I. Introduction
================
Welcome to my Super Paper Mario game script. I made this guide because this
game has been out for awhile now, and no game script has been created yet. I
figured I should make one, since I really enjoy writing these. =P This guide
contains the script for the entire story, from the beginning to the end. If
you're like me and enjoyed the script in the game, then you will enjoy this
guide. Let's get busy.

II. Game Script
================
In this section, I will list the entire script for the story of the game, from
the beginning to the end. Enjoy.
----------
Game Intro  [GNTR]
----------
"Ahem! Today..."
"I'll tell you the story of the lost book of prophecies."
[A book known as the Dark Prognosticus is drawn on the screen]
"This prophetic book was a mysterious tome full of stories of future events."
"Of course, many people craved this book, wishing to glimpse their futures."
"But no person, after obtaining this amazing book, ever found happiness."
"The reason? The book held frightful secrets not meant for people's eyes."
"That book came to be called the Dark Prognosticus and was sealed away."
"This...is the tale of that forgotten book's last owner. It is a tale of
love..."
[The pages flip and the screen fades out]
Voice #1: Ooh... Oooooh... What happened to me... What is this place?
Voice #2: Bleh heh heh heh heh... Oh, you're awake, Princess!
Voice #1: ...Huh?
[The princess opens her eyes and sees a caped figure, who wields a staff.
Bowser and Peach are then shown getting married at an altar]
Voice #3: BOWSER!
[The crowd is shown]
Princess Peach: Wh-What's going on here?!
[A strange girl named Nastasia appears]
Nastasia: Count! Yeah, um, 'K, so preperations are complete...
Count Bleck: Mmm... Then it shall be begun...by Count Bleck!
[A bell starts ringing]
Count Bleck: Bowser... Ferocious and fearsome, evil king of the Koopas... Do
you take Peach to be your lawfully wedded wife 'til your games be
over?
Bowser: Bwah ha ha! Will I marry Peach? Are you kidding me? The answer's
YESSSSSSSSS!
Count Bleck: Peach... Noble princess, pure of heart... Do you take Bowser to be
your lawfully wedded husband 'til your games be over?
Princess Peach: Now, wait just a second! You will explain to me what is going
on...RIGHT NOW!
Count Bleck: Bleh heh heh heh heh... Is it not obvious? This is your wedding,
Princess!
Princess Peach: But...why in the WORLD am I marrying Bowser?!
Bowser: Bwah ha ha! Hey, no gripes from THIS side of the altar, Bleck old boy!
I don't get the details, but the count here has gone to a lot of
trouble planning this! Just relax! We'll get married, we'll be in love,
it'll be awesome! Finally!
Princess Peach: No! And who picked this dress out? It's AWFUL! Take me back to
my castle immediately!
[Nastasia brainwashes her]
Nastasia: Yeah, um, being rude to the esteemed count is sort of frowned on, 'K?
So, yeah, Princess Peach, I'm gonna need you to answer the count
now... Do you, Peach, take Bowser to be your wedded husband 'til your
games be over?
Princess Peach: Unh... Nuh... No...
Nastasia: Gee... You sure are a fighter. But yeah, no one withstands my super-
hypnosis, sorry. "I do." Say it now, 'K?
[She brainwashes her even more]
Princess Peach: Oooh... Ooooh oh... ......I..... I....do......
[The altar rumbles and a black light emits from it]
Bowser: WH-WHAT?!?
[The crowd is shown, along with Luigi, who is on the ground. He gets up, then
he looks around]
Luigi: What in the world...? Eh? What am I doing here?
Luigi: Huh? Is that...Princess Peach over there??? And that guy is...HEY!
[The Chaos Heart appears, then it rises up to Bleck]
Count Bleck: BLEH HEH HEH HEH! BLECK! Yes, all precisely as written in the Dark
Prognosticus! Already it is unleashed! The Chaos Heart!
Nastasia: Oh, yeah, um, congratulations, Count...
Luigi: HALT!
[Luigi steps in]
Count Bleck: And just who are you? ...Asked Count Bleck.
Luigi: Oh, no! I don't give my name to scoundrels! Just watch as Luigi punishes
you for your badness! HERE I GO!
Nastasia: Yeah, I'm gonna need you to stop right this second, 'K? If you
interrupt this now...
[Luigi jumps on top of Bowser, then the Chaos Heart]
Luigi: Here's where Luigi rescues Princess Peach! Eh?
[The place rumbles violently and the screen fades out, then it fades back in,
showing the Chaos Heart. Bleck appears with the Dark Prognosticus, and
Nastasia also appears]
Nastasia: Um, yeah, so are you all right, Count?
Count Bleck: Fools... Pointless acts like these will earn you only pain...from
Count Bleck! Very well. As the Chaos Heart is secured, this ragtag
group now lacks use.
Nastasia: Um, so, yeah, Count... This means you may turn to a new page of dark
prophecies...
[Bleck spreads out both of his arms]
Count Bleck: Open your mouth, darkness! Consume everything and destroy all
worlds, as told in the prophecy! BLECK!
