Realizing this, the bucket kind-of sort-of guilt trips the gang into helping him. This unusual event is followed by some good news- a Yellow Mini-Paint Star on a nearby cliff. Kidd tries to make small talk with Huey and Edwin, but they’re not really laughing. Now, alongside only taking half the damage even without a shield, Junior can use a rainbow blast inflicting Burn, Poison, Wet and Tiny on Mario all at once. This time, though, instead of a lightbulb, General Guy has a Bob-omb cannon he can throw his explosives into. Suspicious, Nya demands Kidd tell our heroes where she obtained the device. By the time most of the minions depart, the only Musketeers in Mondo Woods are Aace and Perry. O’Chunks is edgy, while Nastasia is having flashbacks of some kind. Clarifying that’s his nickname, the bucket finally introduces himself as Huey. Junior more than proves to know the value of teamwork even with an unsure ally, for Motley is actually pretty good at support. Simple- Switch between picking a card and choosing an enemy to attack or Mario to buff. The seven partners are sucked into Splotchleek Bossblob, and the clown closes his hand. For all the two cooks have done, Marirana thanks them, heroically proclaiming they’ll save Ellshe from Kidd. Chaos! Though annoyed at such a setback, the Koopa King and Jibberjay Knight keep trying to fly over the holes until they reach the other side. As the Squad Captain exclaims surprise at the Ancient’s arrival, Merlon explains there’s something he wants to tell the sunglassed Vellbex concerning Port Prisma. The battle with Morton begins. Before Shroomsday can finish speaking, Shroomsday Blob starts disintegrating towards the ceiling. As Shroomsday is about to correct Bowser, the space master notices a rabbit hole high above. Confusingly, though, it’s a ball. This prompts O’Chunks to divulge it comes from his desire to protect Nastasia, as well as all his other friends. It has some incredible writing and setpieces but is held back by having to actually play the RPG part. Most of them are kind of jerks, while others are jittery. They find a sign about Paint Thieves, who look an awful lot like the Shy Guys they’ve been seeing. Mario almost curses wasting coins on those cards- then he fights Roy. In turn, Starmageddon’s clone finds astonishment Shroomsday survived instead of Sporepocalypse, mocking his partner for focusing on longevity over style. With patience and persistence, Mario is able to total the sub, forcing Ludwig onto Baabeaussa’s ship permanently. It’s a bizarre battle against Splotchleek’s Black Koopa All-Stars. Mario, Huey, and the nameless Shy Guy return to the pale Mini Paint Star. Nevertheless, he supervises. Everyone in the crowd is confused at Nabana’s very existence, with one Boosketeer thinking Khairacles is pulling a prank. However, a purple vine swats Bowser away from the star, which in turn is encased in a purple crystal. They arrive, followed by the Brustache. This one sentence draws everyone to their possibly-steel sidekick, hanging on Huey’s every word. One more explosion from the biggest Bob-ulk, and Bowser’s history! One with the elements, Kitanu reveals he senses something Huey embarrassingly admits he should have remembered while helping Ellshe- a door even further into the workshop, which may hold something Toadsworth can use. Before Edwin can correct Huey regarding the big burly comment, Louis has a troubling thought- if neither the Koopalings nor Musketeers sent Pesshi to Peach, then how’d he get there? The other members of the Yellow Rescue Squad. Huey is just wondering where the paint was brought to, something Marirana points out the next Grand Paint Star might know. Woo-oo. What’s weird is the Phantom is unable to truly speak, frustrating Mario and Toadsworth to the apparition’s intentions. As it turned out, the King of Prism had already taken the gold off the island during his rule, for some unknown reason. …Despite the foreboding nature of the door leading into this room. Huey’s thought is interrupted, however, by the presence of a Blue Mini-Paint Star. With that path unavailable, the gang try to look for an entrance into the cave of Spoings. Mario and friends follow suit, only to be confused when they see the adult pirates debating at the entrance. Following a few failed attempts, an exhausted Mario and Kidd look at both tiers of the maze, wondering what they’re not getting. With it, Mario can rematch whoever’s DNA was on any strange object he brings the contraption. She's also incredibly loyal to whoever she serves and works with, such as the King of her own dimension. Griini the Lakitu recognizes the Pianta as Bolue. Mario is therefore relieved to learn that two Red Squad Brustache boys, Staupp and Vinn, listen to the call of duty and head straight for Ruddy