SACRED FOREST II- GIANT
STORY
+Upon re-assembling the Green Rescue Squad...
CLARA T: Roll call!
PEPPA T: 1
BEEYEW T: 2
SUGA T: 3
WHITTIK T: 4
CLARA T: And I make five! The family’s all together again! Green Rescue Squad! Commence Operation TURN UP! To your positions! Well, I guess they’re already in position. Mind lending us a hand, Mario? You can bring up the rear. Don’t make this weird.
This time, due to the lower number of members, they can’t quite pull the turnip out.
HUEY: I get the feeling that, oh, I don’t know, THERE’S NOT ENOUGH OF US!
LOUIS: And the other members are probably busy with their own missions, too.
Mario thinks.
? ??????: Looks like Maria needs ma pipin’ muscles again fer this piped plant!
Everyone looks around.
HUEY: O Chunks? How’d you know we were here?
O CHUNKS: How’d I knew yeh were here? Simple- this weird cat, he starts spoutin’ weird goobly gunk about vegetables eating people, pushing instead of pulling, and directed me here!
???????: But I didn’t direct you here. You acted out a path to take there. Maybe you’re not the apprentice listening to the master, but the teacher guiding the student.
Catguru shows up.
EDWIN: Man, Aace could take lessons from this guy. This cat’s been around.
CATGURU: I have been to Round places, young Edwin. Which isn’t to say I haven’t also been to triangular, square, and even cubic locations.
EVERYONE ELSE: ...
O CHUNKS: Eh...yeah. So anyways, yeh need me teh help give yeh lot a pull? Yeh got it!
LOUIS: I’ll bring in some extra muscle, too.
O Chunks, Louis, Mario, and the Rescue Squad pull on the turnip. It pries the turnip free, athough it squashes Peppa T.

PEPPA T: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! ...ow.
CATGURU: Well done, green ones! You didn’t fail! By pulling this vegetable from its nightmarish prison, you’ve pushed it towards the fruits of a dreamy paradise!
+Upon inspecting where the turnip and pipe were.
HUEY: GAH! We managed to pull the turnip out, but the pipe came out too! The whole point of pulling the turnip was to go through the pipe!
LOUIS: Hey, what’s that? Maybe try pulling on it?
+After the mini-pipe comes out...
MARIRANA: Would yeh lookit that? A new pipe grew in the same spot! Nature works in my’sterious ways.
CATGURU: The end of one existence can lead to the beginning of another. Until next time...
Catguru vanishes body first, then head, then smiling face.
HUEY: ...Seriously, who is that cat?

STORY
+After emerging out of the normal pipe...
HUEY: Ah, finally the forest is normal sized again!
LOUIS: My dad says it’s just that one part of the forest.
A few seconds later...
LOUIS: The other part of the forest, though- well...see for yourself, amico.
Huey looks at the sign for a second.
HUEY: (quietly) Oh! Weird. The writing on this sign is SUPER TINY. Why do you think it’s so small? And why am I whispering?
+Upon approaching the Mini-Paint Star...
EDWIN: A Mini Paint Star! Here?! And no boss guarding it? That’s...a little too easy.
Huey looks happy.
HUEY: Well, no complaints here. Grab that puppy and let’s move on.
Right before their eyes, Perry steals the Mini Paint Star.
HUEY: GAAH?! It vanished!
EDWIN: It was that Goomba from the Coliseum! The one working for Aace! Come on- we have to-
HUEY: Huh? My back feels...itchy.
Huey turns around. A Quincada is on his back.

HUEY: GAAAAH! It’s moving! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!
Mario uses his KO Hammer to send Huey flying.
HUEY: WAS THAT REALLY NECESSARY?!
EDWIN: You asked!
Huey calms down.
HUEY: I mean...thanks. Now where were we? The Paint Star, right!

 

[TyrorexDMZ]

+When Mario and Huey find the second Paint Star Shard...
HUEY: Huh? How’d a piece of the broken Paint Star end up here?
PERRY: I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU FELL FOR THAT!
Mario, Huey and the partner turn around to see Perry and some Quincadas.
PERRY: If you think I’m giving that shard up to you without a fight, you really are stupid! You make your brother look like a genius!

Perry runs off.
PERRY: AAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!
After Perry leaves...
EDWIN: What does Aace SEE in that guy?

+At the Sacred Tree...
TOAD KID: Please, Sacred Tree, hear my plea. I wish to join the Rescue Squad. Please! ...Wow, this Sacred Tree is just as giant as the rumors say!
The Toad Kid walks up to Mario.
TOAD KID: MARIO?! ...YOU’RE HUGE! Do you eat Mushrooms or something to get that big? They’re not doing much for me!
MARIRANA: Oh mah GOSH! Yer ADORABLE! But Mario isn’t huge, suga- yer tiny!
TOAD KID: Aw, I’m blushing, big lady. I came to ask the Sacred Tree to get me into the Rescue Squad. But since I’m a micro Toad, there’s no way they’ll let me in! You gotta help me grow up! I’ll wait at the Rescue Squad headquarters in Port Prisma. Though it might take me a while to get there with these tiny legs...

