Prologue: A Ghostly Rouge's Welcome
Danny Fenton and Sam Manson were watching Tucker Foley play Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
"This is my twenty-seventh game file," said Tucker.
"You'll never believe how interesting that is," said Sam, sarcastically.
The screen showed a house with the word 'MARIO' on it as a winged turtle delivered the mail and a mustachioed man in blue overalls and a green shirt and hat got the mail. The man brought the mail in and said, "Mario, you got a letter from Princess Peach!" A shorter mustachioed man in blue overalls and a red shirt and hat came into the room. "Here, let me just read this to you," said the green man. The scene changed to a town skyline with a transparent letter over it. The letter read: Hello there, Mario! I am now on holiday, traveling in the Mushroom Kingdom. In my travels, I came into possession of a mystical map…a treasure map, actually. I thought you could help me hunt for it! You will, of course, won't you? I'll meet you at Rougeport. (That means you MUST come!) - Peach The scene went back to the house. "Wow, there is a weathered, old map in here," said greenie. A close-up of the map was shown.The scene then changed to show a boat crossing a sea, stopping in the middle of the screen as the words 'Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door' appeared over it.
Back in Tucker's room a voice said, "Well, Daniel, here you are playing videogames. I thought you were more prepared. Oh yes, I forgot, you're only fourteen." This voice belonged to Vlad Plasmius, Danny's arch-enemy.
"I'm going ghost!" shouted Danny as he turned into Danny Phantom.
"Now, Daniel, it wouldn't be appropriate to fight in here, would it," said Vlad as he grabbed Danny, turned both of them intangible, and headed toward the TV, expecting to go through it. The result, however, was quite different.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Danny and Vlad appeared, not outside Tucker's house, but at the dock of a roguish looking town.
"Rougeport," said Danny.
"You've been here before?" asked Vlad.
"No, but I remember the name from Tucker's game," explained Danny.
"Ah, then you must know how to get out," said Vlad.
"Uh, no," said Danny. He looked around seeing walking bombs and mushroom people. "But maybe someone around here does," he suggested.
They floated over to a blue bomb with a yellow and blue, striped bandana. "Hey, do you know-" started Danny.
"G-g-g-g-ghosts!" screamed the bomb as it ran off.
"Daniel, obviously, we won't keep up a conversation in our ghost forms," said Vlad as he turned into Vlad Masters.
"You're right," said Danny as he turned into Danny Fenton.
"Oh no, this is not good," said a voice. Danny and Vlad turned around to see a blond, curly haired fairy wearing a white shirt, a red skirt, and a red three-cornered hat.
"Excuse me, what's not good?" asked Danny.
"A lot, but mostly you two being here." said the fairy, "My name's Wanda by the way. Oh man, this is not good."
"Can you explain what's happening?" asked Vlad.
"Oh yes." said Wanda, "Welcome to Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. You two came here by an accident. The star spirits said that you both have ghost powers and came here by inserting yourselves into the game."
"I'm sorry," said Danny, "it was an accident."
"Oh, what's done is done," said Wanda, "I must explain to you that the only way out is to beat the game. I will be your guardian angle, so to speak. If anything goes horribly wrong, I'll help. Oh man, you two have no knowledge of this world. I'm currently inserting what you guys need to know into your brains. (Eww.)"
"I got it, I know everything from Anti Guy to Zap Tap," said Danny.
"That Bowser sounds like an agreeable chap. I would like to meet him," said Vlad.
"Oh no, please, don't do that!" said Wanda. "You two have to work together if you both want to get out."
Vlad sighed, "Well Daniel, as much as I hate it, to get out we must agree to a truce." He held out his hand.
"Agreed," said Danny as he shook Vlad's hand.
"Well, Mario's boat will be here soon. Work with Mario," said Wanda.
Danny saw a boat coming up. "Well, I guess, that's his boat," he said.
The boat stopped and a mustachioed man with blue overalls, a red shirt and hat with an 'M' on it, and brown hair came out.
"You wouldn't happen to be Mario would you?" asked Vlad.
"Oh yeah," said Mario.
"Well, could we help you in your journey?" asked Danny.
Mario thought about this a little before shaking his head.