[The screen flashes, then the screen fades out. The title screen appears at
this point]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
Prologue  [PRLG]
--------
[When the game starts, Mario and Luigi's house is shown, and the inside is
shown with the brothers sitting at their dining room chair. Luigi yawns]
Luigi: ...Wow, sure is peaceful today, eh, Bro?
[Mario nods]
Luigi: Makes a guy feel lucky, having a peaceful day... Yup, reeeeeal peaceful.
It's so peaceful, it's almost a little bit boring. It makes you just
want a...KERBLOOEY! Y'know? Some kind of shocking event...
[Mario thinks, then replies]
Luigi: ...Ooh, at Princess Peach's place, maybe? That'd be cool, huh, Bro?
Maybe we should go visit Mushroom Castle! It has been a while. I'm sure
the princess would be happy to see us.
[The brothers get up and head outside, where they hear a voice]
Voice: M-M-M-M-M-M-M-MARIO! HELP!
[They walk over towards the voice, who turns out to be Toad]
Luigi: T-Toad?! What? What happened? Why are you so crazy?
Toad: It's sh-sh-sh-sh-shocking... Mushroom Castle...RAIDED! Princess Peach...
STOLEN!
[Mario and Luigi are surprised by this]
Luigi: WHAAAAAAAAAAT?! Why, that's ridiculous! Who in the world would do such a
thing?!
[Luigi gets a thought]
Luigi: Wait a second... Yeah... I think I've got it! Bro, this must be the work
of that guy! That bad guy!
[Mario thinks, then gets a thought and nods]
Luigi: I won't stand for this... We'll have to sneak into his castle and rescue
Princess Peach! Let's go, Bro!
[They both head out]
Toad: We're counting on you, Mario...Bros.!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------
Bowser's Castle
---------------
[Bowser's castle is shown, and inside, Bowser is seen]
Bowser: BWA HA HA! Listen well, my elite minion task force!
Bowser: It's time to initiate my awesome plot to invade Mushroom Castle! Today
is the day that I make my beloved Princess Peach ALL MINE! And if that
weren't awesome enough, I'll ALSO stomp her little mustache buddies!
[Bowser's minions are shown in a crowd full of cheering]
Minions: YEEEAH!
[The minions are shown cheering]
Bowser: Bwa ha ha ha ha! "We're under attack!" You jokers are the best!
[He notices two men in the midst of the crowd]
Bowser: Hey! Who are those hair guys in the back? We SHAVE around here,
minions!
[He jumps towards the crowd and they flee, and the two men happen to be Mario
and Luigi]
Bowser: Blargh! Mario! ...AND Luigi?! How'd you get in here?
[Mario responds]
Bowser: What? My front gate was open?!
[He stomps the ground]
Bowser: How many times have I told those idiots?! If you're the last in, LOCK
THE GATE!
Luigi: Quiet, you big Bowser! We know you kidnapped Princess Peach! Now where
you'd put her?!
[Bowser is confused]
Bowser: Where'd I... Wait, what? We're only now about to launch our atta--
Voice: MARIO! HELP!
[Peach is shown in a block near Bowser's minions, in the middle]
Luigi: Princess Peach?!
[The block moves, and a caped figure with a hat appears]
Count Bleck: BLECK! Your princess has been taken...by Count Bleck!
Bowser: You... Wait, by WHO?!
[He is shown up close]
Count Bleck: By me...Count Bleck! The chosen executor of the Dark
Prognosticus...is Count Bleck! The fine fellow prophersied to come
to this dimension...is also Count Bleck!
Bowser: I'll tell you who doesn't even make a bit of sense... Count Bleck!
Enough! Release Princess Peach, right now! I'm on a schedule over here!
Count Bleck: Count Bleck says NEVER! This princess is integral to fulfilling
the prophecies... She will be brought to Castle Bleck and used to
destroy all worlds...by Count Bleck!
Luigi: Destroy all WORLDS?!
[Mario attempts to attack him, but to no avail, due to a protective barrier
guarding Count Bleck. Bleck then uses his magic to put Mario in a dark aura,
then he falls over]
Luigi: Big Bro!
[Bleck puts his hand over his chin]
Count Bleck: This man deserves ridicule... Weaklings cannot face Count Bleck!
Bowser: Hey, here's a thought: you calm down and free the princess...OR ELSE!
[Bowser's troops gather a bit]
Count Bleck: Bleh heh heh heh... Your princess shall NOT be returned...by Count
Bleck. In fact, Bowser, evil king of the Koopas...Count Bleck will
take you, too!
[Bowser has a scared look on his face, then Bleck raises his wand and makes it
float in the air, spreading out both of his arms]
Count Bleck: BLEH HEH HEH HEH! BLECK!
[Using his magic, Bleck creates a big dark portal that sucks everyone in the
castle into it, except for Mario, who is still unconscious]
Count Bleck: BLEH HEH HEH HEH! BLECK! Count Bleck's preperations are now in
order! All that remains is for the dimensional void to appear, as
foretold in the prophecy... Bleh heh heh heh heh... BLEH HEH HEH
HEH! BLECK!
