Bowser has to find his way to Dimble Wood again from Blubble Lake. Immediately to the west is a purple house belonging to Broque Madame. Like Broque Monsieur, she has a French accent. She's looking for a burly masseur. Bowser doesn't like the idea, until she offers gear as payment. She's not looking for an ordinary massage, however. A Goomba appears and she likes the idea of Bowser's soldiers supplying the massage with Special Attacks for as long as possible.
First up is Goomba Storm. To get gear, make sure either 150 or 250 Goombas or more land on her back from the air. Miss tapping three Goombas and you'll have to start over. This can be quite a difficult challenge. Return when you get new Special Attacks.
To the southwest are new enemies called Beehosses. Vacuuming their honey can heal Bowser. One of them has a Blitty. They'll send bees at Bowser, so duck, then punch them back into the Beehoss. Periodically, Glam Lakitus will appear overhead. They're like Lakitu Kings, but give more money. Go south and you'll hear a voice. It's from one of the Koopa Troopas in a cage. He can't reach them due to the rock wall. Head north. Go up the ramp on the left and burn the ropes on the other side to lower the slab of rock. Go north to knock down the rock slab to return here more easily, then return south. Go up the ramp to the south and hit the metal ball, which will knock Bowser into the lake.
While underwater, swim with (Y). Stand on the seashells to return to land. There are Crawfuls in the water. Vacuum out their teeth for a defense boost. One of them has a Blitty. Bowser can breathe fire underwater in battle. Go east, then take the northeast path, then use the shell to surface. Bowser will see a raft and ship ahead. He thinks the ship would break the rock wall. Use the raft to go west, to where the ship is. There are some flowers that smell nice, but are spewing pollen. Send the bros to the Nose Deck, which is reacting. The bros will Spin Jump up into a higher part of the Nose Deck, where pollen is coming in. Starlow suggests knocking the pollen into his nasal walls. Use the stylus to slide. The pollen makes the nasal walls change color. Once all the walls change color, one of the walls swells up. Slam into the swollen membrane until it is no longer inflamed. Avoid spiky blue pollen, which will hurt the bros. Using the stylus can be a little difficult. When you slam the bumpy swollen membrane, Bowser lets out a tremendous sneeze, filling the ship's sails, and sending it through the rocks until it hits another area with the same flowers.
Take the raft to the southeast, where the ship ended up. Go up the right ramp. You won't be able to hit the ! Block before the pollen gets in Bowser's nose. Have the bros deal with the pollen again. The sneeze propels the ship across the lake, destroying the rock wall and the ship with it. The pieces of wood form a bridge. Break out the Koopas to get the Special Attack Koopa Corps. Use Bowser to deflect Koopa shells back into the enemy, like air hockey. Take the nearby raft to an island to the east. There's a raft on the other side of the island. Go east to another island and go up the ramp. Get some items, then go south. Heal and save.
To the east is a giant propeller in the water, near some of the flowers with lots of pollen. Bowser thinks he can use the propeller to fly into the forest. Deal with the pollen once more. The sneeze makes the propeller spin and rise out of the water. It's attached to a giant robot, which steps on Bowser. He gets a sense of deja vu before the robot stomps on him. Go to Rump Command to revive Bowser.
Bowser picks up and throws the robot. Bowser notices that they are both surrounded by the lake. Pushing the robot into the lake is to Bowser's advantage. It will try to fly out, so touch the body to punch it repeatedly. While it's in the water, punch the head. If it gets out of the water, some enemies will try to repair it. Breathe fire. It will also send enemies with bombs. Take out as many as you can with fireballs, except for the ones who have mushrooms. The robot will send out a giant bomb for Bowser to volley. Punch it repeatedly to defeat it. Bowser returns to normal size. The robot winds up on land, with its hatch open. Let's explore!
