CHAPTER 7
KOOPALINGS’ CASTLE- UPPER FLOORS AND BASEMENT ENTRANCE
GAMEPLAY
+The hallway leading to Peach’s portrait is mostly covered in black paint. Therefore, Toadsworth is needed.
+At the points where there isn’t black paint, there’s rubble blocking the path. O’Chunks away!

STORY
+On their way to the castle...
LUIGI: Well, it sounds like you’ve been on quite an adventure, Bro!
DAISY: But at least we can help you out with the driving!
NABANA: Shadhema ‘oman, here we come!
LUIGI: We’re getting a-close...to something.
The team sees something in the distance.
LUIGI: MAMMA MIA! It leads to a giant creepy rock in the sky!
DAISY: Don’t get blue feet at the last minute, Luigi!
NABANA: Yeah, mon! Everyone in dis kart’s worked way too hard for you to chicken out!
LUIGI: Hold on! I’m-a gonna floor it! Hopefully we don’t fly off the road. Lakitu’s not a-here to save us!

+Eventually, our heroes arrive at the Koopalings’ castle...covered in graffiti and stickers.
LUIGI: THE KOOPALINGS’ CASTLE!
O’CHUNKS: So...this is where the chariot-rider lived? I’ve seen nicer castles.
DAISY: It looks like they redecorated when they got here.
NABANA: Maybe this is the reason why they hid Princess Shadhema’s crypt so well, mon- it reminded them of this. Something about the decorating seems familia’, though. It must be those stickers.
LUIGI: You guys be-a careful in there, OK? I’ll...I’ll just wait here. You know. In case you need a ride back.
LOUIS: Thanks, Luigi, brutha. If anyone gives you any trouble, just give them that mean stare you showed us earlier.
HUEY: Alright Mario. Let’s go save Princess Peach.
O’CHUNK: An’ Kersti!
EDWIN: And stop Shadhema!
MARIRANA: And prove tha’ I can connect with new people!
NYA: And finally leave this Eclipse Empire behind as a memory!
KIDD: And figure out if there’s a cure for my boy’s condition!
TOADSWORTH: And find out if I’m truly fit to be the princess’ second hand!
LOUIS: And show we are united!
Mario jumps.

When Mario and co. enter the castle...
HUEY: LOOK! It’s Princess Peach!
O’CHUNKS: What ‘av they done teh yeh lassie?!
HUEY: They’re drained her color and framed her like some kind of pretentious art!
O’CHUNKS: Then let’s go refill ‘em!

When Mario and co. enter the trapdoor...
HUEY: OK. Shadhema’s a crafty princess.

TOADSWORTH: Indeed. But I’m thankful we’re not surrounded by vagabonds!
?????: I prefer the term “bad guys” myself.
Without warning, Perry and, surprisingly, a bunch of Goombas spin in around Mario.

TOADSWORTH: *sigh* Perhaps it would have been wise not to say that.
PERRY: What’s the matter? This many bad guys too much for you? Talk to the foot!
Perry and all the Goombas rush towards Mario and co.

+Midway through the battle...
PERRY: You’re pretty tough- I’ll give you that! But with Shadhema on my side, I relearned an old trick! Remember when I fought you at the fortress in the Decal Lands?
Mario shakes his head.
PERRY: Really?! I was the Goomba on the left! ...You know what? Maybe I’ll just give you a reminder of what I was like under ol’ Megasparkle...except for talking like a loon. Alright, boys!
All the Goombas form a 3x3 grid.
PERRY, GOOMBAS: ACTIVATING- GOOMBA! GRID GOLIATH!
PERRY: You’re going down!

Mario vs. Goomba Grid Goliath

+Near the end of the battle...
The Grid Goliath disassembles, leaving Perry and the other Goombas exhausted.
PERRY: We can...hold it together! We just have to try again, and-!
GOOMBA 1: Yeah, uh, I got a clarinet lesson. In the dungeon. Which your new boss took over. ...good luck.
The first Goomba walks off.
GOOMBA 2: Rock and I are watching his lessons!
GOOMBA 3: Yeah! It’s gonna- it’s totally gonna be great, Mirty! With all the, uh, music notes and stuff!
Rock and Mirty run off.
GOOMBA 4: ...you know, we don’t have an excuse. We just think you’re a jerk.
Goombas 4-7 run off.
Goomba 8 is about to run off.
PERRY: Gary! Wait! Don’t leave me, too!
GARY: Sorry, Perry. I mean, I understood when you sold out Luigi to that blue lady why you jumped ship. But this time? You have a problem at this point. Come back when you know who’s side you’re on.
Gary runs off.
PERRY: Gary...no...
Steam blows out Perry’s head.
PERRY: You’ll PAY FOR THIS, MARIO!