[Bleck disappears, then the screen goes blank and a voice is heard]
Voice: ........................................................................
..........ario..........................................................
.........Mario..........................................................
[Mario wakes up, seeing a strange rainbow-colored butterfly in front of him]
Butterfly: Are you awake?
[Mario responds]
Butterfly: My name is Tippi... I am what is known as a Pixl... A sort of
fairy... Mario... I came to find you...
[He mistakes Tippi for an enemy]
Tippi: I am no enemy... You met Count Bleck...and he captured a princess and an
evil king... Is this not so?
[Mario nods]
Tippi: Then that means Count Bleck is even now beginning to form The Void... We
haven't much time... You must come with me... Yes, if your friends are
to be saved, you must come...
[A box is drawn around Mario, and he looks confused]
Tippi: Let us go...
[Mario and Tippi disappear]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
Flipside
--------
[Mario and Tippi appear on top of a tower by a strange wizard]
Merlon: Oh ho! Well, well, well... Back so soon, Tippi? And who might this be?
Red shirt. Blue overalls... And a magnificent 'stache! Tippi, you have
truly outdone yourself...
Tippi: He matches the description of the hero in the Light Prognosticus
perfectly... And his name is Mario...
[Mario is confused]
Merlon: I welcome you, Mario! This is the town of Flipside. You have come far
from the Mushroom Kingdom of your dimension... Of course, our fair
Flipside is in no dimension at all! No! It is BETWEEN dimensions!
Merlon: My name? Merlon! I am a descendant of the Ancients who created this
town. I busy myself studying musty, ancient texts to forestall the end
of all worlds!
[Mario responds]
Merlon: Ahh... You want to know about the end of all worlds? What's happening,
you ask? So Tippi has not yet told you, I gather... Well then, Mario...
The answer hangs above you.
[A purple circle of dark energy is shown above, directly in the center]
Merlon: Do you see the gathering darkness in the sky?
[It's shown up close]
Merlon: It is a hole in the very dimensional fabric of space! Such a strange
phenomenon... Is it near or far? None know. It may appear small now,
but it will only grow. And in the end, it will swallow all existence...
All worlds, all dimensions... This void was created by our enemy, Count
Bleck, who wields the Dark Prognosticus.
[The Void is taken out of view]
Tippi: "A fair and lovely princess... A furious monster king... The union of
these two will call forth the Chaos Heart, the consumer of worlds... And
the Chaos Heart will ravage the sky, and so bring forth The Void."
Merlon: Yes... The passage Tippi just quoted is from the Light Prognosticus of
my ancestors. The book also says this: "The Void will swallow all...
Naught can stop it...unless the one protected by the dark power is
destroyed. The hero with the power of the eight Pure Hearts will rise
to this task." ...So it is written.
[He takes out a Pure Heart]
Merlon: This is one of the eight Pure Hearts. You are surely the hero spoken of
in the pages of the Light Prognosticus. You are the only one who can
defeat Count Bleck and save all worlds!
Merlon: Mario! Take this and save all worlds from destruction!
- I will!
- Nah.
[If "Nah." is chosen, and then you refuse again, you get a Game Over. However,
if "I will" is chosen...]
Merlon: Excellent! You truly are the hero of the book of legend! My eyes never
deceive! So... *clearing his throat* Ahem! Mario, our brave hero!
Take...THIS!
[He gives Mario the first of the eight Pure Hearts]
"You got a Pure Heart"
"This Pure Heart has been thrust into your possession!"
Merlon: Now, great hero Mario... Your first task awaits. You must take this
Pure Heart... You must place it in the Heart Pillar in this town. Tippi
will lead you there. Return to me when you are through with this task!
Tippi: This way...
[Tippi heads over to the left]
"When D-Pad Up appears, press the red direction on the D-Pad to examine things
or talk to people."
[Mario heads over to Tippi and takes an elevator down to the main area]
Tippi: This way, please... Come along...
[He follows Tippi to the right and takes another elevator up]
Tippi: The Heart Pillar is this way... Come on, please...
[Tippi goes to the left where the Heart Pillar is, and Mario follows her]
Tippi: This is the Heart Pillar... Now, get close and place the Pure Heart..
[Mario walks up to the pillar and takes out the Pure Heart, then it gets
inserted into the heart-shaped indention of the pillar. This causes a red door
to appear on Flipside's tower]
Tippi: Well done... Now, let's return to Merlon...
[They head back down the elevator and proceed towards the left. Tippi locates a
Save Block near Merlon's house]
Tippi: Perhaps you should strike this block before we head back to Merlon...
[Mario uses the block, then heads back up to the tower of Flipside]
Merlon: Ah, the two of you return!
[They go up to Merlon]
Merlon: Look! A door has appeared! This "dimensional door" was made to lead the
hero to another Pure Heart. Yes, somewhere beyond this door lies one of
the seven other Pure Hearts... ...Tippi. You must use your power to
help Mario find this Pure Heart and return here.
Tippi: Of course...
Merlon: And Mario... I have something to give you that will aid you on your
journey.
[He takes out a red pipe with red and white streaks on the top, then gives it
to Mario]
"You got a Return Pipe!"
