Super Paper Mario -- Chapter 6-1

After you defeat Dimentio and The Void closes, you can return to Flipside. Merlon will find the heroes on the towers. Merlon calls their victory a roaring success, but he’s still worried about Tippi being gone for so long. Magical events transpired and all towns are safe. He thanks the heroes and asks if they’ve heard from Tippi. No one has seen her, but he feels that she’s alive and happy. He knows there are many people the heroes wish to see, so he’ll be in his house if they want to talk to him.

After The Void closes, there’s one more trial you can do. For it, I recommend gathering as many Ultra Shroom Shakes as you can carry. There are more powerful healing items out there, but they may be more of a hassle to obtain. The remaining items you should carry are Life Shrooms and other healing items. Emergency Rations only heal 10 HP where we’re going. For my inventory, I had the following: 3 Ultra Shroom Shakes, 4 Life Shrooms, 1 Super Shroom Shake, and 2 Emergency Rations. I am level 29. When you’re ready, go through the door to Chapter 6.

We now enter the newly restored Sammer Kingdom. We can now complete the Sammer Challenge that was cut short. Go to the first gate and Jade Blooper will challenge you to the Duel of 100. He says you’ll lose your progress if you leave before the end of the 100^th fight. My initial strategy is to use Bowser to breathe fire, Barry to repel enemies (if you use Barry at the top of their jump, they’ll take damage. He can also reflect shockwaves and energy balls.), Carrie to stomp some spiked enemies, and Mario when the enemy jumps, or uses shockwaves or energy balls. This is so you can flip to dodge their attacks. You can also flip, move to a corner, then flip back and change to Bowser and use his fire breath. You can also back the Sammer Guys into a corner if they don’t jump. Push them off the edge of the stage and just breathe fire and you may eventually hit them.

1.      Jade Blooper- normal with a sword

2.      Hill with Eyes- normal with a sword

3.      Puffing Fist- normal with a sword

4.      Squatting Birdo- normal with a mace

5.      Leeping Cheep- normal with a spike and a sword

6.      Master Wiggler- normal with a sword

7.      Shoe of Kuribo- normal with a mace

8.      Guy Who Fry- normal with a sword. He jumps.

9.      Screaming Mantiss- normal with a mace

10.  Koopa in Winter- large with a club. He rolls.

11.  Footsteps of Coins- normal with a spike and a sword

12.  Urchin Lung- normal with a sword

13.  Crow Who Eats- normal with a sword. He can use shockwaves.

14.  Swollen Tongue- normal with a spike and a sword.

15.  Slipping Grip- normal with a sword. He jumps.

16.  Clammy Hand- normal with a sword. He also jumps.

17.  Forbidden Slap- normal with a sword. He jumps as well.

18.  Hairy Arantula in the Grass- tiny with a sword. He’s very fast.

19.  Another Castle- normal with a mace. He jumps.

20.  Rolling Thwomp- large with a club. He rolls.

21.  Thrashing Prawn- normal with a spike and a sword. He uses shockwaves.

22.  Thousand-Year Roar- normal with a sword. He jumps.

23.  Unshy Guy- normal with a spike and a mace

24.  Useless Badge- normal with a mace

25.  Sunshine Flood- normal with a spike and sword. He is shiny and uses shockwaves.

After this battle, you’ll find the star on the right side of the gate. You can now save.

Super Paper Mario -- Chapter 8-4: Tippi and Count Bleck

A frigid wind blew through the dim and draft corridors of Castle Bleck. Bowser, Peach... and even brave Luigi were gone. Mario was the only hero left. It was up to Mario to stop the dark prophecy. Every world hung in the balance. What thrilling conclusion awaited our hero? Mario ran to the count's inner sanctum, his mustache fluttering in the breeze...

Tippi says it's just her and Mario now, which reminds her of the time they first met. She apologizes, saying she promised to help Mario find his friends, who are now gone forever. Mario disagrees. Tippi thinks he may be right that they survived. They are heroes and she's going to believe in them, and HIM most of all.

In Castle Bleck's Inner Sanctum, you'll find Coptas, Poison Pokeys, and Cursyas. You'll also find some Mushrooms in item blocks. Go through the door and you'll find Magiblots and no way out. Use Tippi's power to find a hidden door. In this room, you'll find rising platforms, along with Parabuzzies and Spiky Parabuzzies. You'll come to a dead end. Flip to find a path around the tall platforms, then go through the door.

There are infinite platforms in this room. In the middle of the room, when you reach solid ground, flip to find a pipe. Flip and use Dottie to shrink to pass through a tiny hole in the wall. This leads to a chest with a key. Return to the infinite platforms to unlock the door. The door leads to a room with many Mega Muths, with 200 HP and 8 attack. Some of them are in 3D.

Go through the door and you'll find a hallway that dead-ends. Flip and you'll see several doorways to your right and left. These lead to different hallways, some with items and most with enemies. From the door, go right four times to find a chest with a Shooting Star. From the door, go left once to find a door.

From the door, take the first right to find a chest with a Super Shroom Shake. To reach the next door, from the door, go left three times. In the next set of hallways, take the first right, then the second right, then walk backwards to take the first right to find a chest with an Ultra Shroom Shake. Go through the first right to reach a door. The door leads to some stairs with an Ultra Shroom in an item block and a Save Block. When you're ready, go through the door.

Tippi feels something powerful on the other side of the door and she thinks it may be the Chaos Heart. Count Bleck and Nastasia are here. "Bleh heh heh heh heh... I see you've come at last! So you really are the hero of the Light Prognosticus. But you are far too late to stop the Dark Prognosticus and me... Count Bleck! All worlds will soon end. Come to grips with that now, for you cannot stop it. I suggest you make yourself comfortable and enjoy this one, final spectacle!" Tippi asks why he wants to destroy everything and how could he do this. "Count Bleck does not care about any world! They are all meaningless. Better that I destroy them! Better yet, I shall make it as if they never existed at all!" Tippi asks Blumiere if their meeting was meaningless as well. "You know the answer, dear Timpani... Count Bleck does not have to tell you... But the hour has grown too late. You should know that by now." Tippi knows the only want to stop this is to defeat him, which is why she and Mario are here. "BLEH HEH HEH HEH! BLECK! Very well! But I will also do what I must! Count Bleck is the deleter of worlds! My fate is written in the Dark Prognosticus. Do not think for a moment that I will hesistate to strike you down. ALL NOW ENDS! Leave me, Nastasia! I will deal with these two ALONE." Nastasia tries to object, but he says, "Count Bleck demands it! I will not say it again." Nastasia leaves and he continues, "Are you prepared, hero? Our duel will be worthy of the last clash the world will ever see!"

Count Bleck has 150 HP and 8 attack. He shoots out blasts of dark energy. He's also invincible, guarded by a shield of the Chaos Heart. "How laughable! Is that all the heroism you can muster? Let me show you true power! You can't so much as tug on the cape of Count Bleck! You have failed! Bleck! I expected more potency from the hero of the prophecy! I will watch your game end, and then your precious worlds will end soon after!" He prepares a huge energy blast. Tippi wonders if this is the end. Someone asks if they're giving up already? It's Bowser, telling Mario to man up, as he never gives up this easily when he attacks his castle. "Bleh heh heh heh heh heh... So you ARE alive, then!" Peach and Luigi show up. Peach says they'll never let him destroy everything. Luigi says they won't let him get away with this and that they're not giving up. Count Bleck will never win. Tippi asks how they got here. Bowser fell through the floor before the ceiling could crush him. Peach landed on Bowser, which was a surprisingly soft landing. Luigi doesn't know what happened, but Peach found him unconscious. He's ready to defeat Count Bleck. Bowser says Count Bleck will have to deal with all of them.

"Bleh heh heh heh heh heh... 'When the four heroes are united...' It is all as foretold." Light flashes. "What... What's this?" The heroes start glowing. Peach asks what's happening to Count Bleck. Pure Hearts appear around him and shatter the Chaos Heart's barrier. "Bleh heh heh heh... huh?! My barrier... is gone?!" Tippi quotes Merlee, saying, "Four heroes unite, their hope burns forth light to shatter the walls of blight." "So be it... says Count Bleck! But don't celebrate just yet. Your precious worlds aren't safe until my last breath! Let us finally end this! Now the true battle beings... with Count Bleck!"

You can now damage Count Bleck and select from the four heroes. Count Bleck likes to move around and flip to change his location. Hop on the platforms to reach him. You'll want to stomp him, then get out of the area to avoid any attacks he has up his sleeve. He can summon a black hole that will slow you down and do a lot of damage if you get caught up in it. Run away from it until it goes away.

When you defeat him, he says, "BLEHHHH!" The Chaos Heart disappears, then reappears near the floor. Count Bleck appears near it, looking worn out. "Ex... Excellent..." Nastasia appears near the count. He says, "You have won... Now finish Count Bleck. Dispatch me and the Chaos Heart will disappear. The prophecy will be undone..." Tippi asks why it has to end like this. "Timpani... when you vanished, I searched long for you. I never gave up looking... I searched and searched... But I never found you. Without you, the world had no meaning or joy... So I used the forbidden prophecy of the Tribe of the Ancients to end all worlds. I wanted to destroy everything that had taken you away from me..." Tippi says that she's here now and none can keep them apart anymore. "It is too late. Count Bleck has done so much evil... It must end. Just knowing that you are still alive... And knowing that the world you still live in will continue... It gives me peace. I do not have long to live. You must end my game before The Void destroys all..." Tippi protests that they're together again.

