Up in the castle, Bowser enters Peach's room and asks her how she's feeling. He wants to see her smile. Peach is in a bad mood, calling him "the single greatest disaster to ever befall the Mushroom Kingdom". She will smile if he makes everything as it was before he showed up. Bowser says he can't do that because Mario defeated the Koopa Bros. and Tutankoopa and he can't forgive Mario for disrespecting him. He says he'll use the Invincible Tubba Blubba to defeat Mario. He's second to Bowser in strength.
Kammy Koopa enters the room, saying they have a problem. She whispers to Bowser and he blurts out that the Star Spirit Tubba Blubba was guarding flew away from Tubba Blubba's castle. Kammy Koopa tells him to keep his voice down or Peach will hear him. They leave to discuss the matter privately.
Twink heard the news as well. Peach wants to find out about Tubba Blubba and hopefully information on a weak point. Go through the fireplace and the revolving wall. Go out the door and through the door immediately to the left. This will take you into the library. There are more Koopatrols guarding the library. Hide behind the bookshelves as they pace around the library, then move when they aren't looking. Grab the Power Rush badge from between the bookshelves. Peach can't make use of the badge, so she'll just hold onto it for now. At the other end of the library, a Koopatrol and a Hammer Bro are talking about Tubba Blubba. They says he likes eating ghosts. He lives in Forever Forest and guards a Star Spirit in his castle atop Gusty Gulch. There's a nearby mansion and village of ghosts, where he catches the Boos. They think he may be stronger than Bowser since he's invincible, although he may have a weak point. One of them mentions that Tubba Blubba has a secret that would ruin him if it got out. It's about his past and that he didn't used to be strong. No one knows what the secret is. Peach is excited to hear that Tubba Blubba may have a weak point. The guards hear her and carry her off.
Meanwhile, in front of the Dry Dry Ruins, Mamar, the Star Spirit, thanks Mario. She knows he can save Peach. She gives him a present of a new Star Power and more Star Energy. The new Star Power is Lullaby, which makes all enemies fall asleep. The Star Spirits' power is always growing. Mario must save the other Star Spirit. She returns to Star Haven. Backtrack through the desert to Mt. Rugged. On Mt. Rugged, behind the train station, there's a stone block. Break it to reach a block that will upgrade a party member. I chose Kooper. Take the train back to Toad Town.
Now that Parakarry is a member of the team, we can now deliver the letters he lost on the mountain. One is addressed to Merlon. It's from Merlee, his granddaughter, who has set up shop in Dry Dry Outpost. He thanks Mario with a Star Piece. The other two letters are for Goompapa and Mort T., a Toad House owner in Koopa Village. Instead of backtracking the long way, there is a faster way to get around. Go into the Toad Town Tunnels after healing and saving. Go west by breaking the stone block.
Here, you'll encounter the Electro Blooper. It has 50 HP and gives 22 SP. It can become electrically charged, which will hurt anyone who comes into contact with it when trying to attack. To get rid of the charge, hit Electro Blooper without taking damage. When it's not glowing, you can attack it normally. A great attack is Parakarry's Shell Shot, regardless of whether it's charged. Keep attacking and you'll eventually defeat it. A blue switch will appear. Hit it to make three blue pipes appear behind you. The left pipe leads to Dry Dry Outpost, the middle to Koopa Village, and the right to Goomba Village. You can now easily reach these destinations from Toad Town. Go farther west into the tunnels and break a stone block to reach a chest with the Power Smash badge.
Go to Goomba Village and deliver the letter to Goompapa. A friend is planning a fishing trip. He'll give you a letter for Muss T., a Toad near the castle gardens. This is the start of a long chain letter expedition. While you're in Goomba Village, pick up the Tape Koopa Koot wants from Goompa if you haven't already.
Go to Koopa Village and deliver the Tape for 1 coin. He'll ask you to get him some Koopa Tea. Tayce T. in Toad Town, in the part of Toad Town where the pipe to the Toad Town Tunnels is, can make Koopa Tea from a Koopa Leaf from Koopa Village. Check the shrubs to find one, take it to Tayce T. and ask her to cook with it. Deliver the Koopa Tea for three Star Pieces. Next, he wants Luigi's autograph. He says they should call him "Air Luigi" for his jump. Unfortunately, Luigi's hiding in the basement of his house, so we'll have to wait for now. While in Koopa Village, deliver the letter to Mort T. in the Toad House for a Star Piece.
Back to that chain letter. Return to Toad Town and go past the Star Door that leads to the crater where the castle once stood. The Toad there is Muss T. Deliver the letter and he'll give you one for Koover, a Koopa who hangs out at the entrance to Koopa Village. He was the one who welcomed you into town. Koover, in turn, will give you a letter for Fishmael, who is fishing in Toad Town Port. Go west twice from the part of Toad Town with the entrance to the tunnels to reach the port. Fishmael is the one on the dock fishing. He has a letter for Koover in response. Give the letter to Koover, who has one for Mr. E, a Toad wearing a blue turban near the Toad House in Dry Dry Outpost. He delivers things from the Outpost to other parts of the Mushroom Kingdom. He has a letter for Miss T., one of the amazingly beautiful sisters near the Dojo in Toad Town. She's the one with the orange cap. She has a letter for the shop owner in Dry Dry Outpost. His name is Little Mouser and he says the juice from lemons and limes is very good. He has a letter for a Boo named Franky. Franky lives in a mansion in Forever Forest. Since we haven't met any Boos yet, we can take a break from the chain letter.
In the Dojo, we can now fight the Master. He's very strong, with 50 HP and a punch with an attack power of 6. Use moves like Power Bounce and Super Rank party members. Heal when you need to and keep attacking to win. He'll give you the Third-Degree Card, calling you a masterful fighter.
In the area of Toad Town with the entrance to the tunnels, head east. There's a guard there, who freaks out when Mario shows up. He says there's a ghost nearby. The Boo appears and disappears before Mario can see it. It then goes into the forest. The Toad is too scared to see what's going on, even though it's his job. Go east to the Forever Forest. It grows dark and the Boo from before appears. He inquires if Mario is Mario. His master wishes to see him at the mansion on the far side of the forest. She has important news regarding the Star Spirits. He will come get Mario if he doesn't show up. Go east to start the chapter.