Merlon: With this, you will be able to return to Flipside from anywhere in the
universe! Use it whenever you feel you must return in a hurry.
"To use your Return Pipe, just go to "Important Things" on the menu screen.
Just remember that in some areas, the signal from Flipside might not reach..."
Merlon: ...The Light Prognosticus foretells that the hero will meet a
"dimension governor". And from him, the hero will learn the dimensional
technique... I am almost certain this refers to my friend, the Flip
Wizard, Bestovius. So go now through this door, and seek out Bestovius!
[Mario nods]
Tippi: Well, let's get going...
[Mario and Tippi enter the red door]

Castle Bleck Scene 1  [BLK1]
--------------------
------------
Castle Bleck
------------
[A dark castle is shown with Count Bleck, the Dark Prognosticus, and all of his
loyal minions]
Count Bleck: BLEH HEH HEH HEH! BLECK! The Void has been ripped in the
dimensional fabric!
Count Bleck: Yes, Count Bleck is pleased. All has gone as foretold in the Dark
Prognosticus. Now it's just a matter of time until all worlds meet
their demise! Bleck!
O'Chunks: Wow, that's just super, Count! Yeah, first you'll erase all these
naughty worlds... And then you're gonna build a perfect world without
war and all that other icky stuff!
Dimentio: Yes, yes, no one likes the icky stuff... Yesss... A perfect world...
Sounds magical... Ah ha ha. I can hardly stand the wait.
Voice: Sorry I'm late!
[Another O'Chunks appears, and he notices his carbon copy]
O'Chunks: What in blazin' bog rats...? How'd I beat meself 'ere?! What's goin'
on?!
O'Chunks (Fake): Mimimimimimimimimimimimi! Oh, O'Chunks, you big silly! Didja
oversleep or something?
[He turns into Count Bleck]
Count Bleck (Fake): I guess it's kinda hard to be on time, though, when you've
got muscles instead of brains!
[O'Chunks gets agitated]
O'Chunks: 'EY! Yeh can't fool me wit' that crazy shape-shiftin' hooliganry!
It's Mimi, innit?! Show a little respect fer the count! Yeh can't go
a'borrowin' 'is face, lass!
Count Bleck (Real): Bleh heh heh heh heh... How delightful, Mimi. Almost as
dapper...as Count Bleck!
[Mimi turns into Peach]
Princess Peach (Fake): Aw, golly, thanks, Count! With you around, it's nothing
but big smiles all the time! Hanging out with the count!
That's MY idea of a perfect world!
Dimentio: And here I thought Mimi's ideal world was a gem-filled pool with
hunky lifeguards...
[Mimi turns into Bowser]
Bowser (Fake): Hey! Dimentio! Have you been reading my diary? I mean... Umm...
Never mind.
Count Bleck: Bleh heh heh heh heh heh... Well, different strokes for different
minions...
Count Bleck: After these rotten worlds are ended, Count Bleck will make all
your dreams come true! But for that to happen...we must follow the
instructions of the Dark Prognosticus.
[Nastasia, Count Bleck's most loyal follower, speaks]
Nastasia: Yeah, about that, just an FYI? I've got an urgent memo for your
inbox...
Nastasia: Apparently there's been some unapproved interdimensional activity
lately. Yeah... I'm thinking it's the hero of prophecy. We're gonna
need an action plan for this guy...
Count Bleck: A dimensional interloper! And possibly the hero?! You are sure of
it, Nastasia? Interesting, mused Count Bleck. We must put an end
to this nuisance...
O'Chunks: Count Bleck!
O'Chunks: Lemme get this right in me brain. The 'ero Nastasia's goin' on
'bout... He yer enemy? Then yeh gotta cut me loose on 'im! Yeh gotta!
I'll give 'im a nice taste o' O'Chunks!
Count Bleck: Very well, O'Chunks. I'll leave the hero-chunking to you. Do not
fail Count Bleck.
O'Chunks: Yeh can count on me, Count! I'll rain down like a fat thunderstorm! I
swear it!
[He turns to Mimi and Dimentio]
O'Chunks: Mimi! Dimentio! Yeh should tag along! Yeh could witness a proper
chunkin'!
[O'Chunks leaves]
Dimentio: Mmm... I do enjoy a good chunking... Well, then... I believe I'll
head out as well.
[Dimentio leaves]
Count Bleck: Bleh heh heh heh heh... So, hero... You would defy Count Bleck?
Then hurry, for your world's end draws near... BLEH HEH HEH HEH!
BLECK!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 1-1: The Adventure Unfolds  [CH11]
----------------------------------
"Mario was called upon once again to save the world...no small task. Could he
prevent Count Bleck from pulling off his sinister plot? Would Mario reunite
with Princess Peach? A truly interdimensional adventure was about to begin..."
-------------
Lineland Road
-------------
[The stage's background is drawn, then Mario and Tippi come out of a red door]
Tippi: I feel the Pure Heart. But it's still far from here...
[Mario turns to Tippi]
Tippi: Merlon told us to find his friend, Bestovius, to learn that dimensional
technique. We'd better go find him...
