Chapter 6-1: Sammer Guy Showdown  [CH61]

"Under the looming shadow of The Void, the world slowly drifted toward demise.

 But not all hope was lost: two Pure Hearts had yet to be found. Could our

 daring heroes find them? Or was the world doomed to be devoured? Mario, Peach,

 and Bowser ventured through the next door to find out..."

--------------------

The Sammer's Kingdom

--------------------

Tippi: The Void... It's enormous here... Much bigger than it is in Flipside...

       This dimension must be very close to destruction...

Tippi: We'd better hurry... We have a Pure Heart to find.

Voice: Ahhhh... So you run, coward. You disgrace your family's honor.

Sammer Guy #1: Another unworthy opponent... When will this "hero" of legend

               appear? Time is running out, and still he refuses to show his

               face!

               you mean to challenge me!

Tippi: His name is Mario. He's not here to challenge you...

               guardian of the 1st gate. Prepare for game over!

               revealed himself... You may go to the next gate.

Tippi: What "next gate"? What is going on here...?

             yourself in, challenger!

               ruler of the Sammer Guys!

             reward for your victory, I shall allow a glimpse of my

             treasure... Behold!

Tippi: That's...a Pure Heart!

             your worth by defeating my loyal vassals in a tournament!

               through generations. "When a great hole appears in the sky, the

               world will soon be devoured." The tempest in the sky grows

               larger by the day. It must be stopped!

             reading... Ahem. "Only one thing can stop The Void: the great hero

             must be given the Pure Heart."

             are the true hero. Yes, I shall reward you with a Pure Heart if

             you best my other 99 Sammer Guys!

King Sammer: I'm sure I'll be on the edge of my throne throughout this

             thrilling tournament! I will await your arrival at the palace. The

             tournament has begun... Let skill decide!

       Guys... You'd better get started. You have a lot of fighting to do...

 After one of the battles, a Sammer Guy steps in]

               your gates?

               Palm belt... Perhaps they will forgive my selfish quest for dark

               slapping power... As for you... You may pass!

               shamed us...

Bowser: Who's the creepy clown with the cape... Count Bleck!

             the Chaos Heart. The light of each world will be snuffed out one

             by one...

Count Bleck: You QUESTION Count Bleck?! This worthless world's destruction

             matters not! Far better for Count Bleck to wipe it out of

             existence than let it remain!

Tippi: How can you say that? That's...horrible!

             Bleck on what is right and wrong?

Tippi: This is not up for discussion! You're wrong...and sick! All living

       things have a heart. They're all priceless. You can't just...erase them!

             worthless...

             mattered in the least to me...

             don't let that stop you from trying to find a Pure Heart you will

             never acquire! BLEH HEH HEH HEH! BLECK!

              ACCIDENTALLY SQUISH KING AGAIN...

Chapter 6-2: The End of a World  [CH62]

-------------------------------

"With The Void encompassing the entire sky, the end of the world was at hand.

 The pressure was on for the heroes to find all the remaining Pure Hearts.

 Would regal King Sammer be willing to part with his most precious treasure?

 Leaving an army of Sammer Guys in his wake, Mario stepped into the palace..."

--------------------

Sammer's Early Duels

--------------------

             Count Bleck. So the legends ARE true... Our ancestors truly did

             foretell these days!

Tippi: King Sammer, we're sort of in a hurry, here. The Pure Heart, please...

King Sammer: You haven't defeat all of my 100 Sammer Guys, but the situation is

             grave... Oh, why not! Just for royal giggles. The treasure sits on

             the 26th gate. Go claim the Pure Heart you so richly deserve!

 a bomb appears, then it explodes]

King Sammer: But... But... That explosion didn't even turn you black with soot!

             That totally didn't even hurt you at all! This stinks!

King Sammer: So you thought you'd just grab the Pure Heart? You guys are so

             dumb! Mimimimimimimimimi!

Mimi: Surprise! It's me, Mimi! You're so silly! Did you crazy heads think the

      king would give you the Pure Heart? The king's probably tucked all cozy

      in a bed taking a nap in the castle. ...Making cute li'l snoring noises

      while his world goes bye-bye!

Mimi: You DUMMIES! The only reason I'm even HERE is to get in the way! I'm not

      all soft 'n' cuddly like the count. Nighty-night! It's bedtime for you

      guys!

Mimi: That really hurt! You're just a big bunch of bullies who hit cute little

      girls! But it doesn't matter an eensy teensy bit, hee hee! Everything's

      perfect! ...What, don't believe me? Look up at the sky!

Tippi: The Void... It's enormous now!

      time! Guess you'll have to give up looking for that dumb Pure Heart now!

      did warn you that I was meaner than the count! Anyhow, it's sure a big

      old bummer I can't stay to play more with you guys. But this place is

      about to go kablooooey! Later, meanies!

 when they encounter another Sammer Guy...]

Tippi: We've got to make it! We can't fail now. Not now! We've come so far.

 Mario and the others to go back to Flipside]

--------

       And who is he? I can't remember...

Bowser: Urgh... Whuzzat? Whozere? Bwah! What's going on here?!

Tippi: I'm a little discombobulated myself, so it's hard to say... At the very

       least, we seem to have returned to Flipside...

                Heart...

       wonder... Do we dare go back in... Yes. Yes, I think we should go back

       through...

-------------------

Chapter 6-1 (Pt. 2)  [C612]

-------------------

Tippi: There's...nothing left.

Tippi: Wait... I can feel something very faint. It's the Pure Heart! I can't

       believe anything is left here, but we have to go take a look.

 trek down the hallway...]

Tippi: What's that over there?

Tippi: Could that be... It's a Pure Heart!

       this world. Something about it seems odd, though...

Voice: Heh heh heh... This place is pretty bland now, isn't it?

Mr. L: Heyyy, what's going on here? Looks like your Pure Heart got broken. I

       guess Pure Hearts can't handle the end of the world. Heh. But, eh,

       whatever. I'll swipe it just for kicks.

Mr. L: Ahhhh...it's you. I couldn't miss that trendy red-shirt-blue-overalls

       combo. Heh.

