Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga -- Part 11: Three Short Quests

The three remaining Beanstar pieces do not take as much effort to get. You can find them in whatever order you choose.

To the south, east of Beanbean Airport, is a Boo statue. Move it to make a path further south. This will take you to Harhall's Studio. Harhall keeps the Beanstar piece in a cage you can't reach. Two people will run out of the studio, unable to deal with the tempermental designer with a split personality. Harhall wants an assistant and will give them the Beanstar Piece as pay. The bros have to dye clothes and give them patterns by hitting little helicopters called Designbombs with water so they hit the shirt in the back. The colors mix: blue and yellow make green, red and blue make purple, yellow and red make orange, and all three together make brown. Mix two patterns to get a star. Harhall wants a red shirt of any pattern, a yellow, checkered shirt, a purple polka-dot shirt, and a brown shirt with a star. Once you're done, Harhall gives you the Beanstar piece. 2 to go! If you had fun making shirts, go back and Harhall will have you make all 28 possible design combinations. You'll be paid a Woo Bean for each shirt. Once all combinations are made, you'll get a piece of gear called Harhall's Pants.

Another Beanstar Piece is in Chucklehuck Woods. From the green pipe, go west, north, then west. A Koopa is blocking the entrance to a cave. Outside the cave is a snail blocking the path to the north. Go south. To the north is Winkle Colosseum. Pay 500 coins to enter. If you win the challenge, Winkles acknowledge the bros, allowing them to go to the north. The Winkle snails have a special challenge called the Chuckola Bounce. The bros will hold a bar and use it to bounce the energy blasts from the Chuckola Rocks back at them. Each Chuckola Rock you hit is one point. If the energy blasts hit the bros, they'll spin. Spin the bros using (A) and (B). Get at least 20 points by the time the Winkle walks to the other side of the screen to win. They will give you the Winkle Card. Go north to find Popple trying to pick off the Beanstar piece from the Winkle statue. Thankfully, he's alone.

He'll trying stealing items or hammers first. Hit him with Bros. Attacks. He's a pushover when he's alone. Defeat him for the Beanstar piece. One to go!

Go to the north Beanbean Fields for the remaining Beanstar piece. From the green pipe, go east, then north, past the Koopa. This leads to the Yoshi Theater. A Beanstar piece is on the sign. The owner is there, along with his annoying assistant. The owner wears clothes like a Yoshi egg and can target his assistant. He looks like Bubbles, the owner of Chuckola Chateau. He is Bubbles's younger brother, Boddle. He's president of the Yoshi Fan Club. Boddle will give the bros the Beanstar piece in exchange for something else to decorate the sign. He wants Neon Yoshi Eggs, which are laid by Yoshis after eating a certain food. That particular food is Bean Fruit, which you should have by now. The seventh Bean Fruit is outside of the theater, to the east.

Go into Teehee Valley, where the S.S. Chuckola was. Go south to the sea, then up the grassy ledges on the left. Dunk Luigi under the fence. Across the bridge is the last Bean Fruit, and a Piranha Bean that will eat it. Electricity is particularly helpful. It will spit something familiar-looking at Luigi, then swallow it again. It also spits fireballs. Once you defeat it, it spits out the familiar-looking object. It's Prince Peasley, shrunk down. Restore him to normal size with Luigi's hammer. As thanks, he gives Luigi the Bean Fruit. Feed the Yoshis and get the Neon Eggs. Talk to Boddle afterwards. He'll set up the sign and give you the Beanstar Piece. We're done here! You can return to Beanbean Castle or check out the places your new hand techniques can open up.