Danny and Vlad went into their ghost forms. "How about now?" asked Vlad.
"Whoa!" screamed Mario.
"Calm down," said Danny, "we're here to help." He fired a ghost beam into the water, causing it to evaporate.
Mario was shocked for a while before realizing he needed all the help he could get. He then nodded his head.
They then walked toward the northern part of the dock, where the stairs to town were.
The group then heard a scream. They saw a small, pink mushroom in archeologist clothes and a blond ponytail walking backwards, away from a big guy in purple pants, a black shirt with an 'X' on it, a red cape, goggles, and a purple, Viking-like helmet. With him were two smaller guys in uniforms that had a red shirt with an 'X' on it, goggles, and a white hat that covered their entire faces.
"Leave me alone, I'll scream!" said the goomba girl.
"Just tell us what we want and we'll let you go," said the big guy.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" shouted the goomba girl.
"Don't play dumb, no matter how hard that is to do. We know you've been asking about the crystal stars. I guess we'll just have to bring you to our fort," said the big guy.
Mario, Danny, and Vlad tried to sneak by, but the goomba girl noticed them, hid behind them, and said, "Ha! Like I'd ever go anywhere with you creeps!"
"What, are you her body guards?" asked the big guy to Mario, Danny, and Vlad. They all looked around then shook their heads.
"No one messes with Lord Crump!" shouted Crump.
--BATTLE--
"Ok, battle time, guys." said the goomba girl.
Mario hit Crump with his hammer, Danny fired a ghost beam, and Vlad hit Crump with a ghost beam. This caused Crump to fall.
--Team Mario Won--
"Ow…" said Crump, "Ok! IT'S GO TIME!" Suddenly thousand of the smaller guys came and jumped at Mario, Danny, Vlad, and the goomba girl.
The goomba girl got out of the barrage and said, "Come on this way!" Danny and Vlad turned intangible to get out, Danny taking Mario with him. The four went up a set of stairs to town.
"Halt!" said Crump, "They're gone! Johnson, did you see were they went?"
Everyone was confused.
"Crud, this is not good," said Crump.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Thanks for the help back there." said the goomba girl, "My name's Goombella, what's yours?"
"Danny," said Danny.
"Vlad," said Vlad.
Mario raised his hand and said, "Ah ha!" Which came out as 'Mario.'
"Wait, Mario? As in Mario Mario, the Mushroom Kingdom hero?" asked Goombella. Mario nodded his head.
"Wow! That's awesome!" said Goombella, "I'm sorry, but I don't know you other two. Er… Danny and Vlad, was it?"
"Yes, and we don't expect you to know us. We're from… out of town," said Danny.
"Great googly boogly!" shouted a Toad with a brown-spotted cap, a white mustache, a walking stick that matched his cap, and a blue and purple vest. "Master Mario, what an unexpected surprise!"
Mario walked up to Toadsworth. "Master Mario, get your brother! We have ghosts!" shouted Toadsworth. Danny and Vlad turned into their human forms. "Well, they just up and disappeared. I must have scared them off." said Toadsworth. Mario asked Toadsworth where Princess Peach was. "I was hoping you knew," said Toadsworth. Mario was shocked at this. "Oh, you know her, Master Mario, can't control her. I take my eye off her for one second and she's gone. She was talking about some sort of treasure and map, what could that mean. Oh well, if you find her, tell me. I'll be at the inn. It's a great place if you're feeling tired. Remember, just drop on INN!" said Toadsworth. He walked off huffing and puffing.
"What was that about a map?" asked Goombella. Mario held out a map to her. "Wow this is just what I've been looking for!" shouted Goombella. Mario put it back. "Wait, Princess PEACH gave you this map? The mushroom princess?" asked Goombella as she held out her book turned to a page showing a picture of a woman in a pink dress with blond hair. Mario nodded his head.
"What's so special about this map?" asked Danny.
"Well it's supposedly a magical map that leads to a great treasure," said Goombella.
"Treasure?" asked Vlad.
