PORT PRISMA CHAPTER 2- I
STORY
+Upon meeting up with Peach and Toadsworth...
TOADSWORTH: Master Mario! It’s relieving to see you alive and well!
Mario jumps.
PEACH: So we learned some information about Bowser Junior from a Red Koopa- we escaped after we heard what we needed to know.
HUEY: And?
PEACH: That horrendous black...thing that was dropped on Sunglow Ridge? Ludwig Koopa gave the order to test it! He’s been researching the properties of Prism Island’s paint- it’s very different from paint found everywhere else in our world.
LOUIS: Of course it is, pink Principessa.
TOADSWORTH: But here’s where things get rather...unusual. Apparently, young Master Bowser Junior was quite angry at Ludwig for giving the order. He’s given a command to have all the black weapons confiscated and brought to their hidden fortress.
Mario is thinking about this.
PEACH: I know, Mario- this isn’t like Junior. He loves making large messes. And Bowser- wherever he is- would find that weapon hilarious. Something’s changed...
Peach runs towards the town gate.
TOADSWORTH: Your Majesty, WAIT! How can I defend you if I’m not near you!?
Toadsworth runs after Peach. He then doubles back.
TOADSWORTH: Oh, I don’t think we’ve met, er...
LOUIS: Louis, Toadsworth. I’m a grande fan of Mario.
TOADSWORTH: Glad to have met you, Louis. The Princess would usually make time to acquaint herself with new friends, but she’s been concerned about Ju- PRINCESS! EXCUSE ME!
Toadsworth runs in a panic.

CHATEAU CHANTERELLE III
STORY
+With Louis in the party, a Memphawk boy takes his place in the chateau.
+The Cut-Out Zone for the Dragaddon Bone is gone. Instead, when Mario enters the backyard after the event at Marmalade Valley, Princess is already back at Chateau Chanterelle.
Princess just rolls over Orion as usual, then leaves.
LOUIS: PA-PA!
BRUSTACHE BOY: Oh, no! Mister Orion was crushed by that giant...thing! Now he’s going to be in an even WORSE mood!
Orion gets up. Thankfully, he’s not upset.
ORION: Hahaha! Don’t sweat it, boys! That was my family’s beloved Princess! Mario, Huey, Edwin, thank you for reuniting me and my figlio, Louis, with our sweet little girl. I suppose she’s outgrown her little house here, but I’m glad she was able to visit one last time. Chanterelle would have been happy, seeing the pwecious pet we raised together finally leave the nest- that freedom is her right. If you see Princess again, let her know that, wherever she ends up...I’ll be thinking of her.
LOUIS: We will, papà!
Orion is about to head in the house. However...
ORION: One more thing- I’ve got a little interesting find for you, as a small thank-you for helping me out! Come on!
+Inside the house...
ORION: Now...where were we, Mario? Of course...I was about to give you a small reward. A guy at the dig site was about to throw this out, but I thought you might find it interesting. But be careful! It’s as sharp as my bea- no, that’s not right- my eye- no, that’s going- ah...ern...something very, very sharp. Sorry about the analogy. I used to lead a team of elite fighters, not one of...um...good-talking guys. Wait! I’ve got it. It’s as sharp as the spine on a Spiny. There we go!
MARIO GOT THE SHARP SPIKE!

STORY
+After Mario and co. enter the door...
A fat guy and lanky dude jump before the door.
NEWCOMER! Wario
NEWCOMER! Waluigi
WARIO [ i.imgur.com/GZXpf3C.png ]: Weh-HEHEHEHEH! A Paint Star? Ooh- it-a sounds like-a trez-jore! And-a with trez-jore - SWEET, SWEET MONEY!
WALUIGI [ i.imgur.com/xktpcSZ.png ]: Heh-heh! Yeah, yeah, YEAH! Come to WaluIGI!
WARIO: Garrrrrr! You mean-a WAAAArio!
Wario starts climbing the wall.
WALUIGI: Hey! You-a stinky CHEAtor! Get-a back here!
Waluigi also starts climbing the wall.

