Mario and Luigi: Dream Team -- Part 17: Bouncing on the Bed

The first part of the Ultibed, the Pajamaja Rock Frame, is somewhere on Mount Pajamaja. Use the warp pipe to reach the base. A Shelltop greets the bros, saying there's a new tour for the mountain. The guides are the Massif Bros and it's only for the brave. The tour guides are waiting at the midpoint of the climb. The Shelltop says the tour stinks, though. Keep going north until you reach the blue Shelltop in the designated area. He says the Massif Bros are up ahead and that the footing is unpredictable. The Shelltop leaves. The Massif Bros are pleased to see the bros here for the Massif-Vert Pajamaja 2: Beef Steak Beef Steak Treasure Tour. The word "treasure" piques the bros' curiosity. The Massif Bros don't know where the ultimate treasure is, but they've heard the rumor. They walk off, saying the tour is full. Popple appears, saying there's loot on the mountain, but he's not the climbing type. The Massif Bros won't bring him along. As revenge, he's going to a house in Wakeport. After Popple leaves, Li'l  Massif announces the start of the tour. Follow them east.

The ledge ahead is too high to jump over. The Massif Bros teach the bros a new technique called the Ball Hop. The bros roll into a ball with [R] three times, then either (A) or (B), both of which will work. Once in ball form, use the Circle Pad to move. Press (A) or (B) to return to normal. Ball Hop up and over the spikes (regular jumping works with the spikes), then up the small platforms. Meet them up ahead. They're impressed that the bros mastered the move so quickly. Follow them to the north.

The Massif Bros are approaching the snowy summit, on the east side. There are new enemies here, called Viruses. They will change color in the order yellow-red-blue-yellow. Hit them to make them change color. If other Viruses nearby are the same color, they will be defeated as well as the one you just struck. Jumping will make them change colors twice, hammers only once, so be strategic. They'll parade around the bros a couple of times. Smack each one with a hammer to make them pile up. Try to make sure Viruses of the same color end up next to each other, if you can. They'll also walk towards the bros. Jump on them to dodge or counter. Catch up to the Massif Bros, then go east.

In this area, you'll find Monolift Rs, similar to the Monolifts, but faster and stronger. Keep climbing and you'll find a warp pipe. Activate it. To the east, the sign says to be careful, as it's a long way back up. The walkways are narrow, so proceed slowly and cautiously. The drop's not that far, only two areas back. Be very precise when steering Spin Jumps. There's an item block with lots of coins, a piece of gear, and a bean over here. If you collect everything there, save. 

Return to the previous area, then Ball Hop to the north to find the Massif Bros. They're having a difficult time solving a puzzle to open the door ahead. They must jump through a ring without touching it. They offer to let the bros keep the treasure if they can solve the puzzle. Use the Ball Hop to jump into the ring, and the other rings that appear after it. The door will glow, so Ball Hop into the circular area in the door to open it. There's a dark corridor ahead. To reward the bros, Big Massif gives the bros 10 Attack Pieces at once, unlocking the Bros. Attack Slingsniper, initiated by Luigi. When Luigi is in the slingshot, hold the Circle Pad back, then hold (B) to bring up the crosshairs. Aim by tilting the 3DS, then release (B) to fire. Aim quickly and fire.

Follow the Massif Bros past the door. It's a dark cave, like the area under Mushrise Park. The Massif Bros are going to do some research in the areas, as they've never been to this part of the mountain. Go to the back, then Ball Hop up, and Spin Jump across. At the top, the mountain's treasure, the Pajamaja Rock Frame, basks in the glow of a Dreampoint. The Massif Bros are impressed the legendary frame exists. They have reached their pinnacle in mountain climbing and being tour guides. Starlow wants to take the frame and leave, but Dreambert says it's petrified by a nightmare chunk. Dreambert says sleeping on it (and going into the dream world to smash the nightmare chunk) will cleanse it.

Inside the dream world, go to the left. The nightmare chunk is below, but it's huge and inaccessible. Go to the lower left. Hit the ! Block and you'll have 30 seconds to reach the one above you, after crossing slippery ground with fists punching at you. Jump over the fists, one bro at a time, to move quickly. This may take a few tries. Hitting the other ! Block will open the path to the upper right, back to the nightmare chunk. A constellation is here. Use the Ball Hammer to break the nightmare chunk. Return to the real world. The Pajamaja Rock Frame has been restored. Dreambert explains the nightmare chunks flew everywhere when Antasma broke the Dark Stone and one must have landed on the frame. The bros leave the Massif Bros. While we're here, we can save the last two Pi'illos in the area. There's one in the area of the shop. The second one is on a gray platform to the north, then west of the shop. There's an unexplored area to the north of where the bros jumped off the cliff.

The area has a door similar to the one to the Pajamaja Rock Frame. Open it the same way. There's an item block with lots of coins and a piece of gear. Take the warp pipe at the base to where you want to go next.
