Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga -- Part 2: Hammer Time

The Bros. walk into Hoohoo Village. The villagers are worried about Prince Peasley's disappearance. They say that climbing up the mountain is difficult, unless Blablanadon helps you out, but he's looking for Prince Peasley. To the southwest is the path out of the village. Fawful is there, scaring off a soldier. He notices the Bros. and says, "Y-You again! You are the pair of fink-rats that swooped in with the Bowser that I hate! Hmph! HMPH, I say to you! While I was busy with Peasley, you have been catching me! I have fury! But Cackletta has already begun smearing the butter of her next tasty plan over Beanbean Castle! Since you two cannot make it in time, I say to you that it is better never than late... So here is your halting place! I have fury! Since you will not be shattering this stone, I laugh at you trying to climb down this mountain!" He drops a stone statue in the middle of the path.

Go back into the village, into the house by the waterfall where they are trying to build the bridge. This is the home of the Hammerhead Bros., Mallet and Sledge. They recognize the Mario Bros. The Mario Bros. want hammers, but the Hammerhead Bros. can't make a hammer without Hoohoo Blocks from the top of the mountain. They need Blablanadon to reach the summit, but he's not available. The Mario Bros. agree to bring back a Hoohoo Block from the summit. Leave the area, then return to find the bridge fixed so you can ascend the mountain.

One of the enemies you'll find on the mountain are Beanies. They're easily defeated. The green ones frequently drop Woo Beans. Dry Bones are also here. The way their head spins will tell you which bro it will attack. If it spins around in a circle like it's turning its head to look around, it's aiming for Mario.

In some places, you'll find tornados. Use these to give extra power to your Spin Jump and cross wider gaps. You'll also find flaming statues near spouts of running water. Have Mario drink some water, walk over to the statue, and have Luigi High Jump on Mario to spray water on the statues to extinguish them. This will produce a tornado. If the water isn't running in an area, go to a different area and keep going. You'll eventually reach a ! block that will turn the water on. This will allow you to reach a new area with a statue with sparkling eyes. It's called Hoohooros, the ancient weapon of the Hoohoo civilization. The bros must pass his challenge or the gate will not open. We have 30 seconds to catch 10 Hoohoo Spirits from the platforms without touching the ground. Use the Spin Jump to get them. Once that challenge is complete, we must defeat him. This battle takes some strategy. He will hide under one of two pillars. He'll shoot lasers from the pillar. Destroy the pillar he isn't hiding under first. This will give him nowhere to hide, so you can attack. He'll shoot lasers as well while in the open. Use Bros. Attacks. The path ahead opens up once you defeat him.

From here, you'll also find Rexes. Stomp them before they attack to make them shorter. You can't dodge their attack while they're tall. In one area, hit the ! block to turn on the water. Go to the right where the flaming statue is, then Spin Jump to the left. You'll have to High Jump at an angle to reach the water spout. Walk to the right, behind the wall and drop down. Walk up the stairs and extinguish the statue. The tornado will allow you to reach an area with a path to the north. The areas ahead have moving tornados, so time your Spin Jumps and re-enter the tornados for Spin Jump boosts.

The next area is the summit. The telescope will allow you to see all of the Beanbean Kingdom. The Save Book is on the left. In the center is a sleeping pterodactyl. Bump the rock in front of it to wake it up. He says that rock is a Hoohoo Block. This is Blablanadon. He followed Prince Peasley up to the summit and found the huge egg he's currently sitting on. He thinks it will hatch soon. The ground shakes, which sends the Hoohoo Block down the waterfall into a chimney in Hoohoo Village below. A dragon called Dragohoho hatches from the egg, sends Blablanadon flying, and battles the bros. It will fire Hoohoo Blocks at them. Use Bros. Attacks and it will become shorter. He'll spit out a large Hoho Stone and will stand on it, making its attacks harder to dodge. Destroy it before that happens. Once you defeat Dragohoho, it will transform into someone will incredibly shiny hair. Blablanadon returns and explains that this is Prince Peasley. He's on a top secret mission, but ran into Cackletta and Fawful on the mountain. They transformed him into Dragohoho. Mario explains Peach's situation, but he's not worried about it. He says not to worry and that she'll be fine. He wants us to visit Queen Bean in the Beanbean Castle. It might be Cackletta's next target. He gives us a rose, which will allow us to enter the castle. He takes off and Blablanadon returns us to Hoohoo Village.

Go visit the Hammerhead Bros. The Hoohoo Block fell into their chimney, so they'll make a pair of hammers. They'll teach you how to use them. These hammers can only break brown rocks, including the stone Fawful used to block the path. Head down the mountain.