Tippi: You're that creep we fought in outer space!

Mr. L: How about that Prognosticus! Anything the count doesn't like... POOF! It

       never existed. Look, I've got to run. Stay out of the count's business

       if you want to live.

       greasy, greasy man!

       brobotics. Meet my new friend... BROBOT L-TYPE!

Mr. L: Preposterous! Why? Why can't I win?!

Tippi: Well... It might be because you're weak...

Tippi: Hmmm... You think you might have seen him before? It's all probably just

       in your head...

Tippi: He must have dropped it when he ran off. But this Pure Heart, it's...

Tippi: It turned to stone... I don't feel any kind of power radiating from it.

Tippi: We'd better take it back to Merlon... He'll know what to do...

"You got a Pure Heart"

Mr. L: I don't know what it is about those guys, but I just can't seem to beat

       them!

       again?

Mr. L: Oh, it's you again, Dimentio. I'm stumped. You'd think a giant robot

       would be enough to crush these heroes...

Mr. L: I'm a disgrace... There's no way I can show my face to Count Bleck after

       THIS.

Dimentio: You said it yourself. You can't go back to the count now. So get

          lost.

       inspiration enough!

          cobra! I can't have you around the count. If I am rid of you here, I

          won't be found out. And the others will never find you. Yes, this is

          my moment to grasp. It's time for you to take your final bow, Mr.

          L...

Mr. L: Hey, now! Whoa! What's this! You've lost your mind, Dimentio!

Dimentio: Ah ha ha ha ha. Shhhhh. Don't worry. It won't be so bad, I promise.

          I'll send those heroes your way soon, just so you'll have someone to

          play with.

"The destruction of an entire world was a great and terrible tragedy. But Mario

 and his allies had survived the cataclysm and found another Pure Heart. The

 end of that world had dulled the shine of the Pure Heart they had found. Was

 the Pure Heart's power lost forever? The heroes set out for Flipside to find

 out..."

--------------------

--------------------

Nastasia: Yeah, so just got a quick ping from Dimentio? We've had a little

          insubordination... Yeah, according to his report, our Mr. L took on a

          hero-fighting initiative... I accept full responsibility. It was my

          administrative breakdown that allowed this...

Count Bleck: I see, remarked Count Bleck... Well, what's done is done. This

             prophecy will not be fulfilled without sacrifice.

Nastasia: So, 'K... Um, and just another quick update on Mimi... Yeah... She,

          um, also left the castle.

          did something happen?

             anyone. Besides, it's far too late to do anything now. The

             prophecy has been set in motion, and no one, not even I, can stop

             it. No one can stop this now...

"Timpani! What did you do with her? I must see her!"

"Still your tongue, Blumiere... Can't you see you've been duped by a dirty

 human?"

"You have brought shame to my name...and to the entire Tribe of Darkness!"

"And so what if I did? That doesn't matter to me! She's my entire world!"

"Well, then it will interest you to know...that she no longer resides in this

 world."

"What... What do you mean by that?!"

"This is the price those who resist their own fate must pay, my son."

"She... No... It can't be so!"

"Someday you will see, Son. Our kind and humans must never mix."

        Pure Heart. Even if you set this in a Heart Pillar, it would do

        nothing. What to do...

       everyone...from destruction?

        this... But to do that, we will need all eight Pure Hearts, as the

        Light Prognosticus says. We are between a rock and a hard place...

       sad chowder!

          Pure Heart... Yes, sadly, your hard work was all...in...vain.

Dimentio: Ah ha ha. Yes, it does, and that's why I decided to give you a

          consolation prize...

Tippi: MARIO! Where'd you go, Mario?!

Dimentio: It's quite simple... I fulfilled their wishes! I sent them to the

          next world! Ah ha ha. You do know who I am, right? I am your enemy,

          Dimentio! I serve Count Bleck!

Tippi: It...can't be... Mario... No...

          ...HA! Just a little joke. People don't arrive HERE twice!

          Hahahahahaha!

Creature: Huh? What'd you say? "What's The Underwhere?" ...You're kidding,

          right? Man, for a guy with no extra lives, you're sure hilarious!

          Isn't it obvious? This is where people go when their games are OVER!

          Some call it "World -1"...

Creature: So how'd your game end, anyway? Poison 1-Up? Bad jump? Or did

          someone...

Creature: What? You say your game's NOT over? Hahahaha! Yeah, I've heard THAT

          before. Denial, always the first step. Maybe you just need to hear it

          from Queen Jaydes. She's the scariest thing in The Underwhere...and

          that is SAYING something. She rules over us Shaydes, and she'll tell

          you straight...your game is OVER!

              Overthere, Grambi... One of the Nimbis vanished from The

              Overthere, and he asked me to look for her. But I cannot abandon

              my duties here in the palace...and my D-Men are all busy. So it

              must fall to you! Will you search for this missing person in my

              place?

 - Yes

 - No

[When "Yes" is chosen...]

              but it would really help. The name of the missing Nimbi is Luvbi.

              Oh... And what is your name?

              you are busy searching?

              with Luvbi. And in its place, allow me to give you this.

              Some said it was a strange fellow dressed in green... That could

              not be Luvbi... Still, just in case, I would suggest that you

              check there first. This key will open a door to the underground

              waterways beneath the River Twygz. Please, I must ask that you

              search the area thoroughly.

Luigi: Oh, boy! How'd I end up in this stinky place? Count Bleck's underlings

       grabbed me, I remember that... Then... And then... Owahhhh... Oh, FORGET

       it! I just wish somebody would come help me!

Luigi: What? Huh? Why am I here? Well, I don't really know... I mean, where am

       I exactly?

       SAYING?! What does it all MEAN?!

       Count Bleck's baddies must've done me in, just like you guys, huh? Well,

       everybody runs out of extra lives sometime, right? So what should we do

       now?

Luigi: ...Luvbi? You're looking for someone named Luvbi? Hey, sounds good to

       me! I'm loaded with free time! After all, my game's over!

