Dear Readers,
The title screen has changed! Before it was just Mario and Luigi onscreen. Now, Bowser and everyone from the Paper World are here and there's a cute little looping animation of them all running around the place. Hang out and have a watch! The title screen music is lovely. It's a bit like the battle theme and has a lively tambourine beat. On the bottom screen, the Paper Toads are facing the Paper baddies on the right.
We've levelled up a few times during these recent battles but we don't have the stat boosting choice yet.
We explore Sunbeam Plains a little bit more. The mini game where the block moves back and forth from before can now be done with Paper Mario as well. It seems to keep a different high score too but I'm not sure.
Dashing is great. We can dash forever as long as we hold the Circle Pad in a direction. It doesn't stop when we hit a wall or move to the next screen either. Great fun :)
Anyway, I forget how to do the slide, so I check the tutorials and practise with Starlow. She says "Aww, thanks for the hug! ♥" when we catch her.
It seems you can only slide when the ! symbol appears. Didn't know that. Anyway, dashing into enemies only does damage to one in a group with all three characters. Jumping on them gives them all a bit of damage with one character.
Another thing I love about jumping on baddies in battle and getting excellent hits is the way Mario & Luigi do these acrobatic somersaults when they finish! Paper Mario does too! They all look really classy when they get an excellent hit and it feels really good.
We venture back along Sunbeam Plains, get coins from the Spinny Flowers and come across an orange trampoline thingy. After dashing into it, it springs us onto a little island with Cosy Wear. I equip it on Luigi, seeing how his speed is lower than the others. I want to use his fire flower move to get more expert challenge points too.
There's the odd crevice or two that are easy to miss! Make sure to check everything so that you may find everything!
We head back to Peach's Castle. Nothing has changed here with the Paper Toads and the green counter at the shop is still closed. We can redeem expert challenge points but there may be better items to use them on later. Might as well save them up.
Let's head forward through Sunbeam Plains again.