+When Mario and friends arrive at the end of the lava course, there’s no Paint Star in sight. However, Waluigi falls in! ...this is followed by Wario landing on him.
WALUIGI: OWCH-a!
WARIO: Hehe! LO-ser! And if it-a isn’t Mario! Who’d-a thunk you’d-a get lucky with these-a temples traps, HMMMMmmm? Well, once I-a wipe-a the floor with you, I’ll-a take the trez-jore-WHAO!
Waluigi gets up from under Wario.
WALUIGI: NAH! I’LL-a take thee trez-jore! Weh-heh-heh!
Wario konks Waluigi on the head with his fist.
Waluigi pulls Wario’s moustache.
HUEY: Listen, you deranged Mario cosplayers- we’re taking the Paint Star!
LOUIS: Yeah, you falsari- feel the wrath of Mario’s number one fan!
WARIO: HURGH- you’re-a not done with-a the buckets, I-a see! That-a painty star is-a property of WarioWare Inc.’s-a boss! And he is-a me, WArio!
WALUIGI: GeeRRRRR! Be-a good leetle boys and-a jump in the lava, or WaluIGI will-a do it for you.
WARIO: Not if I-a throw you in-a first!
The battle begins.

+After defeating the evil duo with undefined relations...
WALUIGI: WAH! You-a stinky red man! You-a cheated! Just-a like Waluigi-a does at-a parties!
WARIO: Forget-a this! A star-a made of-a paint would-a probably just-a melt in my-a hands, anyways!
WALUIGI: You-a realized this-a just now?! You-a stupido!
Waluigi smacks Wario!
WARIO: I am-a not stupido, but you are-a skinny!
Wario and Waluigi fight each other over the edge. This ignites their butts, launching them out of the temple.
WARIO, WALUIGI: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

STORY
+When Mario and co. arrive, the Shy Guy does not have them registered in the list this time...
SHY GUY: Anyway, if you come back later, you can fight battles and win fabulous prizes. Such as...a Grand Paint Star. Unfortunately, the roster is full at the moment. And security’s busy keeping some unwanted guests out. Sorry, pal.
EDWIN: Did that fellow say we could win prizes? Let me at them! I’ll win the Battle Royal fair and square!
LOUIS: Or, maybe idraulico boy here could win it. I’ve seen him take on this island’s best fighter without wrinkling his cappello!
HUEY: Guys, guys! Let’s not forget the most important prize here- the Grand Paint Star! We need to get in now, or we’ll miss our chance.
????????: Yeah- maybe I can help pencil you in for an appointment.
Nastasia and O’Chunks arrive on the scene.
HUEY: I didn’t think we’d be seeing you two again so soon. What brings you here?
O’CHUNKS: We were jus’ checkin’ out the bro-churs for the whole bloomin’ island, tryin’ to decide where to go next. Been hearin’ from the local birds to check ou’ their coliseum! Bu’ it seems teh me those wee l’il turtle kids took it over!
SHY GUY: Sir, I’ll have you know that we run a legitimate competition here.
NASTASIA: Yeah, no- I have a better idea. You’re going to let us in, since you just found there were six extra slots in the roster.
SHY GUY: Uh, no- I’m not doing any of-
Nastasia hypnotizes the Shy Guy.
SHY GUY: Hold on one moment... Just as I thought! You’ve all been preregistered for the next Battle Royal already! My mistake! Please enter through the door to your right and stop by the pre-screening desk. Good luck!

+Upon entering the coliseum...
HUEY: Awfully dark in here, isn’t it? They’re really setting the stage!
O’CHUNKS: I’m not afrai’ o‘ no darkness! I can’t wait to unleash Fist Jr. an’ Slappy in a Battle Royal!
NASTASIA: Yeah- I guess it could be fun.
O’Chunks and Nastasia hurry ahead.

+At the prescreening desk, the lift is bent out of shape. Some Shy Guys are trying to fix it.
SHY GUY: Welcome to the prescreening desk. I’m here to weed out the unqualified. ...or, at least I usually would. Unfortunately, that purple-coated Vellbex busted the lift, so even if you were bad to the bone like her, I couldn’t let you in. Come back when the lift's repaired. By then, I’ll bet your inventory won’t be so bare-bones.
EDWIN: ...that was just painful.

 

[TyrorexDMZ]

+When Mario and co. reach the beginning of the top floor’s exterior...
HUEY: Whoa, we made it to the outer wall! Check out the view!
LOUIS: I know, right? My people really love the ideals the ancient Royal Family used in building the Gold Coliseum! My dad and I usually came here to just sit, talk and eat pasta! Just like my compagno, Mario-!
EDWIN: Louis. Enough. With. Fanboying. Over. Mario.
LOUIS: Whoa, Edwin, relax. I’m not trying to start anything-
EDWIN: Except talk about Mario. Doesn’t anything else go through your mind?
LOUIS: Can you really blame me, though, Edwin? I mean, you see how strong Mar-
Edwin glares at Louis.
LOUIS: ...Do you think this too, Huey?

