It's time to finally deal with Bowser! Go upstairs in Peach's Castle and Peach will call for help. Bowser is in his Clown Copter. He's glad to see Mario because he's been a distraction for far too long. He wants to squash him again. The battle starts. Bowser has 50 HP and 1 defense power. His attacks vary in their attack power. His fire breath has an attack power of 8 and his jump and smack attacks have 6. He'll use the Star Rod to increase his defense. Use the Star Beam each time he does to negate it. He can also use the Star Rod for a shockwave attack that can hit your party member or heal 20 HP. Hit him with your best attacks, like Power Bounce and Electro Dash and you'll win. You'll get 38 SP.
Bowser says Mario's battling wasn't bad and wonders how he got so strong. Mario's still just an annoyance to him and that was just a warm-up battle. He takes Peach and flies out the broken window. Follow him to the roof and go through the west door. There's a Save Block here, the last point before dealing with Bowser again. At this point, I am level 24, with 45 HP, 40 FP, and 30 BP> The badges I have equipped are Power Bounce, Dodge Master, 2 Power Plus badges, Defend Plus, 2 Damage Dodge badges, Last Stand, and Close Call. This limits the number of attacks I can do, but I like the ability to hit multiple times with Power Bounce. Choose whatever badge combination suits you. Go up the stairs and outside. Cross the bridge and Bowser hits a switch that makes the bridge fall away. Peach says to be careful. Kammy Koopa says Mario fell into their trap. They weren't foolish enough to just sit back and watch Mario save the Star Spirits. They built a device into this arena that increases Bowser's power to a point where the Star Spirits' power can't compare. He's truly invincible thanks to her efforts. The machine powers up and the eyes on the arena light up. The spikes start spinning and energy spirals to the center of the floor and makes Bowser larger. It's time to battle again.
This time, Bowser has 99 HP, 2 defense power, and the power of each attack has increased by 2. He'll use the Star Rod, but when Mario uses Star Beam, it doesn't work. Outside the battle, Peach wants to help Mario, as he'll be defeated if things continue the way they are. She asks someone to help Mario. Kammy Koopa tells her to keep quiet. Twink flies in and knocks her off her broom, then unties Peach. Kammy Koopa battles Twink, who's not afraid. Twink's sole attack is Dash. When you first use it, it does nothing. Peach helps out by using Focus. Kammy Koopa summons a large block to hit Twink. The next time Twink uses Dash, it has 1 attack power and when Kammy Koopa attacks again, his defense increases. Eventually, Twink gets stronger to the point that he has 4 attack power and Kammy Koopa's attack is useless. She remembers that Stars get their powers from the wishes of people. Twink defeats her. She says she failed Bowser. Twink and Peach still need to save Mario. Twink tells her to make a wish to give more power to the Star Spirits, while thinking of the Mushroom Kingdom, Star Haven, and Mario. Twink will help Mario while Peach makes her wish. Twink hits Bowser. Eldstar appears, saying that power is flooding in. Twink will help the Star Spirits as the wishes of Peach and the Mushroom Kingdom will give the Star Spirits enough power to match Bowser's strength. The Star Beam powers up to Peach Beam, and now includes Twink.
The battle starts up again and Mario's fully healed. I used Watt as a party member throughout the fight, using Electro Dash to bypass Bowser's defense and Turbo Charge to power up the Power Bounce attack. Bowser's slap attack can poison Mario and if his Star Rod attack connects, it can hit party members and power Mario down, making Turbo Charge run out. He can strike Mario with lightning that has 9 attack power. He can also heal 30 HP. Keep attacking with your most powerful attacks and stay healed and you'll eventually defeat him.
Mario gets the Star Rod back and Bowser shrinks down to his normal size. The arena and Bowser's Castle explodes and Bowser and Kammy Koopa are blown away. The Star Spirits protect Peach and Mario and take them to her castle. Mario hands over the Star Rod to Eldstar, who thanks Mario. The Star Spirits will use the Star Rod to bring peace and grant wishes. The stars praise him for his courage. Perhaps Bwoser will behave himself, but the chances of that are slim. They praise Twink for rising to the occasion and is now a grown-up star. They will return to Star Haven and this is good-bye for now. Twink thanks Mario and was honored to help. He hopes to see Mario and Peach again and grow into a respectable star. Peach thanks him for his help and calls him a stellar friend. The Star Spirits and Twink fly off as Peach's Castle lowers back into place.
Back at Mario's house, Luigi marvels at the story of how Mario took back the Star Rod. Peach's Castle is back in place and everyone is safe. Mario came through like always. He's been back for a few days, but it still feels like he's on an adventure. He wonders about his party members. Goombario and Goombaria are playing in Goomba Village when Parakarry delivers a letter for Goombario. It's an invitation from Peach to a party at the castle. Bombette's in Koopa Village, Bow is in her mansion, Watt's in Shy Guy's Toy Box, Sushie's in the jungle of Lavalava Island. Lakilester and Lakilulu are in Flower Fields, and Kooper and Kolorado are in Shiver City, about to explore the Crystal Palace. Parakarry delivers invitations to all of them. Kooper hesistates, but Kolorado tells him to go. Parakarry also has a message from Kolorado's wife, telling him not to come home. She's furious that he left on an adventure without telling her. He leaves for home immediately, leaving his assistants confused. Mario and Luigi also get an invitation. Luigi runs on ahead to deal with something top secret.
Go into Toad Town and you'll see many people here. Go to the castle and you'll find guests from the ill-fated party here. Talk to one of the Bumpties and he'll says that Herringway's working on a new novel based on Mario's adventures. He's going to call it "Paper Mario". Go into the castle and Peach says she's happy everyone's here. The Star Rod is in its rightful place and there is peace once again. She thanks Mario and his party, as well as everyone who helped out. She appreciates their help. Peace in the Mushroom Kingdom is her heartfelt wish. It's now time to celebrate. Luigi reveals his top-secret assignment: to lead the celebration parade. Roll credits!
I had a fun time playing Paper Mario. It was a fun game and I look forward to playing its sequels. I hope you enjoyed reading about it and I hope you enjoy reading about Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, which is next.

