21 Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros - Starlow's a JERK, Slave Toads and Jail Toads

Dear Readers,

Today I'll talk about how much of a MEANIE Starlow is and about meeting the Toads forced to work for Bowser by mining ore.

Back to us and our escape from Twinsy Tropics Dungeon. We come across Paper Scaredy Rats, who like to run around us as their attack or at us in a straight line. We can use our Trio Grab here to pull wooden bridges across gaps where they can be found. There are also some more of those weird cracked purple rocks here.

In the next area, we come across a big spiky door with Bowser's face on it. Starlow relays Luigi's babbling as this being something we should remember because it's always some kind of foreshadowing device, with the word "foreshadowing" in big font. Wow...

Then, when Luigi gets himself upset about all the Toads calling for his help, she says that's not realistic as they'll be calling for Mario's help. Wow...

Then, she listens to Mario's input and says "Good thinking!" before going right up to the camera in eye popping 3D and says to me, the player, "Now back to the adventure!". Wow!

Starlow's a jerk! I know that Luigi being in Mario's shadow is a running gag but still! How mean!

So, moving on to the left along the conveyor belt, we see two Toads heave one of those big purple rocks. They tell us they're all aches and pains from the labour they're forced to do. The conveyor belt brings the purple rocks to Bowser's Castle but they don't know what they're used for. They can't escape because of the guards and one of them is coming so we have to hide nearby.

Roy Koopa appears and gives out to the Toads for not toiling. He leaves soon and the coast is clear.

Moving on to the next area we find Rally Wear but I don't give it to anyone yet. I keep messing up in trying to pass the Paper Hammer Bros. dodge challenge! They fake out some of their hammer throws!

Soon, we come across another jailtoad. He says he can't figure out what Bowser wants with the purple ore. It couldn't be food or jewelry so maybe it's a fuel source. He ponders this to pass the time.