Nastasia looks shocked and tells Count Bleck to look out. She's hit by a familiar-looking blast. "Na-Nastasia!" Someone calls her a silly assistant for absorbing the attack to protect the count. They call it an adorably hopeless gesture. It's Dimentio, saying he was about to give the count the everlasting peace he desperately wants. Tippi is shocked that Dimentio's alive. He says this is his moment. Even if the count dies, the Chaos Heart won't disappear if he continues to control it. He needed the Pure Hearts to beat Count Bleck, something he couldn't do on his own. Instead, he has the heroes do all the sweaty labor for him and they even used up the Pure Hearts to defeat the count. If they make greeting cards to thank people for helping with evil plans, he owes them one. Now, none of them hold any value, so he's ending their games. He tells Mr. L that they're all his. He snaps his fingers and Luigi starts flapping his arms against his control. A sprout appears on his head and he says, "I AM MR. L! Master Dimentio, what is your bidding?" Dimentio explains he sent Luigi here after planning a seed in his unconscious, which has now sprouted. He sends Luigi off to prepare for his big entrance. Dimentio takes the Chaos Heart, saying, "Get ready for the greatest magic show you'll ever see!" Both are absorbed into the darkness. Someone says "GREEEEEEN!" Something gigantic appears with Luigi's head and feet and Dimentio's torso. Dimentio explains that the Dark Prognosticus says Luigi's the ideal host for the Chaos Heart and he added his own power to the concoction. "No... Stop!" says Count Bleck. Dimentio makes Count Bleck, Tippi, and Nastasia disappear, saying he'll squeeze the life out of them later. He tells them to wait in the dimension he sent them to. He enters the robot, saying the Chaos Heart is his. He'll destroy all worlds, create perfect new ones, and become king of all worlds.

The platforms in the room start moving and making faces. This is Super Dimentio, with 200 HP and 6 attack, but he's invincible right now. He'll target the heroes and either land on them or shoot at them. Keep moving so he can't hit you. He can also punch you. The platforms also shoot at you, so be careful. After a while, Super Dimentio announces it's destruction time and he'll begin with the heroes as they wallow in helplessness like upside-down turtles. He calls out, "L-POWER!"

On Flopside Tower, Merlon says the worlds are trembling. He wonders if the end is nigh. Norlem calls this unfortunate. The worlds that the heroes have visited start warping. In Dimension D, where Dimentio sent Tippi, Count Bleck, and Nastasia, Tippi says they have to do something to save Mario and the others. "We cannot. Without the Pure Hearts, there is not way to counter the Chaos hHEart. All we can do is give up." Tippi is shocked that Count Bleck would give up after promising long ago that they would find happiness together. She asks if it was just a lie. "It was no lie. But without the Pure Hearts, all worlds are doomed. What can we do?" Tippi tells Blumiere to snap out of it, asking how he can think that after they've suffered apart from each other. They found each other because they stayed alive, so she can't believe he'd admit defeat. She's not giving up because he promised they'd find happiness. Someone says Tippi's right. Mimi and O'Chunks flip in. "My minions... How did you find us here?" Mimi says they followed his smile. O'Chunks says that Nastasia said they'd be here. "Nastasia..." O'Chunks says Nastasia sacrificed herself to save him. He also promised the count his life and will live up to that promise. Both he and Mimi want to help, declaring their loyalty. "My... My loyal minions..." Black hearts appears, then reveal themselves to be Pure Hearts. "Hmm... What's this? Pure... Hearts?! But why?" Tippi explains that they are the feeling of our souls. As long we feel love, they live on. Tippi says she'll take them to Mario.

Dimentio says they should stop wasting time and finish this. Lights flash and the Pure Hearts surround Super Dimentio. He thought the heroes wasted them fighting Count Bleck. Super Dimentio is no longer invincible and the heroes are fully healed. Tippi rejoins them, saying the Pure Hearts have given them power. Now that you can attack, attack the head. Once you defeat him, he asks how they did it. He wonders how he could lose with the power of the Chaos Heart and Luigi. He asks if the prophecy has been undone. Peach says the prophecy was wrong all along. Bowser says Dimentio believed in the prophecy and they believed in mopping the ground with him. Tippi says nothing is decided entirely by fate and that everyone can choose their destinies. She bids him farewell. They'll add a footnote about his failure to the prophecy. Dimentio says this isn't finished. They can't stop this or escape. He has one last surprise. Super Dimentio spits out the Chaos Heart and Luigi. Luigi wonders what he's doing there. The Chaos Heart disappears.

Count Bleck, Mimi, and O'Chunks appear. "So it seems the end of all worlds is really upon us..." Tippi asks if defeating Dimentio wasn't enough to stop it. "I thought the Chaos Heart would disappear if the person controlling it fell... Dimentio... must have left behind a shadow of his power to continue controlling it. It won't last long... but it may be enough to ensure the end of every world..." Bowser asks what they should do now. "There is only one thing left that we can do." Count Bleck summons a large, cracked door. "This way!"

The door leads to the alter where the wedding ceremony between Peach and Bowser was performed. Count Bleck asks, "Timpani... Do you still... Do you still love me?" Tippi says she does. "Then you must come with me." O'Chunks asks what they're doing and he explains, "We will use the Pure Hearts again, this time to banish the Chaos Heart. All we need is true love... And that is something I am lucky enough to possess... But... With the Chaos Heart gone, the Pure Hearts and those linked to them... They may cease to exist." Mimi doesn't want him to go away. "All of this is my fault. It is my price to pay. I do not have long to live anyway. But you, Timpani... It pains me to know this may cut your game short... Still... There is no other way to end this." Tippi understands. "Timpani..." She says nothing else matters as long as they are together.  The ground shakes violently. Luigi announces that the end is happening. "We must go, Timpani..." Tippi agrees. They fly up to the alter, where the Chaos Heart is. "There were so many things I wanted to say to you.. but I could not find the words." Only one thing matters to Tippi: she never got to return his question. She asks if he loves her. "Of course... I have thought about you every moment since you disappeared... But I have caused you so much suffering..." Tippi says her life would have been more carefree if she hadn't met him. "But I had to be with you, Timpani. I will never apologize for that..." Tippi knows that and says she loves him. "And I love you, Timpani... Hundreds of thousands of years from now, that fact will not have changed..." Pure Hearts surround the Chaos Heart and engulf it. The world starts shaking. Bowser wonders if they're too late. Luigi hears something. They all hear bells chiming. The ground stops shaking. Peach says the bells are giving their blessing to Tippi and Bleck. In the worlds they've visited, The Void slowly disappears and the worlds are restored, including the Sammer Kingdom.

Blumiere: Timpani... do you remember the promise we made to each other that day?
Timpani: Yes, I remember...
Blumiere: If there was a place where we could be happy together, we would find it. Will you come with me to that place now?
Timpani: Blumiere... Of course... I will always be with you...

Back on Flipside Tower, Luigi wakes up Mario. Mimi, Nastasia, and O'Chunks are with the heroes. Nastasia wakes up, thrilling O'Chunks.  Peach draws their attention to the sky, where The Void is closing. Someone says it's a sign that the Prophecy of Destruction has not come to be. Merlon appears, saying all worlds have been saved. He thanks them for a job well done. He looks around, wondering where Tippi is. Mario explains what happened. Merlon accepts that she is gone under the guidance of the Pure Hearts. Peach wonders what happened to Count Bleck and Tippi and Merlon thinks they were lost when the prophecy was nullified. Nastasia disagrees, saying they're alive, fulfilling their old vows after overcoming time. She starts crying that she's all alone. O'Chunks agrees they're alive but says she shouldn't shame the count by crying. Mimi says they're still together, so they can build the count's world. Nastasia agrees that the count wouldn't approve of her crying. She also wants to create the count's world of love and not war. She suggests they pencil in an appointment for hope. Merlon comments on how farewells are bittersweet, but unavoidable. To feel sadness is to live, but the future is a blank page. After that profound musing, Merlon announces that he is hungry. He asks Saffron to make some snacks. Bowser likes this plan and starts heading for the elevator with the minions. The bros and the Pixl leave as well. Peach starts to leave, but stops when Merlon mumbles something. He wonders if Lady Timpani is truly happy. Peach says she is. Merlon agrees and they leave to get some snacks.

So the dark prophecy was averted and peace reigned. The Dark Prognosticus again faded into history... Count Blumiere and his love, Lady Timpani, both vanished. Where did the pair go? None know. And so the story of the lost book of prophecies comes to an end... May we meet again in another time and place...

Roll credits! After the credits roll, you'll see Lady Timpani and Count Blumiere, standing in a field together near a tree.

Super Paper Mario -- Chapter 8-3: Countdown to Destruction

First Bowser and then the fair Princess Peach were lost to the halls of Castle Bleck. Would they ever be seen again? Without his allies, could our hero Mario hope to stand against the evil Count Bleck? The very air in the castle grew heavier and even more ominous with every step. All they could do was plod forward in silence...

In Castle Bleck's Interior, Tippi notes the power of The Void is growing and the Chaos Heart is close. The end is almost here. There are flipping Skellobits here, some with spikes. The item blocks have a Happy Flower, Pal Pills, and a Slow Flower. There are also Cursyas. Go through the doors and you'll find Hogarithms. The door to the right doesn't work, so walk to the left of it and Super Jump up to a Sobarribad, a stronger version of a Barribad. Flip to get past the barrier to attack it. Now the door works.

This leads to a hall of mirrors with Dimentio appearing in them, along with many gaps in the floor. There are Longadiles here. Keep an eye on the mirrors, as one will not have Dimentio's reflection and will not shine. Flip and you'll be able to jump through it, as it's actually a window. There's a chest at either end of this room, one with an Ice Storm and another with a key. Go back through the window and unlock the door on the right. The door leads to some stairs. Flip to find a hallway under the stairs. There are Soopa Strikers in this hallway.