+After defeating Perry...
PERRY: I don’t get it! I thought if I learned under Aace, I could start over again! But my friends hate me even more now! WAAAAAAAH!
EDWIN: Perry...buddy...If you join just for strength, you’ll end up far weaker than before. And if you join for coins, like I did...you end up a poorer person.
Edwin gets two coins out of his coin bag.
EDWIN: Here’s my two coins. Use them to buy a sense of loyalty. Then you’ll become a valued fighter, for whoever you serve.
PERRY: You...you think so, Slur- Edwin?
Edwin looks back at Mario and Toadsworth. He then looks at Perry.
EDWIN: I know so.
PERRY: Maybe I’ve been looking at this all wrong the whole time.
Perry takes off his hat.
PERRY: I’m not a Musketeer...
Perry shakes his head, loosening his beard.
PERRY: I’m part of Bowser’s Army, the Koopa Troop!
Mario nods.
TOADSWORTH: Ah, splendid! So I suppose we can have the portrait of Peach back?
PERRY: ? Portrait of Peach? The Princess is here...?
EDWIN: She’s...in the hallway above us.
PERRY: But we haven’t seen Peach since we took over this castle...You go find Aace! I’ll find my friends! GARYYYYY!
Perry runs off, towards the path into the factory.
HUEY: ...no, it couldn’t be. But it’s the only other explanation...

KOOPALINGS’ CASTLE- UNDERGROUND FACTORY
GAMEPLAY
+The moveable staircase is gone. Instead, Louis is needed to reach the upper belt.
+Instead of Bob-ombs, Mario needs to use O’Chunks to destroy boxes. Meanwhile, to ignite the Big Bob-ombs, Mario needs to lure an infinitely-respawning Beastshroom over.
+The rising black ink’s speed has slightly increased, requiring Kidd’s running ability.
+For the black paint running section, O’Chunks’ shoulder bash can be used to destroy large obstructions, such as the gate near the large Bill launcher.

STORY
+When Mario and co. get in the factory, they see Shy Guys carrying buckets on a conveyor belt.
EDWIN: What’s going on here? This is the sixth creepiest thing I’ve ever seen!
Mario and co. peer closer at the large buckets.
EDWIN: And look at those buckets! They’re like the ones attached to the airships! And if Morton’s bomb drop is any indication, whatever’s in the next room’s not gonna be pleasant.
HUEY: Why aren’t the Musketeers stopping those Shy Guys? Just what’s Aace and Shadhema planning?

+Under the stairs...
SHY GUY UNDER STAIRS: Those weird justice guys invaded the castle, so I’m hiding here! It’s not a good plan, but it’s the only one I’ve got...

+Upon entering the paint bomb belt...
HUEY: They’ve restarted making black paint bombs! They’re like the ones that fell on Sunglow Ridge and Mossrock Theatre. Remember those horrible messes? With this many bombs, the Koopalings wouldn’t just have ended Shroomsday’s game- but the whole world’s!

Mario and co. look over to the left.
HUEY: It looks like they’re pumping all of the black paint from that room over there. We HAVE to put a stop to this!

+Upon pulling down the flagpole...
LOUIS: Pulling the flagpole down never gets ol-
Everyone looks at Louis.
LOUIS: ...sorry. I know- the black paint. I’m not a fan of it either. Just trying to my mind off it. Like those Big Bob-ombs over there.
HUEY: Big Bob-ombs...?
Everyone looks behind. They see a fleet of Big Bob-ombs.
HUEY: Louis, you’re a genius! What if we blew them up? I bet they’ll be strong enough to destroy the black-paint tank!
LOUIS: I can get behind that, amico! Sounds like it’ll be MOLTO fun!

+When Mario and co. arrive at the conveyor belt, they see Perry and the other 8 Goombas.
PERRY: Mario! Me and the other Goombas’ll evacuate everyone else! Aace should be somewhere up ahead...
Perry and the other Goombas run off. However, Perry heads back.
PERRY: Be careful! There’s a reason Aace is the teacher, and I’m the student. The other Boosketeers respect him a lot...
Perry runs off again.

