After defeating Jojora and her friend, move into the next room. Fawful is there, saying, "So! The fink-rats come at last! Now is the time when you hand over the Beanstar, you little men! Send the Beanstar up to the top of this pedestal, and be hasty!" Send Luigi past the gate and Fawful commands, "Send the Beanstar up here!" Luigi presents the fake Beanstar and Fawful shoots it down. He says, "Oh! Oh, I am laughing at you! I can see through your pathetic designs, you ugly thing! That was a FAKE Beanstar! Now you give me the real one!" He vacuums up the real Beanstar from the suitcase, saying, "Har! You idiots of stupidity!", then flies off. Have Luigi go into the room to the north and hit the switch. This lowers the gate and Mario rejoins his brother. Mario comes up with a plan involving Peach's dress. Luigi is confused.
Go to the right. Fawful brings the Beanstar to Bowletta, saying, "O Great Bowletta! At last we have the Beanstar! I am joyful!" Bowletta is pleased. Mario appears, telling Bowletta to return Peach. Bowletta refuses, but Mario cracks up. Princess Peach walks in, covering her mouth. The presence of two princesses confuses Bowletta. Peach says the princess Bowletta kidnapped is a fake, prepared in advance. Bowletta chases after Peach and leaves the other one behind. Once they are gone, Mario talks to Peach, who is thankful and kisses him.
On the Koopa Cruiser, Bowletta and Fawful are thrilled to have Peach and the Beanstar. Fawful says, "I still have rage over that fake Princess Peach..." Bowletta admits that Peach and the bros are sly. She asks why Peach is covering her face. Fawful asks, "Do you hide something?" Bowletta freaks out at a cockroach behind Peach and she jumps, uncovering her face, revealing that she is Luigi. Bowletta asks, "Fawful, did you see that?" Fawful responds, "Yes. Mustache." Luigi's cover is blown. Bowletta commands Fawful to fire at will. The blast detroys the wig, revealing Luigi definitively. Luigi runs off and blocks their path with a crate. Luigi changes clothes and goes through the Koopa Cruiser.
The Koopa Cruiser has been hastily repaired and it looks like it.There are several orbs activated by electricity. Some of them reveal invisible blocks with lots of Hoo Beans. You'll eventually make it to the mouth of the Cruiser, where the Beanstar is. Activate the orb and Luigi takes the Beanstar, puts on a parachute, and jumps before Bowletta can reach him. Fawful says, "We chase them now!" Bowletta says they'll go to the Mushroom Kingdom instead. Fawful is worried and confused.
While falling to the ground, Luigi uses Peach's dress as a parachute. Prince Peasley appears and takes the Beanstar. A bird bites the cord tethering Luigi to his parachute and Peasley can't catch him. In Teehee Valley, Mario, Peach, and Toadsworth are waiting for Luigi to land. He lands face-first on the other side of some rocks. He sinks into the sand and drops underground, sending up a ! Block. Peasley will move the Beanstar to some place safe and Toadsworth and Peach will return to the castle. Mario's on his own to find Luigi.
Go north, then south. Hit the ! Block to lower a platform. Underground, Popple finds an unconscious Luigi and orders Rookie to tie him up. Just like Peach, Luigi has been kidnapped. Go back north over the lowered platform. Go to the left, where you'll encounter Dry Bones. These ones are faster and stronger than those you found on Hoohoo Mountain. Go through the yellow pipe on the left to go underground. Light the torches and use the Save Book. Ahead, Luigi is tied to a pillar. Use the Firebrand to burn the ropes. Popple appears, waiting for Mario to show up. He's found a new Rookie, who turns out to be Birdo. Birdo wants to spend some romantic time alone with Popple. Popple is not okay with this idea. Popple is okay with showing off Birdo's abilities in battle. With Birdo's power, they'll be unstoppable. Birdo thinks their special power is the power of love.
