Soooo turns out we're not going to Seattle. In a nutshell, when we moved to this house we had trouble selling the old one so we just rented it out, but now it has all these terrible problems going on with it that we have to pay for and it's going to cost us thousands of dollars. So there goes our extra cash.

On the bright side, that at least frees up my schedule so I can do other stuff. Not to mention John is going to come here in August (his band is going on tour), and plus I'm sure he'll come here for Christmas and all so it's not like we wont get to see him this year or anything. I just feel bad we can't do more to help.

BUT ANYWAY enough of that. It's time for...
SUPERSTAR SAGA!

Previous episodes





So, the last Beanstar piece happens to be in Chucklehuck woods. Let's check it out!




Well, darn. Looks like we're gonna have to do something about that.




COMFORTING WORDS




Acknowledgement, just what we need!







Sounds easy enough.











Why thank you, random Winkle




I decided to skip the explanation since I'm already kind of cutting it close with size, here. Basically there's these Chuckorocks (who look and act suspiciously like Octoroks) who shoot these red orbs at you, and you have to deflect them so they bounce back and hit the Chuckorocks. It sounds easy, but it can actually get kind of crazy.






Hurrah!







THE ONLY THING I'VE EVER WANTED IN LIFE



Anyway, moving on. GASP! I WONDER WHO THAT COULD BE?











Mario Bros.: :B





No matter what Popple says, he's still a wuss. He has a new attack where he takes out a bag and starts throwing random junk at you which will occasionally have a bob-omb or an invincishroom that'll damage you, but he also throws things like coins and mushrooms and the bad stuff doesn't do that much damage anyway so pfff whatever. I beat him in a few turns.






RUN, CHARLIE
RUN STRAIGHT HOME






And underground he goes.



And back to BeanBean Castle. HAY QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN







WHOOPEEEEE





Hahaha, apparently they're using an orange GBA this time. I like the idea of there being multiple Gameboys in the castle. THEY BATTLE POKEMON IN THEIR SPARE TIME




And wow, the Beanstar was revived like two seconds ago and Bowletta is already on the case. I wonder if she installed hidden cameras while she was impersonating Lady Lima or something



IN OTHER WORDS, THE PLACE WHERE ALL MY JOKES COME FROM
*badum-ching*



THANK GOD






Heh, Queen Bean is just as confused as we are over Bowletta's gender




Gasp! But what other use could Bowletta have for the Beanstar??????





Woo!
Heh, I like how he wound up getting a fake Beanstar instead of the real one like he said he would. YEAH DEFINITELY GETTING THAT BEANSTAR BEFORE YOU GUYS, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. BY THE WAY DO YOU HAVE ANY NEWSPAPER YOU'RE NOT USING?





Curse that dress-wrecking heathen!





Aww. Don't worry, Toadsworth. Your contribution is very important. VERY IMPORTANT. ARE YOU LISTENING OUT THERE?





Hint: Go surfing









SCORE






CUUUUUUURSE YOOOOOOOOOOU PEEEEEEEEAAAASSSSLLLEEEEEEEYYYYY
Well, except the Mario Bros. ARE from Mushroom Kingdom. Oh man, if they were to take all their Beanbean coins and turn them into Mushroom coins then they would be as rich as kings. Though at the same time, Fatty McWhatshisface back at Stardust Fields said that my 116 Mushroom coins only amounted to 10 Beanbean coins, but then again he could very well have just been trying to swindle me out of my money. I DON'T KNOW. THE CURRENCY IN THIS GAME CONFUSES ME.

Anyway after this you go and get the final hammer upgrade from the Hammerhead Bros., but this episode is too big and has already been pretty much stripped down to the bare basics, so I decided to just save it for next time. Stupid size limit.



Anyhow, moving on.



HMMM
BUT WHY IS THE WORD 'SOMETHING' IN GREEN TEXT??




ALRIGHT LUIGI YOU HEARD HIM IN YOU GO
Now I want a poptart.




That's the best surfboard ever.



Whirlpool! I think there's only two whirlpools in the whole ocean. I know one takes you down the path where you went to Oho Oasis, and the other takes you to some place where you can dig up some beans.



Haha, I wasn't even searching for him or anything, I just kind of came across him. COOL



Putting Luigi back to normal. This is cute/funny at first, but can get a little tedious after a while since it happens every time you stop surfing. Eh well.



WELCOME TO JOKE'S END. The "Element Palace" theme I plugged a few episodes back plays here, giving this place a kind of eerie vibe.







Hahaha, Luigi is already getting creeped out by this place. WHO CAN BLAME HIM




SIMPLE ENOUGH







Hahahaha. Really, you can only imagine how weird their story must sound to outsiders.






WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT
This place CAN be pretty difficult, though, especially if you haven't been levelling like crazy. The monsters here are pretty strong, especially... what're they called? I wanna say "Grumph" for some reason but I doubt that's right. But they're these big cavemen-type things that have like 200 HP and can do about like 20 damage to you if they hit and they pop up constantly and I hate them SO MUCH. You have to use Bros. Attacks on them if you want to kill them quickly, and even then it can take a little while depending on how strong you are. arhgahgnadfg







And in video game-speak, that means "BOIL THIS IMMEDIATLEY"





how did you even get here






And when she says "real challenge," she's right, since Mario and Luigi have to get separated here.



PRESS ON, BRAVE SOUL



Some adventuring later...






Cool.




Success!





HEY




So that's what it does!



More adventuring later...



Heh, what a strange insult. GOD QUIT CHASING ME ALREADY DON'T YOU PEOPLE WANT DATES




What a bee-yoo-tiful viewwwwww



Even more adventuring later...








I didn't really catch this, but they sort of looked around and went "hmmmmm" before cautiously sitting down and rubbing their hands together to warm up. I don't blame them for being suspicious, personally




It doesn't matter what you choose, here. I just chose Teeheena because it sounds funny. TEEHEENA






GAHHHH







and by "take good care of" i mean "beat up"
Okay, this is kind of a unique battle. I'll explain in a sec.




And off she goes!
Alright. So. You don't HAVE to beat Jojora to win this battle, but you can and I usually go ahead and do it because hey, more EXP and items. Now if you plan on beating them both you have to beat Jojora first, or else she'll be like WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY FRIEND YOU CREEP and run off. The thing is, everything you do to Jojora only does 1 damage, and everytime you counter one of her attacks she runs off for a few turns (as shown in the above screenshots). So what do you do? You let her go ahead and pummel you, and just patiently widdle down her HP. One way to speed it up a little is to use Mario's 'Chopper Bros.' attack, since that hits multiple times. Unfortunately for me, I'm a retard and didn't even think of that until like the last couple hits. HURF






When she's like this, I think her DEF and/or POW increases, but I'm not sure. I think she maaay also either be immune or more resilient against Firebrand, but again, I'm not sure. She's weak against Firebrand while she's blonde, I know that much.




What happens when you attack Teeheena while Jojora is on-screen. Not only can that attack damage you if you don't escape, but it also heals both Jojora and Teeheena :< Quite a nasty attack indeed.





Aaaaaand occasionally Teeheena will run up to a brother and make out with him, possibly poisoning him. I LET HER DO IT JUST TO SHOW YOU



Jojora's attack. As you can see it isn't too terrible, but it can add up, especially with Teeheena pounding on you as well. But if you have a lot of mushrooms, syrup, patience, and if you can more or less dodge Teeheena's attacks, you can easily beat the both of them.



And get a sweet reward for it, too!
Oh, this reminds me, I cut out shots of me leveling in this episode to save some room. I'm about 37 or 38 here, though.








Moving on from the Jojora and Teeheena encounter...



GASP






Mario: WELL LUIGI YOU HEARD THE MAN GO HAND OVER THE BEANSTAR
Luigi: oh god oh god








NO OUR PLAN IS RUINED







helmet loev beanstar













GASP
BUT
WHAT COULD MARIO BE PLANNING??????






man I still can't take Bowletta seriously at all. THAT FACE AHAHAHAHAHA




BOING BOING











Mario: lol




GASP
By the way, I hope you remember what I said during the Donkey Kong-esque barrel-jumping mini-game back at Woohoo Hooniversity. There were way too many hyphens in that last sentence.





Imagine a sound clip of the most feminine giggle in the world playing here





GASP
NO!














plop












Awwwwww








'BUNCH OF FREAKS, THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE
SWITCHIN' PRINCESSES AROUND ALL WHOOP-DEE-DO








"I'm just... surprised."






:O!!










I love everything about this game





DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNN







RUN LUIGI




RUN FOR YOUR LIFE








Princess*Luigi's laughing animation is the best. I can't find a sprite of it, though.
and man you two you can just blow the crates up or something you know






Aww, I thought Luigi was gonna run around in his dress while I was playing this. Wow, there's a sentence I never thought I'd type.





GO LUIGI WOO




geronimoooooooo







THIS DOESN'T SOUND GOOD




ahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa









OH NO



Hahaha wow I never noticed before but Peasley is totally making a ;) face in this



ahahaha WELL SO MUCH FOR THAT PLAN





With a couple backflips and a swan dive






nyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee



eeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa



aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmm



*explosion*

















MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY



Whenever I read this, I just think of this. SOMETHING ABOUT THIS VIDEO DOES NOT BELONG







BYE PEASLEY



She may get a dreadful sunburn and it would be most unpleasant










GUESS WHO







Poor Luigi just never gets a break.