 

[TyrorexDMZ]

+When Mario and co. arrive at the conveyor belt, Aace is nowhere in sight.
EDWIN: That little Goomba tricked us! Aace probably never even came to this part of the factory!
????: *sigh* Why is it anyone I care about never wants to listen?
Aace suddenly appears from behind Mario.
EDWIN: Aace!
TOADSWORTH: So you must be the leader of these “Musketeers” I’ve heard so much of.
Mario looks stern.
AACE: I never meant...for things to turn ou’ this way.
EVERYONE: ?
EDWIN: But- you wanted to bring Shadhema back, right? You told me yourself- it was for a new world.
AACE: I jus’ wanted to see her face again. Wanted her to come home. Wanted to help ou’ the Squad Captain’s son. Wanted her to send this accursed black paint and it’s creator into another dimension. Instead...Shadhema hasn’ changed. I believ’d the best in her, but it turn’d out it was all jus’ an ol’ Boo’s memories. Where did I go wrong?!
TOADSWORTH: ...if it’s any consolation, my man, the Princess I serve tends to take her own road, instead of what I suggest. Do I wish she would listen more? Of course I do! But as much as I don’t agree with her choices, I know she has a good heart. And I believe your Princess may, too.
AACE: Well, if Shadhema does, she hasn’ shown it since she awoke. And yet- do you folks wanna know the real sad part in all this?
Aace retrieves his sword.
AACE: I still care a lot about her! You wanna duel agains’ her, you better prove yourself agains’ her teacher! Even with the King’s invention, I’ll fight to the las’ whisker!

MINIBOSS TIME! AACE II
HP: 240
ATK: 28 (sword slash), 8x4 (sword furry); 40 (spooky sword wave)
DEF: 0. Can turn invisible for 2 turns. Can turn invisible 2 turns after de-activating.
MARK: Musketeer
QUOTE 1: You will trouble Her Majesty no more!
QUOTE 2: What a mighty fine mess this became...All to see her again.
QUOTE 3: Prove how much you care abou’ this world!
QUOTE 4: I should have travelled with them more often...
QUOTE 5: While patience is a virtue, fellers, it’s not infinite!
QUOTE 6 (if Louis is out): Do you believe in yo’ father’s words, Orion’s son?
QUOTE 7 (if Edwin is out): Can you measure up to Shadhema, my ex-student?!
QUOTE 8 (if Marirana is out): I’m prepared fo’ your tricks this time, Misses Deeps!
QUOTE 9 (if Kidd is out): I’m...truly sorry ‘bout yo’ son...
QUOTE 10 (if Toadsworth is out): I don’ think you know wha’ you’re really pilotin’, sir...
QUOTE 11 (while invisible): You still don’t have readiness for this!
QUOTE 12 (near-defeat): A-a-hack...very- good..

+When the battle begins...
AACE: No mo’ practice! This time, I’m goin’ all out!
Aace turns invisible.
MARIRANA: Remember wha’ happened las’ time we fought this critter! He tries hidin’, ah can flush ‘im out!

+When Aace reaches 80 HP...
AACE: No...ah can’t jus’ give you this vict’ry! Otherwise, you folks won’ be ready to face Shadhema! You’ve forced me to use the ancient Boo technique...MUSKETEERS!
45 Boosketeers show up.
AACE: It’s fin’lly time, fellers! Let’s form AACELOSSUS!
BOOSKETEERS: AS YOU COMMAND!
The Boosketeers all converge on Aace.
Soon enough, a large version of Aace, with tiny eyes and attached Boosketeers, is formed.
AACELOSSUS: Yeh can’t defeat this technique, yeh can’t defeat Shadhema!

AACELOSSUS details- i.imgur.com/jU2GKZO.png

ATK: 50 (Aacelossus spook), 40 (body slam- poison if not blocked), Suck in (sucks in air to prepare for next attack), 2 x 45 (Aacelossus Blast)
DEF: Halves all damage. 3 “sharp” attacks (Drill Jump, Spiked Helmet) break Aacelossus apart permanently.
EXTRA QUOTE 1: Refer teh me as “the ghost with the most”!
EXTRA QUOTE 2: I shoulda recruited some o’the ghosts from Evershade.
EXTRA QUOTE 3: Could you hurry up...? I need teh use the restroom- after I find it in this mighty big maze.
EXTRA QUOTE 4 (if 0 hits of Aacelossus blast are blocked): Oh...oh dear. This bodes poorly for you.
EXTRA QUOTE 5 (if at least 15 hits of Aacelossus Blast are blocked): Well- a master of blockin’!

