Paper Mario Merlon Fortune Potential Triggers

Paper Mario Merlon Fortunes (Potential Triggers)

You must journey to Koopa Bros.
Fortress. You can travel there
by following Pleasant Path to
the east of town.

The path begins right next to
Toad's house.

If you have any problems getting
started, please don't hesitate
to ask for my help.

(Following Black Toad Cutscene)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I can see you stuck on the way
to Koopa Village. You try to
continue, but there is no bridge.

A tree grows near where the
path ends.
You smash this tree.

Something drops to aid you.

(Entering Pleasant Path)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I can see Koopas in trouble.
These must be the Koopas in
Koopa Village.

You are kind, and you help them
with their troubles.

One of the Koopas you help tells
you the location of the house
where the Koopa with the blue
shell lives.

Only that blue-shelled Koopa
can help you overcome the
difficulties that lie in wait on
the road ahead.

(Entering Koopa Village)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The four Koopa brothers are
holding a Star Spirit hostage.

They lurk in the stone fortress
at the end of Pleasant Path,
to the east of Toad Town.

It is a long journey east, even
from Koopa Village, and the road
is full of enemies.

(Obtaining Kooper)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The stone fortress is locked,
and it's guarded by Koopas.
You wander its depths, hunting
for a key.

A pink tomboy with an explosive
personality is locked in the
basement jail there.

You help her escape.
She ends up helping you, too.

(Entering Koopa Bros. Fortress)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The noble Star Spirit is
imprisoned on the top floor of
the stone fortress.

Your blue-shelled Koopa and
explosive Bob-omb are the keys
to cutting the Koopa brothers
down to size.

You move with haste now.
The Star Spirit has many
important things to tell you.

(Obtaining Bombette)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
You go to the south of Toad Town
and find a station that is the
departure point to a far-off
land.

The red train at the station
cannot leave.

Somehow, you destroy the
obstacle blocking the track.

(Completing Ch. 1)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
You reach a mountain by train
but the crevasses there are
too difficult to cross.

A winged Koopa is fussing about,
waiting for help on the steep,
stony mountainside.

You help him out
and earn some help yourself.

(Entering Mt. Rugged)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I can see you climbing over a
mountain in search of a desert.

Braving great dangers, you
cross the mountain and descend
to the mouth of an ocean of
sand.

Your true goal lies hidden within.

(Obtaining Parakarry)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
At the end of the path in the
desert, there is a dusty town
where travelers rest.

It is there where you will find
some answers you seek.

When you leave the desert path,
you are quickly swallowed up by
the trackless desert.

For now, you stick to the path
and end up in the town.

(Entering the Desert)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I can see you handing something
to a strange Nomadimouse that
resides in a desert town.

The Nomadimouse waits in the
back of the desert town,
hiding its face with a cloth.

To find that which you seek,
you give up something you have
already found.

(Entering Dry Dry Outpost)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The strange Nomadimouse I spoke
of...he does not tell you what
you want to know, even though
you've given him gifts?

Well, perhaps you have not given
him what he desires.

You go south as soon as you
leave the desert town and soon
you find a lush oasis.

A fruit ripening on the tree is
what you seek. You find it and
give it to the Nomadimouse.

For this treat, he breaks his
code of silence and gives you
the clue you need.
Beyond this, I can see nothing.

(Speaking with Moustafa)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The one who knows the mystery
of the desert hides on top of
an old building.

A strange Nomadimouse at the
far end of town once waited by
a door. You check this door.
From there, you climb upward.

On the rooftops, you meet the
mysterious leader of the desert.
You find him over to the left
from where you climb up.

(Purchasing a Dried Shroom and then a Dusty Hammer)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I can see you putting a bright,
flashing stone on a small rock
after wandering around the
desert.

Hmm...
Mmmmmmmmm...!

I cannot see exactly where it is,
but the flashing stone is pulsing
rapidly and there is just one
rock in the area.