Aaaaand I stupidly missed my last chance to get a Monty Mole spot around here. It's around where Guffawha is, which you can only get to if you're alone since the elevator only has a capacity of one. Oh well.




There he is!








"Mario!"



"Luigi!"



Awwwwwww





Popple: The perfect element for every touching reunion.






AHAHAHAHAHA
Fun Fact: In the manual for Super Mario Bros. 2, Birdo's description is "He thinks he is a girl and he spits eggs from his mouth. He'd rather be called 'birdetta.'" So Birdo is technically a transsexual, if that description still applies to her today










OR BIRDETTA
















Haha, wow, I actually got it right on the first try
OH AND BEFORE I FORGET I think you get extra items if you defeat Popple first. That's what I heard, anyway. I'm guessing he just does the "I'LL REMEMBER THIS" before running off thing if you defeat Birdo.






lol












That's the spirit, Birdo!





Well time to go back to-- OH MY GOD








YES I TAKE URGENT MATTERS VERY SERIOUSLY THANK YOU
I think in this shot I was actually bean-hunting so I could make a certain drink at the Starbeans Cafe (which I'll show later since this episode is too big), and I just stumbled upon this Monty Mole spot. AND I REPEAT



Doing what I'm supposed to do now





Queen Bean just totally dropped from the ceiling. how'd she get up there anyway




Bowser's Castle: sup






Note to self: See if you can bug them.








IT'S REAL USEFUL INFORMATION MAN, TRUST ME







ahahahahaaaaaaaa





I thought I had missed a shot here, but apparently he actually does just cut her off and run to go save the day. OH, PEASLEY






hahaha, Luigi.






SO
WHAT AWAITS OUR HEROES AT BOWSER'S CASTLE?
ONLY TIME WILL TELL

Woooo we're practically at the end of the game, now. I can't believe how quickly this run-through has gone by, especially compared to how Chain of Memories took me like SEVEN MONTHS. Then again I was lazier and got stuck a lot, so

Well that sucks. :< Wheeee surprises


WOOT and yet I can't help but be disappointed that Peasley didn't actually get any of the Beanstar pieces or show up more often during this. :'(

MAYBE THEY'LL GUARD IT A LITTLE BETTER THIS TIME.

:D So that's what he was doing!

Hahahahahahahahhh extra dress... OH. Oh, I think I see where this is going. XD

WOO infinite money! :D

Hahhaahhahahhhha okay maybe not. I THINK MAYBE THAT GUY'S SCREWING AROUND WITH THE EXCHANGE RATE.

LOL what. I really wasn't expecting Surfboard!Luigi. :P

SORRY YOUR PRINCESS IS IN ANOTHER CASTLE. WEIRDOS.

Hahah I love that she has nothing better to do than go around being ahead of them and mocking them.

Hahahah so they're the first people ever to climb all the way up there? I guess the natives just use the elevator. :B

HOW IS THAT A REWARD

man why did they even bring the real BeanStar along with them

I WONDER WHO THAT COULD BE I do wonder where he got the wig, though.

FIRE AT WILL XD

HOW DID YOU TRICK US AGAIN THIS NEVER HAPPENS

Umbrella dress!

Peasley: I'LL SAVE YOU LUIGI whoops forgot my flying cushion only seats one. :O

Hahaha and then he just floats down. :B

And he looks all hopeful when he says that, trying to be all casual.

*SNORT* hahahahhafj;dsfk SPEAKING THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE

HI PEASLEY
FANCY SEEING YOU HERE AGAIN

Wheeeeeee :D

YEAH it would've been cool if they had met up more. GOD PEASLEY CAN'T YOU FLY FASTER

SERIOUSLY YOU GUYS you would think they'd just safely lock it up in the castle after having gone through all that trouble

OH, THAT? HE GOT IT OUT OF HIS CLOSET OF COURSE
JUST HAS THEM LAYING AROUND

It's really easy to miss just 'cause of how quick and subtle it is :O I probably never would have noticed if I hadn't had a screenshot of it. THAT WILY OL' PEASLEY

SAME HERE I always get stuck there and wind up going in circles like a tard for some reason. SOMETHING ABOUT THAT PLACE, I DON'T KNOW

COME STAY WITHIN MY LOVING ARMS, BABY. WINK WINK.

I KNOW god i got stuck there for so long. THAT AND THE OCEAN. SCREW THEM BOTH.
