In the castle, Peach notices that the guards are not paying attention to them anymore and she wants to sneak out to find more news for Mario. Twink wonders if the secret passage is still safe and if Bowser has figured out how Peach keeps sneaking out. Peach says Bowser hasn't noticed anything because he isn't too bright. Hit the switch and you'll already be in the room where you found Bowser's diary. Leave the room.
Go to the room that's to the right of the locked door to the first floor of the castle. This room is a dining room and someone's at the table. It's Gourmet Guy. Somehow, he wound up here after launching from Shy Guy's Toy Box. He asks who Peach is, and when she responds, he says he should report her to Bowser. He can be bribed, however, and will keep this a secret if she makes something delicious. Peach agrees, but lacks ingredients and utensils. Gourmet Guy mentions there's a five-star kitchen one floor below and gives her the key to the door that leads to the first floor. Sneak out of the dining room. Go through the door on the right and you'll find a blue chest and a regular chest. The regular chest contains the Deep Focus badge. Check out the blue chest. Peach says it's a mysterious chest that was passed through generations of Peach's family. It's connected to another chest that looks just like it in the Mushroom Kingdom. If you put something in this chest, you can take it out of the other chest. She doesn't remember where the other chest is. Even so, she can only put in the badges she's found about the castle and not herself, which would be a viable escape method. Unlock the door, then sneak around on the first floor.
Go through the door on the right side that's up the stairs. There's a wardrobe that's shaking and a regular chest. The regular chest contains the Last Stand badge. Open the wardrobe and you'll find a Toad hiding. He's going to keep hiding until Mario rescues them.
Go back upstairs and put the badge in the chest. Go through the lower right door (the door on the left doesn't have anything but some building materials and decorations) to find the kitchen. Twink grabs a cookbook and picks a recipe for Special Strawberry Cake. Twink will read the recipe, so once you complete a step, talk to him to continue or start over. The recipe is as follows:
1. Place sugar and an egg in a bowl.
2. Mix the ingredients in the bowl. (Press (A) quickly for 10 seconds.)
3. Add flour and butter.
4. Mix and pour batter into a pan. (Peach will mix this on her own.)
5. Bake for 30 seconds. (Put the pan in the oven with (A) and take the cake out with (A). Use a watch or other timer.)
6. Cool cake and decorate with cream and strawberries. (Place cream, then a strawberry on the cake.)
After that, pick up the cake and take it to Gourmet Guy.
He says he's been waiting and is wasting away to nothing (he's the same size as before). He loves the cake and says it's too delicious. He runs around and says he hasn't ever felt like this. He'll share a secret as thanks. There's a Star Spirit in Mt. Lavalava on Lavalava Island to the south. The Lava Piranha is guarding the Star Spirit. She can tell Mario all this. He tells her the information because he doesn't dislike Mario. He leaves and Peach sends Twink to Mario. Twink leaves. Someone asks about the shouting in the room. Kammy Koopa enters the room and tells Peach to keep it down. Soon after, she figures out the obvious and orders the guards to take her back.
Back on the ground, Muskular, the newly-freed Star Spirit, expresses his gratitude about being saved. He's enjoying the fresh air and needs some outdoor exercise after being cooped up. He helps out Mario with more Star Energy and a new Star Power, Chill Out. This lowers the attack of all enemies. He says he's going back to Star Haven when Twink drops in with the news. He's star-struck by meeting a Star Spirit and shocked that Muskular recognizes him. Muskular says they're like family. Twink is touched. Muskular leaves. Twink, still star-struck, gives Mario the news about Lavalava Island. He returns to Peach's side.
Give Tayce T. the Cookbook, which means she can now use two ingredients in a recipe. You can try out new recipes now. Go to Merluvlee's house near Shooting Star Summit to retrieve the badges from the mysterious chest. Koopa Koot has some errands for you to run. First, he complains about the loud noise coming from next door, which is Kooper's house. There are a couple of Bob-ombs making a ruckus. One of them is crazy about Bombette. Talk to them, then report back to Koopa Koot for 3 Star Pieces. Next, he says that a Boo in the mansion in Forever Forest has an old photo of him. Talk to Franky, who'll tell you about Koopa Koot when he was younger, then give you the photo. Return it for 1 coin. After that, he wants some Koopasta. Get a Koopa Leaf from Koopa Village and buy Dried Pasta from the shop in Dry Dry Outpost, then have Tayce T. cook with both items. Return it for 1 coin.
Head over to the port in Toad Town. Kolorado's here, and he has the same idea of traveling to Lavalava Island. He's going there to solve a diabolical mystery of ancient treasures in a volcanic cave. Unfortunately, he doesn't know of a way to get there. He'll notice that you have the Artifact from Dry Dry Ruins. Give it to him for a Star Piece. Walk up to the front dock and onto a blue object in the water. Spin jump on it and it will start to move. Kolorado thinks it's a tuna, but it's actually a whale. The whale says there's something jumping around in his belly, causing discomfort. Kolorado asks Mario to help the whale out. The whale opens its mouth, so walk inside.
It's dark inside the whale, so use Watt to illuminate your surroundings. Go farther in and you'll see the Fuzzipede hopping around. It's pretty mad. You'll have to battle it, so place yourself near where it lands within reach. It has 20 HP and gives 15 SP. It will frequently hang on the spine, so use attacks that shake the ground, Hammer Throw, Shell Shot, Sky Dive, and Electro Dash. Once you defeat it, it says it was trying to get away from Fishmael when it was swallowed by the whale. Now that he's been beaten by a mustache man, he declares that he's had a pretty lousy life. The whale says that his stomachache has calmed down. His stomach fills with water and he spits Mario and the Fuzzipede out of his blowhole. The Fuzzipede tells off the whale, who admits he was napping with his mouth open. The Fuzzipede thanks Mario and leaves.
The whale feels better and says they should call him Dr. Mario. It wants to show its gratitude and it's good at swimming. The whale offers to take Mario anywhere. Kolorado wants to take the whale up on the offer and accompany Mario to Lavalava Island. The whale says they can go there, but it's dangerous as Mt. Lavalava is on the verge of erupting. Talk to the whale when you're ready to go to Lavalava Island to start the next chapter.