"Yeah, but I don't know enough about it." said Goombella, "Wait one of my old professors, Prof. Frankly, lives here. Maybe he'll know about it. Here's what he looks like." She held out a picture of a brown goomba with grey hair and swirl glasses. "Unfortunately, I don't know where he lives exactly. I know it's in this town, but that's all," said Goombella.
"I suggest we split up, Goombella and Mario, take the west side. Vlad and I will take the east side." said Danny.
"Great idea," said Goombella.
Danny and Vlad turned into their ghost forms and the group split up.
Danny and Vlad saw an old toad woman with a yellow-spotted cap, grey hair, a yellow dress, and a pink apron looking around.
"Don't come any closer!" she screamed, "I lost my contact and I don't want it broken! Don't move!"
As she look around Danny and Vlad walked backwards. Danny heard something crack under his foot.
"Ahh! I told you not to move!" screamed the old toad woman, "Just for that, I won't let anyone into the east side until you get me a new contact!"
Danny and Vlad tried to fly over her, but the east side had a ghost shield.
"Nice try!" said the old toad woman, "Don Pianta had a ghost shield installed to keep the Creepy Steeple boos out!"
Danny and Vlad then went to the shop.
"I need a contact lens," said Danny to the shop keeper.
"A contact lens? Sorry we're out, but we can order you one and it will be here in about a day or two." said the shop keeper.
"Ok." said Danny as he and Vlad left the store.
Outside they saw Goombella and a sad Mario.
"Hey guys," said Goombella. "I have good news and bad news. The bad news is: Mario had half his coins stolen. The good news is: we found Prof. Frankly's house."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey Professor!" shouted Goombella and she entered Frankly's house, not realizing she slammed the door on him. Mario, Danny, and Vlad all looked at each other. "Professor?" asked Goombella.
"Memind meh mor," said a muffled Frankly. Vlad closed the door, reviling Prof. Frankly.
"Whoever you are, you have a lot- oh if it isn't one of my old students. Uh, it was Goombina? Goombaria? Elizagoom? No, wait! It was Goombella, wasn't it?" said Frankly.
"Glad you remembered," said Goombella sarcastically.
"Not to toot my own horn, but I'm pretty good at remembering. But you, you stood out in my mind because you were such an exceptional student." said Frankly.
"That man in in red, isn't he. He's. He's!" said Frankly. Mario did a thumbs up. "Who?" asked Frankly. Mario fell to the ground.
"That's Mario, Professor," said Goombella.
"Well I'm not up to date in all your hip trends, but those other two, I clearly know them!" said Frankly.
"You do?" asked Danny.
"Of course," said Frankly, "I wouldn't for get my Aunt and Uncle, would I?"
Danny and Vlad fell to the ground with Mario and turned human.
"Heh, just kidding, I have no idea who you two are." said Frankly.
Mario, Danny, and Vlad got up.
"That's Danny," said Goombella, pointing her head at Danny. "And that's Vlad," she said, pointing her head at Vlad.
"Yes, anyway. What have you come here for?" asked Frankly.
"We're her for information about the Crystal Stars," said Danny. "And the Thousand-Year Door." added Goombella.
"Ah, yes." said Frankly as he got a book from his shelf. "The Crystal Stars and the Thousand-Year Door are very much related. The Crystal Stars are the keys to open the Thousand-Year Door. And the hero of legend shall wield the stars in front of the door. The stars were hidden by four ancient heroes. The only thing that can find the Crystal Stars is the Magical Map. One star shall lead to the next, all combined by the magical map. To find, the hero shall unfurl to the door. Of course, without that map we'll never find the stars."
"But, Professor, we do have the map. Or I should say Mario has the map," said Goombella.
"Great hoobily whatity? Show me that map," demanded Frankly. Mario gave the map to him. "Wow, it is real! That means… Quick, to the Thousand-Year Door!" said Frankly as he handed Mario the map.
"Uh, It's a little late, don't you think?" asked Danny.
"What? Oh well," said Frankly. "We shall quest tomorrow, until then, good night."
"See ya, Professor!" said Goombella as she left.
"Yes, after today sleep sounds good," said Vlad as he left.
"Are you coming, Mario?" asked Danny. Mario shook his head and pointed to the sewer pipe. "Well, good luck. It looks like it's blocked," said Danny.