Go through the door at the end to find some Magiblots. There are three blocks at the end. Hit them to make a door appear. In the next room, you'll find three more blocks. Hit the middle one to make a door appear. In the room after that, there's a door and three blocks. Hit the right block to make the door move under the middle block. Go through the middle door to find some Red Chomps and a blue switch that removes the bars on the door. Go through the door on the right to find three more blocks. Hit them in the following order: middle, right, left. They are numbered in 3D. This makes a chestappear with a key. Go back to the stairs and climb up them. At the top are item blocks with a Happy Flower and Zombie Shroom and some Koopatrols. Unlock the door to the right.

The door leads to a small room that's actually a maze. Flip to see the arrows of which path to take to make the door to the right lead forward. You'll have to Super Jump to reach some platforms. The door leads to another hall of mirrors and Longadiles. Look for the window and jump through it to find a room swarming with Dimentios. They won't hurt you, but moving around will be difficult. Use Cudge to clear a path. There are chests and a Super Shroom hidden here. One has a Thunder Rage and another has a key. Go back through the window, then save before unlocking and opening the door.

Someone says they've made it here at last. It's Dimentio, mentioning that the heroes are missing the ravishing princess and the arm flailer. Tippi says they're not here to trade barbs with him and orders him to move out of the way. Dimentio says he will get out of their way and leaves, but later says he'll get out of their way once they defeat him. The heroes were worthy foes in the past, so he won't make it easy. They must come get him first, like it's a game of tag with magic. A space rift appears. Use Fleep's power on it to make a blue switch appear. Hit it to warp.

You warp to somewhere familiar: 1-1. Tippi wonders where they are and they notice Dimentio fly off. Keep an eye on the direction Dimentio goes and follow him. You don't need to finish the level, but to look for another space rift. Listen carefully for it, as it blends in to some areas. The space rift here leads to 2-3, Merlee's Mansion. The space rift is on the safe. Next is 3-2, the Tile Pool. The space rift is to the left of the item block with the Mushroom (Dimentio flies to the left). In 4-2, on Planet Blobule, the space rift is past the tall cliff. Flip to find a path past it. In 5-1, Downtown of Crag, flip and drop down to where you found the Fire Tablet. The space rift is to the left. In the destroyed Chapter 6, run with Dashell or Carrie and listen carefully for the space rift, as it blends into the background well. On the Underwhere Road, 7-2, climb up the area, without lit torches. The space rift is at the top, over a Dorguy.

This will take you back to Castle Bleck. Dimentio asks if they enjoyed the game of tag. Luigi tells him to stop messing around and fight them for real. Dimentio says he's not messing around. Magic is no laughing matter and he's always deadly serious. Dimentio's been watching them, saying they're the ones who can stand up to Count Bleck. He asks them a favor: will them help him destroy the count? Luigi asks why he's talking about betraying the count. Dimentio explains that Count Bleck betrayed him when he said he'd destroy all worlds and create new and perfect worlds in their place. Count Bleck was lying: he plans to obliterate all worlds and keeping them in ruin. Tippi is startled. Dimentio says he's always known about Count Bleck's nefarious goal, but he could never hope to stop the count on his own. Instead, he feigned loyalty to him and searched for someone to help him defeat the count. He explains that this is why he rescued the princess from certain brainwashing and sent them all to The Underwhere to fix the Pure Heart. He also a freed a man to be reunited with his brother. Tippi realizes that Dimentio's been helping them all this time. Diemntio asks them to return the favor and he'll give them the power to defeat Count Bleck if they fight side by side. Decline his offer. Dimentio says his offer drips with generosity and that with the Chaos Heart, they can rule every world. Reject the offer and Dimentio says he's wasted his time, so their game ends. He'll start with the green one, as the shag on his lip will make a fine trophy. Luigi is insulted, saying his moustache is not shag, but it's all Luigi. He tells Mario to leave Dimentio to him, as he doesn't have time to fight him when there are worlds to save. He tells Mario not to let Bowser's and Peach's sacrifices be for nothing, or his, either. Plus, it's personal: Dimentio made fun of his moustache, which he's sensitive about. Mario leaves. Dimentio calls the moment tender, saying he squeezed out a tear. He says Mario can run along and if he manages to defeat Count Bleck alone, all the better. He says he'll strike like an unseen dodgeball in an echoing gymnasium.

Dimentio has 80 HP and 4 attack. It only took a few hits with Luigi's attack doubled with his catch card. He'll create an illusion and shoot magic or try to trap Luigi in boxes. Hit the real one with a Super Jump and try to stomp him repeatedly. Once he's defeated, he cries uncle. Luigi asks if he's had enough. He didn't need his superstar brother to defeat him. Dimentio sees that Luigi's power is formidable, so he can't let Luigi fall into Count Bleck's velvet-lined gloves. He creates a box around the both of them. Luigi asks what he's doing and Dimentio says he has him now. They will both taste the agony of game-overing by magic. Luigi screams while Dimentio bids farewell as fireballs go off inside the box. Outside, Tippi calls to Luigi and the castle shakes. The door won't open. Tippi says they must grieve later, even though it's tough and it hurts. They must stop Count Bleck. The star is to the right.

Super Paper Mario -- Chapter 8-2: The Crash

An endless labyrinth of mind-boggling turns and deadly enemies... This final journey was more dangerous and trying than our heroes had seen before. Mario and friends kept on without Bowser, who was lost in a duel. There was no time to stop and search for Bowser, or even grieve. Our heroes knew they had to rush toward the final encounter with Count Bleck.

The ground is shaking in Castle Bleck's Foyer. Luigi's lost count of the tremors. Peach finds it strange that Count Bleck would let the destruction of The Void ravage his private castle, wondering what kind of evil plan it is if it destroys him in the process. Tippi wonders if Blumiere is here, then says they must keep moving and find Count Bleck soon. There are Zoing-Oings, Cursyas, Red Is, and Blastboxers in the area. Go through the door.

Someone says the heroes have finally arrived. The music from Merlee's Basement plays. It's Merlon, who somehow beat the heroes here. Tippi asks what he's doing here and he says he found a fascinating passage in the Light Prognosticus, so he rushed here to tell them. The passage says they can reach Count Bleck by hitting the totally unsuspicious block in front of them. Behind Merlon is a locked door. Hit the block to open up a trapdoor. Merlon giggles, calling the heroes a bunch of suckers and transforming into Mimi. The heroes drop down to a cage with a pipe on the other side of the bars. On the right side is a crack in the wall. Blow it up and go through it to reach the pipe. There are doors on either side. The door on the right leads to a room with spikes, Para Spike Tops, and a red block. The door to the left leads to a room with Magiblots, fire bars, and a red block. The red blocks in each room will move the pipe to the left or the right. Move the pipe to the far left, then go through it. There are three chests in the room with a Courage Shell, a Life Shroom, and a Key. Flip to find a hole in the floor, then drop down to the locked door.

Go through the door and you'll find Gloombas and stairs with flipping hammer bros, Koopas, and Fire Bros. Go through the door on the middle landing and you'll find many Cursyas. Flip to find a hidden path to the right which leads to a chest with an Ultra Shroom Shake. Return and go through the door at the top of the stairs. Here you'll find three dangling Mushrooms. As before, there's a trapdoor under each. The left one has three Shlorps, the middle one has all kinds of Cherbils except Dark Cherbils, and the right one has a Chromeba in 3D. Defeat the Chromeba for the key. Return to the room so you can unlock the door on the right.

Someone is speaking in rhyme about how the heroes have arrived. It's Merlee, saying she knew the heroes would survive. She has three questions to ask that will hold the key to the heroes' future. They must answer honestly and fairly.
1. Which one of theses beasts is hardest for you to make deceased? Goomba, Clubba, or Ultra Shroom
2. Next, which of theses fearsome three most rattles your knees? Fuzzies, Hammer Bros., Thunder Rage
3. Now which of these do you despise like fleas? Amayzee Dayzee, Francis, Cooking Mistake
After you answer the questions, Merlee leaves, saying they will meet again. Go through the door to find the answers to your questions in the next three rooms.

After the third door, Merlee is hopping mad, asking what the heroes are trying to pull. She reveals that she's actually Mimi, who put everything the heroes "hate" in those rooms, and asks how they got through the icky stuff. She suspects that they may have been lying. Peach asks how Mimi dares lecture them as she was just pretending to be Merlon and Merlee. Mimi ought to be ashamed for using such dirty tricks. Mimi says she likes getting what she wants, so she does whatever she needs to get it. She calls Peach always having to get rescued by boys embarrassing. Peach is a lot of talk when she has her little boyfriends to protect her. Peach is shocked and decides to give Mimi what she so richly deserves. Luigi asks if Peach is serious and Peach says to stay out of it. Mimi threw mud at her dignity. She tells the bros to leave her be and they understand. Mimi is amused that the pretty princess wants to face her along, but says it would be sad if her boyfriends had to cry over spilled peaches. She transforms, saying Peach should try not to cry or her pretty makeup will run.

Mimi has an unknown amount of HP and four attack. As always, she'll attack with Rupees. She'll also have Rubees spin around her as she moves on a line. Duck when she does this. She's faster than last time. Throw Rubees to knock her off the ceiling and stomp her to make her legs fall off one by one. When she's defeated, she screams "WAHHHHHH!" Peach asks what's the matter and if she spanked her too hard. Luigi congratulates her, but the castle shakes violently. Tippi says the destruction is spreading and if they dawdle, they're doomed. Peach suggests they leave, so the bros take off, but she stays behind, saying Mimi can't stay here and should find some place safe in the castle. Mimi doesn't think Peach cares. The castle shakes even more violently.

