Mario and his new friends opened the door, unsure of what they would find. All the while, Merlee's words about finding the "other two heroes" rang in their minds. Were these other heroes somewhere in this new world? If not, where? Meanwhile, the creeping void grew larger in the skies above Flipside. The hopes of all worlds rested on the heroes finding the next Pure Heart.
The yellow door leads to The Bitlands, an 8-bit area. Tippi senses the Pure Heart nearby, but she can't tell where. A tongue comes out of nowhere and grabs her. Someone laughs, "Nerr-herr herr herr..." A chameleon appears, calling the "super-rare pixelated butterfly" it just caught "hi-technical". His friends at digibutter.nerr will freak when they hear about it. He wants to bring it home quickly so he won't miss the latest episode of the "The Grodus Chronicles", as he doesn't trust his digital Recordomeow for such an epic episode. It disappears.
Everyone is shocked. Also shocked is someone in the nearby shrubs. It's a Pixl, saying that it saw a kidnapping, a shocking scene before their eyes. That's a wrap for that Pixl now that Francis, the chameleon, has her. Check out the shrub and the funky Pixl music starts. The Pixl asks if they're friends of the butterfly girl. It says that Francis is the nerd to end all nerds and has a thing for butterflies. Once he gets his hands on something he likes, there's no getting it back. He keeps his collection in a fantasy fortress, which is basically a geek paradise, miles away from here. The Pixl says that infiltrating the nerd's lair for a rescue will be dangerous, so it offers three tips. 1.There are some no-class jerks in an old castle ahead that isn't easy to get past. Do something to the red X mark. 2. Next, they'll see an ocean, where a scary, cranky, huge sea monster lives. Toast its red flipper thing. 3. After that, there's a humongous tree with a huge gorge next to it. Do something to the red wind. It says to tell him if they save her.
Up ahead are two tall pipes. Flip around them, then climb up the hill with many Koopas in 2D. At the top, kick the Koopa shell down for lots of points. I leveled up. There are Piranha Plants in the pipes. Cross the gap and flip for some flip blocks. Use it to reach the top of a pipe. Above it is a brick block with a ladder that leads to a door. Go through it and have Peach float all the way to the left to a pipe. The pipe takes you to the background, where there's a Catch Card SP. Return to the foreground and you'll find Hammer Bros. and a Mega Star in an item block. Go through the door on the right. A Koopa freaks out and gets a Mega Star. It transforms into a giant 8-bit Koopa that will charge right for you. Run to the left and get a Mega Star of your own so you can defeat it. The sign to the right is written backwards. It says to fall between the red pipes. Hit the switch for a platform under the door, so you can return.
Go back to the main part of the level and drop down the gap between the red pipes. You'll end up in an area looking exactly like 1-2 of the original Super Mario Bros. Flip and you'll see some creative changes. The first item block has some Pal Pills. Go through the first pipe and flip to find another Catch Card SP and some coins. Go farther ahead, and you'll find a pipe between the blocks that form the stairs. Flip to find some flip blocks so you can get the Super Shroom in the item block. Go past the inifinite platforms and go over the blocks to find a secret area. Instead of warping you to new worlds, these pipes take you to other parts of this chapter. The left pipe will take you back to the first area, near a chest with a Piranha Plant card. The right pipe leads to the same area as the middle one, but farther to the left. Flip behind the pipe to find a chest with a Magikoopa card. Walk to the right and you'll find a Save Block. Also in the area are Toopa Strikers, Koopas that kick around Koopa Shells like soccer balls.
Keep going to the right, and someone yells, "HALT!" It's a Toopa Striker, saying that this is Bowser's Castle, and he doesn't like chumps like them geeking up the place. He'll give them a complementary nose job courtesy of his shell. He summons other Koopas, Hammer Bros, and Bill Blasters to attack. Go over the next two castles and you'll come to the largest one in the area. There's a red X on it at the corner. Use Boomer to blow it up. Bowser falls to the ground, asking to tell him someone did not just blow up his awesome lair. He looks at Mario, saying he recognizes that 'stache from somewhere. He remembers Peach clearly. He asks why Mario would blow up his castle, saying that was his 100th time at his castle where he screwed something up. He jumps, knocking Peach away. Walls form an area, trapping Mario in with him and Peach outside. Bowser welcomes Mario to his fortress of pain. Mario must now battle Bowser. The spikes on his shell means jumping on him won't work. Use Boomer and press (1) when Bowser is nearby so Boomer will explode on cue. Dodge Bowser's jump attacks and flames. When you win, Bowser says he hates Mario and that wasn't fair.
Peach asks if Mario's okay. Bowser calls Peach his "lovely wife" and when she doesn't respond favorably, asks how she could forget their big day. She calls the wedding a sham and not a real wedding. She asks why he's here. Bowser says he was locked up in Bleck's castle and then suddenly found himself face down here. He found a castle in the area and made it his lair. Peach says they need his help and asks him to join their party. Mario explains how the "wedding" formed the Chaos Heart and what is going to happen. Peach says they need Bowser's help in looking for the Pure Hearts. Bowser doesn't want to help Mario, but he'll help Peach. Peach says there's no time for him to be a big baby and asks nicely. Bowser says he's grade A, 100% prime-cut final boss, and he's poised to take over the world any day now. Mario keeps thwarting his awesome plans. He says he won't do it for her when she asks. Mario explains that if the world ends, there will be nothing left for him to take over and rule. Peach also reminds him that Count Bleck had his minions brainwashed, so they do his evil bidding and toil under a different cruel and merciless master. Bowser grumbles, roars, then reluctantly agrees to join them. Peach calls him sweet, but he disagrees. He's not helping Mario; he's only doing it so he can rule the world someday. Bowser joins the party. Press "Down" on the Control Pad to make him breathe fire.
Some of his minions ask if he's leaving. He says he is and tells them to hold down the fort until he returns. He's going to dole out punishment to his brainwashed minions. The minions say they'd defend him, but they'd only get in his way. Bowser says anyone in a cape and monocle is begging for a beating. The minions say they'll miss him, but are also planning to party once he leaves. Bowser says it's time to get going and find their "Precious Heart", or whatever it's called. The star is to the right.