[Mario nods]
Tippi: One more thing... If you want to learn about anything, just use my
power... I know about many things...
[A Wii Remote appears onscreen]
"Simply point your Wii Remote at the screen and Tippi will focus on where you
point. Then, just press A over anything framed in red to hear more about it.
Feel free to ask Tippi about anything or anyone you want!"
[Mario makes his way through the area, stomping Goombas and the like. He
eventually comes to a house, then enters it. It appears empty. He looks
around to no avail]
Tippi: This is not an empty house... There's something in this room. I can feel
it... I can help you find hidden things. Why don't you use my power to
look around?
[He uses Tippi's powers to find a hidden door]
Tippi: There's a hidden door here... Let me make it visible for you...
[The door appears]
Tippi: It's a door... Let's go inside...
[They enter the door]
Voice: Hmmmmmmmm?
[A weird wizard-like person is shown. This is Bestovius]
Bestovius: What is this meager mustache that stands before me? And how does it
have the audacity to address my multicolored glory? ...How did these
flimsy whiskers detect my secret door...
[He notices Mario's clothes]
Bestovius: Wait right there! Red shirt...conspicuous white gloves...jaunty
cap... Hah! You are garbed in the rich cloth of the hero of
prophecy! You must be the great...
[Mario points to himself]
Bestovius: HERO...impersonator!
[Mario falls over]
Bestovius: What a costume! You look like you leaped out of the pages of the
Prognosticus!
[Mario gets up and explains]
Tippi: This is Mario! He's dressed like this because he IS the hero... Merlon
told us to find you.
Bestovius: Merlon?! Only his full-bodied beard rivals my hairy magnificence...
If Merlon thinks you are the true hero, you probably are. *quietly*
I think... Well, then. As the ancient prophecy fortells... I,
Bestovius, will bestow upon you the ancient secrets of dimensional
flipping. ...For a nominal fee of 10,000 coins!
Tippi: But that's preposterous! You can't charge to teach the hero of the
prophecy!
Bestovius: Why not? Even the great and splendiferous Bestovius has certain...
expenditures. Why should the hero get the world delivered to him on
a well-garnished platter? These heroes think they can get away with
shaking people down for free skills! A mere 10,000 coins should be
nothing for a hero of the universe. What do you say?
- Yes
- No
[If "No" is chosen...]
Bestovius: I see. So be it. I will settle for just taking all the coins in your
pocket. Do we have a deal?
[If "Yes" is chosen...]
Bestovius: Fantabulous! Wait a moment. You lack 10,000 coins?! I should have
expected such cheapskatery from a hero with a scrimpish mustache!
Now that I know you are determined to cheat me out of my tribute...
I will settle for just taking all the coins in your pocket.
- Yes
- No
[If "Yes" is chosen...]
Bestovius: Scintillating! Let us begin!
[If "No" is chosen...]
Bestovius: Still you refuse?! So be it. Though it makes me ill, I will waive
the nominal fee and teach you for free. Do you agree to this?
- Yes
- No
[If "No" is chosen...]
Bestovius: How dare you! I have never suffered such an assault to my splendor!
Begone! You are unfit to stand before my shining magnificence!
[If "Yes" is chosen...]
Bestovius: Scintillating! Let us begin!
[He floats over to Mario]
Bestovius: Flimmidy flammidy flooom! Diggidy daggidy dooom! Zibbidy zabbidy
zooom! SHABOOOM!
Bestovius: FLIPPOW!
[He enduces Mario with magic]
Bestovius: I, Bestovius, have granted you the ability to flip between
dimensions. Press A to slip between the very fabric of space and
flip between 2-D and 3-D! Well, what do you think? Mind blowing,
isn't it?
[Mario responds]
Bestovius: What is this A I speak of? I assure you that if we are being watched
from another dimension... Those beings will understand. But you lack
the mustache for full comprehension. Just remember that you can use
this ability to find hidden items and secret paths. But beware: use
your new ability too long, and you will lose HP.
[Mario and Tippi continue out of the building, and keep going through the
Lineland Road. Eventually they reach the level's end, and hit the star block
to end the chapter]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------
Chapter 1-2: Afoot in the Foothills  [CH12]
-----------------------------------
"And so Mario came to earn the stupendous ability of flipping between
dimensions. But there was no time to celebrate: Mario still had a Pure Heart
to find. The trail ahead was overrun with savage beasts. "Follow me," Tippi
said, as she flew toward the mountain that loomed ahead. The Pure Heart was
hidden somewhere on the other side."
--------------
Mount Lineland
--------------
Tippi: I feel that the Pure Heart is beyond this mountain...but it's still far,
far away. Something tells me you'll need to put that new skill of yours
to use.
[As Mario and Tippi continue their trek through the foothills, they come to a
house in the background, using a pipe to reach it. Inside, Mario flips into
3-D to find a person on a bed]
Red: Hey! HEY! You can see me!
[Mario nods]
Red: This is unbelievable! I've been freaking out here for days, and finally
someone sees me!
