. He then notices Peach, and once again summons guards to return Peach to her room.

### Pre-Section 6:

Soon after his escape from Matt Lava, Colorade mourns the "death" of his girlfriend. Star gets angry with that, since "no treasure is as valuable as life" (which is ironic, coming from one of the Stellarvinden) and that Colorade should at least thank her for the flight. She also remembers that the island has become more dangerous because of Browser's absence (because of his enviromentalist manners). Star makes Mario Energy Star update on the 5th (day), which makes Mario capable of using himself to measure things. Before leaving, Star tells Mario that he will see the true Lord soon.

Mario can find the chest containing Fire Boat on Gem Forest. By returning it to Colorade, he gives Mario the Son's Vote in exchange for it. He reveals then that the Babuart on the forest gave the seed to him after the former gave a class to the latter. Colorade then heads to the Bicycle to leave the island. While the Yoshis try to ban Mario from the island, the Chief only seems worried about Matt Lava's explosion. This is because it caused him to have a stroke, and thus not being able to move.

As Mario and Colorade are leaving Laval Ava Land, they see Mr. Trooper arriving on the island by swimming. Wanting to be admired by Mario, he soon returns to Frog City as well. Upon arriving there, Colorade leaves to Koopa City with his girlfriend (Fire Boat), just as a tired Mr. Trooper reaches and attacks Mario. When noticing his HP went to half due to the swimming, he tries to make Mario not able to attack him, but to no avail. Mario leaves him angry with himself for losing his cell phone while swimming.

One of the Frogs, Sain-Minh, tells Mario that he needs four types of seeds that are allowed by the local authorities of the city. Mario needs to gather each seed from a different Babuart: besides the Son's Vote, the Merry Seed, from the one in Frog City; the Magic Seed, from the Strong Attachment Babuart; and the Witch Seed from the one at Eternal Hell. By giving all of the seeds to Sain-Minh's Flower Garden, a strange door appears, which leads to the field of flowers, according to the female Frog. Mario enters the door.

## **Section 6: Flowers and Dark Flowers**

Mario exits the door, now at Caeau Blodaua, home of the Babuarts. He is greeted by a large tree called Wisewood Wisewood, who believes that Mario's arrival meant that the Holy Spirit was with them. Wisewood mentions that someone named Huff N. Blovas attacked their country and gave them clouds. The tree mentions that Blovas is located at a place called Small Cloud, way up in the sky, that's unreachable now. Wisewood then tells Mario to see a flower called Petunia, which according to the tree, had a magic prayer. The Babuarts warn Mario, however, that Petunia is a drug addict, which they call "Mania Seed".

When Mario reaches Petunia, he complains about someone named Monty, who sent his Moles to attack Petunia's roots, making them aroused. After Mario defeats the Moles, Petunia gives him the Magic, arguing that his drugs saved everyone. There, Mario also finds a Red Bay, that opens a path to another flower, Posium, who gives Mario a Smooth Earth. Using the Green Yellow found near Posium's tree, Mario gets to Lilyk, a worried flower that asks Mario to find "rock water".

It turns out a rose called Rosie has the "rock water". However, he asks Mario something in exchange for it. Posium gives Mario the Crystal Gem, which makes Rosie give Mario the Wasserstein. It makes Lilyk's spring return, and he gives Mario the Very Wet for his efforts. Mario now has all of the "ingredients" to reach Small Cloud, but the sun is still covered. Mario finds who is thought to be the sun, Livio. However, he's not the actual sun, and only serves to make everyone believe he's the sun. Despite being depressed, Livio tells Mario of the Puff Puff Machine located at the east of Caeau Blodaua, which needs to be destroyed.

On his way to destroy "puff pastry", Mario finds a confused Pillow Case who seems to have forgotten his name. While Goverman falls in love with the Pillow Case, Mario beats him in a battle. The enemy tells Mario that "you are difficult with your nails" and that he wants to quit. Then, his girlfriend appears, asking Mario not to hurt him, now revealed as Ceramics. He tells his girlfriend, Legend, that he wants to change his name similarly to Ghidtlek. Despite wanting to "watch music", he tells Mario that he doesn't want to work for Huff N. Blovas anymore.

Ceramics then decides to join Mario's Concert. Because of the former's ability to go through spiky/nail surfaces without getting hurt, Mario reaches the Puff Puff Machine. Defeating easily the resistence (some Pillow Cases and a hispanic Yellow Magi Coop), he destroyed the machine, making the sun shine again on Caeau Blodaua. Now, Small Cloud is reachable. By putting the Smooth Earth, the Magic and the Very Wet in that order, a giant beanstalk grows up to Blovas' home.