Paper Mario: Chapter 6 -- Dark Days in Flower Fields -- Part 1
Mario has arrived in Flower Fields. A voice asks who he is. The giant tree is talking to him. The gate to Flower Fields is part of him. He is the Wise Wisterwood, the oldest tree in Flower Fields. He knows of Mario's quest and says the Star Spirit may be here. Unfortunately, Flower Fields is in trouble. Huff N. Puff invaded recently and brought many clouds to the sky. It's been dark and cloudy ever since, because the sun doesn't rise. The plants here are weak and fading. Huff N. Puff took a Star Spirit captive. Mario says he'll defeat Huff N. Puff. Wise Wisterwood says that Huff N. Puff is in the sky, on Cloudy Climb. Mario can't reach him without a Magical Bean or something that grows high. A flower named Petunia may have a Magical Bean, so Mario should find her. She is due east of here.
Where Wise Wisterwood is, there are six paths out of the area. Go due east first to find Petunia. You'll encounter Crayzee Dayzees, enemy flowers with 8 HP and 4 attack power. They will sing, which can hurt Mario or make him fall asleep. Guard when they're done singing, meaning when no more musical notes appear. They may run away if their HP gets low. They give 2 SP. Also in the area is a bee called a Bzzap! Some of them hide in trees. They have 3 HP, but 6 attack power. They can sting Mario, which may poison him, or send a swarm of smaller bees to attack individually, in quick succession. This may shrink Mario. They give 2 SP.
Go east and the music will become intense. There are several Monty Moles in the area, around an angry flower. This is Petunia. Talk to her and she'll tell you that there's no sun, so she doesn't have any energy. She's starting to droop and the Monty Moles are biting her roots. If they aren't stopped, they'll eat her seed collection. She asks Mario to get rid of them. These ones have 12 HP and 3 attack power. They still just throw rocks. They give 2 SP. There are 4 of them. There's also a Crayzee Dayzee behind the tree, but you don't have to deal with it. Once you defeat all of the Monty Moles, Petunia will give you the Magical Bean. She says not to plant it (even though the description says it's twitching as if to say "plant me right now!"). As a seed, it can enjoy freedom. It can't move once it's been planted. So, Mario definitely shouldn't add Fertile Soil and Miracle Water to it and plant it. Hit the tree in the area to get some Red Berries. Keep at least one in your inventory. To the left of Petunia is a hidden panel with a Star Piece. Return to Wise Wisterwood, then go southwest.
There's a red flower guarding a gate. He won't let Mario through, but he can be bribed with something delicious. Give him a Red Berry and he'll open the gate. Here, you'll find Ruff Puffs, small clouds that will attack you. They have 10 HP, 4 attack power and give 2 Star Points. Hit the green tree for a couple of Yellow Berries. Keep at least one in your inventory. Go west. There's a flower by a Crystal Tree. Her name is Posie and she has a long nose due to the fertile soil in the area. She gives some to Mario. Return to Wise Wisterwood and go southeast.
There's a yellow flower guarding the gate here. Give him a Yellow Berry and he'll open the gate. There are thorny vines here, so be careful. Jump over the vines, then have Parakarry help you cross the larger gaps. There are many Crayzee Dayzees here, and rarely, you'll find an Amazy Dayzee. They are yellow and sparkly, and will try to run away from you. If you managed to engage them in battle, they have 20 HP, 20 attack power, and 1 defense power. Most of the time, they will runaway instead of attacking, so the attack power isn't much of a concern. If you want to challenge it at this point, equip badges that will give Mario powerful attacks. If Mario and his party member can do a total of 20 HP worth of damage on their first turns, you'll be okay. Otherwise, you'll have to get lucky and hope the Amazy Dayzee attacks instead of running away so you can attack again. It's worth it, though. Defeating the Amazy Dayzee will give you about 42 SP. This particular area is a great place to find them. To keep finding them, leave to the east and return until you see one to the left of the tree. It can also appear on the ledge to the left, but it's easier to deal with near the tree. Hit the tree for Blue Berries. To the right of the tree is a Star Piece hidden in the flowers. If you are in good shape in terms of health and flower points, you may battle the Dayzees on the ledge. There's a Super Block to the far left. I upgraded Bow. Go east.
There's a drained pool here. Drop down into the pool and get out using the stairs, then go east. There's another pool here, with a flower sitting at the bottom. Her name is Lily and she's throwing a pity party. The spring went dry because Huff N. Puff took the Water Stone. Water flows from this stone and fills the pool. She needs water to recover or else she'll wither. She hopes for a handsome prince to rescue her. She then sees Mario. She says to herself he looks more like a plumber than a prince, but won't be choosy. She asks him to retrieve the Water Stone. Hit the tree in the area for a Jammin' Jelly. Return to Wise Wisterwood, then go due west.
There's a blue flower here who'll open the gate if you give him a Blue Berry. You'll find Lakitus and Spinies here. The Spinies are the ones you'll have to deal with. They have 5 HP, 4 attack power and 3 defense power. Flip them to reduce their defense power to zero or use Watt's Electro Dash. They will roll up and slam Mario. They give 2 SP. While in the area, do not break the brick block near the spring. Have Watt reveal two invisible blocks, one of which is directly above the brick block. Use the spring to land on the invisible block after you hit it, then jump to the brick block. Hit the invisible block above it for a Shooting Star. Go west.
There are a couple of Lakitu here looking for something. They lost the Water Stone, which they need for the Puff Puff Machine. They notice Mario and start a fight. They have 12 HP and 3 attack power. They throw Spiny Eggs at Mario or onto the ground. The ones on the ground become Spinies. The Lakitu give 2 SP each. In the area is a hedge maze that can be tricky to navigate. You can walk around in the low hedges and pass through parts of the tall hedges. Your goal is to reach the pipe in the middle. To do so, enter the hedges, walk north, cut through the tall hedges and walk west until you're north of a section of low hedges that run due south. Go south through the tall hedges and then go east. You should be near the center pipe. Approach the center pipe from the east, going through the tall hedges. The pipe will take you to the west exit. Go back into the hedges from the west side to reach a brick block with many coins, then go west.
There's a flower here, a Rose Spirit named Rosie. She's upset that she's in full bloom and no one's there to admire her beauty. She shows off the Water Stone the Lakitu dropped. Mario wants the Water Stone badly. Mario explains the situation and Rosie is not sympathetic. The Water Stone is hers. She says Lily competes with her in beauty and wouldn't mind if Lily was gone. She will only part with it if Mario brings her something more beautiful.