As always, Popple will first try to steal hammers or items. Attack Birdo first, or Birdo will retaliate for you hurting Popple. Birdo will try to inhale the bros. Stop the attack with a hammer. Birdo will also aim at the bros and shoot flaming rocks at them. Popple will flee after you defeat Birdo. Popple calls Birdo useless and fires his new Rookie. Birdo kicks him far away and decides to go solo to become a superstar. Go through the yellow pipe ahead and return to Beanbean Castle Town.
The town is under aerial siege. Go to the castle. Queen Bean informs the bros that Bowser's Castle is to blame for all the destruction. The place is defenseless to air-based attacks. Prince Peasley informs the bros that Peach and the others are safely in Little Fungitown. Mario says that he and Luigi know Bowser's Castle very well and will take care of things. Prince Peasley leaves on his own. Now the bros need a way to reach Bowser's Castle in the air. Return to Hoohoo Village and talk to Blablanadon. He'll fly the bros to Bowser's Castle and will bring them back when they want to return.

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga -- Part 8: What We have here is a Failure to Communicate
There are orbs at the entrance to the Beanbean Airport. Go south and go past the attendants. Lady Lima has summoned the bros to the runway. Piranha Plants started growing on the runway, preventing Peach's plane from landing. Repairing them wasn't a priority with Cackletta running around.The bros must do something about it or her plane will keep circling or just return to the Mushroom Kingdom. The Piranha Plants are healed by fire, but weak to electricity, but this is not the proper way to defeat them. Have Mario drink water from one of the many waterspouts and spit it up on the Piranha Plants. Next, have Luigi zap the Piranha Plants, which will destroy them and a root attached to a giant egg on the runway. When all five are destroyed, the egg will crack completely and reveal Mom Piranha.
Destroy the two Piranha Plants first. Blue ones may appear, which are weak to fire and heal from electricity. When both are gone, hit Mom Piranha. She'll swing her vines, trying to trip the bros. She'll also shoot an energy ball at them, which they can hit back at her. She'll drop the Spiny Badge A, which allows a bro to jump on spiked enemies to deal damage.
Talk to Lady Lima once you've defeated Mom Piranha. The runway has been prepared and Peach's plane has a smooth landing. Back at the Beanbean Castle Gardens, Peach appears and can talk normally. She thanks the bros for everything they've done. Toadsworth says the bros shouldn't be startled by her ability to speak normally. Her voice was never stolen. Prince Peasley knew of Cackletta's plot and warned Peach in advance. Apparently, there was a decoy Peach that had her voice stolen while the Princess was safely in hiding. This decoy is none other than Birdo, whose voice made the Beanstar react strangely. So, everyone was in on the plot and had planned everything in advance, but didn't bother to tell Mario and Luigi, who thought the world was in grave danger. If they had let Mario and Luigi in on the scam, they could've just let Bowser go to the Beanbean Kingdom without the bros, let him duke it out with Cackletta, while strengthening the castle's defenses in preparation of the arrival of the victor, who would be after Peach. Peach apologizes for causing the bros such trouble. She was going to tell them, but Bowser beat them there.
In the meanwhile, Prince Peasley will search for the Beanstar pieces while Peach and the bros do some sightseeing. Go into the throne room where Peach will mention a town inhabited by Toads in the Beanbean Kingdom called Little Fungitown. She wants to pay a royal visit. To reach it, one must go through Teehee Valley, which is filled with dangerous monsters and is too dangerous for her. Only if Mario and Luigi escort her will Toadsworth allow Peach to go there. Mario agrees to take her. The bros are to meet her at the entrance to Teehee Valley in the northeast.
Exit Beanbean Castle Town to the east, then go directly north. There's a rock blocking the entrance. Go inside and Peach and Toadsworth will appear. Peach apologized earlier about causing the bros so much trouble, but she's about to cause much more. Peach will walk on a set path around the area. If she reaches the end of her path or the bros talk to her, she'll go the opposite direction. If she wanders out of site, she'll be kidnapped by Gritty Goombas. Go through the yellow pipe in the area to reach her. There are Gritty Goombas guarding her, but you can just walk past them. Talk to Peach and they'll return to the same area. She'll also be kidnapped if she runs into a Gritty Goomba while walking, so kill those off early on. While she's walking around, you will have to solve puzzles in some areas to open up the path ahead. Talk to Peach to make her change her path to buy you some time. If she makes it to the area's exit, she'll say, "That wasn't so bad!" Don't try to be slick or sneaky by letting Peach get kidnapped, going forward, and solving the puzzles ahead of time, then trying to find her in the pipe in the last area. It doesn't work. She must be present at all times. Soon, you'll come to an area with a Save Book. You're almost there. Peach walks ahead.