" I bet you didn't know this old gate came off," said Frankly as he knocked the gate down for Mario. Mario walked over to the pipe, waved 'Bye' to Danny, then jumped down. Danny looked towards pipe before heading towards the inn.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the inn Goombella had paid five coins for a room for all of them.
"Ok guys, I have 12 coins left, that's enough for a Mushroom and a Tasty Tonic for two of us. I'm sorry, but someone won't eat," said Goombella.
"Oh if only Mario was here! I haven't had anything to eat all day!" shouted Vlad.
"Don't worry Vlad, I'll-" started Goombella.
"I'll be the one not eating tonight," said Danny, "I'll just head to the room."
"Really, well ok…" said Goombella. She was a little uncertain about this but went to the inn's restaurant anyway.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Danny was laying on his bed, thinking.
"How could this happen," he thought, "One minuet I'm happily watching Tucker play Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the next, I'm in it! What will Amity Park do with out me? Mom and Dad can't beat ghosts like Skulker, Ember, and Technus. And I'll probably be gone a while, they'll notice I'm missing. This is the worst thing that ever happened. And when I get back, they'll all be gone. Mom, Dad, Jazz, Tucker, Sam. Sam." Tears started to well up in Danny's eyes.
"Something wrong?" asked a voice.
Danny looked up and saw it was Wanda.
"You can you read my mind?" asked Danny.
Wanda nodded her head. "Danny calm down, none of that will happed. Your parents are excellent ghost hunters. Jazz, Tucker, and Sam can get by in hard times." assured Wanda.
Danny felt a little better. "How do you know so much about my world?" he asked.
"It will all be clear eventually. Bye." said Wanda as she left.
"Ah, that was a great dinner, better than back at college," said Goombella as she entered the room.
"Not the best, but it will do." said Vlad who was in ghost form.
"Vlad, you scared Zess Specials out of them," said Goombella as she took off her helmet.
Vlad went into human form and said, "Well I wasn't about to have a Mushroom dinner."
Goombella smiled and then noticed Danny. "Hey Danny," she said, "Feeling better?"
Danny nodded his head.
"Well that's good." said Goombella, "I'm going to take a shower now." She then went into the bathroom.
Danny looked around the room. He saw Vlad sleeping, the bathroom door, and finally, a computer. Danny got an idea when he saw the computer. "Maybe," he said to himself.
He went to the computer and typed a message to Tucker's PDA. When he pressed 'SEND' and a message came up that said 'Nonexistent Mailbox SP user.'
Danny went back to his bed. "Worth a shot," he thought to himself. He then fell asleep.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning Goombella, Danny, and Vlad got a rude awakening. Mario broke down their door with his hammer just to show them that he had one hundred and twelve coins. He had to pay twelve coins though for the door.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The group was eating breakfast in the restaurant. It took Goombella and Mario to keep Vlad from scaring them up something better than Mystic Eggs.
"Are we all ready to find the Thousand-Year Door?" asked Goombella. Danny said, "You bet I am." Vlad said, "Indeed." Mario just nodded his head.
Everyone finished their breakfasts and headed towards Frankly's house.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prof. Frankly was waiting out side his house. When he saw them he asked, "Finally, are you all ready now?"
"Yes we are Professor," said Goombella.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After a short walk the group came to a Goomba Gang.
"There's the jerk," said the goomba.
"What's the problem?" asked Danny.
"Mr. Mustache is the problem," said the paragoomba.
"Why?" asked Danny.
"He was down here last night, stomping goombas for coins," said the spiky goomba.
Everyone glared at Mario as he laughed nervously.
"Ok, guys! He's here!" shouted the Goomba Gang. Thousands of goombas attacked Mario, Vlad, Goombella, and Prof. Frankly. In a matter of minuets they were all down for the count. The Goomba Gang then advanced on Danny.
"Oh no you don't!" shouted Danny, "I'm going ghost!" He then turned into his ghost form.
--BATTLE--
The Goomba Gang raced towards Danny. Before they could hit him Danny flew up.
