With Bowser in the party, the three heroes made a most unlikely trio. Peach attempted to explain the quest to Bowser, but it made him grunt in confusion. As Mario walked ahead, he spotted something that made him briefly stop and stare... "What is it, Mario?" asked Peach, as she turned to see the blue expanse ahead. The great glittering waves of the Tile Pool stretched as far as she could see. Fort Francis was somewhere across the water...
In the Tile Pool, you'll find Cheep-Cheep and Bloopers. You can either avoid them or defeat them with Bowser's flame breath. Flip behind a mound to find some coins. The nearby item block has a Happy Flower. To the right is a vortex with rock over it. Flip to find a channel with coins that allows you to go over the vortex safely. On the other side, flip to find more coins on a ledge. At the bottom of the pool are six posts. Nearby, you'll find a Save Block and a pipe encased in blocks. Flip to go through the pipe.
The pipe leads to an area with more vortexes. Flip over the first one for some coins. When you swim near the vortexes, tentacles will appear. Wait until they go away to proceed. Swim up and get out of the water for a pipe. This leads to an area with Spiky Goombas and Bloopers that can flip. They may drop some Inky Sauce when they're defeated. On the far right is a door. Go through it and bars will appear over the door. There are a few Cheep-Cheep and Bloopers in the area. Kill them all with Bowser's fire breath and a large chest appears. Open it for funky Pixl music. This one's shaped like a heavy weight. It throws around a lot of girth in these parts and will check them out to see if they have the weight to hang with him. I switched to Peach before opening the chest. It checks out her face and says her big eyes makes his girthy heart flutter and have some heavy to them. +70 Girth Points. It says it takes guts to wear a pink dress around here. +100 Girth Points. Peach is slender, but has a beefy spirit and it won't mess with a girl like her. +1 million Girth Points. The heroes are blowing his mind as they've got heavy like it's never seen before. If a fool gets in their way, they have to girth them up by smashing and squishing lightweights. The Pixl wants to come along for the ride, as the heroes are going places. The Pixl Thudley joins the team and enables them to ground pound, even underwater. Pound the post on the bottom to make the bars on the doors disappear.
Return to the area with many vortexes and tentacles. Swim to the right and at the end, you'll see a picture on the wall of six posts. Swim back to the far left and go through the pipe. Near the pipe, at the bottom, are the six posts you passed earlier. Use Thudley to get them into the proper conformation. If a post is down, ground pound it to make it go up. The configuration is up, down, down, up, down, up. This makes a door appear. The door leads to an area with giant fish called Bittacudas. They will chase after you, so be careful.
Keep swimming to the right and someone says, "BLOOOP!" The Bittacudas flee the area. Tentacles appear, including a red one. Big Blooper appears, asking if the land freaks want a tentacle sandwich. Switch to Bowser and have Thudley out. You can use Bowser's fire breath on the red tentacle, its weak point, but if you're fast enough, you can do double damage with a ground pound, finishing the battle off quickly. Dodge all other tentacles. You can see the tops of the tentacles below. You can ground pound them, and if you're lucky, you'll hit the red one. Once you defeat it, Big Blooper falls away and a pipe appears. It takes you outside, to the star.
