Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time -- Part 4: An Amazing Egg-xit, by Boogity

Now that Kamek's out of the way, proceed east. Ahead, Baby Bowser comes to a dead end. The bros catch up. In retaliation for eating the cookies, Baby Bowser eats the Cobalt Star shards. He says they were delicious, but it seems they gave him a little stomacheache at first. The bros try to stomp the shards out of him, but some Shroob flying saucers appear. Yoob is climbing up the cliff. The flying saucers hit him with a laser which makes him grow much larger. He eats Baby Bowser and the bros.

Inside Yoob, the babies are wailing. Luigi finally calms them down with some Yoshi cookies. Baby Mario starts hitting some colorful buttons on the wall. Have the babies jump on the spring to find a Yoshi trying to push a familiar-looking rock. He thinks pushing the rock down the hole will open up a way out of Yoob. He can't push the rock anywhere on his own. Stuffwell thinks there are other Yoshis around that can help. Check out the multitude of bean spots and use the pipe block to reunite the bros. Each time you drill, Yoob winces. Also check out the "trunks" in Yoob's body. You'll find useful items, money, and new enemies called Bullies. One "trunk" has a piece of fruit. Feed it to the Yellow Yoshi near the northern doors to get him to help push the rock. There's a Heart Block in the room so you can heal without using items.

There are five rooms ahead. The room to the west has an RC Shroober terrorizing a Red Yoshi with his robot. Destroy its robot and it attacks. It will send out remote-control robots at you. Hit the flying saucers and jump on the ground-based robots. Once you defeat it, the Red Yoshi will help push the rock. The room to the northwest has a Dry Bones and a Blue Yoshi trapped behind a wall. The Dry Bones may throw bones over the bros' heads. Go to the back wall and hit the buttons so they match the colors of the knobs to the left. This will make a grate appear. Position the bros in front of the gate. The babies will see a set of buttons in front of them. Hit them to match the knobs in front of the gate. The knobs on the gate will light up as they match. When they all match, the gate opens. Talk to the Blue Yoshi to get him to help. The north room has lots of enemies, as well as an item block with Ice Flowers. They're like Fire Flowers, but they may lower a stat of the enemy instead of causing a burn. The northeast room has a Pink Yoshi trapped by spikes. Have the babies use the spring to reach a room with 6 holes. The rightmost hole leads to a bean spot. The middle hole leads to the Yoshi. Hit the button on the wall to make a path. The eastern room has another RC Shroober terrorizing a Yoshi. This one's an Azure Yoshi. Go past the grate to some running water. Approach the front wall and hit the robot with two drops of water to make it short-circuit and break the wall. Defeat the RC Shroober and Azure Yoshi helps push. All six Yoshis cooperate and the rock starts moving.

The rock opens up the passageway to the pipe. The Yoshis follow the path. Go after them. The pipe leads deeper into Yoob. Down here is an egg factory where the Yoshis are put into eggs. Go south. The Yoshis are trying to push another rock. Send the babies up using the spring and move the bros to the northeast corner, where there are eggs in boxes. Have the bros hit the boxes to send the eggs up to where the babies are. With good timing, hit each egg with a drop of water to send it into a hard surface, where it cracks. This releases a Yoshi to help push.

To the south is a room with enemies and "trunks". To the south is a room with the Yoshis, who will give you stuff. Return to the room with the "trunks" and go north. You'll meet a Toad there. His name is Toadbert, but he can't remember anything. It makes his head hurt to think about it. The only thing he remembers is a dim memory, which he sketched. He doesn't know what it means. It shows Peach using the Cobalt Star against Princess Shroob, but parts of it are covered up. He woke up in Yoshi Village and was eaten by Yoob. He says that Yoshis trapped in the eggs will be reborn as monsters. Up ahead is a monster blocking the exit. Ahead is a Save Book.

The monster ahead is guarding some eggs. Toadbert tries to tell it to let the eggs go, forgetting that Toads are cowardly in nature. The monster throws an egg and it cracks, revealing Baby Bowser. The battle begins. It's Sunnycide, a pun on eggs, sunny side up. You'll want to get rid of the eggs first. Cracking an egg releases a Yoshi to help push a rock on a ledge above. He'll throw the eggs at you.try to land on them. Once there are no more eggs, attack him until he makes more appear. He'll also inhale the bros to try and heal himself. Once five Yoshis are on the ledge, they'll roll the rock into him, flipping him on his back, revealing his weak spot. Cannonballers is a great Bros. Item to use. He can still attack. He'll pull a cord to turn off the lights. A Boo will appear to attack the bros. Other times when he pulls the cord, a hole will appear under the bros. Jump to avoid falling in.

After you defeat Sunnycide, the exit he was guarding opens up. Some eggs fall through, including Baby Bowser. When you're ready to go, jump down the exit. The bros land back on Yoshi Island. Some eggs and Toadbert land on Luigi's head. Yoob stops moving and you'll can't explore it anymore. Stuffwell thinks the eggs were its fuel. Toadbert takes the eggs back to the village and the bros follow.

In the village, Baby Bowser's telling the Yoshis he saved them so they'll give him Yoshi cookies as thanks. They believe him. He gobbles the cookies when the bros appear, thinking that's what they're after. His stomach hurts and he spits up the Cobalt Star shards. The Yoshis think it's magic. The shards smack him far away. Stuffwell had no idea they could do that. Toadbert explains the bros helped the Yoshis, who jump for joy. The bros return to the present.

Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time -- Part 3: The Battle for Cookies

Sooner or later, you'll want to return to Bowser's Castle and Toadwood Forest to pick up the beans lying around, and get the beans in the castle. When you're done, you should have around 29.

When you're ready, talk to Gadd. Stuffwell explains that Baby Bowser has the two Cobalt Star shards we retrieved. Gadd says a lot of time holes have popped up lately, namely four around the castle. The one in the second floor's library has strong Cobalt Star readings, so Baby Bowser's probably in the area it leads to. Before we go, Gadd suggests checking on Toadsworth in the garden.

In the garden, Toadsworth the Younger is standing on the Elder's head, trying to entertain a crying Baby Peach. They execute a Spin Jump, calling it the "Toadsworth Twist". Her Majesty is amused. Luigi requests that the Toadsworths teach them the move. It's the same as before, but Luigi stands on Mario's head.

When you're ready to go, go upstairs to the second floor to the library. Stand on the bookcases and Spin Jump to others. There are some items in the area. To reach the time hole, Spin Jump towards the back wall, where you can walk around. Pick up the babies from the pipe block. The time hole is to the left.

The bros wind up in a lush green area with great music. The melody is part of the Yoshi Village music from Paper Mario. Go east. You'll see a large set of shoe prints in the ground. This is the village on Yoshi Island, but it's deserted. Check out the houses. In one house is a Koopa with a camera, wearing a beret. She's Kylie Koopa, ace reporter for the Koopa Kronicle. She says a giant egg just appeared and thinks it's connected to the Shroobs. She wants to use the spring in the corner, but it won't work. Have the babies use it. There are four Yoshis upstairs. They tell the babies to be quiet and loud footsteps are heard. The Yoshis run away outside. Outside is a giant Yoshi-like monster. It eats the Yoshis. Kylie gets some photos before being eaten as well, then spat out. Eventually, it leaves. Outside, the bros meet up with Kylie again. She says the monster is called Yoob. She also mentions a Magikoopa going into the house to the east, but is going to follow Yoob.

In the house to the east is Kamek, gathering snacks for Baby Bowser, who's on the cliff top. He's not going to deal with the bros for now and leaves. There are some items upstairs. Outside, Kamek runs into Yoob. Yoob eats him and spits him out, just like Kylie. Apparently, it doens't like Koopas. Go through the northwest house. To the west is a spring and the shadow of a block. Have the babies use the spring to reach the clouds. Hit the button on the block to put it within reach of the bros. Inside the next house is a pile of Yoshi cookies. Luigi grabs a few. Ahead is the pipe.

Kamek is ahead, but the bros won't let him by. To make the bros' lives difficult, he sets various fires in the area. Have Baby Mario approach the running water. The number near his head indicates how many water drops he can spit up. Having Baby Luigi hit Baby Mario with a hammer will make him spit up the water. Put out the fire to the east and keep going. You'll encounter Pidgits on flying carpets. Defeating the ones with money bags will give you more coins. In the next areas, you'll send the babies to the clouds. There are enemies there called Gnarantulas. Use hammers on them initially, because there are Gnarantulas with spikes covered by the fuzz. Also check out the bean spots on the clouds.

The path ahead will split. There are three areas you need to go to and extinguish the area's fire. This will allow you to hit a block that will make a larger block appear that you can use as a platform. The running water you need may be on the clouds. Go east first to make the red block appear. In the next area, accessible via the red block, go north and tunnel under the grate. Spit the water into both tubes. Have the bros Spin Jump to the green block. To the northeast is a puzzle that has you align blocks with tubes so that water will travel through the tubes to the fire. Hit the blue block and continue north. You may encounter Coconutters, who use spears. The position of the spear will determine if you attack by jumping or using a hammer. Go through the pipe ahead.

There's a tornado in the next area that allows you to cross larger gaps with the Spin Jump. This will scare away Kamek. The babies will take the lower path, which leads to a spring. This will allow the bros to reunite. Continue on to the next area, which requires hitting a ! Block to reveal a grate. This will allow the babies to reach some running water. In the next area, the tornado moves, so time your Spin Jump.

Near the Save Book, you'll see Kamek. Save, then approach him. The bros hide and spy on Baby Bowser guzzling Yoshi cookies. His stomach hurts, so Kamek gives him warm milk from an evil cow. Baby Bowser's okay with being in this ghost town because he gets to eat lots of cookies. The babies reveal their presence and the bros do as well. While they talk, the babies eat the cookies. Baby Bowser thinks they want his treasure, which is correct. He freaks out when he sees the babies in front of what was his pile of cookies. Kamek's going to deal with this.

Kamek starts off flying on his broom. He'll use magic to drop spike balls and mushrooms on the bros. Don't hit the mushrooms at him. He'll also split into five. We have a new Bros. Item to use called Smash Eggs. Kick the egg into the enemy until it breaks or the enemy is defeated. You might get an item from it. If you use Fire Flowers, hit the babies' buttons to hit airborn enemies. Hit the babies' buttons to add power to the next hit. When he takes enough damage, he'll fall off his broom. On the ground, he'll send a flame to hit the bros. It will hit him and he'll run into the bros. After he's defeated, he'll just lay on the ground. Time to chase Baby Bowser!