The paragoomba then flew fast at Danny. Danny fired a ghost beam at his wings, making the paragoomba fall to the ground. Danny finished paragoomba off with a ghost beam.
"Being the Mushroom Kingdom's equivalent of the Box Ghost is hard, huh?" asked Danny.
Spiky goomba then attacked Danny using a spinning jump. This made Danny fall and receive a large tear across the chest of his suit.
"I guess if you get hit by something spiky you lose the ability to fly," Danny thought to himself.
Spiky goomba then launched itself at Danny, but Danny fired a ghost beam before he got hit. Now it was down to him and goomba.
Goomba started by jumping towards Danny.
"I do not have time for this," said Danny as he finished goomba off with a ghost beam.
--Danny Phantom Won--
Everyone regained consciousness.
"What happened?" asked Goombella.
"You were attacked by goombas. Don't worry, I got rid of them," said Danny.
"Now that we're done laying around can we go to the door?" asked Frankly.
They went through the sewers, fighting enemies and getting a mushroom and fire flower, before coming to a dead end.
"Great, now what?" asked Danny.
"I suggest we split up, try to find a way out," said Goombella.
After the group split up, Goombella saw a small creature.
"Hi, do you know-" said Goombella before the creature ran away.
"Well that was rude!" said Goombella.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vlad was standing by a large yellow block.
"Darn it, I could get to that doorway if the energy in this room didn't cancel out my ghost powers," said Vlad.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Danny was looking up at a black key on a high ledge.
"I wish I knew how to get that," said Danny, "It looks important."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mario walked down a small alley before coming to a blue ! box switch. He hit it with his hammer. This caused a stair way to appear.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soon everyone was on a higher area.
"Great job, Mario. Lead us up a staircase to nowhere." said Vlad, who was looking towards the yellow block.
"Come on, Vlad, look at that doorway. Mario didn't lead us no where," said Goombella.
"Hey, where's Danny?' asked Frankly.
"I'm right here," said Danny as he came back up the stairs with a black key.
"Ok guys, lets go to that door way," said Goombella.
"By the way, why does goomba girl get to lead?" asked Vlad.
"Jeez, Vlad, you certainly are grouchy!" said Goombella.
"Let's see I woke up to a maniac busting down our door, I had a horrible breakfast, I was beaten by goombas," said Vlad, emphasizing goombas to upset Goombella, "And now I can't use my powers. Oh I have no reason to be grouchy at all!"
Vlad then stormed off to the next room.
"Fine, leave! It's not like we care!" shouted Goombella.
"Goombella, calm down. Vlad's just used to a better life than this," said Danny.
"Really? Well who cares!" screamed Goombella.
"Well don't take it out on me!" shouted Danny.
Mario slammed his hammer down. He then told Danny and Goombella to stop arguing and apologize.
"Um, I'm sorry Danny. I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you," said Goombella.
"Yeah, me too," said Danny.
"Wow, Mario. You got then to stop bickering like children. You're amazing," said Frankly.
Mario gave a thumbs up before going to then next room. The rest of the team shortly followed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"That is a sad story. Don't worry, Daniel had a black key, I'll go find him," said Vlad to a black chest.
Vlad nearly ran into Danny on his way out.
"Uh, Vlad, why are you talking to a chest?" asked Danny.
"There's a person inside who needs to get out. Your black key is what he needs," said Vlad.
"Yeah," said the black chest, "It would be nice to be out."
"I don't know if we can trust this chest," said Frankly.
"Well, if it calmed down Vlad, it must be good," said Danny as he opened the chest.
"FOOLS!" screamed the chest. A bright light appeared and when it dimmed down everyone saw that they were floating in a purple-with-black-dots area.
A crazy yellow face appeared in front of them.
"Oh man, did you fall for it. You guys are such idiots. In fact you're so stupid that you're about to be cursed!" shouted the face.
A bolt of lightning hit everyone, but no one was hurt.
"You are now cursed under the Convenient Ancient Curse of Pharaoh Paperairplaneiza!" shouted the face.
"Though it is rude to curse you with no explanation, so I shall provide one," said the face as a platform with a paper airplane mark on it appeared. "Whenever you see this platform, stepping on it will turn you into a paper airplane. Do this now."