Outside the room, Tippi wonders what that loud noise was. Luigi calls for Peach, but the door won't open. Back in the room, Peach is holding onto a ledge, as most of the floor has given way. With her other hand, she's holding onto Mimi. Mimi asks the silly princess what she's doing. Peach asks herself the same question, saying she just leapt into action without thinking. Mimi doesn't want her help and wants to be left alone. Peach can't do that, even though Mimi has been very bad. Peach doesn't know how Mimi was raised, but she was taught to help people in need, so she can't leave Mimi to die. The castle shakes again and Peach falls.

Outside, Luigi laments that they've lost two party members: first Bowser, and now, Peach. He asks Mario what they should do. Tippi says they have to keep going, but Luigi says they can't leave the princess. Tippi knows it's horrible, but this is the end of all worlds. They must press on, which is what Peach would want if she were here. Luigi says that would be a thing Peach would say and that he's worried about her. He says she'd be mad at them for wasting time, so they should keep going. To the right is the star.

Super Paper Mario -- Chapter 8-1: The Impending Doom

Atop Flopside Tower is a solitary ominous door. Nolrem is also there, saying it's the final door. It's the eight Pure Hearts vs. the Dark Prognosticus and Castle Bleck awaits. Merlon appears, saying that on the last page of the Light Prognosticus it says that only those who have not abandoned hope can turn back the prophecy of doom. They walk forward into the future, no matter how dark and uncertain. Nolrem says they fought all this way because they believed the future could be bright. He can't go through the door with them, but sends them with all the hope in his heart. Peach thanks both of them and Luigi says to leave it to them. Bowser asks if they're going to group-hug and has had enough of the pep talks. He's doing this for himself.

Merlon says he doesn't know what's going on in Tippi's mind, but suggests that she stay behind if this is too hard for her. Tippi says she's going, having decided that she must do this. Merlon wonders what would happen if her memory returns and says she's grown so strong and changed so much. He says she must return safely to him. Tippi says she will go and defeat Count Bleck and save all worlds from destruction. The ground shakes. Nolrem tells them to hurry as all worlds may not have much time. In that black span of nothing, they will find Castle Bleck. They may face battles harder than any they've endured thus far. Once they feel ready, they should go forward. Merlon tells them all, Tippi included, to be strong. When you're ready, go through the door.

After finding every Pure Heart, the band of heroes set off for Castle Bleck. The stakes were high as the ominous void grew larger and the end drew near. Could Mario and friends stave off the inevitable and overturn the prophecy? What strange twist of fate awaited Tippi and Count Bleck? These thoughts plagued the minds of our heroes as the curtain rose on the final act...

The heroes find themselves at the Castle Bleck Entry. Castle Bleck looms, a black castle with a white outline and a cracked door. Flip into 3D to go through the door. The inside of Castle Bleck, as we've already seen, is black. This makes it sometimes difficult to distinguish enemies such as Magiblots, which are in the first area. There are also Koopatrols in the first room. To the right is a door. Through it, you'll find stairs with Goombas, Boomerang Bros. The door in the middle takes you outside where there are Paratroopas and Koopas. Go back inside and through the door at the top of the stairs and you'll find Red Is and Mr. Is. Run around them in 3D to defeat them. To the far right is a locked door. Walk a short distance to the left and Super Jump up to a door that leads to the outside.

Super Jump to the left to find two chests with a Long-Last Shake and a Stopwatch. Super Jump to the right, then float to the right to a pipe. Go through the pipe and you'll find Magiblots and Soopa Strikers in a narrow hallway. They're even in 3D. On the other side is a chest with a Castle Bleck Key. Go back through the pipe and go through the door, then unlock the door to the right. There are Dry Bones here, as well as Magikoopas, Gawbuses, Tech Cursyas, and Heavy Cursyas.

Go through the door and you'll find Magiblots and Fire Bros on the stairs. At the top are a set of five white torches. Take note of which ones are lit. Go up another set of stairs, which has Koopatrols at the top. The item block contains an Ultra Shroom. There's a Save Block nearby. Go through the door and you'll find large white torches. Have Bowser light the same ones as in the previous room and a large set of stairs is drawn in. Flip into 3D to go through the door.

Someone says "Harble-deh!" It's O'Chunks, who never thought they would make it here. He says the heroes shouldn't have been a pain. He has to hit them with the full force of his chunks. Bowser calls that big talk for a chump that gets stomped again and again. He says chunky boy is going down. O'Chunks tells him to prove it in a wrestling match of the ages. Bowser says he'll take on O'Chunks alone. Peach asks if he's sure and he says he's had egg-salad sandwhiches chunkier than him. He tells her to step back and watch how a totally awesome tyrant gets business done. The bros and Peach leave. O'Chunks says he'll hurtle into him with the force of a massive, hairy comet. He grows in size and Bowser is shocked. O'Chunks says Bowser wasn't expecting that. It's time to rumble.

O'Chunks has 100 HP and 4 attack. Because I went through the Pit of 100 Trials once in Flipside and twice in Flopside, I am now level 27, making Bowser incredibly powerful. Two blasts of fire breath doing 60 damage each beat him easily. When you win, O'Chunks shrinks down to normal size, wondering how Bowser could be chunkier than him as he's nothing but a turtle. He doesn't know how he can go on living with the shame of it all. He asks Bowser to let him keep his dignity as his game ends by finishing him off quickly. Bowser says there's no shame in being smacked down by a huge, studly boss. The ground shakes and the ceiling starts lowering. O'Chunks holds it up. Bowser asks why he saved them. O'Chunks tells them to get out of there. Bowser asks why he's doing that for them and O'Chunks says they beat him so they earned the right to pass. Bowser says he has more chunks in his head than he thought and holds up the ceiling as well. O'Chunks asks what he's doing. Bowser tells the bros to get the princess into the next room immediately. Luigi tries to protest, but Bowser barks at them to go. Peach agrees after a long pause and they leave. Bowser tells O'Chunks to go, too. He can hold up the ceiling all day. O'Chunks says he stole his line and that Bowser's hands are quivering. There's no need for Bowser to be a tough guy, so he should go. Bowser says he is a tough guy and tells O'Chunks to get out. Both of them tell each other to go and the ground shakes even more.

On the other side of the door, the bros and Peach hear a thud. Luigi calls to Bowser and checks the door, saying it won't budge. Peach says they have to keep going as there isn't much time. She's not worried about Bowser; he's not easy to get rid of. Luigi agrees, saying he's survived worse. Peach says they must move on to find Count Bleck. Bowser is no longer in the party, lost to them from a battle of machismo. The star is just to the right.

Super Paper Mario -- Interlude After Chapter 7

In Castle Bleck, the count is stunned by a report. "WHAT?! ... Spat Count Bleck in utter disbelief. Surely this news cannot be true! The heroes still live?" Dimentio tells him, in a sing-song voice that it's true and the heroes will be here before long. O'Chunks wonders why they're just sitting there. He suggest throwing the heroes a welcome party. He'll bring the punch. Mimi wants to party with the party poopers. She and O'Chunks leave. Dimentio's not one to miss a party, so he prepares to leave. Before he does, he asks Count Bleck if the name "Blumiere" rings a bell. "Where did you hear that name, Dimentio?!" Dimentio explains that the mustache man's Pixl kept talking about needing to stop Blumiere. He supposes there's no reason to mind the ramblings of a Pixl and leaves. Nastasia reminds Count Bleck that there's still time to stop the prophecy from destroying everything if the Pixl is who Count Bleck thinks it is. If she's really alive, Nastasia says he has to stop all of this. "You know not what you are saying, Nastasia. The prophecy can no longer be stopped by Count Bleck. No one can stop it. Nastasia agrees with what he's saying, but says she must be away, calling him Lord Blumiere. "Bleh heh heh heh heh... The man known as Blumiere died long ago. Now there is only Bleck! The Dark Prognosticus's choice to fulfill the prophecy! Nothing more!" Nastasia tried to interject, but Count Bleck interrupts with, "Come to Count Bleck, heroes... If you hope to save these worlds, then come... BLEH HEH HEH HEH! BLECK!"

We now present the final episode of our serial drama of Timpani and Blumiere.
Blumiere's Father: Blumiere, my son, don't! Even your ancestors could not handle that dark book... If you open it, there's not telling what might happen!
Blumiere: I do not care, Father! A world without her is empty. A LIFE without her is empty. Speak, Dark Prognosticus! Teach your dark history. I await your command! BLEH HEH HEH! BLECK!
Father: Blumiere... What have you done?
Blumiere: Silence! The first prophecy beckons. I will erase every inch... of this blasted world!
Father: Blu-Blumiere! Don't do this! Blumiere!
Bleck: Blumiere is no more! I am Count Bleck! And no one shall stand in my way! BLEH HEH HEH! BLECK!

Something crumbles as Tippi says, "No, Blumiere! You musn't. Darling, how could you? Why?" Luigi tells her to snap out of it. Peach thought Tippi went back to town, but they found her lying there, not moving. She then started shouting loudly. Tippi says she's fine and apologizes. Peach asks if Blumiere's a person's name and if she remembered something from her past. Tippi says it's nothing. Luigi suggests that they tell Merlon that they found the last Pure Heart.

Back at Merlon's, Merlon says they've gathered all the Pure Hearts and the four heroes. Bowser says they'll just stomp Count Bleck and call it a day. Peach fears for the people who worry when they look at the sky. She wants them to act quickly and ease their hearts and minds. Merlon asks Tippi what troubles her. Tippi asks if they have to destroy Count Bleck to stop the prophecy. Merlon says that much of the prophecy has already come to pass, but they still must stop it. Count Bleck summoned the Chaos Heart and brought on this peril. Without him, the prophecy's power withers and all worlds avoid their ends. Tippi guesses she always knew that. Luigi asks what's the matter. Merlon asks if there was anything between her and Count Bleck, but she denies it. Merlon says to find the Heart Pillar, then go to the black tower in Flipside.