The bros follow her and hear her scream. A giant tree has her cornered. Two Toads try to get the other to save her, but don't. The bros rush in to battle with Trunkle. He'll wind up his arms and roll his fists at the bros. Block the attack with hammers. Hammer-based Bros. Attacks work best. Once you do enough damage, he'll split into four Trunkles. The one with the orange in its mouth is the one you need to hit. The little Trunkles will shuffle around, so try to keep track of them. Once you defeat it, the Toads will come out of hiding. They welcome Peach and the bros to Little Fungitown.
The Toads of Little Fungitown are surprised that Peach made it here so soon and that the bros are here. Peach goes on ahead to the embassy, so the bros can sightsee. I recommend going northeast, south, then west to find the green pipe.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star -- 4-1 Snow Rise
It's a winter wonderland here. Snow covers the ground, the stickers are shiny, and so are the enemies. There are two paths in the first area, but we can only reach one right now. The other path leads to what looks like a giant ice cream cone. Stick a Fire Flower over it to make the snow melt and reveal a scrap. In the next area, there's a snow slide where Cooligans slide. Don't stand in their way, or you'll take damage. Move on to the next area.
Hit the large snowballs with your Hammer to break them. Be careful walking up the ramps, as snowballs will roll down from Snow Spikes and hurt you. Follow the coin trail down the ramp to the right to find where the scrap in the first area is supposed to go. At the top, you can see the comet piece in the distance. To the left are a Heart Block and a Save Block. We go back to the first area using the higher paths to get the "Pipe in a Cave" scrap. We replace it and go through the tunnel at the top of the hill.
There are steps to the top of the hill, where we can see a thing in the background, which looks like a Goat. We hit the tree and a rosy spotlight shines on the Goat and something drops down from the sky. It's a swing, and Birdo slides down to swing on it. "Heart of a woman, heart of a man... Both can know of love's grace... Just try not to get egg on your face..." The last swing brings the Goat over to us. We go back the way we came, just more confused.
Go down the ramp to the right and stand on the mound of snow above the cave to drop down. The pipe takes us into the background, where the comet piece awaits. This opens the path to 4-5. There's a secret exit I'm going to find before we move on.
I need to return to Decalburg, but as soon as I get the boat moving, Bowser Jr. appears. He says, "TA-DAAAAH! Hey, long time, no see, Mario! Aren't you looking chipper. Sniff sniff snoooooooffffff... Mmm... And you've got an even rarer sticker than last time, don't ya? Yeah, well, that is REALLY ANNOYING! Give it, give it, GIVE IT NOW!" Battle time. He has 100 HP this time. He doesn't heal every turn. He'll attack with the Clown Copter and sometimes pull out Bob-ombs. Don't jump on him when he has them. It's not too difficult to beat him. He says, "Dang! You're nothing but a big bully! I'm telling my dad on you! And my dad is SOOOO shiny right now! He's way way, stronger than the both of you combined! Better be ready to cry a lot!" He flies off.
We return to the top part of the second area, where the Cooligans slide. There's some bricks on the right side. Place the Radiator sticker here. It melts the snow, giving us access to another cave. The slide says to beware of wild Cooligans. Now that there's no snow, we have nothing to worry about. There's a door drawn on the lower part of the hill. The Secret Door leads to the Cell Phone. The tunnel leads to an area with a Heart Block and more caves. The caves are alcoves so we can dodge the snowballs and the Shiny Goombas rolling on them. Hit the snowball from the alcove. Be sure to take out the Snow Spikes. The comet piece is at the top of the mountain. This opens the path to 4-2.
