Dear Readers,
Today I'll talk about the first Papercraft Battle! At least, I expect it's the first of many. I guess you can compare it to the Impact battles from Mystical Ninja: Starring Goemon or the giant Luigi or Bowser battles from previous games, in that you're a giant and you're doing all these tactical remote movements to fight on a grand scale. It's a fun theme in Japanese popular culture.
On leaving Toad Village, we find that the Goombas came back with reinforcements and they lift the papercraft Goomba. Then Toadette shows up with a papercraft Mario, lifted by the Toads. The battle begins!
Battles take place in a 3D Arena with spectators from both sides standing on surrounding cliffs and hills cheering on. Attacking is done by charging into the enemy and by throwing the papercraft Mario on top of them. The music is fun and fast paced and gives you the impression that someone's going somewhere in a hurry.
We beat some of the Goombas and then they get angry, so they bring out a big one with a crown called the Megacrinkle Goomba. This one moves around faster but is manageable enough. When we beat it, we get an iron ball hammer, which I give to Luigi; and the Mush Jams, which I'll save for later. I'll add gear slots for stuff like this.
With the papercraft Goomba out the way, we make our way to Doop Doop Dunes!