Go to the second floor outskirts of Flopside and go right to find the Heart Pillar. Even though the Pure Heart is white, it makes a large black and purple door appear on the top of Flopside Tower. Nolrem says the last door is there and that he'll wait for them there. He says to prepare themselves and meet him there. Go there to start the final chapter. Before I do, there are two things I want to take care of first.

Super Paper Mario -- Chapter 7-4: A Bone-Chilling Tale

White clouds as far as the eye could see... Mario and Co. had climbed through clouds and finally reached The Overthere. "Odd. No party springeth forth to welcome us," wondered Luvbi aloud. "It mattereth not. Father's shrine is just ahead, so we can walk there with ease." But they would not arrive the shrine as easily as Luvbi predicted. Why not? Because something unexpected and dramatic was about to happen...

In Overthere Sector 1, Luvbi says the heroes will soon meet her father, Grambi, so they should be on their best behavior. She also mentions that Queen Jaydes is her mother. Luvbi fell ill once and Grambi never left her bedside. Her parents are annoyingly overprotective and she thinks it's her own fault for being so cute, so they can't help it.

Cross the gap in the clouds to the pavilion and ride the cloud up so you can jump to the right. Go through the door to Sector 2 on the far right and someone calls for help. Some Skellobits have trapped a Nimbi. Defeat the Skellobits and the heroes will have the Nimbi's gratitude. Luvbi asks what happened and he explains that fell beasts have been flooding into The Overthere. They seek the Pure Heart for their foul plan. Luvbi says Grambi knows the location of the Pure Heart, which means he's in danger. The Nimbi gives them a Door Key. There are Pal Pills in the high item block on the right. At the end, flip to reveal that the last pillar is a pipe. It leads to a room with a Gigabyte. Defeat it for a chest with Cooking Disk PU. Climb up and you'll find more item blocks with a Super Shroom and a Ghoul Shroom. Climb up and to the left to find a frozen Nimbi. Use Bowser to thaw him out. He says he's been brought back to life, but wonders why he is here. He has amnesia. Leave the area.

Back in Sector 1, walk to the left to find some item blocks forming stairs. At the top is a pavilion with a locked door. Unlock it to reach Sector 3. There's a Save Block near the pavilion. Float to the right to find another frozen Nimbi. Thaw him and he reveals that he is Novbi and his girl is Fallbi. For saving his life, Novbi decides to do the heroes a favor. Fallbi suggests moving the "Thou-knowest-what" and Novbi flies to the left. You'll find him under the pavilion. He reveals that the pavilion is really The Overator, which works like an elevator. Go up and you'll find more frozen Nimbis and a door that leads to Sector 4.

In Sector 4, you'll find a large pavilion with many frozen Nimbis. The last Nimbi is Whibbi, who thanks them and calls them super. Luvbi asks about Grambi. Whibbi couldn't stop the Skellobits from entering Grambi's shrine and they destroyed the bridge leading to it. Bowser suggests rebuilding the bridge. Whibbi says they must find Rebbi, Blubi, and Yebbi and get their three orbs so they can rebuild the bridge. He gives them a Door Key. If you need to do a little shopping, there's an Itty Bits shop on the roof.

Go back to Sector 2 and talk to the Nimbi with amnesia. He remembers he is Blubi. Luvbi calls him "Dumbi" for taking so long to remember. She asks for the Blue Orb and he gives it to her. Go back to Sector 3 and go unlock the door to reach Sector 5.  Go to the left and climb up to reach a door to Sector 6. There's a Mushroom in an item block. Flip to find a path and you'll find an item block with a Mega Star. If you use Luigi, he'll be 8-bit Fire Luigi, but won't be able to throw fireballs. Go through the area to defeat the Skellobits. When you return to normal, flip to reveal another path. Go right to find a restroom. Knock on the door and someone asks if the beasts are gone. They then asks who knocked. Answer "A Monster" and they'll claim that whoever knocked is lying, as no monster would admit to being a monster. They then realize that the person knocking isn't a monster and come out of the restroom. It's Yebbi. Luvbi orders him to give them the Yellow Orb or she'll tell everyone how long he hid in there.

Return to Sector 5. Hit the red switch on the pavilion to make it move to the right (hitting it again will make it go to the left). There's a pavilion on solid ground with a Shooting Star on the roof. The door on the pavilion leads to Sector 8, where you'll find a Slow Flower in an item block and Boomerang Bros. There are several arches in the area. Over one is an item block containing a Happy Flower over a brick block. On the far right is the Nimbi called Maybi. He won't respond and he's probably faking it. Leave him be and return to Sector 5. Flip to find a door behind the pavilion. This leads to Sector 7. Drop down and you'll find a large chest. Open it an a Nimbi appears, having executed his escape attempt. The chest contains a most valuable treasure- him. Luvbi asks why he's in there while The Overthere was being overrun with beasts. The Nimbi admits to getting stuck during his escape act, so he's been hiding. He gives them an Ultra Shroom Shake as proof of his generosity. Go back up and float to the right. You'll find Rebbi attacking some Skellobits. The heroes walk in and he's thankful for reinforcements, as his strength is giving out. Defeat the Skellobits and Rebbi says he owes them. He gives them the Red Orb, saying that it is not given lightly.

With all three orbs, return to Sector 4, where Whibbi is. Walk to the right to find a pedestal. Place all three orbs in the pedestal and the clouds shake. The pixelated rainbow bridge falls into place. Whibbi tells them to save Grambi. Head over the bridge to the shrine. Go through the door and a Skellobit tells the heroes to hold it. It wonders how they got in after they destroyed the bridge. Luvbi asks how Grambi is, threatening to end all that is the Skellobit if he's hurt. The Skellobit calls her a brat and tells his allies to fall in. Lots of Skellobits appear. Rebbi appears, saying his strength has returned. He calls in the Nimbi Brigade and the two armies battle in the air. There are some Skellobits on the ground that the heroes have to get past. Flip behind the stairs to the shrine to find a chest with a Spiky Skellobit card. Go up the stairs, heal with the Ultra Shroom in the item block and save.

Go through the door. Luvbi freaks out, seeing Grambi stooped over, thinking he's hurt. Grambi says Luvbi shouldn't have come and tells her to flee. Someone says that this is a touching scene. It's a mechanical beast, the boss of all the crazy guys who escaped The Underwhere, according to Luigi. He is Bonechill, an evil celebrity in The Underwhere. Luvbi says that Grambi will never give him the Pure Heart, so he should give up. Bonechill calls her an ignorant child, amused that she doesn't know anything. He reveals that the Pure Heart is her. The Pure Heart was hidden to keep out of the hands of evil types. Grambi transformed it into a Nimbi that he called his own daughter. He asks her if she really thinks Grambi pays her any attention out of love. Bonechill says Grambi can weigh the sins of others, but not his own. Tippi tells Luvbi to get Grambi to safety and the two leave the shrine. Bonechill thanks the heroes for delivering the Pure Heart. Once he defeats them, he'll be invincible. He says to consider it an honor to have their game ended by his talons.

Bonechill has 80 HP and 4 attack. He has ice breath and summons and spews icicles. Only his head should be attacked, by either Super Jumping or throwing icicles with Thoreau. Super Jumping is the best way so you can repeatedly stomp him and rack up stylish combos. Once you win, he calls his defeat impossible. He asks how the heroes could destroy the master of cold dark. He then falls apart.

Grambi and Luvbi return. Grambi says they've saved the realm. Luvbi asks if what Bonechill said was a lie. Queen Jaydes appears, saying she came when she didn't receive word of Luvbi's safe arrival. Luvbi asks them if they are her parents. Queen Jaydes pauses, but confirms that Luvbi isn't their child. She explains the Pure Heart was always in danger of falling into the wrong hands, so they transformed it into a shape none would suspect. There's a flash of light and the Pure Heart appears from Luvbi for an instant. Grambi says that Luvbi is unstable and the Pure Heart struggles against the Luvbi identity. It seeks to return to its true form and senses someone near worthy of possessing it. Luvbi starts to consider that she is meant to be with Mario and that he may be her prince. She thinks the idea stinks and that Mario is completely wrong for her. She says she'll return to her true form and go with Mario. Grambi says if she does, Luvbi will no longer exist. Luvbi says she remembers being the Pure Heart and all worlds will end if she does not go with him. She wonders why she bothers to explain herself as Grambi and Queen Jaydes are not her parents. She gets angry with them, asking how many times they scolded her when they knew she wasn't long for this world. She suffered an angry fake father and a nagging fake mother who should have let her have fun. She asks how they plan to make up for the fact that she didn't have a life. Grambi says not to talk to her mother that way and thinks her sass will end when she changes forms. Luvbi says she'll change forms regardless, as it will be a relief. Grambi calls her an ungrateful brat and reminds her that he lingered by her bedside when she was ill. Luvbi scoffs at his lingering and asks for the present back that she bought with her allowance. Grambi asks who gave her that allowance and reminds her that she lied about buying schoolbooks to get it. Luvbi asks how he dares lecture her on lying and asks why he thinks she lied. She thought they would be happy. She hates them and they are not her real parents.

