Mario and Co had just climbed into the Toy Box, and they seemed to have been shrunk down, as the toys inside were MASSIVE. A basic tower of stacking blocks dwarfed all the members of the party by comparison, even Sam Hammer, who was the tallest.
"Come on. We've-a gotta find-a that Star Spirit." Mario said to the party, and so they walked through forests of stacking blocks, irregular walls of teddy bears and lines of clockwork soldiers. A very faint scream sounded from a pile of teddy bears, so the party went to investigate. The party put their backs into shifting the teddy bears, and out came a little ball of electricity.
"Hm hm hee hee hee! Thank you for helping me out there. I'd been trapped there for an hour." it said. Black stepped in front of it.
"Who are you, and what are you doing here?" he snarled. The little ball of electricity looked at him with beady eyes and replied,
"I am Watt, the daughter of Lil' Sparky. I was trapped in here by those horrid Shy Guys. Listen, I know why things are a little odd outside the Toy Box." Mario was very interested, so he asked Watt to tell the party. She replied,
"OK, so Bowser gave a card-thingy to a Shy Guy, and he's taken it to General Guy for safe keeping. I was going to see what that card was, but the Shy Guy noticed me, and so he emptied a whole pile of teddy bears on me! I kept screaming for help, but no-one came for an hour." Sam added that he had seen what that card was, but he wasn't going to tell Watt, in case she was working for Bowser. Watt replied that she hated Bowser more than that Shy Guy who dropped the teddy bears on her.
"I'm-a thinking of-a letting her join-a the party. What-a do you-a say?" Mario asked the party. Kooper, Sam, Spiky Joe, Parakarry, Black and Lady Bow all said yes, so now Watt was with Mario and Co..
"Watt, since you're with us now, I'll tell you what I'm thinkin' that card is. It's what we're lookin' for - one of the Star Spirits." Sam said to Watt.
"Ahh, they come for my precious treasure." said a nearby voice. It sounded posh and upper-class. Watt got a bit nervous, and then she told the rest of the party that that was the voice of General Guy. Did that mean the party were close to retrieving another Star Spirit?
Not on your nellie.
General Guy sounded so close, but so far. They couldn't get to General Guy through a nearby door they saw, as it was just a huge sticker.
"That's gotta be one of the cheapest tactics I have ever seen." Sam muttered to himself as he ran his hand over the sticker. Lady Bow thought for a second, and then she said,
"I wonder if I could use my invisibility to make us all able to pass through that wall?" Kooper said it was worth a try, and so Lady Bow made the whole party invisible, and they tried to pass through the wall... but they couldn't.
"Good try anyway, Lady Bow." Spiky Joe said reassuringly. Lady Bow smiled.
"OK, let's-a go this way." Mario shouted to the party, pointing down an irregularly-shaped corridor made out of stacking blocks and teddy bears.