"Luigi has joined your group! As Luigi, press and hold the D-Pad down, then

        two men... And when the light returns, its brilliance will show the way

        to the last hero." Yes, as Tippi said, I think this fellow in green may

""I sought a prince, but nay! What I found were ancient men of hairy cheek.

 ...'Twas a horror, yea, and one that left by breath stricken in my throat."

 Luvbi kept up this refrain as she traveled with our heroes. She seemed less

 than happy. Still, she DID have a lot of energy... "Hasten thy chubby legs!

 Time waits not for those who slack!" Luigi, on the other hand, was elated that

 he and his brother were finally reunited. But Peach and Bowser were still

 nowhere to be found... Were they safe? ...So thought our heroes as they made

Mysterious Door #1: Now! Queen Jaydes demands I guard this door, people! I'm

                    Dorguy the First. Lotsa monsters around, folks. Lotsa

                    monsters. So I've gotta do routine checks, OK? Sorry for

                    the trouble, folks, but I need to make sure you're

                    trustworthy. Just a couple questions. Answer them all

                    correctly, and we're done here! Then you can head on

                    through.

Dorguy the First: Here's the first one! I'm warning you, though, these are

                  pretty tough questions, so use those noggins.

                  tomatoes and eggplants. Eggplants cost 7 coins apiece and

                  tomatoes cost 10 coins apiece, OK? D-Man A has 50 coins when

                  he goes into the store. He comes with out with 5 coins.

Tippi: We simply must reach The Overthere... But we don't know which way it

       is...

D-Man #1: The Overthere, huh... See that door on your left? It'll head you up

          there. But we can't open it right now. We've gotta guard this door.

          just in case.

D-Man #3: This thing's a BEAST, lemme tell you... Real nasty. If it starts

          rampaging again, I don't wanna be the D-Man who has to stop it.

          Problem is, until someone subdues it, we can't use the door to The

          Overthere... So...if YOU can tame it, we can open that door for you.

          Wanna give it a shot?

 - Yes

 - No

[If "No" is chosen...]

D-Man #3: Yeah, that's what I thought. You bump into any tough guys, you let us

          know, OK? 'Cause if someone can beat this thing... Well, we can open

          The Overthere door.

[If "Yes" is chosen...]

          one would ever be dumb enough to... Wait... Did you just say "yes"?

D-Man #3: Are you NUTS?! Y-Y-Y-You're SERIOUS?! You actually think you can tame

          that beast?!

          what... You head on in...and I'll mail your mustache to your next of

          kin!

D-Man #3: Look, my prediction? Your game's about to end. If not, we'll help you

          on your way. Give it a shot, champ!

        what's with the dark? And Peach isn't here...and I'm hungry! What did I

        do to deserve this?!

Bowser: Hey! Mario! ...And Tippi? Just you? Where's Peach?

Tippi: We don't know yet. We're looking for her too...

Bowser: So what you're telling me is that she's defenitely not here. I don't

        like this one bit.

        going! Yeah, you've been WAITING for a chance to fireball me in the

        back!

Tippi: Uh...no. We truly don't know where Peach is. We merely...

Bowser: Can it, you ugly little bug! I'll stomp the truth out of you! CHARGE!

Tippi: Bowser, I'm sorry to break this to you...but we're already there.

        over?!

       Peach...

Bowser: Why didn't you say so, idiot?! We could've been searching this entire

        time!

"Bowser has rejoined the party!"

Bowser: What're you waiting for?! Let's MOVE!

D-Man #1: Hey, it's you! And your game isn't over... Did you run away or

          something?

D-Man #1: Man, I can't believe it... Wow, uh... Thanks! You're a prime

          go-getter, pal! This key'll open the door that connects to The

          Overthere!

          people. I'll just stay on watch here. You two go find the rest of the

          monsters out there!

D-Man #2 & #3: WE'RE ON IT!

          here, right? Solution: put a little flame to the torch sconces you

          see on the walls! That'll light up the place for awhile. Careful,

          though, they'll eventually go out. If you know someone who can use

          fire, get 'em on torch duty, STAT!

Mysterious Door #2: Halt! What's this, then? Travelers have come?

Mysterious Door #2: Now! Queen Jaydes demands I guard this door, folks! I'm

                    Dorguy the Second. Look, I apologize for the intrusion, but

                    I've gotta run a quick security check, here. I've got a few

       me, you strapping young thing?

 - Yes

 - No

[When "Yes" is chosen...]

       is. And thanks for your help, yes...

          no prob, no prob. Just finished reading that bad boy, actually.

          a fad. But hey, thank that hag for me anyway, OK?

Hagra: Ohh, this is it, yes, yes. See, I'm getting a little...paunchy in my old

"Our heroes had found their way out of the dark and confusion of The

 Underwhere. Mario and friends now saw the sun shining brightly against a

 beautiful sky. This was the sky paradise Grambi called home, a place of joy

 called The Overthere. Somewhere above the never-ending layers of clouds

 waited Grambi himself. Mario and his friends began to make their way up that

 fluffy road to above..."

-------------

Luvbi: Ah me, blue skies again! If we continue upward, we'll soon be in The

       Overthere. Let us away!

Tippi: Yes... That sounds well and good, but we have yet to find Peach... I'm

       so worried...

Luigi: She's fine! I mean, she's Peach! She's gotta be fine, right?

Luigi: Erm, yeah... Kinda hard to say...but I wouldn't exactly call her his

       girlfriend.

       one-sided crush then, mayhap.

       canst! If thou climbest too slowly, the sun will set, so shaketh a leg!

 they come to cloud #43. This cloud has a door on it, which they go through. In

 that area, they find a sleeping Princess Peach]

Tippi: It's Peach!

       falleth into deep sleep. And I mean DEEP sleep... The kind thou dost not

       wake up from for a hundred years...

Bowser: You've GOTTA be kidding! Look, I'm a patient Koopa, but I'm not THAT

        patient!

Tippi: Luvbi... Isn't there any way to wake her up sooner?

Luvbi: Ah, but hold a moment... I do remember my father's words of long ago.

