Chapter 3-4: The Battle of Fort Francis
Storyline text Mario, Peach, and Bowser had scaled the tree and defeated Dimentio.

The exhausted heroes were relieved to finally see the ivory towers of Fort Francis.

''Was Tippi safe? Was the next Pure Heart really waiting for them ahead?''

Their only answers were the strange voices carried on the wind from inside the fort...

Mario and co. enter the castle and eventually meet Carrie the Pixl on their way to save Tippi. Once Princess Peach enters the room that Tippi is held captive in, Francis appears and uses his laptop to activate a dating simulator with which he plans to impress her. The player can choose Peach's actions for a while, but she eventually gets upset with the player's choices and uses Boomer to destroy the laptop. Francis then becomes infuriated and begins a fight. Once he is defeated, Tippi is freed, and the Pure Heart appears.

Storyline text The fourth Pure Heart appeared in a dazzling flash of mysterious light.

''What made it appear? The group was puzzled by this and many other riddles.''

''"...So you're not hurt?" asked Tippi, full of concern.''

''Somehow, Tippi seemed different than before. She had started to change.''

Mario simply shook his head and started the long journey back to Flipside...