Road when asked. The battle finally comes to an end, and Mario & friends step out triumphant, while the King duplicate is about to explode. Due to the heavier focus on battle gameplay, the damage most field obstacles inflict is dramatically decreased, usually to less than half their original strength. Azure takes the Mario gang above the skies of Violet Passage. At the Squad Captain’s command, Stabyltu, Den T, Kanviss and Wrodes are tasked with heading back the way Mario came to assist Verda. Edwin quickly explains the Koopalings and Musketeers have been fighting on Prism Island for some time, while not hiding his own profit-driven agenda. Bella T empathizes with Marirana, as she knows how awful it is when sisters, or family members, fight with each other, yet she also reminds the Beepboxer they’re still family. Now that the tables have turned, Mario and Nya continue their assault, and finally defeat the kootie pie of a Koopa elite. Regardless of what other danger is present, the Goombas definitely don’t want to stick around for Shadhema. Instead, he finds it more prudent to fess up that his false body would be no match for his now-sealed partner or her remaining minions. He really sells the defeated attitude, too, and Blubawks begs his master to collect himself. To Toadsworth and everyone’s surprise, the new Kitanu answers it’s because Toadsworth is Peach’s closest friend. Walking deeper and deeper into the Workshop, our heroes notice Huey’s joy at arriving in this location. Color splash on the wii u a gamefaqs message board topic titled somebody help me with snifit or whiffit. Mario and friends want to go talk to Baabeaussa, but the Lakitus are overseeing the pirate crew. Click here to view the whole plot for Chapter 1. His pride wounded again, Perry runs off swearing revenge, like a punk. Of course, the three varieties of Fuzzies and the two Dayzees, Crazy and Rebazy, think they’re hot stuff going up against a video game legend, but they’re put in their place in time. Though Suga T is spooked, she still thanks Mario and gives him a 1-Up Mushroom before leaving. Rather suddenly, Khairacles jumps out of the tent, forcing Perry to stall. (Ex: Shy Guy) Italic: Mini-boss. Annoyed by Shroomsday’s actions, Bowser’s woes on the Magikoopas is pushed out of his mind, and he decides the large mushroom is just a putz in battle. The same ghostly aura envelops Pointamo, and he vanishes like he was never here. Then, by saving the judgmental Pianta woman and kids from some Carrishrooms, Koopas and a Poison Blooper, Mario and the gang are given Super rank Syrup cards for their good deeds. The thing is Bowser’s a fire-breathing turtle dragon ox, all he needs to scorch both their tails at once. It was all an elaborate trap- the entire Rescue Squad and General Guy’s army are seated on the left stands, encased in webbed-up cocoons! Black Lemmy- or more accurately, Splotchleek speaking through Lemmy- gives Huey a round of applause for paying attention to the entity really in control. Downtrodden, Cucleer carries Pitholl away…. In short order, Mario and friends are joined by an 8-Bit Goomba, the first one besides Perry they’ve seen anywhere on Prism Island. As a result, instead of six dances creating stat-increasing items, the first five Grand Paint Stars simply give Mario the items. With great difficulty and irritation, the Shy Guys side up like a deck of cards. Khairacles’ hat falls off mid-tumble, revealing purple Dry Shrooms in his hair. Despite this part of Orion’s life now behind him, he encourages Mario and Louis to let Princess know he’ll be thinking of her if they come across her again, which Louis agrees to. Alleviating Mario’s concerns, a Blue Snifit quickly comes in, stashing Mario’s current deck away and giving him a rental deck for the game show. Further complicating matters is the security. Inside the reverse version of the cave are a plethora of Musketeer allied enemies. Eventually, Huey gives the clear, and our heroes open their eyes…to the sight of Huey clutching his stomache. Between the banana wielding Monkhaira throwing stale bananas, or previously Rougeport Pit exclusive arachnid Arantula just being creepy, any friendly face would be a breath of relief for the plumber. None of the original Hammer cards emit shockwaves anymore. Huey is concerned, and believes they should see if the kid’s OK. However, Huey’s plan with his new form is rather risky- he wants Mario to use the bucket as a shield to block Splotchleek’s attacks. As Edwin sympathizes with the two ex-baddies, O’Chunks lifts the gate up. Inserting the Another into the Pod’s DNA reader, the team are brought to the Koopalings’ Castle. When Toadsworth persists being a stick-in-the-mud, Kolorado chastises the elderly mushroom for lacking a sense of adventure. Bowser turns