       Yea, he said one tree in The Overthere bore a taboo fruit that could

       waketh anyone...

       Marvelous.

Luigi: W-Well, we've gotta do SOMEthing! Let's go find any kind of fruit we

       can!

       I am SULKING!

 look for some fruit. They eventually find a Black Apple and go back to Peach,

 then they give it to her]

Tippi: It looks as though she's waking up...

                eat?!

Luigi: It worked! Yahooooooooooooo! Princess Peach, you're awake!

Princess Peach: Luigi?! You're safe and sound!

Princess Peach: Where in the world are we? And what was I doing here? I can't

                remember a thing..

Tippi: We are in The Overthere, Princess Peach. Dimentio's attack sent you

       here...

       me.

Princess Peach: Is that so... Well, it's nice to meet you, Luvbi.

       peaches?

Tippi: Ugh, don't worry about it...

Princess Peach: Oh, I must have caused you all so much trouble. I'm so sorry...

                but I'm so very happy to see all of you again! I'll try and do

                my best to make up for time lost!

Cloud: Hi, I'm Cyrrus! I'm a newborn cloud! Pleased to meetcha! I've got big

       dreams! Big ones! I wanna be the biggest cloud I can be! I heard about

       this one guy who could grow big just by eating a Mushroom. That would be

       SO COOL! If you find a big-making thing like that, give it to me!

Cyrrus: Will eating this make me big? COOOOOOOL! Then I'll try it!

Cyrrus: I did it! Now I'm a big cloud... From now on, just call me "Super

        Cyrrus"! No more little bitty cloud for me! And I'm real bouncy, so hop

"White clouds as far as the eye could see... Mario and Co. had climbed through

 clouds and finally reached The Overthere. "Odd. No party springeth forth to

 welcometh us," wondered Luvbi aloud. "It mattereth not. Father's shrine is

 just ahead, so we can walk there with ease." But they would not arrive at the

 shrine as easily as Luvbi predicted. Why not? Because something unexpected and

 dramatic was about to happen..."

[They go to Fallbi's boyfriend, who has an elevator down]

          Nimbis upward. I owe thee for thine help. I operate yon lift.

          Prithee, let me giveth thee a ride. Goest thou up?

 - Yea

 - Nay

[If "Nay" is chosen, nothing happens. If "Yes" is chosen...]

 He eventually unfreezes the elder]

             thee for that one! Thou art super!

Whibbi: I am sorry, Luvbi... I could not stop yon beasts from entering Gambi's

        shrine. And the fiends wrecked the bridge once they crossed it... Help

        cannot reacheth them.

Bowser: Man, all I hear is CRYING! Show a little initiative! Can't we rebuild

        the bridge?

        and get their three orbs. Once thou hast them all, we can rebuild the

        bridge. Taketh this, and findeth the others... I beg of thee... Thou

        must help...

       Underwhere... And Grambi is in danger? If thou speakest truth, then

       many left...

Bonechill: Oh, you dear, ignorant child... You really don't know a thing, do

           you? How charming.

Luvbi: Th-That's... No... Thou liest! Father! Sayest something!

           none can stop me... I shall be INVINCIBLE! Please, as your game

        known as Luvbi...will cease to exist.

       should just... Wait... Why do I explain myself to thee?! Thou art not my

       real father, so QUIET!

       not long for this world! Why didst thou not let me have fun?! Nay!

       Instead, I suffered an angry fake father and a nagging fake mother! I

       had no life! How dost thou plan to make that up to me?!

Queen Jaydes: Luvbi!

        way!

        wait for?

       be a RELIEF!

        thy ill bedside?

       bought with my saved allowance!

        And thou didst lie to get the money, too! Thou didst pretend to buy

        schoolbooks!

       I thought that Mother and thee... I thought... Thou wouldst...be

       thee...

              Heart... But Grams and I came to love you as a true daughter. We

              wanted to be with you for all time, to protect you. You became a

              part of us. Perhaps we were wrong to create you...and if we only

              caused pain, we apologize.

       the...

Grambi: Luvbi...

       Such is my final wish, so if thou dost not do it, thou art most unkind!

Grambi: Luvbi...

"You got a Pure Heart"

""Heroes... My daughter wanted thee to save all worlds. 'Twas her final wish."

 Grambi spoke slowly through his tears as the brave Nimbis cleaned up The

 Overthere. Draped in sadness, Queen Jaydes walked slowly to her palace in The

 Underwhere. Mario, his friends, and the eighth Pure Heart were all that

 remained... This Pure Heart had come at a high price. Let us hope it was all

 worthwile."

             cannot be true!

Dimentio: Ah ha ha. Oh, I'm afraid so, my count. In fact, they will be here

          before long.

O'Chunks: Whuh?! Izzat true, then?! What're we doin' twiddlin' our biscuits

          'ere?! Count Bleck! Lemme go throw 'em a nice welcome party... I'll

          bring the punch!

Mimi: Ooh, I wanna party with those party poopers, too! Wait up, O'Chunks!

      Mimimimimimi!

[O'Chunks and Mimi leave]

Dimentio: Well, I'm not one to miss a party...

          a bell?

Dimentio: Oh, the mustache man's Pixl went on and on... She said, "I must stop

          Blumiere."

Dimentio: But I suppose there's no reason to pay any mind to the ramblings of a

          Pixl... Ciao for now, my count!

          There's still time! You can still stop the prophecy from destroying

          everything! Yeah, because, if that's really her... If she's alive,

          you have to stop all this!

             longer be stopped by Count Bleck. No one can stop it.

Nastasia: Yeah, I'm on board with what you're saying...but there must be a way.

          There must... Lord Blumiere!

Count Bleck: Now there is only Bleck! The Dark Prognosticus's choice to fulfill

             the prophecy! Nothing more!

             then come... BLEH HEH HEH HEH! BLECK!

"Blumiere, my son, don't! Even your ancestors could not handle that dark

 book..."

"If you open it...there's no telling what might happen!"

"I do not care, Father! A world without her is empty. A LIFE without her is

 empty."

"Speak, Dark Prognosticus! Teach your dark history! I await your command!"