Go back to Posie (southwest of Wise Wisterwood). Posie says Rosie's a little self-involved. Posie says her roots are connected to the roots of the Crystal Tree, so she can shake the roots to make a Crystal Berry appear, in an unladylike manner. Take the Crystal Berry to Rosie, who happily casts aside the ugly Water Stone. She says to let Lily know that it was she who saved her. Take the Water Stone to Lily and put it in the center of the pool. Water flows from the stone, filling the pool with water. Lily is happy and gives Mario the Miracle Water. She says to get the sun in the sky again. Go west and swim in the pool in this area with Sushie to reach the blue tree. Hit it to make Bubble Berries fall from it. Go back to Wise Wisterwood and save.
Where Wise Wisterwood is, there are six paths out of the area. Go due east first to find Petunia. You'll encounter Crayzee Dayzees, enemy flowers with 8 HP and 4 attack power. They will sing, which can hurt Mario or make him fall asleep. Guard when they're done singing, meaning when no more musical notes appear. They may run away if their HP gets low. They give 2 SP.

Paper Mario: Interlude After Chapter 5
In her castle, Peach tells Twink that she wants to sneak out again. Twink says she's become so bold, when he originally thought she was gentle and delicate. Peach emphasizes that she is delicate and is behaving just like the Ministers taught her. Hit the switch on the wall and you'll end up on the other side of the revolving door. Deposit any badges you have into the chest, then go downstairs, then to the door on the left.
A Koopatrol is on the other side of the door and immediately notices her. A Hammer Bro walks up, saying it isn't so bad if Peach wanders around because she can't escape from the castle. The Hammer Bro asks Peach to be the third member in the game they're about to play. He won't tell Bowser about her sneaking out if she participates.
The game they're about to play is the 64th Trivia Quiz-Off, brought to you by Koopa Korps. The host is Mr. Hammer. He'll ask 10 questions. Answer the most to win a fabulous prize. There is also a participation prize. If you have the answer, press (A). The questions are as follows:
1. What's the name of the boss inside the volcano on Lavalava Island? Lava Piranha
2. Where did Master Huff N. Puff imprison the Star Spirit? Flower Fields
3. What's the name of the scary round monster living in Dry Dry Ruins? Chomp
4. How would you get to Flower Fields? Pass Flower Gate
5. What's the name of the person who King Bowser really loves? Princess Peach
6. What thing is most deeply related to Flower Fields? Flower
7. What's the name of the most admirable, invincible, most downright cool guy around? Bowser (No, really, the answer is not Mario. Bowser's minions wrote the questions.)
8. What's the name for the ghosts who live in and around Forever Forest? Boo
9. What's the name of the area just to the south of the post office in Toad Town? The Flower Garden
10. Where is Peach's Castle now? On Bowser's Castle
Many of the questions are less than subtle hints about where Mario should go next. If Peach wins, she'll get a Jammin' Jelly, an item that restores 50 FP. Regardless of who wins, Peach will get the participation prize, the Sneaky Parasol. If Peach faces someone and press (B), Peach will transform into them. Mr. Hammer makes her promise not to use it to sneak out, as no one would know it's her. Bowser walks in, wanting to play the game. Peach tries to sneak out. Mr. Hammer breaks the news that the game is over. Bowser is disappointed, then surprised when he notices Peach in the room. He orders them to take her back to her room. The guards apologize when they pick her up.
Back on Lavalava Island, Misstar is thankful that they escaped the volcano safely. Kolorado is still upset about missing the treasure. Misstar chastises him, saying no treasure is more valuable than life. She also says that Lavalava Island was imperiled by Bowser's men's meddling. The eruption will subside and the island will be the same as before. She gives Mario more Star Energy and the new ability Smooch, which restores 20 HP. Misstar is thankful and wishes Mario success. She returns to Star Haven. Kolorado returns to Yoshi Village, dejected.
Go through the village to reach the jungle. Go west to reach the chest with the Volcano Vase, the treasure. Talk to the Bub-ulb and he'll tell you he gave the seed to Kolorado. Return to the village to give the Volcano Vase to Kolorado. He's joyful, calling Mario the "cat's meow". In return, he gives Mario the last Magical Seed and calls the trip a success. He now wants to return to Toad Town. Heal and save and make sure you have the Spiky Shield badge equipped. When you're ready, go and board the whale. He'll leave just as Jr. Troopa reaches Lavalava Island with a yell. He swam the whole way here. He still wants to beat Mario, but soon notices that Mario has already left. He swims after him.
When they reach Toad Town, Kolorado announces that he shall never again travel by tuna and he will be returning home. Jr. Troopa finally arrives, declaring that he will never swim again in his life. He wants to battle Mario once again. Because he is tuckered out from swimming, he loses half his HP, leaving him with 20 HP. He also has 6 attack power and 1 defense power. To make life difficult, he grows wings and has a spike on his head. Some party members can easily reach him, namely Watt, who's Electro Dash bypasses defenses. If you have the Spike Shield badge equipped, Mario can use jump attacks. Otherwise, use items or Star Powers. He'll attack with a dive kick. Once you defeat him, you'll get 22 SP. He then realizes that flying to and from the island wouldn't have reduced his HP and he might've defeated Mario.
When you try to leave the port, you'll see Goombaria and Goomama. Bring out Goombario and they'll tell him that they're proud of him. Leave the port and go to the train station to deliver a letter to Dane T. He has a letter for his uncle Frost T. in Starborn Valley. We'll deliver it later. Go to Russ T., the Toad who translated the Shy Guy's note, and deliver the letter. He'll give you a Star Piece. Go into the Toad Town Tunnels and go to the mansion. Deliver a letter to Igor, who runs the shop in the basement. He'll give you a Star Piece. Heal and save outside the mansion, then return to the tunnels.
Use Sushie to swim across the water east of the blue pipe that leads to the mansion. When you reach the other dock, Super Blooper will appear. It has 70 HP and 5 attack power. It can produce Blooper Babies or charge up, turning red in the process. The Blooper Babies have 6 HP each. When they appear, use a Shooting Star or Star Storm to get rid of them. You'll get 25 SP when you defeat it.
A switch will appear. Hit it to make the blue pipe to Lavalava Island appear. Go east in the tunnels. There are Dark Koopas here. Go east again and you'll see an area with some invisible blocks. Go through the pipe on the right to an empty room. Have Bombette blow up the right wall to find the hideout of Rip Cheato. He'll sell you mystery items for 64 coins each. Some are worth the deal, others are not (like Dried Shrooms). Go through the pipe in this room to reach the inside of the locked house in Toad Town. The key is in the upper left corner, so unlock the door to leave.