Wait...something else...
It is on the opposite side of the
desert from the oasis.

(Obtaining the Pulse Stone)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I can see you entering the ruins
that used to be buried deep in
the desert sand.

There are many surprises inside
the old buildings.

First you find a way to
strengthen yourself, and then
you find three precious stones.

Deep inside, you set the stones
in the correct places on statues.

This is the correct way:

the Pyramid on the left,
the Diamond in the middle and
the Lunar on the right.

(Entering Dry Dry Ruins)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
You go down the new stairs that
appear in the deepest depths of
the ruins.

You descend further, drawn by
the imprisoned Star Spirit
imprisoned below you.

A Koopa wrecks the ruins,
trying to destroy you.

You fight off this magic-wielding
menace and save the Star Spirit.

(Placing the stones in the pillars)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Deep inside a strange forest,
someone waits in the darkness
for you to arrive.

He floats through the air,
appearing and disappearing.
He shows you the way.

(Completing Ch. 2)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
In the dangerous gloom of
Forever Forest, I can see you
talking with a creature who lives
there.

You turn your back to the moving
bush and go into the depths of
the forest.
You find him waiting.

(Entering Forever Forest)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
In the shadowy Forever Forest,
you must take the right path to
get out.

One path always looks different
from the others, and that path
is the one you always take.

You look carefully at the
scenery to find your way.

A wise member of your party
may well give you an important
hint.

(Talking to Oaklie)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
When you escape Forever Forest,
you find a spooky mansion hidden
in the trees.

Someone who is waiting for your
help appears in front of the
mansion.

Inside, you gather some
important information.
You enter without fear.

(Entering the courtyard of Boo's Mansion / Entering Boo's Mansion)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I can see you wandering in Boo's
mansion, trying to find the way
to get upstairs.

At every turn, Boos play tricks
and set puzzles. You wisely
solve them all.

Now...I can see you standing
with a record in your hand in
front of a phonograph.

You distract a Boo by playing
the record then quickly open the
treasure chest.

(Entering Boo's Mansion / Talking to the Boo Portrait)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
You climb onto the sofa on the
first floor of Boo's mansion.

You launch into the air and
pull down the chandelier, which
moves a glass case.

In order to enter the door
hidden by the glass case,
you hang a heavy weight from
the chandelier.

Somewhere beyond the door,
a powerful item awaits.

(Obtaining the Weight)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
In Boo's Mansion in Forever
Forest, I can see a staircase
leading downstairs.

You go down to the storeroom
and through several doors.
In a back room, you challenge
Boos for a new pair of Boots.

You Spin Jump on the boarded
floor and break through, finding
a new path.

(Opening the White Door in Boo's Mansion)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
You return a Boo to his empty
picture frame, and he helps you
go upstairs.

When you enter the room
upstairs, you find a pair of
Boos waiting for you.

They tell you many things.
You realize that not all Boos are
troublemakers.

(Obtaining the Super Boots)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
There's only one thing that has
the power to scare Boos.
I speak of a castle-dwelling
monster that can never be hurt.

There are many stories about
this immortal creature.
The Boos living on the windy hill
have heard them all.

You listen carefully to these
tales then bravely head for
the castle on the hill.

(Obtaining Bow)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Although you enter the castle
on the windy hill, you are
stopped by a locked door.

You begin your search for the
door key.

In a room containing a large
table, you open a small door and
see stairs going down.

Once you descend, you notice a
boarded piece of floor that you
can break.

Down in the basement, you find
the key that you seek.

(Entering Tubba Blubba's Castle)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
In the castle on the windy hill,
a much-needed key waits in the
room with the spiked floor.

With your Boo companion, you
run out onto the floor when
the spikes retract.

Before the spikes return, the
lady Boo helps you to turn
invisible. While invisible,
you are not hurt.

The key you find inside the
treasure chest helps you
continue your quest.