Upon reaching Small Cloud, Mario encounters Huff N. Blovas, who only now discovers Ceramics' betrayal. He expresses his desires to kick Mario's ass and reveals he has King Star Onion's spirit with him. Blovas then engages Mario to make him pay for all his crimes. After a hard fought battle against Blovas and his Pants, he gets the Possum disease and explodes, letting Mario rescue the sixth of the Stellarvinden, Kevin.

### Peach Interlude 6:

Peach is talking to Tinka about a secret umbrella they "showed in the test" and wonders if they can use it when they use it. Knowing they can't get out of there, Peach gets worried, which Tinka jokes that he can escape. After sneaking out of the room, Peach uses the Smiling Umbrella they got to disguise as an Ecopetrol. They overhear a conversation about a secret weapon called Nimmark designed by Browser to beat Mario. Browser's minions also started to believe that Peach was on two periods.

Wanting to find the weapon, Peach and Tinka find that the way to it is blocked. An Ecopetrol will only let them through if they can find a Clubb who was missing work, referred to as a table. Given a Lock Key, Peach finds the Clubb in question sleeping at the Palace's entrance. However, it was too sleepy to arrest Peach, who takes advantage of this to become the Clubb with Sasak.

Now able to get past the Ecopetrol, who decided to retire, Peach and Tinka make their way to Nimmark. However, Kamopa Kamopa appears to tell the minions that the weapon was ready. She also initially mistakes Peach for the Clubb, congratulating "it" for being there, "doing" its job. However, Kamopa noticed that the Clubb was staying still for too long, and cast a spell at "it". Surprised, Kamopa claims about the good weather and asks the Ecopetrols nearby to join a contest. They instead bring Peach to their room.

### Pre-Section 7:

Kevin introduces himself to Mario, explaining that Caeau Blodaua "can not live in peace again". Among some confusing phrases, he makes Mario Star increase by 6, which tells Mario to "reuse the spirit of star energy", while also granting the power of stopping enemies on their tracks. However, this will only work during the Middle Ages. Kevin also warns Mario that the power has also the power of Cuba. Before leaving, Kevin asks Mario to bring a star (even though he knew Mario wouldn't do that). He states how much he didn't care much about Mario not obeying him (probably because he was already possessed) and leaves.

Mario heads back to Frog City and goes to speak to Merloni for directions. He finds Merloni talking to a ninja, who confuses Mario for someone named Maryland and talks about some place called Nature Valley. Merloni decides to finally reveal that he's Mario's father (even mentioning about the Runs Well Crest) and telling him to head to Involved City to speak with Maryland. While searching the Construction Tunnels for a pipe that leads to that place, Mario finds extra shoes that allowed him to do a tornado jump, and thus reach a door that leaded to a pipe to Involved City.

## **Section 7: Hard Mirror of the Soul**

Mario exits the pipe to Involved City, only to discover it is full of suspicious penguins, who won't let Mario leave the city to go to Nature Valley, where Maryland lives. Mario goes to talk to President Harper, the leader of the city, about reaching the Valley, only to find the president is apparently dead. His wife, Carla, names Mario as her man, while a detective, Dodd, discovers a note pointing to Oxford Herringvai, a novelist and gamer, written by Lao Sin. Mario goes to find Herringvai to clear his name and discovers he's been killing Market Penguins on the side, but this clears his name when it turns out Harper isn't dead after all.

Harper allows Mario to leave the city. Much to the latter's surprise, he finds none other than Mr. Trooper, who believed that the magic skills he recently learned would be able to defeat Mario. After another defeat, Mr. Trooper is left defeated and later frozen. Mario then meets a creature called Mustard, who tries to make Mario flee, only to also be beaten. However, it's revealed than Mustard was made out of Star Kids (Tinka's species), who flee instead. Now able to enter his destination, Mario finds Maryland in Nature Valley, who tells him to speak to the spirit of Merlina to open the way, but not before talking about Star Birth Brewery, a place that sells ice cream in Nature Valley.

Maryland gives him Pants as part of a secret passage, and Mario finds the Canister from Harper. The passage said by Maryland is opened when these things are used, leading to Mt. Titration, where the Glass Castle lies on top. While climbing the mountain, a Two-dimensional Soul impersonates Corporate, but Mario is able to distinguish between the fake and the real deal and presses on. Merlina tells Mario to go to Birmingham and gives him a Stone Star to open the way to the Glass Castle.