Koopa Koot has some more favors to ask of Mario. First, he lost his glasses somewhere in Koopa Village. They're in the shrub with the flower near the Toad House. Your reward is 1 coin. Next, he asks for a Lime. They can be found in the oasis in Dry Dry Desert. The reward is 3 Star Pieces. After that, he wants a Kooky Cookie. Have Tayce T. cook with a Koopa Leaf and a Cake Mix, then bring it back to him for 1 coin.
If you're feeling confident, you can try to take on the Master of the Dojo one more time. This time he has 99 HP, 10 attack power and 1 defense power. Equip the Zap Tap badge (obtained from Merlow), have Watt as your partner, and keep a Repel Gel on you. His attacks are very strong, and he can hit multiple times in a single attack for massive damage, unless the Zap Tap badge is equip. The badge will shock him, only allowing him to hit once (and it does a little damage). Have Watt power up Mario's attack, and use Electro Dash to get past his defense. Power Bounce works well. Be sure to heal when you need to. Smooch comes in handy here. Use the Repel Gel to dodge attacks for a few turns. Keep at it and you may defeat him. He'll say you've bested the strongest of fighters and award you the Diploma. Heal and save.
Near the Toad House, you'll find Kolorado. He says he can't go home because Kent C. Koopa is blocking Pleasant Path and charging a toll of 100 coins. He's a strong Koopa. Kolorado is going to look for a secret way into the village. Instead of telling him about the Toad Town Tunnels, go east to challenge him. He's a giant Koopa wearing glasses. Tell him twice that you want to fight and he'll battle you. He has 70 HP, 3 attack power, and 6 defense power. He'll slowly attack Mario and his partner with his shell, causing the partner to sit out a few turns if you don't successfully guard. He'll also stomp Mario with 10 attack power. He's difficult to beat unless you make him fall asleep. Sleepy Sheep or Lullaby will work. Then, flip him over on his shell and stomp his tail, his weak point. Once again, have Watt power up Mario, then use Electro Dash. Keep at it until you defeat him and get 20 SP. He says Mario must be really strong and runs away crying. Return to Toad Town, heal and save.
Across the road from the Toad House is the Flower Garden, tended to my Minh T. There are some Bub-ulbs here from Flower Fields, saying Flower Fields is in a state of despair due to Bowser's minions. Minh T. says to get to Flower Field, you need four kinds of seeds only Bub-ulbs have and you need to find them. We already have them, so hand them over so she can plant them. They bloom instantly. The archway in the middle lights up and flowers flow through it. A door appears and Mario can go through it to start the next chapter.
A Koopatrol is on the other side of the door and immediately notices her. A Hammer Bro walks up, saying it isn't so bad if Peach wanders around because she can't escape from the castle. The Hammer Bro asks Peach to be the third member in the game they're about to play. He won't tell Bowser about her sneaking out if she participates.
The game they're about to play is the 64th Trivia Quiz-Off, brought to you by Koopa Korps. The host is Mr. Hammer. He'll ask 10 questions. Answer the most to win a fabulous prize. There is also a participation prize. If you have the answer, press (A). The questions are as follows:
1. What's the name of the boss inside the volcano on Lavalava Island? Lava Piranha
2. Where did Master Huff N. Puff imprison the Star Spirit? Flower Fields
3. What's the name of the scary round monster living in Dry Dry Ruins? Chomp
4. How would you get to Flower Fields? Pass Flower Gate
5. What's the name of the person who King Bowser really loves? Princess Peach
6. What thing is most deeply related to Flower Fields? Flower
7. What's the name of the most admirable, invincible, most downright cool guy around? Bowser (No, really, the answer is not Mario. Bowser's minions wrote the questions.)
8. What's the name for the ghosts who live in and around Forever Forest? Boo
9. What's the name of the area just to the south of the post office in Toad Town? The Flower Garden
10. Where is Peach's Castle now? On Bowser's Castle
Many of the questions are less than subtle hints about where Mario should go next. If Peach wins, she'll get a Jammin' Jelly, an item that restores 50 FP. Regardless of who wins, Peach will get the participation prize, the Sneaky Parasol. If Peach faces someone and press (B), Peach will transform into them. Mr. Hammer makes her promise not to use it to sneak out, as no one would know it's her. Bowser walks in, wanting to play the game. Peach tries to sneak out. Mr. Hammer breaks the news that the game is over. Bowser is disappointed, then surprised when he notices Peach in the room. He orders them to take her back to her room. The guards apologize when they pick her up.
Back on Lavalava Island, Misstar is thankful that they escaped the volcano safely. Kolorado is still upset about missing the treasure. Misstar chastises him, saying no treasure is more valuable than life. She also says that Lavalava Island was imperiled by Bowser's men's meddling. The eruption will subside and the island will be the same as before. She gives Mario more Star Energy and the new ability Smooch, which restores 20 HP. Misstar is thankful and wishes Mario success. She returns to Star Haven. Kolorado returns to Yoshi Village, dejected.
Go through the village to reach the jungle. Go west to reach the chest with the Volcano Vase, the treasure. Talk to the Bub-ulb and he'll tell you he gave the seed to Kolorado. Return to the village to give the Volcano Vase to Kolorado. He's joyful, calling Mario the "cat's meow". In return, he gives Mario the last Magical Seed and calls the trip a success. He now wants to return to Toad Town. Heal and save and make sure you have the Spiky Shield badge equipped. When you're ready, go and board the whale. He'll leave just as Jr. Troopa reaches Lavalava Island with a yell. He swam the whole way here. He still wants to beat Mario, but soon notices that Mario has already left. He swims after him.
When they reach Toad Town, Kolorado announces that he shall never again travel by tuna and he will be returning home. Jr. Troopa finally arrives, declaring that he will never swim again in his life. He wants to battle Mario once again. Because he is tuckered out from swimming, he loses half his HP, leaving him with 20 HP. He also has 6 attack power and 1 defense power. To make life difficult, he grows wings and has a spike on his head. Some party members can easily reach him, namely Watt, who's Electro Dash bypasses defenses. If you have the Spike Shield badge equipped, Mario can use jump attacks. Otherwise, use items or Star Powers. He'll attack with a dive kick. Once you defeat him, you'll get 22 SP. He then realizes that flying to and from the island wouldn't have reduced his HP and he might've defeated Mario.
When you try to leave the port, you'll see Goombaria and Goomama. Bring out Goombario and they'll tell him that they're proud of him. Leave the port and go to the train station to deliver a letter to Dane T. He has a letter for his uncle Frost T. in Starborn Valley. We'll deliver it later. Go to Russ T., the Toad who translated the Shy Guy's note, and deliver the letter. He'll give you a Star Piece. Go into the Toad Town Tunnels and go to the mansion. Deliver a letter to Igor, who runs the shop in the basement. He'll give you a Star Piece. Heal and save outside the mansion, then return to the tunnels.