[Mario responds]
Red: A couple mornings ago, I roll out of the wrong side of bed... ...and once
I get my coffee, I realize I'm stuck in some freaky parallel dimension!
I've been hollering and flailing for days, but nobody could hear me...or
even see me. Just when I was starting to think I'd be here forever, I see
you!
Red: You just blipped in here out of thin air! I was thinking, if you can do
that, maybe I can hitch a ride back with you? Just stand next to me and
flip back to 2-D. I'll hold on!
[Mario flips back to 2-D with Red]
Red: WHUH! We did it! I'm back to normal! Listen, you really bailed me out
there. That 3-D business was freaking me out! The name's Red. Nice to meet
you!
Red: Say, uh...any way I can repay you?
[Mario nods]
Tippi: Actually, there is one thing... There's a huge chasm outside that we
need to cross.
Red: So you want to cross the chasm, huh? Well, you found yourself the right
guy! But hey, I've got to warn you. You know this place is called Impasse
Pass, right? I'm only allowed to let a choice few cross the bridge. It's
in my job description. I mean, that's why they pay me to stand here. You
sure you want to pass?
[Mario nods]
Red: Yeah... Well, you did save me from being trapped in a parallel dimension
and all... OK! I'm going to ask you a question. Get the right answer, and
I'll let you pass. Sound good? Here we go. What's the most manly color in
the entire universe? Red or green?
- Red!
- Green!
- Both!
[If "Green!" is chosen...]
Red: ...GREEN?! You're out of your mind! There's no way I can let a crazy like
you pass!
[He then kicks Mario out of the house. If "Both!" is chosen...]
Red: What?! ...BOTH?! We can't have any wishy-washy types like you hanging
around town!
[He then kicks Mario out of the house. If "Red!" is chosen...]
Red: Yes, you are SO right! I knew it! You and me, we see eye to eye on
fashion. I'll throw the bridge down. Hang on a sec.
[He jumps over his bed and flips a switch on his wall, which causes a bridge to
appear outside]
Red: All right, you should be good to go. You take 'er easy!
[Mario and Tippi head out of the house and they cross the bridge that Red made
appear. They come to Yold Town, a small town with an item shop and some other
houses. Eventually they come to another house in the background, in which they
find a man clothed in green inside]
Green: Heya, Mr. Red Shirt. You want me to flip the bridge down for you? Can't
do that. Nope. You need special permission from high up. It's the law.
No way am I doing hard time. You need the OK from Old Man Watchitt. Good
luck with that. That Yold-timer is more crab than man.
[Mario exits the house and goes back to the foreground, and then finds Watchitt
inside of a house]
Watchitt: Whoozit?! I'm the elder around here, so watch it! What do you want?
Get off my rug!
Tippi: Actually, we were hoping to pass through town.
Watchitt: Nothing but desert past here. There's treasure, but you'll get grit
in your grunders. That's what here is for. Yold Town. Keeps the
treasure safe from YOU. Watch it! Can't let you pass. See this little
guy in my pocket? He's got something to tell you. Know what he says?
WATCH IT! So give it up.
[Mario responds]
Watchitt: Whuzzat?! Whizzit?! You're the hero?! Dumplings! If you were, you'd
have a Pixl that's shaped like a hand. I might believe you're the
hero if you have one, but you don't. See this beard here? It's got
something to tell you. Know what it says? WATCH IT!
[Mario enters another house and finds a pipe in 3-D. He enters it, and soon
enough he comes to a room where the door behind him locks]
Tippi: Oh, no... The door... Now we're locked inside...
[Mario examines the big chest in front of him]
Chest: Sweet freedom!
[The chest opens, revealing a hand-shaped object]
Pixl: Wait a moment... If I have been set free, the legendary hero must have
done it! I express concern when the Ancients stuffed me in that chest
1,500 years ago... But it seems my fears were quite unfounded. The hero
has finally arrived!
Tippi: Are you...a Pixl?
Pixl: Why...YES! I am indeed a Pixl! My name is...Thoreau! You are a Pixl as
well? But you don't look familiar... Are you a newer model?
Tippi: I... Well, I... Ummm...
Thoreau: No matter! Details do bore me! What is important is the fact that I
have waited AGES to lend my skill to the hero. And, glorious day, here
you are! Do take me with you.... You simply must! You will, then?
Smashing!
[The Pixl joins Mario]
"The throwing Pixl, Thoreau, has joined you! Use him to pick up and throw
objects and enemies! You can even throw while you jump."
Thoreau: With me at your side, one may grasp objects with great vigor! Simply
press 1 to use my throwing ability!
[Mario responds]
Thoreau: What's this 1, you say? You need not worry. The great being that
watches us will know what it is. Just remember that I can grasp
objects and enemies and hurl them with gusto. Grab something with 1
and press 1 again to throw it. Why not take a moment to get
acquainted with my useful talent? You will need to use my ability to
get out of this room. Read, steady, GO!
[Mario uses Thoreau to pick up a nearby block, then he uses it to hit the blue
switch in the room, unlocking the door]
Thoreau: Glorious day! Consider me fully at your disposal. Now, to adventure
and beyond!
