The bros woke up Big Massif, so the tour of Mount Pajamaja can finally start. If you haven't yet, go to where the tour center is and unlock the gate to find another pillow. To solve the puzzle, move the diamond panel up one square, move the + panel to the left, then move the X panel down, right, down, right, then up. You can flip the panel from within the center square. Then move the diamond and + panels into place.
Go back to the castle, then go north of it. A Beanbean resident says that the Massif Bros passed through not too long ago. Have Mini Mario hit the switch behind the gate to the right to make steps. Go north and you'll find the Massif Bros. Talk to them to start the tour. They say the tour will beef the bros up and make them stronger. Starlow says to keep an eye out for the Dream Stone. Go north.
Walk up the stairs and the Massif Bros will point out a gate that's famous on the mountain. It's the Mighty Gate. It takes great strength to open. The Massif bros can't open it. The gate leads to the top of the mountain. They go to the east. There are giant pillows on ledges to the left and right. To the west, the bridge is out. Don't walk off the cliff or you'll wind up in the area with the shop. Go east and the bros will run into new enemies. The Monolifts have rocks stacked on their heads. They'll approach the bros. Counter with the hammer to make the rocks fall and hit them. They'll also throw rocks at the bros. Jump to dodge. Only use hammer attacks when attacking solo.
There's an Attack Piece in the area that the bros can't reach. The rope gating off the cliffs are broken in some places, so watch your step. Ahead is a zipline. Alternate pressing the bros' buttons to move up. Don't button mash; wait for the command prompt or you'll slide back down. Go east. The Massif Bros head north from here. There's a pillow under a rock. You can't do anything in the dream world right now, so leave it alone. South of the pillow, send Mini Mario under the rock to get an Attack Piece. Walk to the east to find another pillow under a rock. There are new enemies called Chizzles here. They'll throw a giant barbell at Mario. Defend with the hammer. They'll also dive underground and sit in pools of lava. Hit them with a hammer when they emerge. Sometimes, they'll line up rocks, then break through them to charge at Mario. Move around and dodge, and make sure they're actually charging Mario, as they'll back up sometimes. Hit the switch on the left to lower the wall to the nightmare chunk. In the real world, go east for another Attack Piece. Follow the Massif Bros to the north.
A new enemy is here, called the Fibbee R. It behaves similarly to a Fibbee. Use the zipline to cross the gap. Go west into the cave. The Massif Bros are in the cave of magma. They complain that the bros are slow. Walk up to them for the first challenge. They want the bros to cross the gap in front of them. The bros need to Spin Jump to reach the other side. Press [R] twice for the Spin Jump. Press (A) to get Mario to stand on Luigi, then (A) again to jump. Use the Circle Pad to move. Use [L] to reset to Jump icons. Follow the path for an Attack Piece. I decided to backtrack to see what new things we can reach. There's a pillow to the far east. It's to the southeast of the zipline near the cave. Leave it alone for now. Go south from the cave, then west which takes you back to the Mighty Gate.
From here, you'll come across a giant pillow. Dreambert says it's a Mega Pi'illo. Dreambert says the Mega Pi'illos in the area may know something about the Mighty Gate. Luigi goes to sleep, oddly enough only resting his head on the pillow. Go to the right in the dream world. Form the tower and Mario and Dreamy Luigi will have a talk. The tower can turn into other shapes. Press [R] and they turn into a cone. This allows them to hover across gaps like a Spin Jump. It's called the Hover Spin. Spin again in midair to extend your jump. Drop down to the right, Hover Spin across, press [R] twice to form a tower and Spring Jump up. This will break the nightmare chunks if you line up the Spring Jump with the coin trail on the left. The Mega Pi'illo is thankful for the rescue. He says that opening the Mighty Gate is his job, but it takes two Mega Pi'illos to do so. The Massif Bros are to the left, calling the bros slow again. They want the bros to follow them to the west. Go east and get the Attack Piece by Spin Jumping. Follow the Massif Bros west.
