After breaking the block on the path leading out of Goomba Village, head east. There is a Goomba on a nearby sign. Reading it make a Goomba come off the sign and it can attack you. The red item block in the area contains the Close Call Badge. This badge may make enemy attacks miss when Mario's HP is low. All red item blocks contain badges. There is a sign with a Mushroom on it. The Mushroom will peel off, so you can pick it up. It heals 5 HP. Go east and use the Heal Block, then go east again when you're ready.
Two large Goombas appear, one red, one blue. They say that the Goomba King says Mario can't go through here. The Goombas are the Goomba Bros., Red Goomba and Blue Goomba. They battle Mario. Blue Goomba has 6 HP and Red Goomba has 7 HP. Each give you 10 Star Points when they are defeated. Just keep hitting them and heal when you need to. After you defeat them, they run away. Heal and save, then follow them using the spring. Go east, where you'll find another Mushroom sign that's a Goomba in disguise, then go east again to King Goomba's Fortress.
The Goomba Bros. ask King Goomba for help. They enter the fortress and King Goomba appears. He respects Mario for making it this far, then all three battle Mario. The Goomba Bros. are much weaker now, but King Goomba has 10 HP. To deal with them, first hit the Goomnut tree, where it is bandaged (you can select it as a target). It will make a Goomnut fall onto King Goomba and the Goomba Bros., dealing 3 HP of damage to each of them. This should get rid of the Goomba Bros. and make King Goomba easier to deal with. King Goomba can also hit the Goomnut tree to hurt Mario. Defeating them will give you 30 Star Points. They retreat into the fortress.
Hit the tree in front of the fortress for a Star Piece. Goombario says that there used to be a bridge behind the fortress, but it's gone now. Check the shrub on the side of the fortress for a blue switch. Hit it and you'll hear the Goomba Bros. tell King Goomba they hid the switch that opens the fortress outside. King Goomba tells Mario not to hit the switch, but it's too late. The ground starts shaking and the fortress's tower collapses and reveals itself to be the bridge. Go through the fortress and cross the bridge. On the other side, you'll find a brick block on the ground. Hit it with your hammer to make an item block appear. This contains a Super Mushroom, which restores 10 HP. Go east, and you'll see that Kammy Koopa is watching. You can now save.
Kammy Koopa flies to the castle and reports to Bowser that Mario defeated King Goomba. Bowser used his Star Rod on King Goomba to make him a king, but that didn't work out. The Star Spirits are being held separately by Bowser's subjects, so they can't give Mario their power. The closest Star Spirit is held by the Koopa Bros. at Koopa Bros. Fortress. The Koopa Bros. appear, saying they're the coolest of cool. Bowser isn't sure about entrusting them with the task of guarding the Star Spirit, but they convince him with their power of teamwork and their special attack. Bowser asks who's currently guarding the Star Spirit and the answer is nobody. The Koopa Bros. run off.
Mario's getting closer to Toad Town. Drop down the hill to find an item block with a Sleepy Sheep, which may put some enemies to sleep. Hit a nearby tree for a spring. This will allow you to reach the roof of the gate. There's a chest on the roof with the Hammer Throw Badge. Drop off the roof and go east into Toad Town.
In Toad Town, near the gate, is a pipe. This leads to Mario's house. Luigi is sitting on the porch, singing. He wonders what Mario's been up to when Mario appears through the pipe. He was worried about him. He was near the door when the castle started shaking and escaped. He's upset that Goombario's on an adventure with Mario and he isn't. He has to look after the house. Return to Toad Town to start exploring.
There's a post office, Toad House, a shop, and a Dojo in Toad Town, but the Dojo is closed. Heal at the Toad House to the east, then hit the tree for a Star Piece. When you're ready, go through the Star Door to the north. This will take you to where Peach's Castle was. Go east from here to go to Shooting Star Summit.