[They go back to Old Man Watchitt's house]
Watchitt: If you had that Pixl, I might believe you're the hero. Whuzzit?! You
do? 'Course you do! You're the hero! Knew it all along, watch it.
I'll give that Green feller a call. He'll let you across that bridge.
[He takes out his cellphone and calls Green]
Watchitt: Hello? Green? It's me, Watchitt. I said Watchitt... WATCH IT! WATCH
IT! I said Watchitt, not botch it! This hero feller wants to get
across the bridge. Yes, I told him about the grit. Ah... Yes. Let's
just keep that between us. Just let the mustache guy through.
[He hangs up]
Watchitt: Just get off my rug and go talk to Green at the edge of town...WATCH
IT!
Watchitt: Well, looks like I can finally retire, 'cause my job is done! When
you're in that desert, keep a watchful eye out for some ruins. The
treasure is there. Nasty beasts too. SO WATCH IT!
[Mario goes back to Green's house]
Green: I got a call from Old Man Watchitt. So you're that hero guy then, huh?
Right on! I'll put the bridge across for you straightaway!
[He flips a switch by his bed, making a bridge appear]
Green: There you go!
Green: Mind if I ask you a question? Red or green. What's better?
- Green!
- Red!
- Both!
[The outcome is the same either way. Mario crosses the bridge and hits the star
block to end the chapter]

Chapter 1-3: The Sands of Yold  [CH13]
------------------------------
"With a bold quiver of his magnificent mustache, Mario let loose a heart
sneeze. A single grain of sand had flown along the warm wind and tickled the
hero's nose. It wasn't long before Mario and Tippi found the source of the
sand: the Yold Desert. Along the endless, sunbaked expanse, Mario and Tippi
continued their search..."
-----------
Yold Desert
-----------
Tippi: Didn't Old Man Watchitt say something about there being some ruins
around here?
[Mario nods]
Tippi: The Pure Heart can't be far now... We'd better not waste any time...
[They go through the Yold Desert, defeating lots of dangerous enemies. They
eventually come to a Save Block, then they go through a door and hear the
voice of someone]
Voice: GRAH-GOOGLY! So yer the lad stickin' his 'stachy in me boss's
business!
[Mario looks around and doesn't find anyone, then O'Chunks lands onto the
ground and makes the door in front of him disappear]
O'Chunks: Yeh shouldn't 'ave crossed the count! Now I'm gonna 'ave teh get
chunky on yeh!
Tippi: You... You're one of Count Bleck's thugs, aren't you?!
O'Chunks: O'Chunks is me name! An' I'm no common thug, lass. I thug for the
count o' counts, Count Bleck hisself! One word from me Blecky-boy,
an' I come teh make yeh feel some hammage!
[Mario responds]
O'Chunks: Hammage? Ehhh... Make that "damage!"
[O'Chunks thinks for a moment, then gets annoyed]
O'Chunks: Whatever, then! Not that it matters a pinch o' stew in a sandstorm.
Yer a goner!
Tippi: Do you even know what Count Bleck is trying to do...?
O'Chunks: DEH! Me boy's usin' powers an' whatnot teh bring back some order teh
this 'ere world! An enemy o' Bleck an enemy o' mine! They all get
chunked!
Tippi: This O'Chunks is a lot scarier than the other enemies we've faced so
far... Maybe you should use my power to investigate him when we start
the battle...
O'Chunks: Enough is enough already! It's time teh thunder down from on high 'an
deliver a beatin' o' the ages. CHUNK ON IT!
[Mario battles O'Chunks. Once he's defeated...]
O'Chunks: I'M CHUNKED!
O'Chunks: Me chunks...yeh failed me! I got pummeled an yeh barely sweat yer
brow. 'Ey... What kind o' strange li'l man are yeh?
Tippi: This "strange li'l man" is none other than...the legendary hero, Mario!
O'Chunks: Maria, 'ey? 'Tis an odd name, yeh, but yeh can bet yer bebby I'll
remember that!
[Mario shakes his head]
Tippi: His name's not "Maria"... It's "MARIO"!
[O'Chunks gets up and stomps the ground]
O'Chunks: Yeh remember this, Maria! If yeh didn't look like such a wee toddler,
I wouldn't 'ave taken it so easy on yeh! But 'ey, I have teh give it
up fer yer effort, so let's call it a tie. Yeh better get some chunks
o' yer own for next time, though, 'ey! And while yer at it, why don't
yeh wax that bonny 'stache o' yours, Maria!
O'Chunks: 'Til we meet again, 'ey! CHUNKS AWAY!
[O'Chunks leaves and a door appears]
Tippi: Did you understand a word of what that goon was saying...?
[Mario and Tippi keep going through the desert, eventually solving a puzzle.
This reveals a star block, which Mario hits to end the chapter]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------
Chapter 1-4: Monster of the Ruins  [CH14]
---------------------------------
"Somehow, Mario had found the strength to cross the desert's sweltering dunes.
Ahead was a sprawling complex of ruins rising out of the sand. Thankful for
the shade, Mario and Tippi ventured deeper inside. They were the very ruins
Old Man Watchitt had warned them about. What dangers lurked in the shady
corridors ahead?"