"BLEH HEH HEH! BLECK!"

"Blumiere... What have you done?"

"Silence! The first prophecy beckons. I will erase every inch...of this

 blasted world!"

"Blu-Blumiere! Don't do this! Blumiere!"

"Blumiere is no more! I am Count Bleck! And no one shall stand in my way!"

"BLEH HEH HEH! BLECK!"

Before Chapter Eight  [BFC8]

Tippi: No! Blumiere! You mustn't!

Princess Peach: I thought you'd just gone back to town, but then I saw you

                lying there, not moving... And then...you started shouting

                loudly. I have to say, it kind of startled me.

Tippi: Um... I'm all right... I'm sorry for startling you...

Princess Peach: Blumiere... Is that a person's name you were saying? Were you

                remembering something from your past, perhaps?

Tippi: No... It's nothing... Nothing at all...

Luigi: So, should we go to Merlon's? We ought to tell him that we found the

       last Pure Heart!

[Mario nods. At Merlon's house...]

        it seems...

        day!

                look at the sky and worry. We must act quickly and ease their

                hearts and minds!

       happening?

        must. It was by Count Bleck's hand that the Chaos Heart was summoned,

        bringing this peril. Without him, the prophecy's power will wither, and

        all worlds can avoid their ends.

Tippi: Yes... I suppose you're right... I guess we always knew that, didn't

       we...

Luigi: Tippi? What's the matter, huh?

Tippi: Umm... No, nothing... It was nothing... I'm fine! Let's go!

        Heart in a Heart Pillar. Once you've done that, you must head back to

        the black tower in Flopside.

[They exit Merlon's house and proceed to Flopside]

--------

--------

 Pure Heart into it. This causes a big purple door to appear at the black tower

 of Flopside. As they head toward the tower...]

        of town! I'll go ahead there and wait for you... Once you've prepared

        for the battle that waits beyond that door, come to me...

        Prognosticus... Castle Bleck awaits.

Merlon: "Only those who have not abandoned hope can turn back the prophecy of

        doom. They walk forward into the future, no matter how dark and

        uncertain it may be."

        bright... I can't go through this door with you, but I send you with

        all the hope in my heart.

Bowser: Are we gonna group-hug? Enough pep talks, gramps! I'm doing this for

        ME!

Merlon: I don't know what is in your mind, but... If this is too hard for you,

        please feel free to stay behind.

Tippi: No... I'm going... I've decided. I must do this!

Merlon: Tippi, you've changed much. You've grown so strong... So! Be sure to

        return safely to me!

Tippi: Let's go! Let's defeat Count Bleck! Let's save all these worlds from

       destruction!

        battles harder than any you have endured thus far... If you feel ready

        to face this challenge, then please go forward.

Chapter 8-1: The Impending Darkness  [CH81]

-----------------------------------

"After finding every Pure Heart, the band of heroes set off for Castle Bleck.

 The stakes were high as the ominous void grew larger and the end drew near.

 Could Mario and friends stave off the inevitable and overturn the prophecy?

 What strange twist of fate awaited Tippi and Count Bleck? These thoughts

 plagued the minds of our heroes as the curtain rose on the final act..."

------------------

------------------

Tippi: So here we are at last... Count Bleck's castle.

Tippi: Er... Never mind. We'd better get going...

 through many dangerous rooms full of many dangerous enemies. As they get

 further into the castle, someone approaches]

[They walk up to O'Chunks]

O'Chunks: Slap me down with a slab o' mutton, I never would o' thought yeh'd

          make it 'ere! I'll tell yeh this, though, yeh shouldn't 'ave been

          such a fork in me rumpus! Now I 'ave to hit yeh with the full force

          o' me chunks!

Bowser: Pfffgghhht! That's big talk from the chump who gets stomped again...

        and AGAIN!

O'Chunks: 'OW DARE YEH!

Bowser: You heard me! You're goin' down, chunky boy!

O'Chunks: WHAAAAA?! 'Ow about provin' it, then! Right 'ere, yeh an' me!

          Wrasslin' match o' the ages!

Bowser: Bring it, beardo! I'll take you on alone! I got all the sweet

        stomping you need, right here!

Bowser: Bwaha! Don't you worry. I've had egg-salad sandwiches chunkier than

        this guy. You just step back and watch how a totally awesome tryant

        gets business done.

O'Chunks: I'm gonna 'urtle into yeh with the force of a massive, 'airy comet,

          yeh great crybaby!

O'Chunks: CHUNK UP!

O'Chunks: Bet yeh weren't 'specting THAT, were yeh? Where's yer flappin' mouth

          now, eh? It's time fer an old-fashioned, no-'olds-barred...

[Bowser and O'Chunks battle. After the fight...]

O'Chunks: HURRRRRRG!

O'Chunks: 'Ow could yeh be chunkier than I? Yer naught but a bloomin' turtle!

          'Ow can I go on livin' with the shame o' it all?

O'Chunks: 'Ey, Bowser! Let me keep me dignity as me game ends! Finish me quick!

Bowser: Hey, there's no shame in being smacked down by a huge, studly boss!

O'Chunks: Uhhhhh... What's that shakin'?

[It falls completely down, but O'Chunks is seen holding it up, which saves

 Mario, Luigi, Peach and Bowser]

O'Chunks: HUUUURRRK!

Bowser: O'Chunks... You saved us?!

O'Chunks: What are yeh waitin' fer! Get out o' this place!

Bowser: But... Why'd you save us?

O'Chunks: Because yeh spanked me, 'eh! Yeh earned the right teh pass. Now I'm

          makin' sure yeh do just that!

O'Chunks: HURRRGGG!

O'Chunks: Bowser?! What're yeh doin'?!

                Bowser...

Bowser: You get out of here, too! Don't worry about me. I could hold this thing

        up ALL DAY!

O'Chunks: 'Ey! Yeh stole me line! Yer hands are quiverin' like a ladle of me

          mum's lard gravy. Don't be the tough guy! Go!

O'Chunks: No, yeh get out!

 noise coming from the previous room is heard]

[Luigi tries to open the door, but it doesn't even budge]

Luigi: The door... It won't budge!