around. Marirana squees at Huey’s strategy- it’s perfect! Edwin, Louis and Marirana eagerly introduce themselves. After performing this task, Ferress reveals the parts have all been overhauled, feeling connected to the train like the island’s King and his creations. Huey first shows Mario how the front of the gate looks like stairs from a certain point of view. To Mario’s credit, his inclination for exploration pays off, as he finds a Chilly Pick Artifact hidden in a storeroom of the massive battle building. Marirana then makes a joke about General Guy running without his tail between his legs, prompting a simple laugh from Huey. However, the fact of the matter is Shroomsday only sent Bowser and Jaykan to the volcano to prepare for the final confrontation, because our protagonist’s next and final opponent is Shroomsday himself. Everyone looks down, to see a Ninji with a pink bow-tie, a sight that shocks Mario. In order to keep his island and daughter safe, the King rallied troops of Wizzerds and Corona Golems, as well as loyal Vellbex soldiers, to repel the intergalactic invaders away. Rather than a generic Toad, Toadsworth accompanies Mario and Peach to the island. A nearby Pianta sailor explains Kidd and some monsters she tamed have taken over the nearby ship. While O’Chunks is busy with Shroomsday’s tendril, a panicked Shroomsday informs Aace of the Koopalings creating and using the black paint in Black Bills. When the gang head to check it out, something is coming out of the lava. Before he even finishes his sentence, the Amp Battery unleashes divine justice upon Huey, using him to connect the heavens with the earth and re-energize the Plant! When Bowser provokes the mysterious guide to come out and face him, the guide decides to meet the Koopa King on these terms. The Violet Grand Paint Star eventually brings Mario and friends back to Port Prisma’s fountain, filling it with her royal purples. When Mario actually talks to him, however, he learns a different Local Nut has the key. If Mario loses, instead of getting a game over, he’s simply sent back to the surface. Worried, the Memphawk boy runs Kersti to the other Regale Trainworks workers to aid her. Since the Brustache is in no condition to cook, he asks the duo to take his place as head chefs. Everyone hightails it off the tracks, and the train runs over what’s left of the machine. Peach and Junior try to warn Motley about it, but he doesn’t listen until it’s too late. He’ll take Splotchleek and the black paint far away from the Mushroom World, so it can never hurt anyone ever again. The tearful cherry on top the mourning cake comes in the form of the tree’s flowers just blowing away, negating what the gang just did a little while ago. When Jaykan is afraid Bowser won’t even say goodbye, Aace himself painfully recalls one of his own failures, mournfully informing Jaykan a sad truth in life. Jaykan thanks Bowser for the save, but Bowser doesn’t mind. The only change is Mario and friends are no longer holding back, acknowledging they can’t afford to jinx their jumps or botch their blows. Mario proceeds to fight the two Shy Guys. The mushroom bugaboo further defies expectations and more politely asks Kersti to PLEASE stand aside. As soon as they descend, Pierre explains he finally plugged up the hole, as well as found a flag to hoist. Sledge is there, waiting like he said. Last on the tour across space is Sacred Forest for the third time. It only takes Louis a bit to realize it’s not Pitholl or Cucleer speaking, but Shroomsday through them. All his fears gone, Mario plows through most of the insects. "Endlessly Hungry Petey Piranha Battle" is used for the EX Mode's bonus boss fight against Petey Piranha. Edwin follows up his victory by pulling Mario up the water tower with the pole attached to it, launching him onto a cliff with an opening and some ? Luckily, Gulliv T has finally broke free of his web cocoon thanks to his memories of his Mini days. As Mario and friends reply to Nya, they realize something unusual. Since Aace is a Boo, he must have found out about the workshop over his life. The sight of the flower motivates Redd to tell his own story about Piper. To allow Leelee to follow at least some of her duties, Bowser suggest Leelee report to her superior part of the truth, that she saw “a large Koopa and Jibberjay”- but not the whole story. This is followed by a strange contraption, the Defiled Compass, coming into contact with Bowser. Nya and Huey get the conversation refocused- the Koopalings’ bomb factory has been destroyed, so all Shadhema has to do is surrender. To everyone’s confusion, several Boos and Boosketeers doused in Dark purple power are there. The two are just…talking and joking about unimportant things, like old friends. Edwin apologizes for his behaviour