Queen Jaydes says that's enough. She says the reason Luvbi was created is true, but they came to love her as their true daughter. They wanted to be with her for all time and to protect her. She became a part of them. Queen Jaydes thinks that perhaps they were wrong to create her and apologizes if they only caused her pain. Luvbi says not to apologize and thanks them. The Pure Heart wants to assume its original form. She asks Tippi to take care of the real her and save the world as her final wish. It would be unkind of Tippi if she didn't. Tippi understands. Luvbi bids farewell to her parents and apologizes for lying, saying she really loves them both. She slowly transforms into the Pure Heart. Grambi asks the prophesied heroes to take his dear daughter, the Pure Heart and swear to prevail. He wants no one to feel this sadness. The heroes take the Pure Heart and the Pixls dance.

End Of Chapter
"Heroes... My daughter wanted thee to save all worlds. 'Twas her final wish." Grambi spoke slowly through his tears as the brave Nimbis cleaned up The Overthere. Draped in sadness, Queen Jaydes walked slowly to her palace in The Underwhere. Mario, his friends, and the eighth Pure Heart were all that remained... This Pure heart came at a high price. Let us hope it was all worthwhile.

Super Paper Mario -- Chapter 7-3: The Forbidden Apple

Our heroes had found their way out of the dark and confusion of The Underwhere. Mario and friends now saw the sun shining brightly against a beautiful blue sky. This was the sky paradise Grambi called home, a place of joy called The Overthere. Somewhere above the never-ending layers of clouds waited Grambi himself. Mario and his friends began to make their way up that fluffy road to above...

The heroes have reached the bottom of the Overthere Stair. Luvbi is happy to see blue skies again, even though The Void is here, too. She says they have to keep climbing to reach The Overthere. Tippi says they haven't found Peach yet. Luvbi asks if Peach is Mario's lady friend. Peach isn't his girlfriend, so Luvbi thinks it's a one-sided crush. She goes on ahead, saying if the heroes climb too slowly, the sun will set.

On some of the larger clouds, you'll find numbers of the steps, so I'll be referring to them. Each set of 10 steps forms a stair. At the top is a door leading to the next stair. You'll find Parabuzzies here. In the item blocks, you'll find a Super Shroom. Take the yellow platform up and you'll encounter an Ice Cherbil. If you find that you're stuck trying to go up, flip to check your surroundings, Super Jump, or look for a yellow platform. Flip and you'll find some flip blocks. On stair 15, you'll find a large Jump-Over Cloud. They're very bouncy, so treat them like springs. They'll launch you up several steps. On Stair 17, you'll find a Slow Flower in an item block. On Stair 19 is another Jump-Over Cloud. On Stair 20 is the door to Stair 2.

On Stair 21, hit the item blocks for a fast flower and some Zombie Shrooms so you can rack up points and coins quickly. Go up a few clouds to reach a Save Block. There's a Jump-Over Cloud on Stair 23 and 24, which is a little below Stair 23. Flip to find coins on Stair 24. On Stair 25 are a couple of Rawbuses and a chest with a Rawbus card. On Stair 28, you'll find Ruff Puffs, who'll shoot a ball of electricity at you.

There's a Jump-Over Cloud on Stair 31. On Stair 33 is a door which leads to a tree bearing Blue Apples. They'll heal 5 HP. Use Thudley to knock them from the tree. You'll find a chest with a Ruff Puff card on Stair 34. On the left side, on Stair 37, flip to find some item blocks that allow you to cross to the right side.

On the right side, near Stairs 41 and 42, you'll find some blocks. There are flipping Spinies here, thrown by flipping Lakitus. You'll find a Jump-Over Cloud between Stairs 44 and 45. On 46, you'll find a door leading to Red Apples and a Happy Flower. Be sure to hold onto at least one Red Apple. Drop down to 43 to find a door and a Save Block. The door leads to a tree, with Peach sleeping underneath it. The bros and Bowser try to wake her up, to no avail. Tippi mentions that Peach can really sleep. Luvbi flies in and notices that Peach ate the golden fruit. There are many magical trees in The Overthere, whose fruits have many effects. The Golden Apple makes people so satisfied that they'll sleep for 100 years. Bowser's not that patient. Luvbi mentions a tree that grows taboo fruit that would wake anyone. She then starts pouting that everyone holds Peach in such high regard, so she decides not to help, but go sulk instead. At this point, you can leave, or try giving Peach some apples that you've collected. The Red Apple will make her grow much taller, wake up, freak out, then return to normal size and fall back asleep. The Blue Apple will make her shrink, then return to normal size without waking her up.

Return to the Overthere Stair. Go onto the left side and take two yellow platforms up (they'll move right next to each other). You'll find a chest with a Shroom Shake. On Stair 48, you'll find a Jump-Over Cloud. To the left, you'll find a sign. Flip in front of it to find a door leading to the tree with Yellow Apples. If given to Peach, she'll wake up, grow a mustache, freak out, ask for some lip wax, then fall asleep. The mustache will disappear.

On Stair 51, go through the door on the left and flip to find the tree with Pink Apples. They will make Peach turn into a Peachy Peach, then return to normal. On Stair 52 is a coin block cleverly disguised as a brick block and a Mushroom in an item block. Take the yellow platform up to Stair 53 and flip to find a door leading to the tree of Black Apples. Give it to Peach and she wakes up, calling it gross. She asks what they gave her to eat. Luigi is happy that it worked. Peach is excited that Luigi is safe. Bowser says her concerned husband is here. Peach ignores that and asks where they are, as she can't remember. Tippi explains that Dimentio's attack sent her to The Overthere. Luvbi asks if she's awake. Luvbi says she's taking these travelers to the Overthere. Peach is pleased to make Luvbi's acquaintance, but Luvbi isn't so pleased, telling the princess of silly peaches to not dawdle. Luvbi leaves to climb ahead. Peach wonders if she said something rude. Tippi says not to worry about it. Peach apologizes for causing the other heroes trouble, but she's happy to see them. Now that Peach has rejoined the party, platforming will be easier.

Back on Stair 52 is a door. Go through it and bars appear on the door. Skellobits are in the area. They're creatures from The Underwhere who carry spears. Defeat them all to go back through the door. On Stair 53 is a Jump-Over Cloud. On Stair 54, climb up the blocks, then float to the other side. On Stair 55, you'll find one of many Jump-Over Clouds in the area that lead to Stair 6.

On Stair 61, you'll find a Flip Cursya, which will flip the directions on the D-Pad. Leave it alone or use Piccolo to remove the curse. To the left, a yellow platform will appear between two brick blocks. Transfer to another yellow platform and you'll see arches in the sky. Stand on them and flip for item blocks. On Stair 62 is a brick block that's actually a coin block. On Stair 63 is a Jump-Over Cloud. There are coins on Stair 65 and a Slow Cursya on Stair 68. The chest near it has a Long-Last Shake. Take the yellow platform to a series of narrow pillars. Use Peach to cross them. There's chest with a Thunder Rage on Stair 69.

On Stair 71, flip near the item blocks to find more item blocks. One has a Super Shroom. There's also a Jump-Over Cloud. There's another on Stair 72. Near Stair 73 are some pillars. Near Stair 74 is a yellow platform that leads to a chest with a Life Shroom. Go up and you'll find a pavilion and a cloud. The switch next to him makes a pipe appear. Talk to the cloud and you'll find his name is Cyrrus. He wants to be a big cloud. He heard about a guy getting bigger by eating a mushroom and wants to eat something that will make him bigger, as well. You can feed him any of the apples you have and they'll do the same things as they did to Peach. The pipe nearby will take you back to Stair 43 so you can get a Red Apple, which he needs. He grows and calls himself Super Cyrrus. He's super bouncy, to the point that he launches the heroes of the planet. They come back down and land on Stair 80. Flip under the roof of the pavilion to find some coins. Super Jump onto the pavilion to reach a chest with a gold bar. Go through the door and you'll find a sign that says, "Here Endeth Overthere Stair. The Overthere is Over There". Float across the gap to the star.

Super Paper Mario -- Chapter 7-2: The Sealed Doors Three

"I sought a prince, but nay! What I found were ancient men of hairy cheek." "'Twas a horror, yea, and one that left my breath stricken in my throat." Luvbi kept up this refrain as she traveled with our heroes. She seemed less than happy. Still, she DID have a lot of energy... "Hasten thy chubby legs! Times waits not for those who slack!" Luigi, on the other hand, was elated that he and his brother were finally reunited. But Peach and Bowser were still nowhere to be found... Were they safe? ... So thought our heroes as they made their way slowly to Underwhere Road.

Luvbi announces that they have reached Underwhere Road, the way out of The Underwhere. Tippi asks if they keep going upward, they'll eventually reach The Overthere. Luvbi says that is obvious. Her heart weeps to return to The Overthere without meeting her true love. She then asks Tippi if she believes in soul mates. Tippi stammers, but doesn't really answer. Luvbi marks her as "undecided" or "unrequited". Tippi stammers some more, but Luvbi says she was only tweaking Luvbi's chain. Luvbi decides to go on ahead, challenging them to catch her if they can. Tippi calls her an entirely unstable walking mood swing.

Go through the door and you'll enter a dark area. Move carefully as you'll be doing some vertical platforming. Luvbi will always be just ahead of you, so follow her. In the darkness, you may encounter Underhands, so be careful. There are a couple of flipping platforms in the area, as well as some Dark Boos, who can flip. About halfway up, drop down to the right to find a chest with a Dark Boo card. On the way, you'll find item blocks with some Mushrooms. At the top is a door that's sealed shut. Use Tippi's power on it and it starts talking. It notes that travelers have come. He informs the heroes that Queen Jaydes demands that he guard the door, as there are many monsters prowling about. He is Dorguy the First and, as a routine check, will ask some questions to determine if they are trustworthy. If all questions are answered correctly, he'll let them through. These are story problems, but you can largely ignore the story.
1. Who is the most powerful person in The Underwhere? Queen Jaydes
2. What is my name? Dorguy the First
3. How many times did I just say the word "apple"? 6 times
After answering the questions correctly, he lets them through.