+If Aacelossus is dismantled...
AACE: ..e..excellent! Yeh figur’d out how...how teh dismantle a form only m-m-mighty powerful Boos can assume...*cough cough*

+After the battle...
AACE: You...you’ve outdone the Musketeers at ev’ry step of the way. No wonder...Shroomsday’s agents... transported the folded Brustache...to your Princess. Well done...yeh...lot. But now, yeh have...Her Majesty...teh duel with. She’s a...master of the saber...You’ll need...every advantage ...Please ....destroy this horrible factory...stop Splotchleek...save Shadhema ...from herself ... and tell her- tell everyone ...I’m so sorry-!
Aace explodes.
HUEY: He’s...he’s gone. Not even his hat. Wow- I didn’t think we did that much to him!
EDWIN: We didn’t. Aace just didn’t have it in him to go against Shadhema. I don’t know whether he was too brave or too cowardly. Mario?
Mario thinks.
HUEY: We have to finish this, once and for all. You heard Aace- this factory needs to go.

 

[TyrorexDMZ]

+After igniting the Big Bob-ombs and landing on the platform...
HUEY: It worked! So much for the Koopalings’ bomb factory...
Suddenly, the factory starts rumbling.
KIDD: All the black paint is flooding the room! THERE SHOULDN’T BE THIS MUCH! We need to hurry out of here!

+Upon entering the next room...
HUEY: Whew! That was close!
O’CHUNKS: Yeh tellin’ me, Huey! Ah never wanna see another drop o’black as long as ah live!
+As Mario and co. proceed further...
??????????: (black textbox) You shouldn’t leave...not without a little black paAINT!
The black paint enters the hallway!

+After permanently leaving the basement and returning to the upper floor, Mario and co. meet up with Perry and the other 8 Goombas.
GOOMBA: What happened down there?! Did you create a mess?
HUEY: You could say that, Perry.
GOOMBA: No, I’m Gary. That’s Perry!
PERRY: It’s OK, Gary. You just haven’t eaten your Goomnuts, yet.
HUEY: We’re just glad that WE’RE ALIVE! But now Princess Peach is gone...And so’s the black paint!
Mario and co. look down the hallway. Sure enough, all the obstacles are gone...
PERRY: Seriously, I’m telling you- we never saw a picture of Peach when we arrived. ...although...
HUEY: What is it, Perry?
PERRY: While we were waiting in the basement for you guys, we heard...strange voices.

GARY: It was the creepiest thing ever! “They will all feel the gift of black paint.”
Huey looks horrified.
GOOMBA 3: It sounded like the bosses were back...but they were all the same guy now. Even Wendy.
GOOMBA 4: Well, when you think about it, we’re all the same guy, too.
PERRY: Anyways, Shadhema’s up ahead. Prepare yourself before you fight her. Oh, and if the Koopalings come surface side, tell them Perry said hi.
The nine Goombas all leave.

+As Mario and co. cross the bridge...
HUEY: Before we go any further, there’s something I need to tell you all.
EDWIN: Yeah, Huey, buddy?
LOUIS: I’m all feathers, amici.
MARIRANA: Shoot, sugar!
NYA: You have my attention, metal one.
KIDD: Spill, Huey. Or maybe don’t. What am I saying?
O’CHUNKS: Anythin’, laddie!
TOADSWORTH: We’re listening, Master Huey.
Mario nods.
HUEY: You know...never mind. Now’s not the time. Let’s keep moving.
KIDD: ...Huey.
HUEY: You’re right...I really need to get this off my chest.
Everyone pays close attention.
HUEY: I feel like we’ve gotten to all know each other pretty well, guys. Ever since that day when Mario woke me up by crushing my face with a hammer. We’ve had some laughs, some hard times, some sadness, some victories...some mild electrocution. But through it all, none of you gave up on me- or on finding all of the King’s precious Paint Stars.
Huey becomes happy.
HUEY: So I guess I just want to say...thank you. Thank you all.
NYA: From one guardian to another, you are most welcome.
LOUIS: Right back at you, ferro pal!
O’CHUNKS: Ahahaha! Think nothin’o’it!
HUEY: No matter what happens next, I will always be grateful for your friendships.
EDWIN: Huey, buddy...I’m g-g-getting all teary here.
TOADSWORTH: M-m-maybe there’s tissues armed in this contraption.
MARIRANA: Y-y-yer such a sweetheart, Huey!
KIDD: H-h-hehehe. More like a lovable metalhead...You and Billy would be such good friends.