to Marirana, revealing he hasn’t had any friends for a while, though he adds that’s still no excuse. With the spread of so many eldritch beasts, Mario’s priorities shift back to Golden Coliseum. If Bowser stays silent, he’ll regret it forever. However, the relationship between son and father strained due to Junior’s insistence Shroomy could talk, as well as the general creepiness of this particular Dry Shroom. To say he’s troubled serves little justice in fully describing his tortured soul. To the south of them is a mini-pipe, something Louis points out. Even one of General Guy's troops got caught up in the act- a Dry Bones grabbing him while it was on the trapeze. The next room is more orange in coloration, with slightly stronger adversaries. With great force, it sucks Edwin, Louis, Marirana, Nya, Kidd, Sledge and O’Chunks towards it! Back in Port Prisma, our heroes do just that and head to see Leblaanc. As the gang search for “it”, they follow a Shy Guy to a Sledge Bro wearing shades and his gang. Simply put, nothing they can do could serve as a justified response to the Anti-Guy’s words. Huey is, of course, alert to the sheer damage such a large amount of this ammo could inflict upon the world, while taking a guess why manufacturing is still continuing. About 1/100th of the way through his speech, Shroomsday is interrupted when O’Chunks shoves the mushroom’s words in his mouth. This is part 1 of Paper Mario: Color Splash for the Nintendo Wii U. The mercy rule for escaping has been changed from "Cards= 0" to "Current Turn= 3 or 3<". There’s no more time for talk, as Motley chases after Bowser Junior, firing magic at the young prince. Even better in Merluvlee’s eyes was the Shadow Queen being imprisoned in her palace. As O’Chunks and Nastasia leave, though, O’Chunks sneezes on a nearby switch. The Koopa King’s dreams endear him more to Jaykan, the young bird beaming with glee. Huey muses the irony of Ahant only needing to look inside himself, which Edwin half-heartedly repeats…. Mario also obtains three copies of Pitholl and Cucleer’s cards. Nastasia, however, does remember the Goomba by his voice and actual name- Perry, the Goomba who defected on Luigi when the green plumber needed someone most. Wasting no time asking what the Koopa is seeking, Chugga T urges Kolorado to hurry on the handcart, and both guys start trading pumps after the Sunset Express. But he’s interrupted when Shadhema mistakes the elderly Toad for Starmageddon. Eventually, Mario and friends decide to skimp on Merluvlee’s story for now, and go see Piper’s friends instead. …Unfortunately, the tendrils disintegrate as soon as they make contact with the enormous ammo. They arrive just in time, too, as the show begins. However, Kidd’s simple peer pressure entices Huey to reconsider and state his business now. Appreciative for Mario and Marirana’s help, Vinachio recommends the duo head out to spy on the kids’ reactions. The thing is creating a black paint ENTITY requires a series of circumstances that are incredibly difficult to replicate- black Prism Island paint, royal energy, and Shroomsday… or someone infected at some point with his difficult-to-remove scent, like Bowser. And the color of the paint that leaves the cannon is black. Finally, Shadhema decides she’ll no longer let these images bother her, holding Mario responsible. What’s left behind is a dark purple blob, taking Bowser by surprise! Shortly after, Pitholl and Cucleer arrive to give Aace assistance. Filled with a little more confidence, Huey does a little stand-up routine where he does an impression of a normal tin can. Being the polite metal guy he is, Huey knocks on the door. Mario tries simply picking each fence once. Defying all expectation, the quiet laugh of a certain star princess is head, and something glows under Toadsworth’s helmet. For I am Grima, the Fell Dragon.”. Huey’s answer then inspires Ellshe to ask if there’s more buckets like him. Once again, Mario calls upon his partners’ abilities, from Louis’ Leaps to Nya’s Vanishing, as well as a little Sound Boom Blasting from Marirana and a little Edwin Suction to fix what’s out-of-order. It should go without saying, but everyone except Huey feels misgivings towards such a foreboding name. Even Aace had to admit his student was just a shell of her former self. And sure, they even recolor all the blank spots on both the high and low parts of the Warp Pipe so non-one’s forced back again. Nabana is a little uneasy how much Roy is shaking his cannon, but Sporepocalypse’s initial confusion turns to terror once a dark thought on what Roy wants comes to mind. …a simple body similar to the only species who lives on Prism Island, the Toads. The sight of all three Royal family miscreants instills anxiousness in the past goats, and they back off.