Once inside, Mario traverses through the castle, encountering more Two-dimensional Souls who impersonate Bowler, and others who try to impersonate Corporate but end up copying Lewis, Koop Kotu, Goomb, and Colorade. After solving the puzzle of the human hair, he meets the boss of the Glass Castle, the King of Kings, who is actually the Christian God and creator of the last member of the Stellarvinden, Karl Marquez. He offers Mario advice to convince "them" (presumably the Stellarvinden, and perhaps trying to convince them to free Mario from their possession), and that Mario should present a gift to Browser. However, Mario decides to fight the King of Kings and his Christians. Ultimately, Mario defeats the King of Kings, starting the end of the world, and also freeing Karl Marquez.

### Final Peach Interlude:

Peach is at the balcony next to their room, wondering if they even got to help Mario. Tinka believes that is true, stating that "Mario knows everything". Peach, calling Tinka bald, decides to return to the bedroom. Browser also enters the room, asking Peach if he was high there. He talks about how there are no pills at the Palace, while Peach talks about Browser's problem of never stopping to type Mario. Browser, showing that the Star of Rodin has been influencing him, declares that Mario "has no game" for him and that their relation is history.

Kamopa Kamopa arrives to warn Browser of the bad news (Mario rescuing all of the Stellarvinden), and also tells him about a chance of him being able to make his check, which makes Browser really excited. Browser then tells Kamopa to close the door of Casa Browser to stop Mario from entering it, and thus not being able to reach them. He also reveals his desire to kill Mario and have his head. Browser then calls two Ecopetrols to tye up Peach. Surprisingly, Tinka betrays Peach, telling Browser that he's awesome and hitting Peach in the process. Despite that, Browser knocks Tinka out the window thinking he's confetti and orders his Ecopetrols to take Peach to Browser's weapon.

### Pre-Section 8:

Karl Marquez thanks Mario for coming and tells him to save his soul; he does not have to go. His power increases Mario's Star Energy in seven years, and gives him the stellar power to go away. He also talks about Victoria Harbor (Victoria Harbor) and Starway to Heaven, which will play when Mario reaches Star Port via Street Names of Star Trek. He prays for the world's salvation.

Before heading to confront Browser, Mario completes all of Paul's quiz questions now that the End of Time has been reached, learning from the final question that only seven people still believe in the stars. He then heads to Frog City to visit Star Peak, where the road to Star Port, known as Stellar Street, is opened. The Stellarvinden await his arrival and a 7-star alcohol and give him their final power, the Laser Gun, which can counteract the Star of Rodin. They prepare the Star Star Star Ship, which requires Mario to get naked to ascend to Casa Browser. As he heads off, citizens of Frog City make wishes on the shooting star.

## **Section 8: The Star, What Was That?**

The ship makes its way to Casa Browser and Mario and his team venture inside. Browser's plan to close the door to the castle almost works, but Mario still manages to find the key (the Green Green) and enters Casa Browser. Several of the enemies are afraid to confront him, and he encounters many obstacles, including lava-filled rooms, torchlight puzzles, and The Guardians of Casa Browser, Browser-faced doors. One of them drops Mario into a prison cell where he meets a Frog interested in joining the 10-Nauties in Iran. It's also revealed that the Frogs were made to believe that Peach was arrested for gambling.

Mario climbs his way back up and encounters another guardian, who gives him a difficult quiz show where he can optionally fight three Anti-Man enemies. After defeating a Two-dimensional Soul impersonating Peach, Mario makes his way to the third door and encounters the Coop Notes, who learned new techniques and are supporting Cuban brothers (meaning they maybe had an influence in the Cuban Revolution). Out of nowhere, Mr. Trooper appears and knocks them out. Now Goverman's husband, and determined to stop the oncoming War, Mr. Trooper fights Mario, but is defeated. Mario presses onward to The Princely Palace.

The Palace is mainly deserted, but Mario finds Todd, a Frog hiding in a closet who wakes up whenever someone is wrong; he can rest there if he so chooses. Mario heads to where the story began and finds Peach dangling from the ceiling, and is confronted by Browser. Browser recognizes that he is not actually Mario and wonders what he can do, and reaffirms his resolve to kill him once again. Browser uses the Star of Rodin to become invincible as he did in the prologue, but Mario uses the Laser Gun to nullify its effect. After Mario defeats him, Browser retreats with Peach to his secret weapon, and Mario follows.