Cross the gap and keep going. Cross the gap to the right, then go north. There's an oxygen station because the air is thinner at higher altitudes. The Massif Bros are here, saying the bros have to ride the rising air of an air vent. They can do this by using the Spin Jump over an air vent. Spin Jump up using the first air vent, grab the Attack Piece, then go west instead of north. There's a pillow there. In the dream world, go to the left for an orange ! Block. Hit it to make blocks appear underneath some rails. The blocks open and close gates on the rails, allowing stuff to move. You want to make the golden dumbbell drop down into the left statue's hand. A glowing ball of light will appear and follow the course of rails, crossing at each gate. You want it to reach the dumbbell without running into enemies. Doing so will open all the gates to the other nightmare chunks in the area. Have the freed Pi'illo boost the bros to the Attack Piece on the ledge. I saved the other two Pi'illos before following the Massif Bros. Use the midair tornado to boost you up the ledge.
The Massif Bros are waiting at the top of a giant cliff. Start Spin Jumping up on the left side. There's an Attack Piece in the left corner. Spin Jump up and to the left for another pillow. Go left, form a cone, then Hover Jump up. Avoid the punching hand or the cone will fall apart. Go up the cliff on the right side. Press (A) in a moving tornado when you want to go up. To the left is a camera block. Grab the image. There's a new enemy here called the Grumbell. It will drop down on the bros. Counter with the hammer repeatedly. Go over to the Massif Bros, who announce that this is the best part of the tour. It's a test of courage off the cliff. Luigi doesn't like the idea. Both Massif Bros jump off the cliff and Luigi gives up cowering. Walk off the cliff.
The bros land in the oxygen station area. The Massif Bros applaud the bros for surviving, but tell them they're on their own to escape. They hint that the valve in the area will help. Spin the valve with a Spin Jump to activate two air vents: one to help escape and the other to reach the ledge the Massif Bros were on. Go south, then east to the other giant pillow. Hit the orange ! Block so you can return to the ledge with the giant pillow. In the dream world, walk to the right. A giant fist will block the path and an orange ! Block will appear. You have 15 seconds to hit five orange blocks with numbers. They will appear one at a time. Hitting them all will raise the fist. Go to the right, up, then to the left. There's another fist that blocks the path. This time, you have 18 seconds to hit the numbered orange blocks. Other blocks will appear, but you need to hit the blocks that count down from five to one. Ignore the blocks that are out of sequence. The fist will rise, so drop down to the nightmare chunk. Reunite the Mega Pi'illos Phil and Lowe, and they dance, before crushing the gate. The Massif Bros think the Mega Pi'illos are Muscle Lords. The Massif Bros continue the tour into uncharted territory.
Ahead, there are some spikes under a low ledge. Try to go back and the Massif Bros will appear, saying they will make a way. They will use their special move, the Side Drill, to pass over the spikes. Press [R] twice, (B) to have Luigi ride piggyback, then (B) to launch the Side Drill. Walk to the right to find the Massif Bros again. They say that Side Drill breaks through hard rocks, like the rocks sticking out of the wall. Follow the path up the mountain. This will take you into a cave. Here, the Monolifts will throw the Grumbells as part of their attack. Go north.
By random chance in a battle, enemies will appear in the background. Use a Taunt Ball to fight them. They'll get rid of the enemies you're currently battling. Here, you may find Pi'illodactyls. They'll use their wings to blow the bros away and blow rocks at them. Hit the rocks back with hammers. It will also breathe fire. Jump repeatedly to dodge. In this area, go up the left ramp, then Side Drill to the right for an Attack Piece. There's a pillow up ahead. There's a set of pipes behind the Pi'illo that will launch the bros to the mountain's snowy peak. The Massif Bros say the fountain there is crazy, but amazing.
The fountain water will put both bros in a deep sleep. A pleasant smell wakes them up. The bros run, light as feathers, to the smell's source. The smell is from an endless source of mushrooms. The bros grow larger than the island, so large that Bowser is no issue. The bros realize they can't get back to normal. Game over. Dreambert wakes them up, saying the fountain restores health, but gives nightmares. One can only imagine what the Massif Bros dreamt about. Go north towards the peak.
