Dear Readers,
Today I'll talk about getting stuck in Doop Doop Dunes Grotto and rescuing the Paper Toads in the desert Toad Village from the Fly Guys.
Since the last session I completely forgot how to do the Trio Hammer thing and I got stuck behind some cactus balls! I remembered though and then was able to make my way through the cave.
The Sandmaarghs I'm having a tough time dodging. They're a bit too big and fast at the moment. I managed to get the Spiny avoiding challenge complete though.
Plenty more of those cactus ball puzzles along the way too. When we get through them all, we reach a pipe that takes us above ground to a desert Toad Village. A Paper Toad greets us and asks for help. Then a Paper Toad rescuing mission starts and it's timed! There are 7 to rescue from Fly Guys in 20 minutes. The Fly Guys attack by dropping spiked balls and bombs and charging into us.
The first we see held captive near a bouncy pad. When we rescue him he thanks us and thought he was going to be flying around forever. The second we see flying high and we have to break some blocks and bounce up to his rescue. He's glad to be back walking on terra firma. The third is flying around in a circle and we have to hit a cactus ball at his captor. When we rescue him he says we sure know our way around a hammer. The fourth is held over some Sandmarrghs and asks for our autographs when we rescue him. Here we have to be careful not to bump into the Sandmarrghs! I bumped into one and they eat up time! The fifth is around this area too and says it's a good thing we showed up, because he was going to really mess the Fly Guys up. Bit of a tough guy this one. The sixth and seventh are both held by Fly Guys hovering over a slope. It's a good thing we can stay on the slope by running against it. If it was like in Super Mario 64, it would be rage inducing! These guys are also accompanied by Paper Bob-ombs and they can be really nasty to deal with. If you can whack the angry copies into their cohorts, then the battle will go even better than you can expect! The sixth wonders why they picked him to kidnap and the seventh calls us his heroes.
After completing the event with about 8 minutes to go, we're back at the desert Toad Village. They thank us and Starlow asks them for something that'll help us jump really high. Shortly, Lakitu shows up and informs us that we'll need 8 more Paper Toads to do it.
