If they ever let go of the [[Crystal Stars]], a [[black chest]] would appear and lock them away for all eternity. | |||
The heroes knew the seal on the Shadow Queen was only temporary, and they wanted the stars available to one who might need them. They made a [[Magical Map]] to the stars, and to stop evil from using it, they put it in a box that could only be opened by the pure of heart. The [[Beldam|merchant]] in the opening scene of the game has the box and gives it to [[Princess Peach]]. | |||
The Toad was exhausted from his journey and collapsed in Petal Meadows. A healer saved him, but knowing his fate, the Toad gave them his Crystal Star and asked them to hide it where nobody would find it. His box is in [[Hooktail Castle]]. The Goomba knew the [[Puni]]es were being terrorized by the nearby monsters, so she hollowed out [[the Great Tree]]. She gave the [[Emerald Star]] to the Punies where they have been keeping it safe for the past thousand years. Her chest is in [[Rogueport Sewers]]. The Koopa went to hide the [[Sapphire Star]] in [[Keelhaul Key]], but [[Cortez]] came and easily took it for himself. The Koopa was so tired he did not stand a chance. His chest is in the [[Pirate's Grotto]]. The Boo hid the [[Ruby Star]] in [[Creepy Steeple]], and her box is in a shop's storage room in [[Twilight Town]]. | |||
One by one, Mario finds the chests and opens them with the [[Black Key]]s, releasing them and letting them "curse" Mario with new powers. While the others appear to be taunting Mario, the Koopa one at least did not appear evil, as he is rehearsing the speech. After they "curse" Mario, they vanish and are neither seen nor mentioned again. Mario can also pay [[Grifty]] to hear the story of their adventure and how they came to be trapped in the black chests. | |||

As a result, the citizens of Plumpbelly Village no longer have to live in fear. | ||

Despite the Pixl Queen being the first Pixl ever created, she seemed to stay largely quiet for what is thought to be 1,000 years after the creation of the Pixls 3,000 years before the setting of ''Super Paper Mario''. However, seemingly long after the passing of her creator (the powerful magician who invented the process of Pixl-making), the Pixl Queen (then of an unknown name) finally rose into power, renaming herself with her only known name of "Pixl Queen." She then began to use her powers of mind control to manipulate all Pixls, causing them to eventually enslave most of the [[Tribe of Ancients]] (who were ironically once their masters) in her name. However, the owners of the magician's twelve original Pixl creations managed to somehow escape this Pixl Uprising and started to fight against the rebellious Pixls, containing them within [[Catch Card]]s and healing them. In the end, only one of these heroic Ancients survived, and he traveled with only his Pixl friends to the Pixl Queen's [[castle]]. | Despite the Pixl Queen being the first Pixl ever created, she seemed to stay largely quiet for what is thought to be 1,000 years after the creation of the Pixls 3,000 years before the setting of ''Super Paper Mario''.