Use Sushie to swim across the water east of the blue pipe that leads to the mansion. When you reach the other dock, Super Blooper will appear. It has 70 HP and 5 attack power. It can produce Blooper Babies or charge up, turning red in the process. The Blooper Babies have 6 HP each. When they appear, use a Shooting Star or Star Storm to get rid of them. You'll get 25 SP when you defeat it.
A switch will appear. Hit it to make the blue pipe to Lavalava Island appear. Go east in the tunnels. There are Dark Koopas here. Go east again and you'll see an area with some invisible blocks. Go through the pipe on the right to an empty room. Have Bombette blow up the right wall to find the hideout of Rip Cheato. He'll sell you mystery items for 64 coins each. Some are worth the deal, others are not (like Dried Shrooms). Go through the pipe in this room to reach the inside of the locked house in Toad Town. The key is in the upper left corner, so unlock the door to leave.
Koopa Koot has some more favors to ask of Mario. First, he lost his glasses somewhere in Koopa Village. They're in the shrub with the flower near the Toad House. Your reward is 1 coin. Next, he asks for a Lime. They can be found in the oasis in Dry Dry Desert. The reward is 3 Star Pieces. After that, he wants a Kooky Cookie. Have Tayce T. cook with a Koopa Leaf and a Cake Mix, then bring it back to him for 1 coin.
If you're feeling confident, you can try to take on the Master of the Dojo one more time. This time he has 99 HP, 10 attack power and 1 defense power. Equip the Zap Tap badge (obtained from Merlow), have Watt as your partner, and keep a Repel Gel on you. His attacks are very strong, and he can hit multiple times in a single attack for massive damage, unless the Zap Tap badge is equip. The badge will shock him, only allowing him to hit once (and it does a little damage). Have Watt power up Mario's attack, and use Electro Dash to get past his defense. Power Bounce works well. Be sure to heal when you need to. Smooch comes in handy here. Use the Repel Gel to dodge attacks for a few turns. Keep at it and you may defeat him. He'll say you've bested the strongest of fighters and award you the Diploma. Heal and save.
Near the Toad House, you'll find Kolorado. He says he can't go home because Kent C. Koopa is blocking Pleasant Path and charging a toll of 100 coins. He's a strong Koopa. Kolorado is going to look for a secret way into the village. Instead of telling him about the Toad Town Tunnels, go east to challenge him. He's a giant Koopa wearing glasses. Tell him twice that you want to fight and he'll battle you. He has 70 HP, 3 attack power, and 6 defense power. He'll slowly attack Mario and his partner with his shell, causing the partner to sit out a few turns if you don't successfully guard. He'll also stomp Mario with 10 attack power. He's difficult to beat unless you make him fall asleep. Sleepy Sheep or Lullaby will work. Then, flip him over on his shell and stomp his tail, his weak point. Once again, have Watt power up Mario, then use Electro Dash. Keep at it until you defeat him and get 20 SP. He says Mario must be really strong and runs away crying. Return to Toad Town, heal and save.
Across the road from the Toad House is the Flower Garden, tended to my Minh T. There are some Bub-ulbs here from Flower Fields, saying Flower Fields is in a state of despair due to Bowser's minions. Minh T. says to get to Flower Field, you need four kinds of seeds only Bub-ulbs have and you need to find them. We already have them, so hand them over so she can plant them. They bloom instantly. The archway in the middle lights up and flowers flow through it. A door appears and Mario can go through it to start the next chapter.

Paper Mario: Chapter 5 -- Hot Hot Times on Lavalava Island -- Part 2
Once Mario enters the volcano, a Piranha Plant sees him and sounds the alarm. He leaves to alert the boss. Go east at the bottom of the slope. Kolorado is here and says he senses danger. He jumps on a nearby rock that starts sinking, but he doesn't get off the rock. The lava burns him and he decides to follow Mario's lead. Jump on the rocks quickly to keep them from sinking. The large rock ahead won't sink. Wait a while and a rock will appear. Jump on it and it will take you to another rock. Equip the Ice Power badge now. There are Lava Bubbles here. They have 9 HP and 4 attack power. They can attack your party member, rendering them unable to attack. Use ice or water attacks for extra damage. They give 2 SP. Once on the other side, equip the Spiky Shield badge and go east.
There is a zipline here. You can drop off at any time by pressing (A). Doing so with good timing will allow you to reach certain things. You'll find Spike Tops in the area. They have 4 HP, 3 attack power, 4 defense power, and give 2 SP. You can flip them over to reduce their defense. Like Buzzy Beetles, fire attacks have no effect on them. Use Watt's Electro Dash to get rid of them quickly. While wandering around, use Kooper to get a POW Block. Go east and you'll find some fire bars. Past them is a Super Block. I upgraded Sushie to Ultra Rank. Return to the previous area and drop down to a Save Block. There's a zipline here as well. Drop down with good timing to reach the Fire Shield badge. Equip this one as well if you can. Drop down and go west.
You'll be in a long tunnel with gas near the ceiling. Don't worry about the gas, just follow the tunnel. Go west. Near the entrance to the tunnel is an invisible block with a Life Shroom. In the middle of the room is a river of lava. Use Parakarry to cross the river at the top. There are three blue blocks here. Push them into the river to form a bridge and staunch some of the lava's flow. Cross the bridge, drop down and cross the narrower channel of lava. Go west. There's another river of lava and two blue blocks nearby. Push the blocks into the lava so they form a line partway across the lava. Stand on the farthest block and have Parakarry carry you across. There are more Lava Bubbles here. They may be accompanied by Red Magikoopas. They have 11 HP and 3 attack power. They can also charge up their allies' attack or run away from battle. Deal with them quickly. Go up the stairs and drop down to reach a large chest. This contains the Ultra Hammer, which powers up Mario's attack and allows Mario to break metal blocks. There's a metal block nearby so you can try it out.
Go back to where the Save Block is and break the metal block so you can go east of the Save Block. Kolorado is here, saying the treasure is on the other side of the block. To the east is a zipline. Kolorado fails to use it and runs off the ledge. Take the zipline almost to the end before dropping down to find an upgrade block. I upgraded Watt. When you head back to the zipline, you'll see Kolorado flailing about on his shell. He says he's investigating the floor more closely. Take the zipline to the end to go east. A rolling spiked rock will chase you down the tunnel.