Princess Peach: We... We don't have time. We must keep going.

Princess Peach: I'm not worried about Bowser. He isn't easy to get rid of...

Luigi: Oh boy, she's right about that! Bowser has survived worse!

Princess Peach: All right, let's move on to Count Bleck!

----------------------

Chapter 8-2: The Crash  [CH82]

----------------------

"An endless labyrinth of mind-boggling turns and deadly enemies... This final

 journey was more dangerous and trying than our heroes had seen before. Mario

 and his friends kept on without Bowser, who was lost in a duel. There was no

 time to stop and search for Bowser, or even grieve... Our heroes knew they had

 to rush toward the final encounter with Count Bleck."

------------------

------------------

Luigi: Another tremor... I've lost count of them all!

Princess Peach: It is strange... I mean, this is Count Bleck's private castle,

                right? So why would he let the destruction ravage his own home?

                What sort of evil plan is it if he destroys himself in the

                procees?

Tippi: Ahem, uhhh... Let's just keep moving. We need to find Count Bleck

       soon...

[Mario nods. As they defeat the enemies in the hallway they're in, they go

 through the next door, when suddenly...]

Voice: Oh ho ho! You've finally arrived!

        here to tell you!

        block! So why don't you give it a jolly old whack?

 and the others make their way out of the room, then they continue their trek

 through the castle until eventually, they find Merlee]

        beauty and the stars led you here. Rest now, for you have nothing to

        fear!

        at this lovely aura glow, does it not tell you all you need to know?

        future's key. And you must answer each and every question honestly and

        fairly! Here we go! Time to start the show! Which one of these beasts

        is hardest for you to make deceased?

 - Goomba

 - Clubba

 - Ultra Shroom

 - Fuzzies

 - Hammer Bros.

 - Thunder Rage

Merlee: You are most scared of those? Hee hee! That's very good to know.

 - Amazy Dayzee

 - Francis

 - Cooking Mistake

Merlee: Well, it's been marvelous fun, but I'm afraid our time together is

        quite done... But do not fear or fret! No! We shall meet again yet! Hee

        hee hee hee hee!

 one contains the thing that Mario said he hates the most when he answered all

 three questions. In the next room...]

Mimi: I put everything you hate in there! How'd you get through all that icky

      stuff?! Unless...you bad people were LYING!

                and Merlee. Talk about a dirty trick! You should be ashamed of

                yourself!

      to get it. You're the one that's always having to get rescued by boys.

      THAT'S embarrassing! Golly, you sure are a lot of talk when you have your

      little boyfriends to protect you!

                insist, I'll give you what you so richly deserve.

Luigi: P-Princess Peach! You're not really going to...

                dignity! You two leave me be! UNDERSTOOD?!

      sure would be sad if your boyfriends had to cry over spilled peaches!

      go bye-bye, Princess!

[Peach fights Mimi. Once she's defeated...]

Mimi: I don't...get it... I got beat by a...princess? WAHHHHHH!

Princess Peach: Oh, what's the matter, little girl? Did I spank Mimi a little

                too hard?

Tippi: The destruction is spreading... If we dawdle any longer, we're doomed!

Princess Peach: You're right... Let's go.

Princess Peach: Mimi... You can't stay here. Go find somewhere safe.

[He walks up to the door, but it doesn't open]

Luigi: It... It won't open!

                thinking...

Mimi: I don't want your stupid help! Just... Just leave me alone.

Princess Peach: No, I can't do that. You have been very, very bad, but I can't

                leave you here to die. I don't know how you were raised, but I

                was taught to help people in need!

Princess Peach: Wait! I've got you...

[Mario tries to open the door in the room they're in again, but it doesn't open

 still]

Tippi: The whole castle shook! And now that door won't open?

Tippi: I know it's horrible, but this is, well...the end of the world. Of all

       worlds, really. We must press on. Princess Peach would want it this way

       if she were here.

       Princess Peach thing to say. I'm worried about Peach, but she'd probably

       be mad at us for wasting time... OK, Bro, let's go!

Chapter 8-3: Countdown to Destruction  [CH83]

-------------------------------------

"First Bowser and then the fair Princess Peach were lost to the halls of Castle

 Bleck. Would they ever be seen again? Without his allies, could our hero Mario

 hope to stand against the evil Count Bleck? The very air in the castle grew

 heavier and even more ominous with every step. All they could do was plod

 forward in silence..."

---------------------

---------------------

       close, now...

 through lots of more dangerous corridors and rooms. After awhile, they come to

 a Save Block, and then they go through the door there]

Voice: Aha ha ha ha ha ha ha. So... You've made it at last.

Dimentio: Oh, but...what's this? You seem to be missing the ravishing princess

          and the arm flailer.

Tippi: Dimentio... We don't have time to trade barbs with you... Move out of

       the way!

Dimentio: Ahhh, I see. You're in a hurry. Allow me to get out of your way,

          then...

Dimentio: ...Just as soon as you defeat me! Aha ha ha ha ha. You've proven to

          be worthy foes in the past, so I'm not going to make it easy. You'll

          have to come get me first. It'll be like a game of tag...with magic!

 the Lineland Road]

 find another switch, which carries them to Merlee's Mansion]

Tippi: Is this Merlee's Mansion?

 Tile Pool. They chase Dimentio down here, as well. The next place they get

 warped to is Planet Bobule. After that, they warp to the Gap of Crag. Then

 they end up in the white void of the Sammer's Kingdom, then at the Underwhere

 Road. After the chase, they finally end back up in Castle Bleck]

          deadly serious.

          Count Bleck. So...I have a favor to ask. Will you help me...destroy

          the count?

          ME! He said he would destroy all worlds and create a new, perfect

          world in their place. But he was lying! He plans to obliterate every

          world, and then keep them all in ruin.

          to stop him on my own. I feigned loyalty to him as I searched for

          someone who could defeat him with me!

          brainwashing. It's also why I sent you to The Underwhere to fix the

          broken Pure Heart. And why I freed a man to be reunited with his

          brother... Now do you see?

