As Yaridovich threatens to torture the town's real population, 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 cliff near Seaside Town, sees himself forced to swim, though he admits he might rust when doing so. However, Jonathan Jones jumps out of the water preventing Yaridovich from fleeing. Cornered, Yaridovich changes into his real form and battles Mario and his allies.

The Pipe Vault is held in the traditional side-scrolling manner of earlier ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' games such as ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', and features classic enemies such as [[Piranha Plant]]s. On Yo'ster Isle, Mario meets Yoshi and can ride him. On Yoshi's back, Mario is able to talk to other Yoshis on the island, with Yoshi translating their words from the Yoshi language. On Yoshi's back, Mario can compete in the Mushroom Derby, a racing [[minigame]], against the island's champion, the rude Boshi. Entry into the derby requires [[Yoshi Cookie]]s. After winning the Mushroom Derby, Mario has access to Yoshi Cookies outside the island. He can summon Yoshi in battle, who swallows smaller enemies, leaving back a certain item or a [[Yoshi Candy]]. | ||
Another optional place to visit is [[Grate Guy's Casino]], which opens after Mario's quest to Nimbus Land. To enter it, Mario has to get the membership card by Knife Guy in Booster's Tower, then find the secret entrance to the casino in Bean Valley.

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 [[FP]]. These flower points are not raised by leveling up, but by special items such as the [[Flower Tab]].

Many of these options can be improved by the | Many of these options can be improved by the use of [[Action Command|action command]]s, most commonly the "Timed Hit" which helps them in many ways when the player presses any button at the correct time. Depending on the timing, these commands can increase physical damage by 1.5x if done okay, or 2x if done well. They can also block half damage from physical damage if done okay, and all of it if done well. Magical attacks can be timed as well for more damage. However, enemy magic attacks and some physical attacks cannot be blocked in this manner. In addition, a correctly Timed Hit with an Item can result in a "freebie", meaning that an item is used, but not consumed from the inventory. However, the timing window for doing this is very narrow. | ||