Once you exit the tunnel, cross the lava, dodge the fire bars, and go east. There's another spiky rock at the top of some stairs with metal blocks. You can't reach the metal blocks, so walk far to the right. Kolorado says that the treasure should be nearby, but they must go farther. There's a blue block here, so push it all the way back to where the metal blocks are. Use this to reach and break the metal blocks. Once all of them are gone, the spiky rock will start rolling. Run out of the way to where Kolorado is. The spiky rock will hit Kolorado before breaking a hole in the wall. Go east.
There's a Heal Block here and a Save Block below. Go due east from the Heal Block (without dropping down) and you'll find item blocks with a Super Shroom and a Maple Syrup, but no treasure. Return and save, then walk due east from the Save Block. The Piranha Plant from before appears, saying that Mario is still here and he's searching for the Star Spirit. It leaves to report to the boss. Go east to the lava pool.
The boss appears. It's Lava Piranha. He says Mario and his partners are the bad guys, here to steal the Star Spirit. Mario will get hurt before it lets that happen. Lava Piranha got to control the volcano in exchange for trapping the Star Spirit. The battle starts. Lava Piranha has 40 HP, 5 attack power and breathes fire, but slowly. It has two Lava Buds, each with 8 HP and 4 attack power. They breathe fire or seeds at Mario. They will wilt when they run out of HP, but can be regenerated. Stomp on it and use attacks like Electro Dash, Power Bounce, and Smack to deal with the Lava Piranha. You'll also want to get rid of the Lava Buds so they can't attack you. Once Lava Piranha runs out of HP, it will fall into the lava and 15 Star Points will appear. Lava Piranha will be reborn, but this time with fire, with the same amount of HP. After you get in one attack, Kolorado rushes in to save the day, but falls in the lava, saying he can't do anything more to help. This is Sushie's time to shine! If she's Ultra Rank, she gets an attack called Tidal Wave. Press the buttons that appear on screen quickly and she'll swim around and fill the battlefield with water. This will do a lot of damage to Lava Piranha and get rid of the Lava Buds. Attacking with Snowman Dolls or with the Ice Power badge equipped will make this part of the fight fairly easy. Once you defeat Lava Piranha for a second time, you'll get 30 Star Points.
After the battle, Kolorado says there's nothing between them and the treasure. He runs off to the east. The Star Spirit's card appears from the lava.
End of Chapter
Venturing deep into the steaming Mt. Lavalava, Mario and friends plucked the Lava Piranha... and rescued the fifth Star Spirit, Misstar from a fiery fate. But the "treasure" Kolorado is looking for is yet to be found. Wherever could it be? What's that...? Something... strange... is going on around here...
Back in the volcano, the ground is shaking. Misstar says they should get out of the volcano, so head east. Kolorado is complaining that he can't find the treasure. Go upstairs and Kolorado will join you. He thinks Misstar might be the treasure, or some sort of starfish. He's still looking because the adventure's not over until the treasure is found. He thinks the Lava Piranha had it, so he tries to go back, The ground starts shaking violently and he dismisses it as kids playing with fireworks. He then notices that the lava is rising. Misstar says the volcano will erupt soon, so they can't go back and must leave another way. She feels a breeze come through a crack in the wall. Use Bombette to break the wall. Go through the wall and you'll see a chest on a pillar Kolorado can't reach. He says he'll risk his life to get it. Misstar picks everyone up and takes them out of the volcano. The volcano erupts and the treasure flies out, landing in the jungle near the Bub-ulb.
There is a zipline here. You can drop off at any time by pressing (A). Doing so with good timing will allow you to reach certain things. You'll find Spike Tops in the area.

Paper Mario: Chapter 5 -- Hot Hot Times on Lavalava Island -- Part 1
The whale ferries Mario and Kolorado across the sea and eventually reaches Lavalava Island. Kolorado sees Mt. Lavalava off in the distance and runs off. There's a Stopwatch behind a shrub. You'll find small ferns on the island that give Mario hearts when he touches them. They're called Heart Plants. There are blue Spinning Flowers on this island Mario can stand on and float in the air. Press [Z] repeatedly to float higher. In this area, you can reach coins this way.
Go southeast. Hit the coconut tree for a Coconut. You can throw these at enemies with 1 attack power. Up ahead is a Fuzzy attacking Kolorado. It's a Jungle Fuzzy. Jungle Fuzzies have 7 HP and give 2 SP. They have 2 attack power and will keep attacking and draining HP until the action command is performed. This means you have to repeatedly press (A) until the meter is filled. Save Kolorado and he runs off again. There's a letter on the nearby rock. It's addressed to Igor, the shopkeeper in the mansion in Forever Forest. Go east to Yoshi Village.
The village is full of Yoshis going about their lives. Talk to the Yoshi Kids and you'll find they're up to something. Sushie, the purple Cheep-Cheep will stop them, as she is in charge of keeping an eye on them. Talk to the red Yoshi Kid with Parakarry to deliver Dane T.'s letter. He has a letter in response. Heal in the Toad House if you need to and save, then go east into the jungle.
There's a cry for help once you enter the jungle. It's Kolorado getting himself into trouble again. He's being attacked by a Spear Guy. Spear Guys have 7 HP, 3 attack power, and give 2 SP. They'll either point their spear at Mario or up in the air. Do not attack them with the hammer when the spear is pointed at Mario or you'll take damage. They will stab Mario with the spear or throw the spear at him. After throwing the spear, they become normal Shy Guys. Once you save Kolorado, he runs to the right, where you can see the entrance to the volcano. Unfortunately, it's blocked by a river of lava. He decides to return to the village for clues, but not before a false alarm call for help as a joke.
In Yoshi Village, the Yoshis are panicking. The Yoshis will tell you that the Yoshi Kids went missing, probably into the dangerous jungle. They aren't thinking straight, so they're not much help. Talk to the chief, the one wearing the feather. He'll try to calm the other Yoshis down and asks Mario to help find them. Go northwest of the item shop to enter the jungle.
Check the nearby shrubs to make them part. There are a lot of dangerous enemies here, many of which are disguised as plants. Avoid checking out the shrubs that are blue in color. These are M. Bushes, sneaky enemies with 8 HP and 3 attack power. They have a poisonous bite and give 2 SP. Hurt Plants look like Heart Plants, but you can't tell them apart until you touch them. They have 8 HP, 2 attack power and give 2 SP. Their bite is also poisonous. Go east.