Tippi: You've...been helping us all this time?

Dimentio: Ahhh, you've got me pegged. Now, how about you return the favor? I'll

          give you the power you need to crush Count Bleck... Just fight by my

          side!

 - Yes

 - No

[If "Yes" is chosen, you join Dimentio and get a Game Over. If "No" is

 chosen...]

          Chaos Heart in our hands, we can rule every world! Do you still

          refuse?

 - Forget it!

 - No way!

[If "Forget it!" is chosen...]

          game ends. I think I'll start with the green one. The shag upon his

          lip will make a fine trophy.

Luigi: Leave this one to me, Bro! You run ahead! You've got worlds to save. You

       don't have time to fight this baddie! Don't let Bowser and Peach's

       sacrifices be for nothing! Or...mine, either! Besides, he made fun of my

       'stache, Bro! You know I'm sensitive about that. Lemme at him!

          run along. And if he somehow manages to defeat Count Bleck on his

          own...all the better! And so I strike, like an unseen dodgeball in an

          echoing gynasium!

Luigi: Had enough, Dimentio?! I didn't need my superstar bro to take you on!

          I can't let you fall into Count Bleck's velvet-lined gloves...

Luigi: W-What're you doing...?!

          agony of game-overing...by magic!

       Wawahwahwahwahwahwah!

 Mario and Tippi are shown in the room ahead, and they hear the explosion and

 feel a rumble]

Tippi: No... It can't be...

Tippi: But...Luigi... ............. You're right, Mario... It hurts, but you're

       right. We must grieve for him later. We have to stop the count.

----------------------------------

Chapter 8-4: Tippi and Count Bleck  [CH84]

----------------------------------

"A frigid wind blew through the dim and drafty corridors of Castle Bleck.

 Bowser, Peach...and even brave Luigi were gone. Mario was the only hero left.

 It was up to Mario to stop the dark prophecy. Every world hung in balance.

 What thrilling conclusion awaited our hero? Mario ran to the count's inner

 sanctum, his mustache fluttering in the breeze..."

--------------------------

--------------------------

Tippi: So, it's just us left now, isn't it? It reminds me of the time we first

       met...

Tippi: ...I'm so sorry, Mario.

       of them are gone forever...

Tippi: What?! You're saying you know they're still alive?

       heroes...

Tippi: I'm going to believe in them... And... I'm going to believe in HIM...

       most of all...

 more tough rooms and a few maze corridors, they reach an eerie room]

       Heart?

Count Bleck: I see you've come at last! So you really are the hero of the Light

             Prognosticus.

             Count Bleck! All worlds will soon end. Come to grips with that

             now, for you cannot stop it. I suggest you make yourself

             comfortable and enjoy this one, final spectacle!

       this?! How...COULD you do this?!

             meaningless. Better that I destroy them! Better yet, I shall make

             it as if they never existed at all!

       Answer me, Blumiere!

             tell you... But the hour has grown too late. You should know that

             by now.

       Count Bleck... The only way we can stop this is to defeat you... And

       that is exactly why Mario and I have come here... To stop this.

             must! Count Bleck is the deleter of worlds! My fate is written in

             the Dark Prognosticus! Do not think for a moment that I will

             hesistate to strike you down. ALL NOW ENDS!

             the world will ever see!

 Chaos Heart protecting him. After a few worthless hits from Mario...]

             you true power!

Tippi: Our attacks...aren't doing anything! He's being shielded by the Chaos

       Heart.

Count Bleck: You can't so much as tug on the cape of Count Bleck! You have

             failed!

Tippi: Mario, your attacks aren't working at all...

             soon after!

Voice: Oh, COME ON! You're giving up already?

        MY castle!

Luigi: Yeah, you tell him, Princess! W-We aren't going to let you get away with

       this. We aren't giving up! You'll never win!

Tippi: You're all here... But how?

                surprisingly soft landing...

Luigi: I don't even know what happened, Bro, but the princess found me out

       cold. But we're all here now, so let's do this!

Bowser: You heard him! Now you've got to deal with all of us!

Count Bleck: Bleh heh heh heh heh heh... "When the four heroes are united..."

             It is all as foretold.

Count Bleck: What... What's this?

Tippi: "Four heroes unite, their hope burns forth light to shatter the walls of

       blight." Just like Merlee said...

Count Bleck: So be it...says Count Bleck! But don't celebrate just yet. Your

             precious worlds aren't safe until my last breath!

             Bleck!

 long battle, Bleck rises up with the Chaos Heart showing]

 toward it. Bleck appears]

             Chaos Heart will disappear. The prophecy will be undone...

             gave up looking... I searched and searched...

             joy... So I used the forbidden prophecy of the Tribe of Ancients

             to end all worlds. I wanted to destroy everything that had taken

             you away from me...

Tippi: But I am here now... No one can keep us apart anymore... Don't you see?

             Just knowing that you are still alive... And knowing that the

             world you still live in will continue... It gives me peace. I do

             not have long to live. You must end my game before The Void

             destroys all...

Tippi: But...we're finally together again...

       hopeless gesture.

          wants!

Tippi: Dimentio?! You're...alive?

          the count dies, the Chaos Heart won't disappear if I continue to

          control it! But I needed the power of the Pure Hearts to beat him...

          I couldn't do that on my own. So I had you do all of the sweaty labor

          for me. And you even used your Pure Hearts to defeat Count Bleck! If

          they make greeting cards to thank people for helping with evil plans,

          I owe you one.

Dimentio: I'm saying that you no longer have value to me, so I'm ending your

          games. They're all yours, Mr. L!

       isn't good!

          unconscious... And now that seed has sprouted spectacularly!

          you'll ever see!

 sucked into it. It disappears and the platforms in the chamber have faces on

 them, then a giant robot appears]

Dimentio: The Dark Prognosticus says he's the ideal host for the power of the

          Chaos Heart. And now I'm going to add my own power to this spicy

          little concoction.

          about you. I'll squeeze the life out of you later. Just wait over in

          that dimension, OK? Great.