HUEY: Oh, uh, er, you put me in a bit of a tough spot, Louis. I mean, I like Mario, too. And I care a lot about defending this island from invaders. Even Edwin there seems to be a little entranced by gold and girls. But I take interests in other stuff, too, so maybe-?
LOUIS: I- I guess you’re right.
EDWIN: (sigh) Louis, I’m sorry. It’s just-
LOUIS: No, it’s fine. I could try and think of other interesting coses to talk about.

+Also, some Musketeers sneak into the Coliseum via the walls.
DRYBAKE POKEY: Spnspnspnspn...it took me some time to sneak into the coliseum. Especially with security upped so greatly. But I really don’t appreciate those out-of-town Pokeys invading. And now, Aace brings that indecisive rookie in from Bowser’s army? What happened to “the pride of Prism Island?”
EDWIN: Wait...Aace already found someone else?
DRYBAKE POKEY: Of course he found some- wait a moment. You’re Edwin! Aace isn’t taking you back- that’s for sure!
A battle starts with the Drybake Pokey.

+After entering the back room of the Coliseum, but before the conversation about the boxes...
LOUIS: Hey, guys, ragazzi- before we go further, there’s something you might want to know.
EDWIN: ...
LOUIS: Don’t worry- it’s about the coliseum!
EDWIN: Very well- if you think we need to know.
LOUIS: That’s eccellente! So, remember how I said the ancient Royal Family built this place? They also used to hold various games here, to entertain the little bambini in the family. Building the Coliseum also helped the king make friends with other rulers, like the Dry Dry Ruins’ first Tutankoopa, or the Drybake Stadium’s Tower Power Pokeyhotep.
EDWIN: That’s all well and good. Now, if we can get moving and find a way to fix the gate, we can-
LOUIS: Whoa- I’m not done yet, little soffio! Eventually, the youngest of the Royal Family wanted to enter the games, too- especially the Battle Royal. Unfortunately, the king objected, while the Queen- she was busy with other pursuits. As a compromise, the king allowed his kid to enter the Royal Pets instead. However- things went molto south after that decision. The Royal Pets were so brutal with the competition, the original Battle Royale was eventually cancelled on account of so many injuries. There’s no easy way to say it, amico- those walls took tumilis of gold paint to hide the mess the Royal Pets left behind. It’s only in recent years the Battle Royal came back.
HUEY: I’m going to have to agree with you, Louis- I don’t remember there being any Battle Royal here when I was originally built.

+When Mario finds the Draggadon Bones...
VERONICA: Hey-yo, Mario. We have something for you. So get this- we heard one of the fossils from Marmalade Valley was STOLEN! And by Kidd, no less! Can you believe that girl? Using our keen Memphawk senses, we found it, drudged in this old room.
Veronica, Jonny and The Invisible CAAN stand aside.
VERONICA: Well, here it is. I thought you’d be happy with this old thing. So don’t hold back. You can give me a big hug, if you can take it. ...or you can hug the bone. An old friend told me you might do that.
Mario gets the Bone.
VERONICA: Wow! You held that up like it was a toy! What muscles you have! And with that...
All three Yellow Squad members salute.
VERONICA: Veronica, Jonny and Invisible CAAN...Over and out! We’ll report back to the Squad Captain at Port Prisma HQ until further notice. CAAN?
The Invisible CAAN destroys the box. All three Yellow Squad members leave.

ARTIFACTS
Draggadon Bone
Slots: 2
Effect: Prevents enemies from using dodge defenses.

+After Mario and co. get the Chomp Bone and exit the room, they see O’Chunks and Nastasia at the prescreening desk.
O’CHUNKS: ...come back when the doors are repaired? Buddy, I can repair the door wit’ jus’ one punch! Watch!
SHY GUY: Sir, waitwaitwaitWAIT!
O’Chunks punches the door. Sure enough, it straightens out.
SHY GUY: I...don’t believe it. You actually fixed the door! And just when we were about to give up!