(Obtaining the Castle Key / Unlocking the door on the right in Tubba Blubba's Castle)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
In the castle on the windy hill,
you find a room off the main
corridor on the top floor.

The key to the locked door is at
the end of this room.

You sneak through the room
without waking any guards and
claim the key.

You unlock the door and step
into the heart of the mystery.

(Obtaining the Castle Key in the Spike Room)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I can see you running away as
fast as you can.

You open the treasure chest
next to the bed where the
immortal monster is taking an
afternoon nap.

You find a magic talking key
inside the chest.

This key unlocks a tower with a
turning windmill.

The immortal monster keeps a
secret deep below it.

You run there as fast as you
can and teach him a lesson once
you learn his secret.

(Obtaining the Castle Key in the Clubba-filled room)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I can see a Star Spirit that
can't return to where it is
supposed to be.

Help it find its way back to
Star Haven and then come back
to Toad Town.

(Obtaining Yakkey)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I can see mischievous folks
playing tricks and bothering the
citizens of Toad Town.

You walk west from the southern
shop and see these small people
entering and leaving the second
house from the shop.

They don't enter the house if
they see someone inside because
they're cowards.
You turn invisible to trick them.

(Completing Ch. 3)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
You go into the house second
from the shop in the south of
Toad Town,

and find a hidden door that
leads to a Toy Box.

The mischievous thieves and all
of their stolen goods are inside
the box. You leap in after them.

Inside the Toy Box, you use
jack-in-the-boxes to move on.

The jack-in-the-boxes with
stars on their sides make you
go higher and farther. They help
you out mightily.

You find a key and return to
Toad Town.

(Entering Shy Guy's Toy Box)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The owner of the shop in the
south of Toad Town is sick with
worry about a stolen key.
You return it to him.

He offers you a reward, so you
take something that you noticed
was missing inside the Toy Box.

(Obtaining the Storeroom Key)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
You get a train, but you don't
carry it into the Toy Box.
Instead, you put it in the box
from outside.

The train is a welcome addition
inside the Toy Box, and now you
are able to move on.

(Obtaining the Toy Train)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Building blocks and a fence
block your way in the Toy Box.

You have to make good use of
the jack-in-the-boxes and a
revolving wall to continue.

When the revolving wall turns,
you slip through the opening.
Only perfect timing gets you
to the other side.

(Placing the Toy Train in the Toy Box)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
You have tracked down a
precious frying pan.

You give it back to a Toad Town
cook, who gives you something
useful in return.

You re-enter the Toy Box with
your new reward.
It will help you on your way.

(Obtaining the Frying Pan)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I can see you standing beside
a huge Shy Guy who is too hungry
to move.

You give him a fabulous Cake
made by a very talented cook.
He finds it so delicious that
he goes away.

That talented cook makes the
Cake again when you give her
the Cake Mix.

(Giving the Frying Pan to Tayce T.)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
You hit a dead end on the moving
walkways of the Toy Box.

Instead of trying to jump over,
you turn invisible and slip
through the net.

Soon enough you reach some
blocks that move up and down
but you cannot jump to your
goal.

You jump to a high spot near
the platform and hitch a ride
with a Paratroopa.

An illegible memo is the key to
continuing through the Toy Box.

You give the dictionary back
to the scholarly Toad.
With it, he is able to decipher
the Shy Guy's language.

He tells you the answer to a
puzzle.

He says that you must smash
the four colorful boxes in a
certain order to open the way.

If you remember the clue,
you'll know the right order.

(Pulling the lever at Pink Station)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The path you choose might be
completely dark.

When you can't see a thing, it's
a good idea to take a different
path.

When you enter another dark
room, something carrying a light
appears.

You defeat this scary creature
and make a new friend.

(Hitting all the Boxes / Entering Red Station)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
You find the light that gleams
in darkness and discover a
glittering child in a lantern.

The way ahead is often dark,
and you cannot go forward
without light.