+Regarding the second conversation on the Quincada army...
HUEY: Psst! It’s me again! We’re having fun playing with your party game. You want to join? Anyways, a Paint Star piece is...(rest of line)
+Upon finding the small pipe...
LOUIS: Well, amica, that’s a pipe. But it’s tiny.
+Upon finding the Sideways slit...
MARIRANA: No way I’m goin’ in there, suga’. I’ve seen this b’fore.
Mario goes in without Marirana anyways.

[TyrorexDMZ]

STORY
+Upon hitting the cardboard box...
DEN T: (...) Now that you’re here, I’ll leave the rest to you!
Den T stands up. He then salutes.
DEN T: Den T of the Blue Rescue Squad, reporting for duty! Since I’m nowhere near my beautiful Captain, I’ll report back to Port Prisma HQ until further notice!
Den T runs off.
LOUIS: Say “salve” to Wrodes for me if she’s there!

+When Mario reaches the Shy Guy rally, it’s not a generic Snifit giving the orders...
NEWCOMER! General Guy
BGM- General Guy Theme [Original] (Paper Mario 64)
GENERAL GUY [ i.imgur.com/rwS2Yjh.png ]: LISTEN UP, MEN! We’ve received reports that our enemies have infiltrated the base. They’ll be using covert tactics, so I want you to search this place from top to bottom, back to front!
SHY GUYS: Sir, yes, sir! Top to bottom, back to front!
+Upon destroying the fence...
GENERAL GUY: Strong work, men! You found one of them. Now, listen up! Mario may have gotten lucky against me once, but that was playtime compared to now.

All the Shy Guys turn around.
GENERAL GUY: Stack up, soldiers! GO! GO! GO!
SHY GUYS: Sir, yes, sir! Stacking up!
+After defeating the Shy Guys...
GENERAL GUY: My men... Decimated!
General Guy walks up to Mario.
GENERAL GUY: Even when they stacked up, they didn’t...stack up. Retreat!

General Guy runs deeper into the base.
MARIRANA: Guess the l’il critter ran off WITHOUT his tail be’tween his legs.
HUEY: HAH! I get it!

Rather than a Rescue Squad member, three normal Tornado Jump cards are hiding behind the box.

 

[TyrorexDMZ]

+The Rescue Squad member at the start of the Fence Room is replaced with a Blue Koopa.
BLUE KOOPA: Lady Luck laughs at my persistence! Do you notice these three fence panels? Verily, I believe one is the weak link. But regardless of my approach, NEVER do I guess correctly. Remember your time as a Musketeer, Edwin! Show me what real luck is!
EDWIN: Uh...right. I’ll get on that, pal.
+Upon figuring out the final weak fence...
BLUE KOOPA: My lads, that was exquisite! The luck just radiates off you, like a star! And with that, I can rally the others...

ARTIFACTS
Lanky Basin
Slots: 1
Effect: Single target attacks inflict +4 the damage on the first hit.

+The Café in Fort Cobalt is run by a Red Koopa. ...or is it?
RED KOOPA: You, uh, sure you want the special?
Yes.
RED KOOPA: ...very well. Just act natural, and lend an ear. This café is but a façade. Truly, I’m a highly trained superspy who can brew a latte worthy of Redpepper Volcano. I’ve been informed there is a card which exists on this island that renders this base’s superweapon but a poor joke. And here they are. Use them when the time rings true. *wink*
MARIO GOT THREE TAIL CARDS.
RED KOOPA: I collect new intel like an ancient clock, so check back with me if adversity arises.
The Red Koopa looks happy.
RED KOOPA: Thanks for stopping by. Please come again.

Wrodes is in the vent, alone. Mario must hit the vent three times to get her out.
WRODES: I snuck in here like a total warrior, and got stuck in there, also like a total warrior. But I’m strongest when I’m near the others. Wrodes of Blue Rescue Squad, reporting for teamwork! Since I’m nowhere near the others, I’ll report back to Port Prisma HQ until further tagging!

+Stabyl T is the one in the locker next to the café.
STABYL T: (...) Stabyl T of the Blue Rescue Squad, reporting for duty! Since I’ve been separated from Captain Verda, I’ll report back to Port Prisma HQ until further notice!
http://i.imgur.com/PDJa5Gq.jpg

+After defeating the Snifit, it changes into a Boosketeer.
BOOSKETEER: Egad, Sir! Such frightening strength! I donned this nightmarish disguise to infiltrate enemy ranks, as per Aace’s orders. But I hadn’t a clue of what I would gaze upon, on account of that suffocating mask! ...though permit my apology for such a childish insult as “big nose”. Perhaps now, it is time we beget our invasion...
The Boosketeer flies off.
EDWIN: This must be a new plan of Aace’s. He never mentioned wanting this crummy base before I left. Something must have changed.