The door leads to a room with two locked doors and a Save Block. The ground is shaking. When you have a decent amount of health, talk to the D-Men guarding one of the doors. They say they're busy. Tippi explains that they must reach The Overthere, but don't know the way. The D-Men say the left door will lead them to The Overthere, but they can't open it for them as they've trapped a raging beast, who escaped its prison, behind the door they're guarding. They've locked both doors down for security. Someone must subdue the beast, and if the heroes do it, they'll unlock the door. Agree and the D-Men say they were only joking, but ask if the bros are nuts when they realize they've agreed. They agree to let them through the door, saying they'll mail the hero's mustache to their next of kin. The predict that the hero's game is about to end and unlock the door.

Go through the door and you'll hear a familiar roar. The torches light up, revealing Bowser wondering where he is, why jerks in shades keep jumping him, and why it's so dark. He complains that Peach isn't here and he's hungry. He wonders what he did to deserve this. He notices that the bros are in the room and asks where everyone else is, including Peach. Tippi explains they don't know and they're looking for her. Bowser definitely doesn't like the fact that Peach isn't here and thinks the bros want to break them up. Tippi denies it, but Bowser decides to stomp the truth out of them. Bowser has 80 HP, 8 attack, and 2 defense. He'll charge at the bros or breathe fire. Don't stomp him without Carrie due to the spikes. Keep attacking and you'll eventually win. Bowser asks why he always loses and what's wrong with him. He says he always gets back up every time, as many times as it takes to send the bros to The Underwhere. Luigi says they're already there. Bowser asks if he looks like a guy who's game is over. Tippi explains that Dimentio's attack sent them here and that she and Merlon didn't know about any of them. Bowser finally realizes that Peach is really lost somewhere and asks why they didn't say so. They could've been searching for her this entire time. He rejoins the party.

The heroes leave the room and the D-Men note that their games aren't over, so they think the heroes ran away from the fight. They're shocked to learn that the beast has been defeated. They thank them, calling the heroes "prime go-getters". They give the heroes the Door Key and the other D-Men leave to take care of other things. The remaining D-Man says to have someone light the torches with fire, but the torches will go out eventually.

Unlock the door and have Bowser out, using Carrie's power to move faster. Use his fire breath to light the torches. The Underhands disappear in the light. This area contains a lot of vertical platforming in a narrow space, so if you fall, you may lose a lot of progress. There are Dry Bones and Dark Boos here to help you to that end. Be sure to light every torch in the vertical area, as they are few and far between. About halfway up, drop down to the right to find a pipe. You'll find many coins in the room, but they'll quickly disappear. Return to the dark room and you'll find a door at the top. Use Tippi's power on it to get Dorguy the Second to talk to you. He'll display colorful shapes on a screen and ask questions about what appears, but he won't tell you if you got a question correct.
1. How many red objects were there? 3
2. How many triangles were there? 2
3. What color were the moving objects? Blue
4. Off the top of your head, what number question is this? 4
5. What shape was the most plentiful? Triangles
Once you answer all the questions, he'll say the heroes have very young brain ages, so they must be good people.

Go through the door to find a locked door and a pink door. The pink door leads to the room of the three women. They each have a favor to ask. The only one you need to do is the pink one's, Hagra's. She'll ask you to get a book she lent a D-Man and she'll warp you to his location. Talk to him to get the Diet Book back. You'll still have to climb your way back up to return it to her. She'll give you the Door Key as a reward. The blue one, Hagnes, will ask you to listen to her story of how she romantically pursued Grambi, but lost to another. The green one, Hagitha, will sent you to a D-Man to check a TV recording. Tell him the correct show and climb back up. She rewards you with information on how to deal with an Underwhere beast called the Underchomp. If it's favorite music is played, it will fall asleep.

Unlock the door and you'll find some rocks and a set of ascending stairs. Light the torches so you can see, then use Mario to climb the stairs, so he can flip to avoid the Spiny Tromps rolling down. Super Jump to reach the door at the top. Dorguy the Third is here and he asks if he can get a little Underchomp. He can and it appears, a set of three Chomps, each a primary color. If the heroes are worthy, they should be able to beat it. Things turn into an Earthbound-style battle. Use Piccolo to put each Underchomp to sleep for a few turns, then attack with Bowser for the most damage. When they wake up, use Piccolo again. You'll get 6,000 points for winning. Dorguy the Third allows them through to reach the star.

Super Paper Mario -- Chapter 7-1: Subterranean Vacation

Dimentio's savage attack had separated Mario from his friends. He had reunited with Luigi, yes, but Peach and Bowser were still missing. Just where were those two? And what new dangers lay ahead? It was time to venture through the door opened by the seventh Pure Heart. Once again, Mario saw a nightmarish landscape beyond imagination...

Mario and Luigi find themselves back in The Underwhere. Tippi wonders what sort of world this dark place is. Luigi mentions that they just came from here. Tippi wonders why the Pure Heart led them here. If you talk to the first Shayde, it'll think it's funny that the heroes say this is their second time here. Go through the door, go over the pipes with Luigi, then cross the River Twygz with Carrie.

Queen Jaydes asks why they return. Tippi introduces herself and explains that they're here this time to find the Pure Heart. Queen Jaydes is shocked, then thinks they may be the heroes of the Light Prognosticus. Tippi asks if she has the Pure Heart. Queen Jaydes says the Pure Heart's location is of the utmost secrecy and she can't tell them. They must speak to Grambi, king of The Overthere. Luvbi appears, saying she's packed her things and is ready to return to The Overthere. She notices the bros have returned and asks if their games truly ended. Queen Jaydes asks the bros to take Luvbi back to The Overthere. Tippi asks why they'd need to and Queen Jaydes explains that a monster was once held underneath here and a recent earthquake freed it, so it wanders freely. She can't send her daughter alone with such a beast on the loose. If they agree to take Luvbi, she'll open the way to The Overthere and alert Grambi of their arrival and their request for the Pure Heart. She and her D-Men are too busy trying to contain the damage. A door appears and Queen Jaydes instructs them to keep heading upward and make sure Luvbi arrives safely into the care of Grambi.

Luvbi suggests that they not look at her while they climb or they may succumb to her cuteness. Tippi says the bros are not that superficial. Luvbi notes Tippi's sharp tongue and thinks she may be jealous. She asks if Tippi pines for the hairy twins and if she prefers the red one or the green one. Tippi is confused and stammers. Luvbi says Tippi is blushing and flustered, so she may have a crush on one of the bros that burns as hot as 1,000 suns. Go through the door to reach the star.

Super Paper Mario -- The Underwhere

Mario wakes up in a dark world. Someone says hi and asks if it's his first time in The Underwhere. It's a joke, as people don't arrive here twice. Mario asks what this place is and the Shayde says it's where people go when their game is over. It's also called World -1. The Shayde asks how Mario's game ended, but Mario says his game's not over. The Shayde says he's in denial and that he'll hear the truth from Queen Jaydes, the scariest person in The Underwhere, who rules over the Shaydes. None of the Pixls are with you, nor Bowser or Peach, but you still have your items. Walk to the right to find a fountain. Stand in it to fully restore your health. To the right is a Save Block and a door.

Go through the door and someone hums to themselves. It's an angel-like being, speaking in an older version of English, wondering if she'll meet her most special someone today. She believes it will be a prince of fair countenance who is pining to meet her. She commands him to fly to her. She looks at Mario and scowls, asking why he's staring at her. He didn't hear her pine for an old, mustached fatty and tells him to be gone. In the area are tall pipes and spikes. Flip to get around them, but you'll have to keep switching between the front path and the back path. At the end is a tall pipe. Flip to find a flip block so you can reach the Super Shroom Shake on top of the pipe. Go through the door.

There's a wide river and a boat. You can pay money to cross the river, the River Twygz, or just swim across. Avoid the hands in the water, which are called Underhands. They can't be defeated and will hurt you. Go through the door on the other side of the river to reach a palace. One of the Shaydes says that Mario should talk to Queen Jaydes, who knows all the bad things everyone's done in life. If a person was good, they get to go to The Overthere. If not, they'll suffer in The Underwhere. Talk to Queen Jaydes, the mistress of The Underwhere. She's the ruler of those with ended games and weighs the sins from one's time among the living. If they're light enough, one gets to experience the bliss of The Overthere. She senses a strange energy and asks if Mario brought anything strange into The Underwhere. Mario hands her the Pure Heart and she is shocked. It is badly damaged. She wonders who Mario is to have it and asks what happened. She then gets a call from Grambi, saying that Luvbi is missing. She and her D-Men are already shorthanded, so she asks Mario's help to find Luvbi, a Nimbi who vanished. Agree to help and she'll take the Pure Heart, promising to return it when he returns with Luvbi. She gives Mario a Door Key, saying a strange fellow dressed in green fell into the River Twygz, who definitely is not Luvbi. She says to check there first anyone and says the key opens the door to the underground waterways.