You save the sparkling child
imprisoned in the lantern.

When you break the lantern,
the child is freed.
This bright child often lights
up what is hidden.

(Beating Lantern Ghost)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
When you bring light to darkness,
Shy Guys flee from it. They are
running toward the thing that
you seek.

You follow them with the light.
A difficult test awaits you.
The Star Spirit can only hope
for your victory.

(Obtaining Watt)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
There is a strange island
floating by the port docks.
You jump on it and smash down
to get a rise out of it.

Soon after, I can see you with
a light amid warm darkness.
...You do know where the port is,
don't you?

I suppose I'll tell you, just
in case. Go straight in the
direction opposite Forever
Forest.

(Completing Ch. 4)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
A journey to a faraway island
is your destiny. I can see you
crossing the sea with one who is
indebted to you.

I can also see a Star Spirit
waiting for you in the heart of a
volcano.

(Entering the Whale / Saving the Whale)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
On the jungle island to the
south, I can see an erupting
mountain. You must find a path
to this volcano.

Ohhh...!
I can see Yoshis. Many Yoshis.

The Yoshis know something, so
you talk to them to learn
the answers you seek.

(Entering Lavalava Island)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The baby Yoshis are at a
mischievous age, and they
play hide-and-seek on the
jungle islands.

You help the fish baby-sitter
when she loses them and asks
for help then you are helped,
as well.

(Talking to Kolorado near the Volcano)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The Yoshis' hiding places seem
impossible to reach.

You find them all by moving
bushes out of your way,
crossing the water, and hitting
the tree stumps.

Underground...on top of a tree...
behind a bush...on a distant
island...deep in the jungle...

...that's where all the baby
Yoshis are hiding.

(Obtaining Sushie)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I can see you looking puzzled
in front of a big stone statue
in the depths of the jungle.

You talk to the chief of the
village, who is pleased to have
the children back safely.

As a reward for finding them,
he gives you something beautiful,
which is the key to your
continuing quest.

You put what you received on
the big stone statue in the
depths of the jungle, then you
follow the path that appears.

(Saving the Yoshis)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
In the deep, dark jungle,
you shake the bushes, plug the
geysers, and pull the vines to
move ever deeper.

You reach the base of a gigantic
tree.

You see a black shadow perched
atop this huge tree.
It watches over the jungle...
and it is glad to help you.

(Obtaining the Jade Raven / Depositing the Jade Raven to the statue)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The giant jungle guardian helps
you by building a bridge.
You cross it.

Your destination is the erupting
volcano. Somebody is waiting
for your help in the depths of
its superheated caves.

You ride across the molten lava
to enter the bubbling depths.

(Talking to Raphael Raven / Obtaining Ultra Stone)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
A flood of magma is blocking your
way. It's too wide to cross.

You climb to a nearby platform
and use blue blocks to slow down
the flow of lava.

A powerful item awaits you on
the other side.

(Entering Mt. Lavalava)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Deep below the earth, you
hammer a line of blocks to dust.
A spiked boulder opens a path.

You go deeper and sense that
a Star Spirit cries out just
ahead of you.

A massive fire flower stands
in your way.
Water beats fire, you know.

(Obtaining the Ultra Hammer)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
A treasure chest blows clear
from a violent eruption.
It lands deep in the jungle.
It waits for you.

The chest has fallen to earth
near the spot where you met
your aquatic companion.

A treasure-hunting Koopa in
Yoshi's Village finds a magical
seed.

Why is that important?
The seed is vital to your quest!
You hand over your new-found
treasure and get this seed.

(Completing Ch. 5)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
There is a lot of empty space
in the Toad Town flower garden.
A door opens when enough
flowers bloom. You need seeds.

You find the special seeds in
Toad Town, Forever Forest,
Jade Jungle and on Mt. Rugged.

Once you find seeds from four
different colored flowers, you
take them to a girl who tends
the Toad Town flowers.

You need all four seeds.

