Mario and Luigi: Dream Team -- Part 18: Mario's Devious Plan

The bros learned a new move called the Ball Hop that allows them to jump higher. They used this new move to reach the first part of the Ultibed, the Pajamaja Rock Frame, found on Mount Pajamaja. They also rescued the remaining two Pi'illos on the mountain. After making a quick detour to the Blimport to pick up a picture and from a camera block, the bros continue to look for other Zee Parts of the Ultibed. Since they're already in Wakeport to decrypt the image, the bros check out the tour center area, where the next Zee Part of the Ultibed is supposed to be.

Starlow notices Popple's in the area as well. He says he found something: the secret to the Pi'illoper's house. The second floor entrance is hidden in a strange way, in plain sight. He's fine that the bros know, which won't stop him. He's going to leave as soon as he gets the loot. He leaves. Starlow thinks a Pi'illo collector lives in the house in question. Go up on the wall near the tour center and bounce up the wall. Walk to the north along the wall to reach a new area. It's full of ruins and no new development. Popple's hiding behind a pillar. He sees something else wandering around. It's a Wiggler, who likes traveling, but not crowds. He likes gardening and wants to start one here. Popple thinks Wiggler is on security patrol, hired by the collector.

Walk down the wall and you'll find Viruses. You'll also find Hermite Crab Rs. On the left, you'll find a pillow. Approach Wiggler and Popple freaks out. He tells them not to go near Wiggler, until he recognizes them as the two who keep getting in his way. He then thinks they're thieves. He thinks he can use the bros to get rid of Wiggler for him, then he'll steal the treasure. He offers to team up with the bros. Before they can get into the house, they need to get rid of Wiggler. He tells them to get more loot and experience. Let's try to find loot elsewhere.

Warp to Driftwood Shore Beach, then go west to where the Mole Hunt game is. Check out the door to the north. The bros and Starlow can't figure out how to open it, so they decide to ask around. Use the warp pipe to reach Broque Madame quickly. There's something she wants to show them. It's a stone she found on the beach. The stone has Pi'illo characters on it. Dreambert reads it and says pirates once sailed the seas in this region. The stone contains information on the pirates' treasure. Starlow suggests it may be a part of the Ultibed. It is located in a hidden cave on the beach. There's a code to open the cave. Broque Madame lets the bros keep the old lithograph. There is one pillow on a rock east of Broque Madame’s shop. Warp back to the Mole Hunt game. There's more Pi'illo text on the arch, saying, "Utter the code if you wish to enter." Dreambert says the code: Pi'illo willow armadillo, but nothing happens. Then, the rings in the door start spinning until the Zeekeeper panels line up, then lower to reveal an entryway. Someone notices that they've entered the cave and that they're treasure hunting. Others decide to follow them.

Inside the cave, walk to the west. Go to the northeast, smashing the rocks. Send Mini Mario past the hole and to the west to hit a switch. This lowers the drawbridge. Cross the drawbridge and go west. A sign says that if one passes through the rings ahead as a ball, they will get all the treasure. You must bounce through them in a certain order. Doing so will only allow the bros to cross the gap for now. Walk to the west, where there are more rings. This will take you to the other side of the breakable rock. Heal and save. In a clam shell are the Driftwood Jellyfish Sheets. A voice interrupts the party, saying the bros led them right to the treasure. The Fly Guys take the sheets and fly off. Go east to follow them. There's a pillow here in the cave. Spin Jump from the nearby high rock on the left. The Fly Guys fly farther east. Exit the cave to find the Mole Hunt Shelltop face down in the sand. The Fly Guys knocked him over. He thinks he can make more money off the bros because they want information on which way they went. He'll tell them if they can win the Mole Hunt game. He's finished tweaking the game to make it a little harder.

The Mole Hunt game's price hasn't changed (10 coins), so playing it isn't a bad idea. The score you need is 250 in a minute . He tells them he didn't see which way they went because his head was in the sand. He did hear them say something about catching a flight, so they may be at a blimport. If you keep playing, from here on out, he'll keep track of the bros' scores and award prizes for good scores (300+). Warp to the Pi'illo Castle lobby and go west from the castle. They'll find the Fly Guys before they reach the blimport. The Fly Guys think they'll get away with it. It seems they work for Bowser. The bros want to fight them, but they'll need a plan to get the sheets without them being damaged. Mario comes up with a plan that Dreambert calls devious. The bros sneak up behind the Fly Guys while Starlow and Dreambert create a diversion. They start a rumor of Bowser having a birthmark of a certain shape somewhere. The bros successfully retrieve the sheets just before the Fly Guys notice. They call the bros thieves. Of course, they're going to battle for them.

They are Fly Guy Rs. They have the same attacks as Fly Guys, but are faster and stronger. They battle alongside Goomba Rs. Slingsniper works well. After the battle, Starlow and Dreambert are thankful that they have the sheets. Starlow thinks the sheets look soft, considering they're made of jellyfish. Dreambert says to ignore that fact, as the thread count is off the charts.