O’CHUNKS: Yeh canno’ give up when a skinny l’il door stan’s refuses tah open. Yeh gotta keep at it!
NASTASIA: Yeah, O’Chunks- nice words and all. But, do you have a transcript proving this optimism?
O’CHUNKS: Ah dunna need some wee note fer proof- ah jus’ need tah give a chunkin’! C’mon, Nastasia- some fun awai’s!
O’Chunks and Nastasia walk onto the lift. The lift comes back.

 

[TyrorexDMZ]

+There’s actually two waves of enemies before fighting Iggy. The first wave isn’t really a wave, though....
Mario, Huey, Edwin and Louis arrive atop...
HUEY: Look, Mario! There it is!
Camera shows...
HUEY: The Topaz Grand Paint Star!
IGGY (voice): What the- you’re here, too!? HUWUHWUHWUH! And just after we ambushed the big guy and his girlfriend!
O’Chunks and Nastasia are tied up in the right corner. Nastasia’s eyes are covered by a bandana.
O’CHUNKS: I canna’ believe I walked righ’ inna tha’ one! When I get loose, Imma chunkin’ the green-haired turtle!
NASTASIA: I’ll come with you to that appointment, O’Chunks. After I regain my sight, of course.
IGGY: Get a hotel room, you two! The only way this could be worse is if-
?????: Mario! I’ve been looking all over this island to pick a bone with you!
A Goomba wearing Musketeer garb drops in from above.
LOUIS: Skydiving Goombas? Now I’ve seen everything. By the way, uh...who is that guy, Mario?
Mario thinks. He then shrugs.
MYSTERY GOOMBA: How could you not remember me, Mario! I’m the Goomba who that other Mario damaged. Ooh- I still feel it now, just thinking about it.
MARIO: ?
MYSTERY GOOMBA: You ruined my buddies’ wheelerific revenge against the other Mario and that green guy?
MARIO: ?
MYSTERY GOOMBA: ...You wrecked the awesomely giant Papercraft I was riding?!
MARIO: ! ...?
MYSTERY GOOMBA: Aw, come on! That one was a freebie! OK- how about this-?
NASTASIA: Hold on- I know that voice. Perry?
NEWCOMER! Perry
MYSTERY GOOMBA/PERRY [ i.imgur.com/dMH0LMq.png ]: Oh NO. Why are YOU here?!
NASTASIA: Yeah, you were that team player who helped detain the man in green. Even though ...it doesn’t matter anymore... I appreciate the spirit.
Mario looks annoyed at Perry over this. Meanwhile, O’Chunks looks sad.
O’CHUNKS: Nastasia...
PERRY: Well, good for you! I moved on to better things, though! I’m working with the Musketeers now! And for my first test- I’ll finally get rid of Mario!
A battle with Perry begins.

BGM- Megasparkle Goom... Battle [Original] (Paper Mario: Sticker Star [Recut])
MINIBOSS TIME! PERRY

HP: 80
ATK: 10 (headbonk), 2 x 5 (multibonk)
+Every turn, Perry can steal energy from the Partner Meter to permanently power up his next attack by 2. This stacks, by the way.
DEF: 0
MARK: Musketeer
+Unlike other minibosses, enemy card HP does not drop against Perry.

 

[TyrorexDMZ]

+After the Perry battle...
PERRY: Don’t think this is over, Mario! I’m not forgetting this fight, either!
Perry runs away like a punk.
PERRY: AAAAAACE!
After Perry leaves...
IGGY: Now I know why we didn’t bring that guy with us- he’s so needy. Any more interruptions from the Musketeers? No? GOOD! AHAHAHAHA! Welcome to the Battle Royal- the last fight of Mario’s life!
Several enemies come up into the arena on lifts.
LOUIS: Aw, no, fratello!
EDWIN: We can’t take on all of them! Even Aace would find this difficult!
HUEY: You’re right! There has to be a better way!
O’CHUNKS: Tha’s it- time to unleash a chunkin’!
O’Chunks breaks free from his bonds. He also releases Nastasia of her bandana.
NASTASIA: Thank you, O’Chunks. Now- why don’t we you and I pencil in a 3 o’clock battle with hordes of the Bowser group?
O’CHUNKS: You’re speakin’ my language now, Nastasia! CHUNKS AWAY!
O’Chunks and Nastasia enter the foray.
EDWIN: It’s nice of them to join us...but even now, we may still be outmatched!
HUEY: Maybe there’s some other way to take them all out at once... Let’s take a look around this place.

