After conquering him, Mario reaches the lower levels of the ship, and meets [[Jonathan Jones]], the shark owner of the ship. Jones claims the Star Piece for himself as it fell into "his" sea. In spite of that, Mario is able to win the Star Piece in a duel with him.

Upon returning to Seaside Town, Mario is stopped by the "elder" and various other Toads. The "elder" reveals himself to be [[Yaridovich]], a spear-like member of the Smithy Gang. Yaridovich had cloned and disguised himself as Seaside Town's entire population in order to trick Mario into searching for the Star Piece for him. As Yaridovich threatens to torture the town's real elder, Mario hands over the Star Piece. Yaridovich flees and Mario runs after him. Yaridovich was to be taken by the battleship [[Blade]]. However, Blade is late, and Yaridovich, being on a dead-end seaside cliff near Seaside Town, sees himself forced to swim away, though he admits he might rust when doing so. Just then, Jonathan Jones jumps out of the water, blocking Yaridovich's escape route. Cornered, Yaridovich changes into his real form and battles Mario and his allies. After a long fight, Mario is able to defeat Yaridovich and regain the fifth Star Piece.

After a long fight, Mario is able to defeat Yaridovich, regain the fifth Star Piece, and save the inhabitants of Seaside Town. Mario learns from the town's real elder that, apparently, there's a [[Starslap|star]] in Monstro Town, a settlement populated by reformed monsters located at the far side of Land's End.


===Land's End===
===Land's End===
Looking for the sixth Star Piece, Mario and his friends move on to [[Land's End]]. They climb a mountain and traverse a desert area, but then they are unable to go any higher because the cliff beyond the desert is too tall. So they are forced to take a detour down some desert whirlpools, and at some point end up underground, at [[Belome Temple]]. There, they encounter Belome for a second time. The hungry monster tries to eat them, but again is vanquished. After the fight, Mario goes through a [[Warp Pipe]] and reaches [[Monstro Town]].

In Monstro Town, he speaks with [[Monstermama]], who calls [[Sergeant Flutter]] to help him climb the huge cliff in Land's End. She says that the sixth Star Piece has to be somewhere in the clouds, as there is no place on land left to look for it. With the help of Flutter and his [[Koopa Paratroopa|Sky Troopas]], Mario and his friends discover [[Bean Valley]]. In a Warp Pipe at the end of Bean Valley, a [[Beezo]] grows a giant [[Piranha Plant]], the [[Megasmilax]], according to someone called [[Valentina]]'s orders. Mario and company have to beat it in order to gain access to the giant beanstalk which leads up into [[The Vinery|the clouds]] and to [[Nimbus Land]].

To help Mario climb the huge cliff in Land's End and therefore ascend, she calls [[Sergeant Flutter]]. With the help of Flutter and his [[Koopa Paratroopa|Sky Troopas]], Mario and his friends discover [[Bean Valley]].

Mario and company have to beat it in order to gain access to the giant beanstalk which leads up into [[The Vinery|the clouds]] and to [[Nimbus Land]].

===Nimbus Land===
Line 79: Line 79:
As Mario reaches Nimbus Land's plaza, Valentina, the royal aide, gives a speech to the local [[Nimbus]]. She says that [[King Nimbus]] is ill at the moment and cannot do his business. Also, she introduces the giant bird [[Dodo]] as being the lost Prince Mallow. Though Dodo looks nothing like a Nimbus and cannot speak, Valentina claims the "prince" wants to marry her, thus making her the queen of Nimbus Land. She then enters Nimbus Castle, which is now closed to the public.

Though Mallow does not realize at first that he is the actual prince, he is told so by [[Garro]], a sculptor for the royal family. Garro agrees to help Mario and Mallow foil Valentina. He coats Mario in gold, disguising him as one of his statues. He takes it into Nimbus Castle with other statues for Valentina without arousing suspicion. Once inside, Mario barely escapes Dodo's wrath as he pecks on random statues instead of polishing them on Valentina's behalf. Then, two of Valentina's guards accidentally remove Mario's gold coating and make him move, but run off, spooked at this. Mario fights his way through the heavily guarded castle.