HUEY: Well, there’s just one thing left to do. Let’s go save Shadhema from herself, and stop the Koopalings!
TOADSWORTH: M-Master Huey, that’s-
HUEY: OK, you’re right. That’s two things.
As Huey and all the inactive partners enter Mario’s pocket...
HUEY: (quietly) And if I know HIM, it’s gonna climb to three pretty shortly...

KOOPALINGS’ CASTLE- FINAL BATTLE PART 1
STORY
+Upon entering the final chamber, the lights are dim.
When Mario steps forward, however, the torches all ignite. Up ahead is none other than Shadhema! However, there’s no Peach portrait in sight...
SHADHEMA: Oh, so you’ve finally arrived at my new castle! I was sure Aace would end you, though! Can’t the Musketeers do anything right- especially for a proper lady like me?!
KIDD: I need your help, Your Majesty. You have to give me some of your hair for a potion. It’s the only way I can wake up my boy, Bi-!
AACE: Oh, you’re the mother of that sleeping goat Aace was telling me about. What does my teacher care about some child he doesn’t tutor?
TOADSWORTH: Princess Shadhema, Aace...he’s no longer playing the game. He’s run out of continues. He’s-
SHADHEMA: Father?! Is that you in that silly toy?! I didn’t think you’d ever return!
TOADSWORTH: Shadhema-
The camera zooms in on Toadsworth.
TOADSWORTH: -I am not your father.
Shadhema is distraught!
SHADHEMA: No...that’s not true. That’s IMPOSSIBLE!
TOADSWORTH: ...No, it’s definitely possible. I just got arrived here days ago. But the point stands- even though I’m seated.
NYA: It is over, Shadh- Kersti. We have already destroyed the Koopalings’ bomb factory.
HUEY: Surrender now, and we’ll draw a nice sponge bath so you can clean up your act!
SHADHEMA: ...how DARE you! You have the penicillin to hijack the inventions of His Highness?! Then ruin a day of fun by destroying that ugly factory! And now you DEMAND I surrender!? Well, then, Rusty...
Shadhema summons two Musketeer sabers.
SHADHEMA: Bow before the Eclipse Princess, and soon-to-be-ruler of the world!

[TyrorexDMZ]

+After Shadhema is reduced to 350 HP...
SHADHEMA: I fear this is not going to work for me. Oh, I know- here’s a little gift!
Shadhema bestows Megasparkle status upon Mario!
HUEY: Mario! She’s trying that trick from before! Please tell me you equipped the Artifact from the Workshop before we began fighting...
+If Mario doesn’t have the Luma Sponge equipped, Shadhema will continually use Eclipse Beam until the second phase.
+After Shadhema’s reverse Megasparkle strategy is cancelled out by the Luma Sponge...
SHADHEMA: That sponge! Yet another one of my father’s inventions!? Very well- this plan of mine is no longer useful.
Shadhema’s hands glow.
All status effects are cancelled for Mario and Shadhema.
SHADHEMA: Do not think you’re out of the jungle yet, red plumber! I have more tricks up my poofy sleeves!
HUEY: Kersti, please- we have to stop fighting! Remember our detective agency? OK, we never started it up, but-
SHADHEMA: AUGGGGH! Stop calling me my pet’s name! You know nothing of me! No-one does! ...but a detective agency does sound quaint.

+After reducing Shadhema to 250 HP...
SHADHEMA: You are proving far more tasking to end! Allow me to unleash my true nature.
Shadhema’s whole body glows.
When she stops glowing, her dress has pink spikes on the side.
SHADHEMA: Behold- my space form! With this, I’ll rend you apart in a rainbow of destruction!
+Two turns later, if Mario hasn’t reduced Shadhema to her next HP threshold...
SHADHEMA: This form tires me. It’s about time for a change of pace!
Shadhema glows again. This time, she’s red with green spikes. In addition, her back hair is an orange bun, split down the middle.