I can see a Star Spirit waiting
for you in the cloudy sky of a
different world. This world lies
just through the door.

(Obtaining the Magical Seed from Kolorado)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
You search for a Magical Bean
that grows a vine into the sky.

To the east of the big tree,
I can see a flower being
pestered by creatures who dwell
under the ground.

The annoyed flower really loves
seeds. You help her out.

Your reward is the precious
Magical Bean.

(Entering Ch. 6)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
In order to grow the Magical
Bean in Flower Fields, you first
search for Fertile Soil.

You give a starving red flower
a Red Berry.

This tasty berry falls into your
hands when you smash the tree
near Petunia.

The red flower lets you through
its gate and you continue on
your way. Soon enough, you meet
another flower.

This flower is only too happy to
give you Fertile Soil.

(Obtaining the Magical Bean)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I can see you talking with a
flower at the bottom of the dry
spring in Flower Fields.

The waterless spring is beyond
the gate that the yellow flower
stands guard over.

You give the yellow flower a
Yellow Berry, and it repays you
by opening the gate.

By smashing the tree beyond the
red flower's gate, you find the
Yellow Berry you need.

(Obtaining the Fertile Soil)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The precious stone that the
flower of the spring seeks is
in the garden beyond a confusing
hedge maze.

The keeper of this garden has
many thorns but is very
beautiful. You hang on every
word she says.

A sparkling berry from a crystal
tree is the only treasure
beautiful enough to match the
Water Stone.

You talk to Posie and she gives
you what you need.

(Talking to Lily)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
You take the sparkling berry to
the rose in the flower garden.
She finds it irresistible and
trades the Water Stone for it.

When you put the stone in the
dry spring, water begins to flow
like magic.

(Obtaining the Crystal Berry)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I can see you trying to clear
the air of clouds. You search
in vain for the sun, hurrying
beneath dark clouds.

The sun, trapped by the
menacing sky, cannot rise.
He tells you important news.

A cloud rider stops you as you
travel from your visit with the
sun. He will join you.

With his aid, you stomp on the
colored blocks in the correct
order: green, purple, red,
green, green, purple.

When you find the cloud-making
machine, you smash it to bits
and bring the bright sky back.

(Obtaining the Miracle Water)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I see you planting a magical vine
that you hope will grow higher
and higher until it pierces the
clouds.

When planting it, you do
everything in the right order.

First, you prepare the soil.
Next, you plant the seed.
Finally, you give it water.
Only the right order will do.

The Star Spirit is being held
in the clouds. You climb your
magic beanstalk up and up.

(Obtaining Lakilester / Destroying the Puffpuff Machine)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The Star Spirit is waiting for
you on a cloud in the sky.

You battle a giant cloud
monster, destroying the smaller
clouds as they appear.

The greatest danger comes from
powerful bolts of lightning.

(Planting the beanstalk)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
You travel to a far-off land,
a frigid place covered with snow
and ice.

You find new strength in the
deepest place under Toad Town.

Using your new ability, you are
able to enter a new path.
A blue door on a high ledge
beckons, but you can't reach it.

There are several things
invisible to the naked eye near
the door.

With the help of your sparkling
companion, you see the way.

(Completing Ch. 6)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I can see you visiting the most
important penguin in a cold city.

(Entering Shiver City)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
You travel on the snowy path
to the west of Shiver City.
A glittering town lies in the
frosty valley.

It is here that you learn some
vital information and receive a
gift to help you on your way.

(Saving the Mayor / Fighting Jr. Troopa)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The cities in the frozen land
have been friends since times
long past, and each holds an
ancestral treasure.

You already hold one treasure,
and you receive the other from
the most powerful penguin
in the city.

(Obtaining the Scarf from Starborn Valley)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I can see some snowmen in a row
in front of a cliff.

You add decorations to them
until they all look the same.
The way to the frozen heights
opens soon after.