[He goes into the robot's mouth, then it glows]

                worlds...and create perfect new ones! So, shall we get started?

                Now I have all I need...to become the king of all worlds!

                And now it is time for the destruction to begin... Let it begin

                with you, as you wallow in helplessness like upside-down

                turtles! L-POWER!

 others are shown inside Dimentio's dimension]

             Chaos Heart. All we can do is give up...

       that all just a lie?!

             doomed. What can we do?

       we have suffered without each other? We found each other again because

       we stayed alive... How can you admit defeat?! I will not! I will not

       give up! You promised we'd find happiness. You PROMISED!

Voice: That's right, Count!

[Mimi and O'Chunks appear, then they walk up to him]

O'Chunks: Ah, she lies like a wee rug, this lass! Nastasia told us, Count! She

          said you'd come 'ere... Or... She said she FELT you'd be here...or

          somethin' along those lines.

O'Chunks: Talk about goin' the extra mile! She even sacrificed 'erself teh save

          yeh! Lissen, Count, I promised me life as well, an' I'm not afraid

          teh live up teh it! So... Yeh gotta let me 'elp!

Mimi: Yeah! I mean, there's no WAY Dimentio's getting away with this! He pulled

      a really dirty trick on you, but we'll always stick by your side!

Count Bleck: Hmm... What's this? Pure...Hearts?! But why?

Tippi: Isn't it obvious, Blumiere? Pure Hearts are the very feelings of our

       souls. As long as we feel love, they live on!

Super Dimentio: Hmph... Let's stop wasting time and finish this, shall we?

Super Dimentio: What?! What's going on?!

                Count Bleck!

Super Dimentio: What's...happening?! I'm not invincible anymore...

[The screen flashes and restores Mario and his friend's health. Tippi appears]

Tippi: Now's our chance... The Pure Hearts have given us power! Let's get him!

 a long and rather difficult battle, the robot begins to explode]

                Luigi and the Chaos Heart... And the prophecy... Has it been

                undone?!

        you!

       their destinies. Good-bye now, Dimentio. We'll add a footnote to the

       prophecy about your failure.

Super Dimentio: Urrrrrrk... Unngghhhh... You think this is the end? This isn't

                finished... You can't...stop this now... You can't escape...

Super Dimentio: I've been saving one last surprise... Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha

                ha... Ciao!

 head explodes. Luigi gets up and looks around]

 his minions appear]

Princess Peach: So defeating Dimentio wasn't enough to stop it?

             controlling it fell...

             controlling it. It won't last long...but it may be enough to

             ensure the end of every world...

 at the end. The place gets a blue background and everyone comes out of the big

 door. The ending of the game starts here]

O'Chunks: 'Ey, Count! What're yeh doin'?!

             Heart. All we need is true love... And that is something I am

             lucky enough to possess... But... With the Chaos Heart gone, the

             Pure Hearts and those linked to them... They may cease to exist...

Mimi: You mean you might go away? B-But I don't want you to go!

             long to live anyway. But you, Timpani...

             is no other way to end this.

Count Bleck: Timpani...

Tippi: Don't say another word... As long as I am with you, nothing else

       matters.

             disappeared... But I have caused you so much suffering...

       true.

             that...

             now, that fact will not have changed...

 Heart, banishing it]

Bowser: Everything's shaaaaaaking! Are we too late?!

                Bleck...

O'Chunks: Urrrrrgh...

 from the first world shown. After a couple of more scenes are shown...]

"Timpani...do you remember the promise we made to each other that day?"

"Yes, I remember..."

"If there was a place where we could be happy together, we would find it."

"Will you come with me to that place now?"

"Blumiere... Of course... I will always be with you..."

 including Bleck's minions]

O'Chunks: Great leapin' bog monkeys! Nastasia, she draws breath once again,

          lads! Nastasia! 'EY! NASTASIA! Miracle o' miracles! GRA-GOOGLY-HEY-

          HOORAH!

Nastasia: ...Mmm? Um... I... I'm alive?

        Thusly the world that was lost returns to normalcy. You have done well,

        heroes. It is all thanks to you.

        guidance of the Pure Hearts...

                them?

        nullified...

Nastasia: Um, no... They're alive.

Nastasia: Yeah, they're finally united. They overcame time and fulfilled their

          old vows... Somewhere, the count...is living together with Tippi...

          in...um...happiness... And I... Yeah, I...

Nastasia: WAAAAH! C-C-C-Count! NOOOOOOOO! I... I'm all alone! What am I to do

          now?!

O'Chunks: 'Ey now, me wee Nastasia... I'm believin' the count is still alive,

          too. An' if he is alive, lass, we wouldn't want to be shamin' 'im

          with blubberin'! So pull it together, 'ey?

Mimi: He's right, Nassy! We still have each other! We can still build the

      count's world! So, c'mon! Big smile!

Nastasia: Oh... O'Chunks... Mimi...

Nastasia: Y-You're right. Yeah, I can't just sob like this forever. The count

          would never have approved. We have to create the ideal world that,

          um, the count wished for in his heart... A world of love, not war.

          Yeah, let's all pencil that in. An appointment...of hope.

        escape them. To feel sadness is to live...but as long as you are alive,

        the future is a blank page.

Merlon: And with that...I am hungry. I've asked Saffron to make some of her

        celebrated snacks for us. Let us heal our weariness by devouring a

        banquet of sumptuous sweets!

Merlon: Ah, Princess Peach... I'm thinking of Tippi... I mean, Lady Timpani...

        I wonder if she truly is happy now...

Merlon: Well, let's have at those snacks...

                            So the dark prophecy was

                           averted and peace reigned.

                            The Dark Prognosticus

                           again faded into history...

                           Count Blumiere and his love,

                           Lady Timpani, both vanished.

                            Where did the pair go?

                                  None know.

                            And so the story of the

                            lost book of prophecies

                                comes to an end...

                             May we meet again in

                           another time and place...

[The credits roll, and when "THE END" appears, Blumiere and Timpani are shown

 by a tree in the far distance. The game ends at this point]

"The End"