+Regarding the second wave...
+The Goombas are replaced with Dry Dry Pokeys.
+The Spikes are replaced with Clubbas.
+O Chunks is an independent field ally for Mario, with Nastasia trailing the big guy. O Chunks can take 40 HP worth of damage (which is balanced by the fact the normal enemies have their stats altered- mostly, their ATK is lower), yet defeats 1 enemy every 2 seconds. Once his HP is up, O’Chunks faints, and Mario is on his own.
+If Mario can defeat all enemies before O’Chunks faints, he gets 1 extra card for every 8 HP O’Chunks still has.

+Regardless, Iggy runs over the weakened O’Chunks, knocking him into the wall behind Mario.
NEWCOMER! Iggy
NASTASIA: O’Chunks!?
Nastasia hurries over.
IGGY: AHAHAHA! You should see the look on your face! No really- can we get a mirror over here? Ah, forget it... Let's tear this plumber apart!
http://i.imgur.com/5Cr8fPR.jpg

+Due to being a Chapter Boss, Iggy retains his BGM from the actual game.
BOSS TIME! IGGY KOOPA
HP: 220
ATK: 14 (magic wand), 16 (shell attack), 20 (chariot super attack)
DEF: 0
MARK: Koopaling
+While not a card anymore, the Draggadon Bone’s equip effect prevents chariot enemies from dodging. Partner attacks also do not trigger enemy dodges.

+ After defeating Iggy...
IGGY: UGH! I lost? That's embarrassing- I just rubbed it in those Musketeer's faces how much better I was than them! Just take the Topaz Grand Paint Star and get lost! Shut it down! Show's over!

Iggy runs off.
UNKNOWN ANNOUNCER: *ahem* Is this thing on? Uh, today’s winner is...Mario and his team!
Mario and co. play to the crowd.
EDWIN: This is pretty exciting, actually!
LOUIS: So magnifico! Such applause! I never thought I’d fight alongside my amici in the Memphawk’s stadium!
ANNOUNCER: Put your hands or equivalent appendages together for [...]
[Later in the cutscene, after the Topaz Grand Paint Star lowers...]
LOUIS: Come on, Gonzales. Let’s go get it!
?????????: I knew you’d be able to reclaim our Coliseum! Excellent job, figlio!
Mario and co. turn around. They see Kolorado and Orion arrive on the scene.
LOUIS: Professor Kolorado! Papà!
KOLORADO: You all performed splendidly, old boys! With Bowser’s minion gone, I can check around this ancient stadium for more Artifacts! There’s probably SEVERAL pieces of history just sleeping below the sands!
O’CHUNK: Ooooh- I dunna feel so good...
Everyone turns around to see O’Chunks and Nastasia.
NASTASIA: O’Chunks- I’m so sorry! I saw that green member of the Bowser group coming, and I should have sai-
O’CHUNK: Nastasia, me lass- ‘tis fine. Even if there were somethin’ ter git grangly ‘bout, ah dinnaw see ‘im comin’, either. We’ll jus’ go take a teeny rest in Port Prisma, then we’ll ‘atinue our vacation.
O’Chunks walks off with Nastasia.
O’CHUNKS: Be seein’ yeh, Maria! Yeh’ve gotten stronger since we las’ fough’!
NASTASIA: Yeah, I’ll catch you another time, Mario. Does a 6 o’clock tour sound good.
Mario nods.
NASTASIA: We’ll call it a date.
O’Chunks and Nastasia get on the lift down. As they do, though..
O’CHUNK: Ah....ah....ah-CHOO!
O’Chunks sneezes on a strange near-invisible switch, activating it.
After the lift leaves with O’Chunks and Nastasia, a huge statue rises out of the sands.

ANNOUNCER: I don’t believe it, ladies and gentlemen! It’s a statue under the coliseum! And it's getting in the way of our games!
KOLORADO: What a find, old boy! But...it looks incomplete.
ORION: Maybe- there’s more pieces to this statue. Why would the King create something strange like this...? Was it just an art showcase? Or is there something we’re not seeing?
Everyone is thinking about this- except for Huey, who still looks shocked.
KOLORADO: ...never you fret, old boy! I’ll stay here and inspect the statue’s attributes. In the meantime, Mario should grab the Grand Paint Star and restore more color to the island.
Mario nods.