Drop down into the River Twygz and avoid the Underhands. Flip at the bottom to find a hole that leads to a locked door. Unlock it. Swim up and over the ledge and push a block down to the right. Drop down and throw the switch to drain the water. Go up and right to find some brick blocks. Break them, then throw the switch again to fill the area with water. Swim up and to the right. Flip to find a path out of the area. Flip to reach a block and push it down to the left. Drop down and throw the switch to drain the water. Hit the brick block for a ladder. Flip to find a path out of the area. Go through the pipe and flip for some coins. Go through the door to the right and drop down. Flip and go back to find a hidden chest with a Dry Bones card. Climb up the fountains to the right to find someone groaning. Mr. L's music starts playing. It's a man in a green cap, wondering how he ended up in this lousy place. He remembers being grabbed by Count Bleck's underlings. He wants someone to help him. Mario greets him and Luigi freaks out. He remembers his brother and missed him a lot. He asks why Mario's here, saying he doesn't know where he is. Mario explains and Luigi can't believe he's in the land of ended games. He thinks Count Bleck's baddies did him in like they did in Mario. He takes it well, saying everyone runs out of extra lives. He wonders what to do and Mario explains he's looking for Luvbi. Luigi agrees, saying he has lots of free time now that his game is over. He joins the party. Hold Down on the Control Pad, then release to do a Super Jump to reach high ledges and attack enemies. Luigi wants to jump for joy. Flip to find a Long-Last Shroom Shake in the corner, then Super Jump to reach the door.

Use the Super Jump to quickly go through the waterways, then head to the left after getting out of the River Twygz. Super Jump over the pipes until you reach the door, then Super Jump on the pipes to the left of the door, without going through it. There are Ice Piranhas here, as well as a Poison Cherbil. In the high item block, you'll find a Happy Flower. Just to the right is a tall pipe with an Ice Piranha. It leads to the background. Go through the other pipe in the background to reach a pipe in the background below. Go through the other pipe in the area and it takes you to a room with a Gigabyte, a flying skull that will only take 1 HP of damage per hit. It has 6 HP and will give you many coins when you defeat it. Defeating it will also make a chest with the Peach (3) card appear. Return to the foreground and go through the door. You'll hear the angel-like creature humming again. Flip to get past the pipes with the Ice Piranhas and talk to her. She tells her sweet prince to hasten to her. She sees the Mario bros, and calls them aging men of mustache. She asks what they want and they explain they came to find her. She refuses to consort with such hairy faces and wants only princes to approach her. She asks if they claim to be her prince, and if so, they should know her name. Tell her her name is Luvbi and she taunts them, but is shocked when they know her name. The thought of them being her prince can't be abided and she won't date a man so old and unpleasant to the eye. She decides to return to her mother.

Return to Queen Jaydes and Luvbi says the foul, hairy creatures return at last. She calls them liars as they weren't princes, but found her at the request of her mother. Queen Jaydes tells Luvbi to mind her manners and says she sent them because she wandered off without permission. She tells her to apologize and Luvbi says she is sorry that the Mario Bros are so hairy. Queen Jaydes says Luvbi had them worried. She gives back the purple Pure Heart, fully restored, as a sign of gratitude. She has power over life and death, so she restored the Pure Heart. She says the fact that the Pure Heart survived means fate is on their side. She also explains that Mario's and Luigi's games are not truly over and they were sent to The Underwhere alive. She can allow them to return. She chants her name, then Game Over several times, then Continue.

The bros end up on Flipside Tower. Tippi says Mario is alive and Merlon was sure Mario's game had ended, but is marveled that he is truly alive. Luigi says his bro bounces back and that he bounces, too. Back in Merlon's house, Luigi introduces himself as his bro's bro. Tippi asks if they've met before, but Luigi doesn't remember. Tippi thinks he may be the fourth hero. The Light Prognosticus says the seventh Pure Heart will draw together two men and its brilliance will shine on the way to the last hero. Tippi says she never stopped believing Mario would return and asks about Peach and Bowser, thinking they could come back as well. She says to find the next Heart Pillar.

Go to the B1 Flopside Outskirts. Use the Super Jump to jump onto the tall wall, then flip. Drop down to the back to find a chest with a Piccolo card. On the other side of the wall on the front side is the Heart Pillar. Place the Pure Hear to make the purple door appear. Tippi says they must act quickly to stop Blumiere. She then wonders who Blumiere is.

Super Paper Mario -- Interlude After Chapter 6

In Castle Bleck, Nastasia informs Count Bleck that Dimentio reported that Mr. L was insubordinate by taking on a hero-fighting initiative. She accepts full responsibility and says her administrative breakdown allowed it to occur. "I see, remarked Count Bleck... Well, what is done is done. This prophecy will not be fulfilled without sacrifice." Nastasia reports that Mimi also left the castle. "Did she, now? Well, Count Bleck will leave you to dispense the minion discipline." Nastasia remarks that Count Bleck seems different. She asks if he got a new monocle or if something happened. "Count Bleck feels fine... Leave me..." She leaves, and he monologues, "......Could that Pixl have been... Timpani?" He shakes his head, saying, "No, no completely impossible. I should know that better than anyone. Besides, it's far too late to do anything now. The prophecy has been set in motion and no one, not even I can stop it. No one can stop this now..." He leaves after referring to himself in the first person.

We now return to our serial drama of Timpani and Blumiere.
Blumiere: Timpani! What did you do with her? I must see her!
Blumiere's Father: Still your tongue, Blumiere... Can't you see you've been duped by a dirty human? You have brought shame to my name... and to the entire Tribe of Darkness!
Blumiere: And so what if I did? That doesn't matter to me! She's my entire world!
Father: Well, then it will interest you to know... that she no longer resides in this world.
Blumiere: What... What do you mean by that?!
Father: This is the price those who resist their own fate must pay, my son.
Blumiere: She... No... It can't be so!
Father: Someday you will see, Son. Our kind and humans must never mix.

The heroes have returned to Flipside. When you're ready, go to see Merlon. He asks if they have the seventh Pure Heart. Tippi asks him to look at it. He asks what happened and Tippi explains that The Void consumed the world and left the Pure Heart like this. Merlon says he can't feel the typical energy from it and says it will do nothing if placed in a Heart Pillar. Tippi asks how they can save him, and everyone, from destruction. Merlon says they must defeat Count Bleck, but they need eight Pure Hearts.

Dimentio appears, saying how forlorn the group of heroes cries. There is no way in this world to restore the Pure Heart, making all their hard work in vain. Bowser remarks that that stinks. Dimentio offers a consolation prize by drawing boxes around Mario, Peach, and Bowser, then sets off explosions in each of them. The three heroes disappear and Merlon freaks out, asking what happened. Tippi asks where they went and Dimentio says he fulfilled their wishes and sent them to the next world. He introduces himself as their enemy who serves Count Bleck and leaves.

Super Paper Mario -- Chapter 6-1

The heroes go back through the door that leads to Chapter 6. What they find is a completely white world. Tippi says there's nothing left here and it can't be the beautiful world they were in before. She feels the Pure Heart, but faintly. She can't believe that anything's left and suggests they take a look around. Use Carrie to get around faster in this barren wasteland. You'll find bits of debris here and there. After a long while, Tippi will see something. It's a gray, stone-like heart. It's the Pure Heart, which somehow survived the world's obliteration, but something seems odd about it.

Someone laughs, calling the place pretty bland. Mr. L drops in, saying it looks like the Pure Heart is broken and couldn't handle the end of the world. He decides to swipe it for kicks. If you have Peach out, he calls her gorgeous and says this chaos wasteland is no place for a stunner like her. Peach demands that he remove his mask. He changes the topic to the Dark Prognosticus. Anything the count doesn't like never existed. He decides to leave, saying to stay out of Count Bleck's business if they want to live. Peach says even he, a masked man wouldn't watch a world die without feeling anything. She says he must see that Count Bleck's plan is mad. He asks if the heroes are pushing for a fight. He won't disappoint them and launches the new and improved Brobot. This one has arms and feet and is sporting the latest in brobotics. He calls it Brobot L-Type. Mr. L tells Peach to try not to get kidnapped before she's defeated.

Brobot L-Type has 64 HP, 5 attack, and 4 defense. It has 8 defense against fire. It can attack with its hands and tackle, as well as throw its mustache, shoot missiles, and do everything that Brobot could. It's weak to explosions, so place Boomer near where its feet are or will be, and press (1) again to make Boomer explode. Once you defeat it, Mr. L says there's no way Brobot L-Type should have been defeated, as it shoots missiles. He drops the Pure Heart when he lands on the ground. He calls it preposterous and wonders why he can't win. Tippi suggests that he keeps losing because he's weak. Mr. L growls, saying the heroes can laugh now, but he never forgets. He leaves, leaving Peach to think she's met him before. Tippi notices he dropped the Pure Heart, which looks like a rock. It has no sparkle left. She suggests they take it back to Merlon.

End Of Chapter

Elsewhere, Mr. L says he can't seem to beat the heroes. Dimentio asks if they wounded his fragile pride and demolished his robot again. Mr. L is stumped, thinking a giant robot would be enough to crush the heroes. He's a disgrace and can't show his face to Count Bleck after this. Dimentio says this is probably for the best and uses a little flame magic on him. Mr. L asks what he's doing. Dimentio says Mr. L can't go back, so he should get lost. Mr. L doesn't find it funny, but if he wanted to laugh, Dimentio's face is inspiration enough. Dimentio comments on his temper, saying his nostrils flare out like the hood of a hissing cobra. He can't have Mr. L around the count, but if he gets rid of him here, he won't be found out and Mr. L will never be found. This is his moment to grasp. He says it's time for Mr. L's final bow and summons a box around him. Mr. L freaks out, saying Dimentio's lost his mind. Dimentio promises that this won't be so bad. He'll send the heroes his way soon so he'll have someone to play with. He sets off explosions in the box while Mr. L wails. Dimentio leaves.

The destruction of an entire world was a great and terrible tragedy. But Mario and his allies had survived the cataclysm and found another Pure Heart. The end of that world had dulled the shine of the Pure Heart they had found. Was the Pure Heart's power lost forever? The heroes set out for Flipside to find out..

For some reason, the music for the start of the chapter plays.
