Dear Readers,
Today I'll talk about meeting a very hungry Wiggler who asks us to collect berries for him. I'll also talk about meeting Ninji and Paper Ninji(probably the coolest enemies in the game yet) and some Paper Spear Guys.
"You just don't give up, do you?".
Paper Magikoopa comes up to us when we enter the Gloomy Woods. He says he's too busy to deal with us right now. He then insults us and summons massive papercraft versions of his magic beam shot - giant triangles, circles and squares. "This should keep you busy!" he jeers as he flies off.
We gotta go the other way then I suppose! Along this way, we meet a big, sad-looking and hungry Wiggler, whose tummy rumbles and he asks us if we have something to eat. Nearby, there's a berry hanging from a tree, so we give that to him. He chirps happily, sounding a bit like Minnie Mouse! Wasn't expecting that out of him! We show him the blocked path and he goes on a rampage, turning red and breaking down the papercraft obstacles.
Just when we think we're making progress, he shows his hungry face and rumbly tummy again, blocking the path. He asks for 10 more berries to summon the energy to move out of the way! We all respond with ellipsis word balloons! Oh well! Might as well find some more berries!
There's a shrub nearby that has the first berry. We do a Trio Grab to collect it. To the south, there's a little grove that has the Koopa Troopa Wear. I don't give it to anyone. Heading back to where we first met Wiggler, we knock the second, third and fourth berries down with a Trio Hammer. We each catch one at the same time. The fifth berry we grab by knocking a stump out of the way and using it as a platform to reach the berry. We see another held by a Paratroopa but we can't reach it from here. On the next screen, we find the sixth berry by reaching across the river.
Here we meet Ninji and Paper Ninji. On the field, they do clever camouflage tricks. They attack with fake copies of themselves. They also fold themselves into shurikens! Very nice idea! :) They're pretty cool enemies actually. They can adapt their defensive moves, depending on our attacks. When we use too much of jumping or hammering, they can adapt and block it completely by turning into a block of wood! Very clever! I stall on the first battle with them and pass the dodge challenge for the regular Ninji. In the next battle, I pass the one for the Paper Ninji too.
On the wall in this area, there's what looks like a strange soil path running along it. I bet we learn something that'll help us use this later!
Then we meet some Paper Spear Guys. We can't jump on them, so we have to use hammers. They attack by aiming their spears in a line towards their target.
I grab the seventh berry south of here. The Paratroopa we saw earlier tries to keep the eighth berry he has away from us, because he wants to give it to Bowser and earn a promotion. He says he's tired of being a grunt. When we grab it from him, he's bummed out and has to go find something else. He wonders what to get for the dictator who has everything and flies off. I feel kinda bad for this guy...
I find the ninth berry under a waterfall and the tenth on top of a stone block nearby.
We head back to Wiggler and give him the rest of the berries. He still won't move though and wants some dessert! Just then, a Yellow Yoshi runs by, happy with himself that he found a huge melon. He runs off and looks for a quiet place to enjoy it. Wiggler says that melon is his favourite food and tells us to get him that melon or else he won't move. We follow the Yellow Yoshi back to the Toad Village.
