Mario has arrived at Koopa Bros. Fortress. When you approach the front door, Black Koopa opens the door and is surprised to see that Mario's already here. Inside, you'll find Koopas. Battle them and you'll find Bob-ombs battling alongside them. They have 3 HP and give 2 SP. You must attack them at a distance, as they will explode. Be sure to defeat them immediately after hitting them, or else they'll get angry and explode when they attack you. Use your hammer or Kooper to attack. Defeating the only Koopa in the area will give you the key to the door to the east.
In the next room, Green Koopa places another key in a cage. To the right is a badge in a cage. You can slip into this cage from the right near the back wall. The badge is the Power Bounce badge. Go east into the next room. There's a set of stairs suspended by chains. You can't take them to the next floor. Battle the Koopa and three Bob-ombs to make the switch appear. This lowers the stairs so you can go downstairs. Go downstairs and go west.
As soon as you enter this room, the doorways move so they are out of reach. Defeat the three Koopas in the room to move the doorways back into place. While you're here, jump over the fire bars repeatedly to make them disappear and give you coins. Go west to retrieve the key. Go back upstairs and unlock the locked door.
You'll see Yellow Koopa working on the floor near an item block before leaving. Go upstairs and hit the item block. It's a trap and the item block activates a trap door below Mario. He drifts down into a cage below holding many Bob-ombs. The Bob-ombs say that they were locked down here by the Koopa Bros. The Koopa Bros. worked them into the ground. The pink Bob-omb, Bombette, says she was imprisoned after she exploded near them. Others were locked up to prevent a rebellion. They want help breaking out. Agree to help them and she'll join your party. She can blow up cracked walls to reveal new paths. Heal and save, then have her blow up the crack in the cage. She never thought about exploding near cracks. She and Mario leave the cell and a Koopa and a couple of Bob-ombs come to investigate. Defeat them, then go west and up the stairs.
Walk to the east side of the room and blow up the cracked wall. This leads outside to a chest with the Refund badge. Go west twice to the room with three cages and blow up the cracked wall to reach the key. Walk up the ramp to reach the locked door. This will take you to the room with the three cages. Use Kooper to hit the switches. The switches will make stone slabs appear in the gaps between the cages and walls appear. Cross the slabs in the gaps, then hit the switch again so you can reach the next switch. Go all the way to the left and go through the door.
Hit the blue switch in the room to make the stairs lower. Go downstairs and blow up the cracked wall to reach the key Green Koopa hid. Go back up the stairs to unlock the door. This will take you above the first room of the Koopa Bros. Fortress, where the pool of water is. Hit the switch to make the stairs under the water rise, making the Koopas in the water panic. The stairs will rise to your level and the Koopas may attack you. Use the stairs to reach the ramp. Go to the top of the ramp for the Smash Charge badge, then go partway down to the door. The door leads to the roof.
The Koopa Bros. are here and didn't think Mario would make it. They'll stop him with a barrage of Bullet Bills. The Airship music plays. Drop down near the door and blow up the rock for a Maple Syrup. Keep going to the right. You may battle the Bullet Bills that they fire. They have 2 HP and give 1 SP. They will hit Mario and explode. Drop down near the Bill Blasters to heal and save. Jump on the Bill Blasters to battle them. They have 4 HP and give 3 SP. They have a decent amount of defense, so use attacks that do at least 2 HP of damage when they land, such as the hammer and Body Slam. Once you defeat them, heal and save again, then go through the door to the east when you're ready.
The Koopa Bros. are setting up their special attack, trying to make sure everything looks cool. Bowser??? appears and battles Mario. It has 10 HP and is theoretically invincible. Hit it with the hammer and other attacks that can do 2 HP of damage at once and you'll slowly damage it. The Koopa Bros. will mention that it's starting to fall apart. Once it does, the Koopa Bros. will appear in battle. They'll stack on each other and do a spin attack that will do 1 HP of damage for every Koopa Bro in the stack. Use the hammer to knock them off balance, then have either Bombette or Kooper use their basic attack to knock them over. You can then attack them like normal Koopas. They are Ninjakoopas and have 12 SP each. Once you defeat them, they fall into the cage where they held the Bob-ombs, but the hole in the wall has been patched up. The Bowser robot fell down here as well, and there's a poster of Peach in it. A card with a Star Spirit appears. Get it to free the Star Spirit.
END OF CHAPTER!
And so Mario and friends beat the Koopa Bros. at their fortress and rescue the first Star Spirit. Stilll, six Star Spirits remain imprisoned, and they must save them as quickly as they can. The future of the Mushroom Kingdom, Star Haven, and of course, Princess Peach... lies in the hands of Mario... and his new friends. Their adventure has just begun.
