Welcome to the Galaxy!
Mario
We land in a galaxy with an eerie mansion floating in space. A remix of the underground theme plays. Who are we going to call? Luigi, right? Normally we would, but this time, Luigi's trapped in the haunted mansion. We land on a green Starshroom, where Red Toad informs us, "We detected signs of Luigi in this galaxy! I hope he hasn't been eaten by ghosts!" The background is a bunch of ghosts swirling into a bright light. We launch from the Starshroom and land on a planet with leafless trees. There are bats and pumpkin Goombas. There is a sparkling stalagmite that we can spin to release a Rainbow Star. We run towards the mansion on a stone path, running through a Chomp on the way.
Inside the mansion, a slow waltz plays. We spin a switch to turn on the light. We approach the portrait of a Boo on the wall to make it come out of the wall. When we face it, it becomes transparent and we can see a key inside it. We lead it into the light to get the key, which opens the door to the left of the stairs. The door leads to a room with Launch Star Chips and lots of black holes in the windows. We can use the ramps to walk on the walls and ceiling. We collect all of the Star Chips and a black hole becomes a Launch Star making things a little less dangerous. On the ceiling is a circular crack. If we pound it, we fall into the library with 4 Sling Stars. We spin the switch to make a bunch of coins appear. Use the Sling Stars to collect the coins before they disappear. If you get them all, you should have enough for a 50-Coin 1-up. We fall into the room with the Launch Star and launch, landing outside the mansion. We can see Luigi behind a barred window. He calls for Mario and says, "HELP!" We can't help him from out here, so we use the Pull Stars to reach the key to open the door into the mansion.
There is a sign that says: "This is written in Booish. There is a ? Coin in the alcove which makes a Boo Shroom appear. We get it and a message: "You transformed into Boo Mario! Shake to vanish!" The sign, which will now be readable, says: "When in Boo form, press (A) repeatedly to float. Shake to turn transparent and you can go through bars." The Boos now will start following Boo Mario with hearts over them. If we approach Luigi as Boo Mario, he cowers and says, "Eeee! A ghost! Eeeeek!" We got through the grate where the spring is and turn back into Mario using the light. We use the spring to go over the wall to where Luigi is. He says, "Sorry! Bro, you finally came! I got lost with the Toads... It was terrible! But I found a Power Star, so that makes up for it right?" Yes, Luigi, all is forgiven. He pulls out a Power Star, thanking us and suggesting that we go home, but I don't believe he has any idea of where that is now. We get the Star and Luigi somersaults into the cutscene.
Star Get #32, 67 Coins, 1517 Star Bits, 16 Lives
Interlude
We land on the main deck. Rosalina says, "Welcome back... I can see your brother from here. If you go ask him, I bet he'll help you search for Power Stars. And I'm sure he has a lot to tell you. You should go speak to him over there by the Garage. We go over to the Garage and speak with him. He says, "Bro! You're looking for Power Stars, right? Let me help! I think you might have missed in the Good Egg Galaxy. If I find it, I'll write you a letter. Keep your eyes peeled for it!"
You want to talk to Luigi immediately after bringing him back. He will help us find Power Stars that we can't get without him.
Luigi
We get the same information from Red Toad on the green Starshroom. We get the Rainbow Star and run into the mansion and run into the Boo from the painting to get the key. We get all of the Star Chips and the coins from the library, which total 48. We launch and see, of all people, Luigi in the mansion. But we're Luigi, and he's calling for Mario. What's going on here? We get the key, avoiding falling through the gap to the spikes below. We get the Boo Shroom and transform into Boo Luigi and get the same message. If we get the ? Coin near the ceiling, a 1-up will appear from the painting of a 1-up. We use the light behind the grate and spring to Luigi, who says, "Sorry. Oh my... Are you me? Well, I guess there's enough people in the universe for one person to look like me... Anyway, I found a Power Star. Let's take it back!" As in the Mario mission, he somersaults into our cutscene. We have now begun the Luigi paradox. There are two Luigis.
Star Get #32, 55 Coins, 1349 Star Bits, 33 Lives
Interlude
We land on the deck. Rosalina says, "Welcome back... I can see your twin from here. If you ask him, I bet he'll help you search for Power Stars. And I'm sure he has a lot to tell you. You should go speak to him over there by the Garage." I guess the Luigi paradox doesn't bother Rosalina in the slightest. We go up to the other Luigi, who is slightly taller and wears a slightly darker shade of green. He says, "Hey, me! You're looking for Power Stars, right? I think you missed one in the Good Egg Galaxy. I'll write you a letter if I find it. Check your mail!" Well, our doppelganger is going to help us look for Stars. That should be helpful and interesting.
