Eventually, Count Bleck puts his plans into action, targetting the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Armed with the prophecy's knowledge that the wedding of a princess and a monster will call forth the [[Chaos Heart]], Bleck abducts [[Princess Peach]] and [[Bowser]], along with [[Luigi]] and the entire [[Koopa Troop]], and forcibly weds the former two, forming the Chaos Heart; Bleck then uses the Chaos Heart to rip open [[The Void]], which had the power to destroy the entire universe. Due to a disturbance during the ceremony, Luigi, Bowser, the Koopa Troop, and Peach are scattered across the castle. To confront this problem, Bleck sends Nastasia, with her brainwashing powers, to force members of the Koopa Troop to join his cause and his other minions to various dimensions in an attempt to hinder [[Mario]]'s progress toward collecting the [[Pure Heart]]s.

[[File:CountBleck.png|thumb|left|Sprite of Count Bleck in ''Super Paper Mario.'']]After Mario manages to defeat all three minions and has reunited with Peach and Bowser, the count begins seeing him as more than just a mere annoyance. Bleck turns to the Dark Prognosticus and learns that a "man in green" is the determining factor in whether the prophecy of destruction will come to pass. He then orders Nastasia to brainwash Luigi into [[Mr. L]] and sets him on the heroes; however, Mr. L is just as easily defeated as Bleck's other minions. Angered by his multiple failures to stop them thus far, Bleck confronts them in person in [[Sammer's Kingdom]], a world only moments away from destruction at the Void's hands. After an argument ensues with Tippi over his motives and the value of all worlds, Count Bleck begins to suspect that she may be his Timpani; however, he ultimately decides that this is impossible and continues his plans unabated.

After the four heroes manage to defeat [[Bonechill]] and obtain the final Pure Heart from [[The Overthere]], Bleck orders his minions to take their positions throughout the castle, to try and defeat them when they arrive. It is at this point that Dimentio reveals to Bleck Tippi's mentioning of the name 'Blumiere' - confirming, as Bleck had tried to dismiss earlier, that Tippi was indeed Timpani and thus that his whole reason for creating the chaos heart was invalid. Knowing he cannot stop the prophecy no that it was this far along, however, Bleck ignores Nastasia's urges to call off the Void, secretly hoping that Mario, Peach, Bowser, and Luigi will be capable of defeating him and saving all worlds.

When Mario and Tippi reached the inner sanctum of [[Castle Bleck]], the three other heroes have been lost along with Bleck's minions. Bleck and Tippi once again argue before Bleck sends Nastasia away and engages Mario in battle. The count was initially immune to all attacks due to the Chaos Heart, but the arrival of Bowser, Peach, and Luigi (who had narrowly survived their battles with Bleck's minions) granted the Pure Hearts the power to negate the barrier, and Bleck is eventually defeated by them. Ignoring Tippi's upset at the idea of killing the man she now knows to be her love, Bleck insists that the heroes dispatch him before the Void destroys all worlds.

Before anyone can fulfill Bleck's wish, however, Dimentio appears and attacks the count; the blow is taken by Nastasia, who is seemingly mortally wounded. Dimentio then takes control of the chaos heart from the badly weakened Bleck, planning to use it to create a new world in his image once the old ones are gone. Now about to be merged with the newly-brainwashed Luigi and the Chaos Heart, Dimentio banishes Bleck, Tippi, and Nastasia to [[Dimension D]]; here they are united with O'Chunks and Mimi, whose love for Bleck restores the pure hearts sufficiently to weaken [[Super Dimentio]] and allow Mario and co. to strike the mad jester down. Before his death, however, the jester manages to leave behind a 'shadow' of his power, according to Bleck, to ensure all worlds will end as revenge for his death. Aware of the urgency of the situation, Count Bleck returns everyone to the chapel where the Chaos Heart was born, and he and Tippi exchange vows and wed each other; the true love between them supercharges the Pure Hearts, uniting them into the [[Purity Heart]] and reversing the prophecy of destruction by anihilating the chaos heart.

The fate of the couple after the wedding is never completely disclosed - Bleck claims that using their love to stop the Void would cause both of them to 'cease to exist', yet both Merlon and a revived Nastasia voice their beliefs that the count is living happily together with Timpani. This idea is given proof by a post-credits scene showing the count's silhouette standing near that of a woman, implied to be Tippi's human form, in a paradise world, supposedly the one he had promised they would one day find.