 

[TyrorexDMZ]

Kanviss is on the treadmill in the exercise room. Meanwhile, the other two Rescue Squad members are replaced with Spiked Guys.
KANVISS: *huff* *huff* *huff* *huff* Would you be... *huff* *huff* Ma- *huff...rio? *huff* Care to *huff* engage in *huff* some *huff* jog... *huff* ...ing *huff* with *huff* me?
MARIRANA: If yer permittin’, sugar!
Mario, Huey and Marirana join Kanviss in her exercise.
KANVISS: Phew! That’s quite enough for today.
Kanviss salutes while straddling in place.
KANVISS: Kanviss of the Blue Rescue Squad, reporting for duty! As I’ve been separated from Captain Verda, I’ll report back to Port Prisma HQ until further notice!
After Kanviss leaves...
HUEY: Whew! That was a good workout.
MARIRANA: You got tha’ righ’, hon! It’s been a’hwile since I got mah heart in the beat!

Rather than a Rescue Squad member, there’s a Green Koopa underneath the exercise room.
GREEN KOOPA: (after thanking Mario for freeing him) Here- I found these under the General’s bunk bed. He confiscated most of them from his squad.
MARIO GOT 3 TAIL CARDS!
GREEN KOOPA: Relaxation, here I come!
The Green Koopa runs off.

+Just before Mario enters the boss room...
???????: Alright, our loyal, friendly Musketeers...LET’S SEIZE THE BASE!
Cucleer and Pitholl arrive, along with a gaggle of Boosketeers and Blue Koopas.
One of the Shy Guys eating a Magma Burger notices them.
SHY GUY: And on my break, too. UGH...
PITHOLL: How can you CLAIM to show LOYALTY for your general if you take BRRRREAKS! You wouldn’t even make a good COSTUME with that laziness! OH, the inner conflict- oh, the inner conflict!
SHY GUY: ...yeah. Uh, hold on one moment.
The Shy Guy takes a bite of his Magma Burger.
SHY GUY: Mmm....that’s good Magma Burger.
Without warning, the Shy Guy unleashes his fiery burp, burning a Blue Koopa and Boosketeer to ashes.
BLUE KOOPA ASHES: Most uncouth, masked sir.
SHY GUY: GUYYYYS!
A ton of Red Koopas and Slurp Guys show up.
CUCLEER: Ah, how adorable- they actually think they can beat us....WELL, IT’S NOT HAPPENING! CHARGE!
The Koopaling minions and Musketeers fight.
EDWIN: Well, at least they’re occupied. While they’ll busy fighting each other, we can focus on the general.

+If Mario exits to the world map and re-enters the room from the south entrance again...
PITHOLL: YOU must wait your TURN, plumber!
Mario and co. get shoved aside.

 

[TyrorexDMZ]

+When Mario arrives in the boss room...
??????? ???: At arms, Mario!
Mario and co. turn around.
??????? ???: I’ve been waiting for too long, sir! Ludwig designed this weapon specifically for you. I’m going to enjoy this far more than I should. Gaze upon its splendor! Cower in fear of its might!
The door opens. A giant battleship comes out.
GENERAL GUY: BEHOLD! Our new anti-Mario weapon! And I had such a great name for it! Unfortunately, Ludwig pulled rank and called it... (sigh) ...Ludwig’s Megabad Super Battleship of Doom. But I’m a professional, so I call it the Super Ludship. Enough about that, though...ISN’T IT MAJESTIC?
The camera shows the “back” of the Ludship.
GENERAL GUY: But you did trespass a little, uh, earlier than we anticipated, so we had to cut production a bit...short. And I don’t care for that, sir.
MARIRANA: Quit yer braggin’, l’il white feller! There’s a Gran’ Paint Star here- Huey here knows it!
HUEY: You can’t hide it from us! I can smell things. Things normal paint cans only dream of smelling!
GENERAL GUY: Affirmative, grunts. I do have the Azure Grand Paint Star. But do you really think I’m going to let Mario botch ANOTHER job for me? If you really want it, you’ll have to get through me and the Super Ludship! TASTE DEFEAT! CHARGE!!

+When the battle begins...
GENERAL GUY: First step- Operation Explosion! Face the wrath of my cannons!
+After Mario reflects the first cannon balls...
GENERAL GUY: Hmm...a counterattack. Of course you’d have Tanooki Tails, sir! Calling the attack units- stand your ground! Or air, in this case. Queue the Red Paratroopas!
???????: Roger, Sir!
+If Mario tries to attack the ship directly...
GENERAL GUY: Of all the...after what you did to my tank, did you really think the Ludship would be just as flimsy?!
+After inflicting noticeable damage...
GENERAL GUY: Grr! This ship’s defenses are failing against that tail attack! Another maneuver I have to counter now! HAMMER BROS! Front and centre!
HAMMER BROS.: YESSIR!
Two Hammer Bros. show up.

+After the ship goes down, a familiar looking tank pops out of the water, onto the dock...
BGM- General Guy Battle (Paper Mario 64)