Everyone stepped on the platform and was transformed into a paper airplane.
"Now you must navigate yourself as airplanes forever!" shouted the face.
"Wait! Change us back!" shouted Danny.
"Well, you can change back if you concentrate or something," said the face.
Everyone changed back. Then the face disappeared and everyone saw the small room around them.
"Well, that was quite convenient. We can now use that platform outside," said Goombella.
Everyone crossed to the high ledge and entered the doorway on it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The Thousand-Year Door! It's real! Mario hurry, unfurl the map like the legend says to!" said Frankly in excitement.
Mario jumped up on a platform in front of the door and held up the map. The ground around the platform then started to glow.
"What's with the light show?" asked Danny.
The map started to glow and when it had dimmed it showed a castle and a diamond star right of Rougeport.
"Well, what the that mean?" asked Vlad.
"We better go the my house and study this.
They agreed and headed towards Frankly's house.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone was relaxing at Frankly's house. Then the professor said, "I got it! It's pointing towards Petalburg. That's just west of Rougeport. You can get there by the sewers. Just look for a brick warp pipe."
"Thanks professor. Everyone are you ready? Let's start the adventure!" said Goombella.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It wasn't long before they reached a dead end.
"Well I see the pipe, but it's across this monster infested lake," said Vlad.
"Well Vlad, we can fly, but Mario and Goombella can't," said Danny.
Vlad then flew to the small island with the pipe. "I'll wait here!" shouted Vlad.
This made Danny incredibly angry. "Vlad! Get. Back! HERE!" screamed Danny. This, unfortunately, accidentally triggered Danny's ghostly wail. The force made a passing blooper hit the other side of the room and make Danny turn back to human.
"Hey!" shouted the blooper, "I don't impact you against walls, do I?"
"Now you've done it," said Goombella.
--BATTLE--
"Can't a blooper go through Rougeport Sewers and NOT be hurt?" asked blooper.
Danny turned into a ghost. "How's fried calamari sound to you guys?" asked Danny as he fired two ghost beams at blooper. The beams just bounced off.
"That's not any regular blooper, Danny. That's Gooper Blooper! Mario, you've faced him before. All we have to do is disable his tentacles to hurt him," said Goombella.
Mario hit Gooper Bloopers lower tentacle with his hammer.
Vlad hit Gooper Bloopers lower tentacle with a ghost beam, disabling it.
Gooper Blooper hit Danny with his upper tentacle, knocking him into the water.
"Danny!" shouted Goombella, "Guys, Gooper Blooper is trying to drown us!"
Underwater, Danny thought, "No water means no Gooper." He tried to evaporate the water, but it didn't work. He then flew out of the water.
By now Vlad and Mario had incapacitated Gooper Blooper.
"A little help Daniel," said Vlad.
Danny joined Goombella and Vlad in beating up Gooper Blooper.
"Where's Mario?" asked Danny.
"We don't know," said Goombella.
Mario was over at Gooper Blooper's mouth. He pulled on it until it snapped back. This caused Gooper Blooper to get back up and hit Mario with ink.
"Mario, why'd you do that? We had him on the ropes," said Goombella.
"Goombella, I think Mario wanted to fling Gooper away. If we all pull on it, we may be strong enough to throw Gooper back," said Danny. Mario nodded his head.
"Oh," said Goombella.
"Not to worry you or anything, but Gooper Bloopers tentacles are back and better than ever," said Vlad.
Gooper Blooper tried to knock them into the water, but they dodged/ turned intangible.
Mario and Vlad took care of Gooper Bloopers lower tentacle and Danny and Goombella took out the upper one.
They then all grabbed Gooper Bloopers mouth and pulled it back until it snapped back and flung Gooper Blooper into the water.
"Beaten, and by that plumber and his friends again no less," said Gooper Blooper as he swam away.
--Team Mario Won--
The force of Gooper Blooper hitting the water caused some platforms to be dislodged from the bottom of the lake, forming a path Goombella and Mario could use to jump over to the pipe.
"I guess that's your path guys," said Danny as he and Vlad flew to the pipe. Mario and Goombella followed. They then all went down the pipe.
