Mario lands in Shy Guy's Toy Box, which, oddly enough, has a functioning railroad. The map shows that there are four train stations and that the spring to exit the Toy Box is at the Blue Station. Mario's stuck at the Blue Station for now, as there's no train on the tracks. Go southwest (towards the screen on the left side).
As expected, this place is crawling with Shy Guys. In fact, the only enemies in the Toy Box are Shy Guys, with the possible exception of enemies Peach chose earlier and an enemy that hides in the shadows. All of them have 7 HP and give 2 SP. First, you'll encounter normal Shy Guys. They have 2 attack power normally, but if they do an acrobatic attack, initially marked with a sound effect, that attack will have 3 attack power. Here, you'll find a gray Shy Guy guarding a chest. Leave him alone as he is very strong. Deal with him when you are much stronger. Also in the area are Groove Guys, who are dressed like jesters. They have a spin attack that will make Mario dizzy, and they can also dance for reinforcements. Go west.
This area is filled with Shy Guys carrying some stolen stuff as well as some items you can use, like Mushrooms, Fire Flowers, and Cake Mix. The Calculator from the badge shop is here, so be sure to get it back. Once you've collected all the items you want, return to Blue Station and head southeast from there.
Kammy Koopa appears near a chest and guards the chest with the first choice Peach picked. If it's an item, Kammy Koopa doubts whether to trust Peach. In this room are large boxes decorated with stars on them. Stand on them and spin jump on them for a boost. Use them to cross gaps. In this area, you'll find Sky Guys. They hang from balloons and attack with sling shots with 3 attack power. You can attack the Sky Guy or their balloons to make them into normal Shy Guys. On the back wall are three buildings. Go through the doorway of the middle building, then go upstairs. You'll need to go up the stairs on the outside to reach the roof. Cross the gap with Parakarry to the left for a Star Piece and to the right to get over the wall. Use the coin block in the gap as a stopping point when crossing to reach an item block with a Thunder Rage. The chest at the far end contains the Storeroom Key for the southwest item shop. Return to Blue Station and pick up a Star Piece from behind a yellow hexagonal prism on the ground. Return to Toad Town.
Return the calculator to the badge shop so it can open again. You'll get the I Spy badge as a reward. Go to the southwest item shop and unlock the storeroom door. The owner says Mario can take anything from the backroom. There are four items: the Toy Train, a Dizzy Dial, a Volt Shroom, and a Snowman Doll. Take what you want, but be sure to grab the Toy Train. Go back to the house with the Toy Box and check out the box before going inside. Toss in the Toy Train and it becomes a full-size, fully functional train. Jump back into the Toy Box.
The Toads at Blue Station are amazed to see a train and thankful to be employed again. Hit the switch on the right to send the train to the east, to Pink Station. When you get there, check the nearby chest for the Mailbag. Go west. Here, you'll find Spy Guys, Shy Guys in camouflage. They change their weapons each time they're attacked. You'll want to avoid being attacked by their hammer, as it will cause you to lose a command in battle for a while. For example, they can take away Mario's ability to attack using a jump, the hammer, or use items. Medi Guys are Shy Guys in small helicopters. They have a weak attack, but can heal others and themselves. Get rid of them quickly.
Go west and you'll find a large Shy Guy. He's called the Gourmet Guy, a food-loving Shy Guy. He's hungry and won't move until he gets some food. He's blocking the path across the tracks, so you can't go much farther here. Return to Pink Station and go southeast.
Kammy Koopa appears and leaves Peach's second choice to guard a chest. Use the star block to bounce to the background. Go left for a chest with the Defend Plus badge. Use another star block to bounce back to the foreground. Farther to the right is a large blue wall. It rotates when a Shy Guy comes out from behind the wall. Stand next to the wall and wait so you can be flipped behind the wall. There are Shy Guys coming from the right side, so be careful. There's a chest nearby. Open it to get the Ice Power badge. The guarded chest is just ahead, with Tayce T.'s frying pan. Return to Blue Station, then return to Toad Town.
Return the frying pan to Tayce T. and she'll make you some of the most delicious cake as thanks. Now that she can cook again, go to Goomba Village to get a Goomnut if you haven't already. Have Tayce T. cook with it for some Nutty Cake for Koopa Koot. Your reward from him is 1 coin. Return the mailbag to the Post Office for a Star Piece as a reward.
Go back into the Toy Box and go to Pink Station. Gourmet Guy says he's too hungry to move and needs cake, specifically cake with sweet frosting and cookie crumbles. Give him the cake and he runs around saying how delicious it is. He launches into the air and drops the Cookbook. You can now cross the tracks. Equip the Ice Power badge now. There's an invisible item block with a Dizzy Dial between two item blocks. Go east.
In this area are Pyro Guys, flaming Shy Guys. Do not hit them without the Ice Power badge or you'll take damage. They have an attack power of four. Ice and water attacks do extra damage, and regular attacks when the Ice Power badge is equipped do extra damage. Go east to reach a switch. This will flip over the train tracks, fixing the broken section of track. You can now go to Green Station.