The two meet up atop Nimmark: a platform devised by Kamopa Kamopa to increase Browser's power. Peach tells Mario to pay attention, and Kamopa and Browser then explain how they were fully aware of the Stellarvinden's true intentions - purging the world of those who did not believe in them - and note that they were not "stupid enough to sit and watch life be destroyed." Kamopa then activates the platform, increasing Browser's size and power, and Browser begins to battle Mario in attempts to release him from the Stellarvinden's control.

Browser's increased power from the platform combined with the power of the Star of Rodin nullify the effect of the Laser Gun, rendering it useless. Mario's partners have varied reactions to this: Goverman exclaims that he hates Mario, while Bowler wonders why they're cooperating with the Stellarvinden to begin with. Meanwhile, Peach yells at Mario to hit Browser, noting that it should be easy. Tinka then returns and stuns Kamopa before revealing that Peach has cancer. Kamopa then battles Tinka and Peach, the latter two ultimately prevailing, but not before Kamopa warns that the "Persian Empire will suffer for the children of stars" and revealing Browser's first name, Olivier.

After Tinka attempts to play Uno with Peach, the latter makes a wish to increase the Stellarvinden's power as Tinka goes to the sea. The members of the Stellarvinden sense this power boost, and combined with the power of Tinka and Paul, upgrade the Laser Gun into Beam Pexego (also known as the Persian Ray). However, this also causes Mario to eat all the peaches, starting a global shortage. Browser then decrees that "what happens happens" and tries one final time to save Mario from the control of the Stellarvinden, begging him to remember who he once was and insisting that he must give up in order to win the day. However, Mario refuses to listen and uses Beam Pexego to remove the Star of Rodin's power from Browser, causing him to exclaim that "the stars must disappear." With its power, Mario is able to defeat Browser.

Shortly after, Mario takes back the Star of Rodin from Browser, once again becoming a star, and uses its power to begin a state war between the Kingdom of Fungi and the Koop Kingdom. Kamopa then notes that the platform has become unstable and that she and Browser must flee. However, the platform explodes before they can do so, and the explosion sends everybody flying. The Stellarvinden then use their power to catch Mario, Peach, and the Princely Palace and lower them safely down to the ground as Browser and Kamopa continue flying off in the distance. Ultimately, Kamopa survived the event, but Browser did not.

Mario returns the Star of Rodin the Stellarvinden, who thank Mario for his efforts, then leave. Tinka then expresses that he loves Mario, but doesn't care about Peach at all before also leaving.

## **Epilogue**

Several years pass, during which the Kingdom of Fungi collapsed, the Stellarvinden released their control of Mario, and Mario returned to consciousness, albeit completely unaware of everything that happened while he was under the Stellarvinden's control. Lewis tells Mario about his adventures during that time and how he should feel about them, while also reminding him that he has been back for several years now. In Vila de Goomb, Goverman receives an SUV invitation from the Princess of Peaches for a party in the castle dungeon. Parakarius delivers similar invitations to the other party members; meanwhile, Corporate and Colorade are in Involved City planning an expedition to the Glass Castle, as they have become a couple as of late. It's revealed the King of Mushrooms is gone now, and Parakarius is apparently involved in a world war, being the war that Mario had started several years prior.

Corporate is unsure if he should go or not, but Colorade implores him to reject the invitation since he doesn't get the opportunity to do so every day. Parakarius then delivers a message from Colorade's wife telling him to not return to their home because the clowns came back, and that he is a worthless man. He heads out to reunite with her, and his team members leave as well.

Back at home, Mario and Lewis receive their party invitations and head out, and Lewis goes ahead of Mario as he has something important to do. Mario can now interact with many characters met on the course of the journey, most of whom are not pleased to see him and what he has done, especially a Frog near the Info Flash and Colorade's wife, the latter wishing death upon him. Colorade also reveals he's disappointed with Mario, since he's a Christian and Mario killed God. Muststafs tells Mario that he knew Mario was a bad sign, and it seems Goverman's theories about fishing being a farce became popular, since even a penguin from Involved City knows of it. Carla is still interested in killing, while the Yoshi Chief recovered from his stroke and started to befriend whales.

Mario makes his way to The Princely Palace, where many guests are waiting. After Mario enters the Palace, Peach appears as the king of the new Persian Empire, the successor state to the Kingdom of Fungi. She identifies each of his party members before telling them, and the whole world, that they have a fungus. Peach then says they've achieved security in their efforts and hopes mushrooms will have peace and prosperity for a long time, adding quotes around "Maybe forever!". She invites them to create a party, and the game ends.