----------
Yold Ruins
----------
Tippi: Mario, I can feel it calling... The Pure Heart is nearby... But, wait...
I sense something else emanating from the sand dunes. Be careful now,
Mario... Something else is waiting for us ahead...
[Mario and Tippi explore the ruins together. Eventually they find a switch
which is unreachable. Mario uses Thoreau to throw an enemy against the
switch, triggering something]
Tippi: Something happened outside the room...
[They continue to make their trek through the ruins, and eventually they take a
pipe that leads them outside. Mario eventually hears a voice]
Voice: WARNING!
[Mario notices a huge dragon that appears]
Fracktail: INTRUSION DETECTED. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY OR BE PURGED.
[He examines Mario more closely]
Fracktail: WAIT. SCAN INITIALIZED. RED CAP DETECTED. BLUE OVERALLS DETECTED.
LEVEL 5 MUSTACHE DETECTED. INCREDIBLE. POSSIBLE SUBJECT
IDENTIFICATION. BUT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. HOLD YOUR POSITION. SEARCHING
DATA BANKS...
[He searches]
Fracktail: SEARCH COMPLETE: ONE POSITIVE MATCH. SYSTEM OVERLOAD! LEGENDARY HERO
IDENTIFIED!
Fracktail: FORGIVE ME, HERO. I AM CALLED FRACKTAIL. MY ONLY PURPOSE IS TO
DEFEND THE PURE HEART FROM LAWLESS INTRUDERS. YOU ARE LATE. I HAVE
WAITED THOUSANDS OF YEARS FOR YOUR ARRIVAL. YOU MAY PASS. THE PURE
HEART IS JUST AHEAD.
Voice: Ah ha ha. It won't be that easy, oh no...
Fracktail: WHO SPEAKS?
[Dimentio appears]
Dimentio: So very nice to meet you...and your mustache! I am Count Bleck's
master of dimensions, the pleaser of crowds... I am...Dimentio!
Remember the name well...
Tippi: I know you. You're that...
Dimentio: It would be so very DULL if your journey ended so easily... Instead,
it ends with...magic!
[He uses his magic on Fracktail]
Fracktail: BZZZRRRRT.
Dimentio: Yes, much better... Now you and this robotic guardian can spend some
quality time... Yes, quality snack time! When he snacks...on you! For
you...ARE the snack! Ciao!
[Dimentio leaves]
Tippi: What did he just...
Fracktail: BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP. I AM ERROR. PRESS ANY KEY TO RESTART.
Fracktail: ...SYSTEM NOT FOUND. INSERT INSTALL DISC. DISC NOT FOUND. PLEASE
CONFIRM DISC COVER IS CLOSED. READ ERROR. INSERT BOOT DISC AND PRESS
ENTER. NO RESPONSE. SYSTEM MAY BE BUSY OR MELTING INTO SLAG.
APPLICATION ERROR. SAVE YOUR WORK AND QUIT. YOU LOST EVERYTHING. WAY

[Fracktail lowers his head a bit, then raises it back up]
Fracktail: BEEEBLEBLIP! C:/  run query identification
C:/  run insult generator
C:/  results: go away yeti-lip!
CTRL ALT DEL!
[He sinks into the sand, then rises back up. Mario then fights Fracktail. When
he goes out of view, Tippi speaks]
Tippi: Looks like Fracktail is charging straight at us... Better watch out...
[After a rather long battle, Fracktail gets defeated]
Fracktail: SYSTEM CRASH!
Fracktail: AGH-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G. I HAVE MALFUNCTIONED. WHAT HAVE I DONE...
HERO... HERO... THE ERROR IS MINE. I AM SORRY... SHAME CIRCUIT...
SMOLDERING. PLEASE... YOU MUST... SAVE... OUR... WORLD...
[Fracktail's body blows up, and his bones fall down. Then, a door appears,
which Mario enters. He's in a strange dark hallway, and as he goes down the
hallway, he hears a voice]
Voice: Welcome, hero. My name is Merlumina.
[Mario looks around, then a wizard's spirit appears]
Merlumina: I am a dormant soul... I have waited long to give you the Pure
Heart. Yes, I have been waiting for 1,500 years.
[The spirit floats down]
Merlumina: Your presence here must mean that all worlds have begun to
collapse.
Tippi: Yes, they have, in fact... That's why we're here...
Merlumina: Before I give you the Pure Heart, you and I must speak. Listen well,
hero.
[Mario nods]
Merlumina: Long, long ago...my people built a civilization hailed as a beacon
of culture. Sadly, despite our power, there was one thing we were
powerless to stop: The Dark Prognosticus.
[Mario nods]
Merlumina: Nobody knows who authored the dark book. It foretold the events of
the future. On the last page, it was written that a chaotic power
would devour the world.
Merlumina: We knew it had to be stopped. Our greatest minds devised a grand
plan to stop the tragedy before it happened. We needed something
with the pure essence of love to confront this chaos. Researchers
set to work...and they created the Purity Heart. We divided the