Sushie calls out to the Yoshi Kids. Cross the log bridge to the island and you'll see Sushie in a tree. Hit the tree with the hammer multiple times. She's thankful for the help. She fell into the Yoshi Kids' trap. Sushie says the jungle is dangerous for Mario as well. Mario explains that he's helping to find the Yoshi Kids and Sushie wants to team up and join the party. If you stand on docks, she can swim with her. Press the same button to dive. She has a jump attack called Belly Flop and can spray water with Squirt. Use her power to reach a Star Piece. On the same island, hit the tree for a letter. There's a Bub-ulb on the island, but he says the seed is not ready yet. Go west.
There's a Spear Guy on an island with a badge block. The badge is the Power Quake badge. Go west while swimming and you'll reach an island with a Spear Guy and a Super Block. Upgrade Sushie. Swim to the other dock in the area and you'll here crying. Part the shrubs, battle the M. Bush, then check the shrub behind it to find the red Yoshi Kid. He's scared because they were playing hide-and-seek, but the M. Bush trapped him here. He's sorry he disobeyed Sushie and heads home. If you go southwest, there's a shortcut to the beach where the whale is waiting.
Go north and part the shrubs. There's a coin over plant. Ignore the plant as it will hurt you. Hit the tree for a Fright Jar. Go west while swimming. Dive down into the water for a Star Piece. Get on land and hit the log to make a bridge appear. Cross the bridge and talk to the blue Yoshi Kid. He was "it" in the game, but he couldn't find anyone and got lost. He asks Mario to be "it" and find everyone because he's going home. Don't hit the tree unless you want to battle a Jungle Fuzzy. Return to the previous area and go east.
Hammer another log to make a bridge. There's a statue of a raven here. Go to the south dock and go south. The purple Yoshi Kid is sleeping in a tree. Use a hammer to knock him out of the tree. He took a nap in the jungle and thinks it's not so bad, but he's lonely. Make another bridge, which will take you to the village. Return to the area with the raven statue and go east. The yellow Yoshi Kid is being attacked by Putrid Piranhas. They have 12 HP, 3 attack power, and give 2 SP. They can bite Mario or try to poison him with their poison breath. Beat them and the yellow Yoshi Kid is thankful and sorry. Return to the area with the statue.
Near the entrance to the jungle is an island with a high wall and a blue Spinning Flower. Use it to reach the top, where a Spear Guy is. Part the shrubs to reveal a pipe. The pipe takes you into a dark cave. Use Watt to see so you can reach the green Yoshi Kid. He was spinning on the Spinning Flower and ended up in here. He couldn't find a way out. Now that all give Yoshi Kids have been saved, return to the village.
Talk to the chief Yoshi near the raven statue on an island in the village. He's thankful Mario saved the Yoshi Kids and no expression of gratitude is enough. Kolorado told him that they wanted to go to Mt. Lavalaava. He says he'll show them the way and gives Mario the Jade Raven. The Yoshis ask Raphael the Raven, the island's master, for help. He lives in the depths of the jungle. To find him, they must place the Jade Raven into Raphael's statue, but it's difficult to find. Sushie wonders why Mario is going to such a dangerous place as Mt. Lavalava and doesn't approve of it. Mario explains and she's touched by the romantic story of saving Peach. She'll stick with him, as she loves taking care of others and Mario will need her help.
Go northwest into the jungle, cross the split log bridge, then north again. This will take you to the statue, which is on the north side. Place the Jade Raven into the statue and it moves, revealing a path to the north. There are several trees with vines here. Pull on the vine of the far left tree for an Egg and the one near a pink flower reveals the path to the north. There are blue blocks and a water spout. Push the blocks over the water spout to make it appear somewhere else. Once you cover all of the holes in the ground, the water spout pushes a giant rock out of the way, revealing a path to the north. Plug up that water spout so you can continue. Once again, you'll find more vines. They make a Fire Flower, a Mushroom, and Fuzzies appear, as well as the path to the north.
In this area, you'll hear someone laugh. There are three Putrid Piranhas here and they're joined by a white Magikoopa. The Magikoopa has 11 HP, 3 attack power, and gives 5 SP. It can heal other enemies, so deal with it first. Defeat all of them for 11 SP, then go east.
You'll see a giant tree. Go through the doorway and save. Go up the stairs, which lead to a door. On the outside, climb up the vine circling the tree to the very top. You'll find the Happy Heart badge here. Partway up the tree is a doorway back inside. Take the stairs up to the top of the tree. There's a giant Raven in the nest that talks like he's on a CB radio. His call sign is Raphael the Raven. It's been a while since anyone came. Mario explains the situation and Raphael says he knew Mario was coming, due to a message from the stars. He'll give Mario something later. He caws for Ravens and they drop in. He explains the situation to them and they all jump off the tree. Follow suit and jump off the tree as well. Raphael raises the tree root so they can go east.
The Ravens are working on a tree. Kolorado appears. The Ravens build a zipline to the volcano and a basket to reach the tree where the zipline is. Kolorado goes first. Raphael calls him bold and certifiably nuts. The item Raphael mentioned earlier is the Ultra Stone, which can upgrade any Super Ranked party member to Ultra Rank, increasing their attack power and giving them another attack. He says ranking up party members is the key to success, as a Star Spirit told him in a dream. Take the basket to the zipline and use that to reach the volcano's entrance, where there is a Heal Block. Go inside.
Go southeast. Hit the coconut tree for a Coconut. You can throw these at enemies with 1 attack power. Up ahead is a Fuzzy attacking Kolorado. It's a Jungle Fuzzy. Jungle Fuzzies have 7 HP and give 2 SP. They have 2 attack power and will keep attacking and draining HP until the action command is performed. This means you have to repeatedly press (A) until the meter is filled. Save Kolorado and he runs off again. There's a letter on the nearby rock. It's addressed to Igor, the shopkeeper in the mansion in Forever Forest. Go east to Yoshi Village.
The village is full of Yoshis going about their lives. Talk to the Yoshi Kids and you'll find they're up to something. Sushie, the purple Cheep-Cheep will stop them, as she is in charge of keeping an eye on them. Talk to the red Yoshi Kid with Parakarry to deliver Dane T.'s letter. He has a letter in response. Heal in the Toad House if you need to and save, then go east into the jungle.