On their route through Nimbus Castle, Mario and his friends encounter a giant egg called [[Shelly]], which turns out to contain [[Birdo]], who works for Valentina. After getting the better of her, Mario reaches the rearmost part of the castle and challenges Valentina and Dodo. They run away and Mario gives chase, falling down through a few layers of clouds in the process and landing near Nimbus Land's plaza. There, he intercepts Valentina and Dodo, engages them in battle, and defeats them. Valentina escapes by flying away with Dodo, falling through the clouds soon after and ending up at Booster Tower, just as Toadstool did before.

With all seven Star Pieces restored, Geno thanks the others and says goodbye, before leaving his doll body and returning to his original form: a small star. The Star Road is restored, and Mario, Mallow, Bowser, Toadstool, and the Geno doll are returned to [[Mario World|Mario's world]]. Exor dissolves into nothing.

Every time a character levels up, they can choose one of three groups of stats to gain a bonus point in: attack and defense, HP, or magic attack and magic defense. Special skills can be performed by using flower points, or [[Flower Point|FP]]. These flower points are not raised by leveling up, but by special items such as the [[Flower Tab]]. Occasionally, an item is used without being consumed as normal, called a "freebie" by the game.

Hero of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and the main protagonist of the story. Mario attempted to rescue Princess Toadstool from Bowser again, but was sent flying by Exor crashing into the keep. Now he must go on an entirely new adventure as he fights off Smithy's army of mechanical minions and recover the Seven Stars. He is mainly played as in the overworld, where he cannot be switched out for any other of his teammates.

In battle, Mario uses powerful attacks, hitting his enemies with various [[Hammer]]s, [[Koopa Shell]]s or simply his hands. His magic attacks involve [[jump|jumping]] and fire magic. If Mario ever falls in battle, his allies can still fight on and win the battle for him.

Mallow is the first partner that Mario meets, joining Mario during his first visit to [[Toad Town|Mushroom Kingdom]]. He is, at first, believed to be a simple [[tadpole]] from [[Tadpole Pond]] even though he looks nothing like one. He was raised by [[Frogfucius]] who found him floating in a basket as a baby. Later, when Mallow and Mario visit Frogfucius, it is revealed that Mallow is not a frog and that his real parents are out there, somewhere. Later in the game, Mario and his party visit [[Nimbus Land]], whose citizens are all of the same species as Mallow. There, Mallow discovers that he is a prince and his parents are [[King Nimbus|King]] and [[Queen Nimbus]].

Geno is the second to join Mario's crew. He is an agent from Star Road, sent to retrieve the Seven Stars and repair Star Road while also battling Smithy's gang. While his real form appears to be a small star, he takes possession of [[Gaz]]'s doll, as well as its name, as a physical form. He then meets with Mario and Mallow in the Forest Maze while fighting with Bowyer, and he chooses to help Mario in his quest since they have the same objective.

The ruthless leader of the [[Koopa Troop]] and Mario's arch-nemesis, Bowser starts out as an enemy, but eventually joins as the fourth party member. He kidnaps Princess Toadstool and fights Mario as the first boss of the game. But then after getting thrown out his own keep by the Smithy Gang, Bowser became determined to take it back with his remaining minions, though they all eventually desert him. After meeting Mario and his new friends at Booster's Tower, he decides to use them to get his keep back under the pretense of making them honorary members of his army. This marks the first time in the series where Bowser joins Mario's side.

The fair ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Toadstool is the last to join Mario's team. She was kidnapped by Bowser at the beginning of the game, and, right when Mario rescued her, was sent flying off. After falling from the sky, she was discovered by [[Booster]] and held in his tower. Booster attempted to marry her, but she was eventually rescued by the heroes and returned to Mushroom Kingdom, apparently to stay. However, with the help of her grandmother, who disguised herself as the princess, Toadstool was able to sneak away to accompany Mario on his quest.

Her special skills are mostly defensive (with two crowd control spells in her mix) and healing, not offensive. Her healing skills can be incredibly useful, she can resurrect a fallen partner, and she can make a battle against tough foes and large crowds easier by putting them to sleep or by muting spell casters.
