There are a few things to do in Little Fungitown. Go west, then go east by Spin Jumping on the mushroom platforms. There's an invisible block with a Hoo Bean here. There's another Hoo Bean on the leftmost mushroom in front of the Embassy. You can jump on the mushrooms from the wall on the right. There are shops for gear and items. One local mentions not eating food you're not used to. Many others mention the Game Arcade, which is on the east side of town. They mention the Invincishroom, a mushroom delicacy of 1-Up Mushrooms and Stars, which is the prize for beating the high score in the arcade.
Inside the arcade, there's only one game open: The Star 'Stache Smash, hosted by Geno. We need to beat the high score of 200 points to get an Invincishroom. Use the (A) and (B) buttons to tilt the tray to make items slide into the mouths of Piranha Plants on the sides. If a bomb goes into a Piranha Plant's mouth, it will close and the other will open. I got a score of 339. The owner of the arcade will give the bros an Invincishroom, a green mushroom with red spots. Mario eats it without sharing with Luigi. Mario turns green and collapses.
Mario is rushed to the Embassy. The doctor says he has Bean Fever. It afflicts travelers who aren't used to the region's food. The doctor is out of the remedy that can cure Mario. He'll turn into a bean in three days if he isn't treated. The doctor says that to the west is a dangerous place called Guffawha Ruins. Crabbie Grass, the cure for Bean Fever, grows there. Luigi eagerly volunteers to go in search of the Crabbie Grass, until the doctor mentions monsters in the ruins that do nasty things to their victims. Luigi becomes his cowardly self. It is all Peach can do to talk him into it. A trembling Luigi leaves the Embassy, unable to jump. There is only one place he can go: a house on the southeast corner.
A Koopa lives here called Psycho Kamek. He has the ability to perform hypnosis. After a deep breath, Psycho Kamek mentions that Luigi looks a lot like Mario and might be a fan of his. He'll turn Luigi into Mario. He starts the hypnosis. After the hypnosis is over, Luigi has a look in the mirror. His hats and clothes are red and he sounds like Mario. Luigi is now confident and can jump around. Return to Teehee Valley.
Go south past the Toads, then head west up a small stone elevator on the left. Go south. The path splits ahead. To the east, you'll be able to reach a Hoo Bean in an invisible block. Go south, then west. Go west again and you'll be in an area like Hoohoo Mountain. Go south, then north up the large stairs. Hit the red statue in the middle. It will crumble and Luigi must hit eight blue spheres. Do not hit the red ones. They will turn blue eventually. Try to hit them right after they bounce. The surrounding statues will make a white statue with a switch appear. Hit the switch to open the door ahead. Use electricity on the orbs to open the gate.
The enemies here are Chuck Guys (like Spear Guys), Limbo Bros, and Oucher Glasses. Cross the gap of donut lifts. There's a complicated puzzle ahead. You have to hit switches to make the lifts move around so you can reach the top. There are four levels. Hit either the blue or green switch on the first level, then hit the other switch on the second level. This should allow you to reach the fourth level, where the red switch it. Hit it, then go back down to the second level. Hit the blue and green switches again, and you can reach the door. Ahead is another challenge, where you must jump from moving platforms while avoiding flames. This opens the door to the Crabbie Grass. Ahead is a yellow pipe back to Little Fungitown.
Head back to the Embassy. Lightning will strike. This will zap Luigi back to normal, so he won't remember what he was doing when he was "Mario". Ahead, more lightning strikes. The Clown Copter appears and Peach is in it. A silhouette appears. Luigi thinks it's Bowser, but the silhouette thinks he's mistaken. It's Bowletta, the result of Cackletta's spirit entering Bowser. Fawful explains, "Cackletta's power has poured ino this Koopa who is king!!! The body is of the Bowser, but the mind is all of the Great Cackletta!" Bowletta is kidnapping Peach to use her voice. They fly off. Well, the Princess has officially been kidnapped. Go into the Embassy and cure Mario's Bean Fever.
Back at Beanbean Castle, Toadsworth scolds the bros over the kidnapping. Lady Lima brings in a message from Bowletta, on a Game Boy Advance. She wants the four pieces of the Beanstar in exchange for Peach's safe return. She will contact the bros once the Beanstar reforms. The bros have no choice but to follow Cackletta's demands. Prince Peasley knows the general areas where the pieces fell. They are marked on the map. He challenges the bros to find them before he does. The prize: 99,999,999,999,999 Mushroom Coins. Toadsworth suggests getting the piece in Teehee Valley first. We should do as he says; we can't access the other Beanstar pieces yet.