There's a cry for help once you enter the jungle. It's Kolorado getting himself into trouble again. He's being attacked by a Spear Guy. Spear Guys have 7 HP, 3 attack power, and give 2 SP. They'll either point their spear at Mario or up in the air. Do not attack them with the hammer when the spear is pointed at Mario or you'll take damage. They will stab Mario with the spear or throw the spear at him. After throwing the spear, they become normal Shy Guys. Once you save Kolorado, he runs to the right, where you can see the entrance to the volcano. Unfortunately, it's blocked by a river of lava. He decides to return to the village for clues, but not before a false alarm call for help as a joke.
In Yoshi Village, the Yoshis are panicking. The Yoshis will tell you that the Yoshi Kids went missing, probably into the dangerous jungle. They aren't thinking straight, so they're not much help. Talk to the chief, the one wearing the feather. He'll try to calm the other Yoshis down and asks Mario to help find them. Go northwest of the item shop to enter the jungle.
Check the nearby shrubs to make them part. There are a lot of dangerous enemies here, many of which are disguised as plants. Avoid checking out the shrubs that are blue in color. These are M. Bushes, sneaky enemies with 8 HP and 3 attack power. They have a poisonous bite and give 2 SP. Hurt Plants look like Heart Plants, but you can't tell them apart until you touch them. They have 8 HP, 2 attack power and give 2 SP. Their bite is also poisonous. Go east.
Sushie calls out to the Yoshi Kids. Cross the log bridge to the island and you'll see Sushie in a tree. Hit the tree with the hammer multiple times. She's thankful for the help. She fell into the Yoshi Kids' trap. Sushie says the jungle is dangerous for Mario as well. Mario explains that he's helping to find the Yoshi Kids and Sushie wants to team up and join the party. If you stand on docks, she can swim with her. Press the same button to dive. She has a jump attack called Belly Flop and can spray water with Squirt. Use her power to reach a Star Piece. On the same island, hit the tree for a letter. There's a Bub-ulb on the island, but he says the seed is not ready yet. Go west.
There's a Spear Guy on an island with a badge block. The badge is the Power Quake badge. Go west while swimming and you'll reach an island with a Spear Guy and a Super Block. Upgrade Sushie. Swim to the other dock in the area and you'll here crying. Part the shrubs, battle the M. Bush, then check the shrub behind it to find the red Yoshi Kid. He's scared because they were playing hide-and-seek, but the M. Bush trapped him here. He's sorry he disobeyed Sushie and heads home. If you go southwest, there's a shortcut to the beach where the whale is waiting.
Go north and part the shrubs. There's a coin over plant. Ignore the plant as it will hurt you. Hit the tree for a Fright Jar. Go west while swimming. Dive down into the water for a Star Piece. Get on land and hit the log to make a bridge appear. Cross the bridge and talk to the blue Yoshi Kid. He was "it" in the game, but he couldn't find anyone and got lost. He asks Mario to be "it" and find everyone because he's going home. Don't hit the tree unless you want to battle a Jungle Fuzzy. Return to the previous area and go east.
Hammer another log to make a bridge. There's a statue of a raven here. Go to the south dock and go south. The purple Yoshi Kid is sleeping in a tree. Use a hammer to knock him out of the tree. He took a nap in the jungle and thinks it's not so bad, but he's lonely. Make another bridge, which will take you to the village. Return to the area with the raven statue and go east. The yellow Yoshi Kid is being attacked by Putrid Piranhas. They have 12 HP, 3 attack power, and give 2 SP. They can bite Mario or try to poison him with their poison breath. Beat them and the yellow Yoshi Kid is thankful and sorry. Return to the area with the statue.
Near the entrance to the jungle is an island with a high wall and a blue Spinning Flower. Use it to reach the top, where a Spear Guy is. Part the shrubs to reveal a pipe. The pipe takes you into a dark cave. Use Watt to see so you can reach the green Yoshi Kid. He was spinning on the Spinning Flower and ended up in here. He couldn't find a way out. Now that all give Yoshi Kids have been saved, return to the village.
Talk to the chief Yoshi near the raven statue on an island in the village. He's thankful Mario saved the Yoshi Kids and no expression of gratitude is enough. Kolorado told him that they wanted to go to Mt. Lavalaava. He says he'll show them the way and gives Mario the Jade Raven. The Yoshis ask Raphael the Raven, the island's master, for help. He lives in the depths of the jungle. To find him, they must place the Jade Raven into Raphael's statue, but it's difficult to find. Sushie wonders why Mario is going to such a dangerous place as Mt. Lavalava and doesn't approve of it. Mario explains and she's touched by the romantic story of saving Peach. She'll stick with him, as she loves taking care of others and Mario will need her help.
Go northwest into the jungle, cross the split log bridge, then north again. This will take you to the statue, which is on the north side. Place the Jade Raven into the statue and it moves, revealing a path to the north. There are several trees with vines here. Pull on the vine of the far left tree for an Egg and the one near a pink flower reveals the path to the north. There are blue blocks and a water spout. Push the blocks over the water spout to make it appear somewhere else. Once you cover all of the holes in the ground, the water spout pushes a giant rock out of the way, revealing a path to the north. Plug up that water spout so you can continue. Once again, you'll find more vines. They make a Fire Flower, a Mushroom, and Fuzzies appear, as well as the path to the north.
In this area, you'll hear someone laugh. There are three Putrid Piranhas here and they're joined by a white Magikoopa. The Magikoopa has 11 HP, 3 attack power, and gives 5 SP. It can heal other enemies, so deal with it first. Defeat all of them for 11 SP, then go east.
You'll see a giant tree. Go through the doorway and save. Go up the stairs, which lead to a door. On the outside, climb up the vine circling the tree to the very top. You'll find the Happy Heart badge here. Partway up the tree is a doorway back inside. Take the stairs up to the top of the tree. There's a giant Raven in the nest that talks like he's on a CB radio. His call sign is Raphael the Raven. It's been a while since anyone came. Mario explains the situation and Raphael says he knew Mario was coming, due to a message from the stars. He'll give Mario something later. He caws for Ravens and they drop in. He explains the situation to them and they all jump off the tree. Follow suit and jump off the tree as well. Raphael raises the tree root so they can go east.
The Ravens are working on a tree. Kolorado appears. The Ravens build a zipline to the volcano and a basket to reach the tree where the zipline is. Kolorado goes first. Raphael calls him bold and certifiably nuts. The item Raphael mentioned earlier is the Ultra Stone, which can upgrade any Super Ranked party member to Ultra Rank, increasing their attack power and giving them another attack. He says ranking up party members is the key to success, as a Star Spirit told him in a dream. Take the basket to the zipline and use that to reach the volcano's entrance, where there is a Heal Block. Go inside.
