Mario | At the top of the tower is a large orrery. A lock is there for the Star Key, which will in turn make the locks for the Palace Keys appear. When all eight Palace Keys are inserted, the large model in the center begins to move, lowering the hallway before Gloomtail's room and revealing the next stage of the Palace of Shadow. Mario must fight [[Beldam]], [[Marilyn]], and [[Doopliss]] outside in the plaza before being able to access this new area. | ||

It is most likely that the ''"stones with the power of stars"'' are the [[Crystal Star]]s and that the ''"we"'' is the [[Shadow Queen]]'s race. | ||
