Gritzy Caves: Difference between revisions

The '''Gritzy Caves''', encountered in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', is a vast series of caverns directly beneath the [[Koopaseum]] within the [[Gritzy Desert]]. This was once the home of [[Petey Piranha]].  

The cavern is characterised by bluish stone and a sandy floor. Additionally, the walls are covered with vines and rock formations that resemble the heads of [[Piranha Plant]]s. There are also many openings in the ceiling, allowing light to pour inside, however the cavern is mostly dim. [[Dark Boo]]s, [[Elite Boom Guy]]s, and [[Snifaro]]s are common enemies in this area. There are [[Monty Mole]]s, as well, two of which run an [[Item Shop]] called the [[Monty Mart]].

[[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Baby Mario]], and [[Baby Luigi]] enter the Gritzy Caves through the floor of the Koopaseum. A group of [[Shroob]]s armed with powerful [[hammer]]s surround them. They then strike the ground, making a hole which the bros. fall in. Soon afterwards, they encounter [[Kylie Koopa]] and a couple of Shroobs, only to see her fed to Petey Piranha - who, earlier, had also consumed [[Princess Peach]] - but before the bros. could do anything, the giant Piranha Plant burrows away.

After traversing through the cavern, the heroes finally battle Petey Piranha. Once defeated, he explodes and both Kylie and a [[Cobalt Star Shard]] fly out of him, but Princess Peach does not. Kylie explains that when she was eaten she saw the princess, however, Petey spat her out right after swallowing Kylie. The bros. proceed a little further to reach a dead end where they encounter the princess with a [[Shroob Mushroom]] on her face, and so they urgently return to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]'s present time.
