Paper Mario: Sticker Star -- 4-6 Bowser's Snow Fort

The fort has a giant sculpture of Bowser at the top and a winding path with lots of Shy Guys. There are two lines: one with a long line of Shy Guys, and the Premium Entrance, the fast track to the attraction. Attraction? What's going on? The premium entrance isn't open, but a Secret Door fixes that.

Inside, the lines continue. Go up to the attendant booth and walk on the crates for the Sewing Scissors. Talk to the Shy Guy at the booth and a mine cart will appear. Mario hops in and goes up a slope with coins. It's a roller coaster ride, much like the Mine Carts in Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga. Avoid running over the spikes and jump where the heart is or your ride will be short. There is a Shy Guy above holding a scrap. Place a sticker you don't want in the red box past the turn to stop him and make him drop the scrap. It's the Mine-Cart Rail, so we can fix the piece of broken rail ahead. The next part has Bob-ombs on the rails. At the top of the rail on the left side is a pipe. The track ends abruptly as another piece is missing. This drops us near a door with another pipe. The door leads outside to the line. Go back inside. On the left side of the line, there are two Shy Guys tormenting the traveling Toad.

The Shy Guys power up with 120 HP each. When they attack, they multiply. A Shiny POW and Shiny Line Jump knock off a good amount of HP. They give us a Secret Door sticker. Back on the roller coaster, you'll go in front of a column of rock. Peel it off, then replace it. Jump at the platform where the enemies are for a Heart Block and Save Block. One of the item blocks has a Megaflash Chillhammer. To the left, on the back wall, is the scrap we need, the Mine-Cart Exit. Hop back in the cart and replace it. Jump to go through the exit. We go downhill and pick up speed, then jump, leaping through the Bowser statue's mouth. The statue moves and stands up from its chair and roars.

We have to battle it. It's the Bowser Snow Statue, with 400 HP. It will stomp us. Looks like some Thing stickers that have a lot of heat are in order. I went back to get a Radiator from 3-10 and also got an HP-Up Heart for winning. I went back to 4-3 for some stickers, but couldn't find any. Instead, I found the Toad from the portrait sitting where the steward was. The steward came in and gave an HP-Up Heart. I make stickers of the Hair Dryer, Oven, Radiator, Matches, and Lighter. I get to use three stickers in the Battle Spin. The Radiator does 60 damage, the Oven does 90, and the Matches do 40. That went very well. As the statue takes damage, it falls apart, and reveals a smaller statue. The next turn, I use the Hair Dryer for 70 damage and the Lighter for 90. He has 50 HP left now, which is much more manageable. Someone says, "Shhhh..." The statue completely falls apart to reveal a Snowman with a Royal Sticker. "SH-SH-SHINY TIME!" It's Mizzter Blizzard. Shiny Fire Flowers are very effective against him. I only need three regular stickers to defeat him. Happy, Kersti? Mizzster Blizzard says, "UGGGH! I'm SOOOO sorry. I just made a wish on this shiny sticker and then all this madness happened...I was disappearing... From ice to fog... Returning to the sky... I just wanted a body that wouldn't melt..." He disappears, saying, "When the cold snow falls next year, you'll make me again, won't you? Then we can meet once more!" We grab the blue Royal Sticker.

The summary tells of how Mizzster Blizzard was melting and the Royal Sticker came down and granted his wish. A new page is added to the album.