(Obtaining the Bucket from Mayor Penguin)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
You climb up a steep mountain
and break the cracked wall
beyond the stairs. You enter an
icy cave.

The room is filled with crystal
pillars, and your eyes deceive
you. You think for a moment that
it's a dead end.

You don't trust your eyes.
You keep moving forward.
You find something helpful once
you break the illusion.

(Entering Shiver Mountain)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Someone needs your help in the
Crystal Palace that perches
atop the mountain.

You have received a gift.
You use it as a key and climb to
the mountain's top.

Once you've scaled the frozen
heights you spot the palace
you need to reach.

(Obtaining the Star Stone)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
You think that you're looking
at your reflection in a mirror,
but no! Something mischievous is
imitating you.

You enter the blue door and walk
through the columns to reach the
other side of the glass.

(Entering Cystal Palace)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
In the Crystal Palace, often
what you do on one side of the
glass affects what happens on
the other side.

You break a boarded piece of
floor in the back, then go back
to a room in the front.

Where there once was a red X,
there is now a hole.

(Obtaining the Blue Key)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
You enter the red door and
beat the guards on the bridge.
Their statues disappear.

You place your explosive friend
by a red switch and go through
a revolving door.

You find a large stone statue
in a room. It doesn't budge even
when you push it.

Your Koopa friend helps you hit
a switch in the reflection.
You cross the bridge and make
your way around to its twin.

Eventually you find a smaller
stone statue and push it aside.

You discover that the large
statue has moved as well.

(Obtaining the Red Key)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I see creatures that change
direction when you talk to them.

I also see identical stone
statues that you can move by
pushing them from the rear.

By talking to the creatures,
you get them to face the right
directions. You then push them
to cover the pads on the floor.

Once you solve the puzzle,
stairs appear that lead to
the door high up on the wall.

You continue into the palace.

(Obtaining the Palace Key)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
A frozen king rules in the
palace on the snowy mountain.

He seems to split into three
kings, but two of them are
phantoms. To be sure, you
attack all of them at once.

The last Star Spirit is freed
once you defeat him.

(Solving the puzzle?)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I can see the Star Spirits
gathering and waiting on
Shooting Star Summit.

They are waiting for you,
of course. You need only to walk
up there and a route to the sky
will be made clear.

(Completing Ch. 7)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The power of the Star Spirits
and the strength of your wishes
lead you to the castle.

The root of all this evil
misfortune awaits in the floating
castle in the sky.
You must fly there.

The way up leads from Star
Haven.

(Talking to the Star Spirits / Entering Star Haven)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I can see a long corridor of
flowing lava.

A speaking statue makes your
journey more difficult, but you
survive with your friends' help.

After cooling the lava flow, you
continue your journey to the top
of the castle. Your quest's end
awaits you on high.

(Entering Ch. 8)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I can see two rooms with high
ceilings. When you pull chains
in these rooms, water flows.
You use these to continue.

After climbing higher and higher,
you come to a room that seems
to be a dead end.

You move a stony face of Bowser
to find the entrance.

In the first room, you push the
Bowser on the right. In the
second room, you push the
Bowser on the left.

In the third room, the Bowser
in the middle is already open,
but it is a fake.

You push it to the right.
The path opens for you.

(Entering the first Bowser Door)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Either your Koopa friend or
your explosive companion helps
you when you find a red switch.

A repeating series of high and
low paths confuses you.
The blue torches behind the wire
fence give you a clue.

You go forward in the same
order as the torches: up, down,
down, up, down, up.

The princess is just beyond this
final puzzle.

(Entering the second Bowser Door)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
I can see you fighting with
the evil king on the highest
ramparts of the castle.

The Power of the Star Spirits
helps you in your fight.

You never give in, even when
the battle looks dire.
The small star and the princess
give you all the help they can.

Do not delay, Mario...
You must win the final battle...
...to return hope to the world!

(Entering the third Bowser Door)
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
