In this first room of Tubba Blubba's Castle, the door on the right was locked. The door on the left was opened partly. The room was guarded by four Sentinels that looked like UFOs. They already saw the intruders, preparing to take them away.

"The flying discs have come to eradicate us!" Rolf exclaimed.

"Do something, Hero!" Eddy said to Ed, throwing him to them. Ed got up and saw a ray of beam above him. His bottom half of his green jacket started to move up, but Ed remained in his spot.

"Cool!" Ed said. "Hey, guys! This is just the movie where I'll be prepared to be dissected by the aliens from beyond!"

Bow growled and gritted. "If you're dissected, you'll disappear, and I'll never forgive you!"

"If you die, I'll tell Mom!" Sarah barked.

The Sentinel began to sweat, increasing its lifting beam to pick up the heavy boy. As for Ed, it took ten seconds for him to realize what Bow said.

"Ahh! I don't wanna die! I have a happy place! Happy place! Happy place!" He ran around the room, along with the Sentinel. However, the Sentinel fixed on Ed's position ended up colliding with another Sentinel.

Everyone else just stared at this scene with wide eyes, especially Bow.

"I...guess that works."

"I'm not even gonna question it."

"Come on, everyone!" Mario said as the team went to the door on their left. Soon, all the Sentinels fell to the ground and remained on the ground.

"Come on, Ed!" Kooper said as Ed followed behind shorty. It was a long, giant hallway. A green, burly creature called Clubba was sleeping near the door. He was carrying a black spiked mace.

"I've got this one," Bombette whispered, sparking up her fuse. Before the Clubba realized it, she exploded him away. They went inside the room and saw a giant table with a purple shoe badge.

"Hey, let me have that!" Nazz said as Parakarry flew up, retrieved it, and handed it to her as Goombario looked it up in his Badge Book.

"It's a D-Down Jump Badge. It's like Mario's D-Down Pound, except this is for jumping." Everyone decided to give the badge to Nazz. The gang walked down the hallway and engaged more Clubbas to battle.

"Ed!" Bow said. "I order you to get rid of them!"

"Yeah, do as the lady says!" Sarah shouted in agreement.

"Your wish is my command!" Ed replied, charging forward. The first Clubba did a vertical strike with his spiked mace, but Ed deflected the blow with his shield. Ed then took out an arrow with a tiny mushroom with a blue head a white spots and fired it at the Clubba, shrinking it as Bow snagged it.

"This is what I'm going to do to Tubba!" She threw the miniature Clubba to the wall. Meanwhile, Kooper's shell struck all the Clubbas away while Goombario charged up his strength and finished off the last Clubba. There was a door on their right, and they obtained a Star Piece after finishing off another Clubba. More Clubbas were patrolling in this room with a giant table. Double-D activated his Stop Watch and threw it to the center of the room. A chime echoed throughout the room as every Clubba froze in time. It was a pretty easy battle for them.

"Was that a JoJo reference we just did?" Kevin asked as Rolf shrugged.

The team stepped down the stairs to the sub-level first floor. Although it was a dead-end, Mario destroyed the wooden panel with his Spin Jump. The room itself was dark because their only light source was the hole Mario made. Double-D, Jimmy, and Parakarry took out their flashlights and examined the room. There were cobwebs on the corners, but no spiders, much to Double-D's disappointment and Jimmy's relief. Mario opened up a chest and took out a castle key. Double-D's flashlight shined around until he spotted a peasant Boo.

"No! No!" it said in fear. "Don't eat me!"

"Relax!" Bow said, calming him. "We're not Tubba Bluuba."

The Boo opened up his eyes and saw Bow. "L-Lady Bow? And Mario? Oh, thank goodness, it's you two! I came here to find his weak point."

"Did you find anything? Anything at all?"

"There is one. On the highest floor where he sleeps, there's an important item in his room. If you use that key, I'm sure you'll find his room eventually."

"Thanks for the info."

"But remember, Lady Bow, Tubba Blubba is invincible. If you all encounter him, I repeat, do not fight him until you find his weakness. It doesn't matter if you have a powerful team. You'll never even scratch him." After receiving all the necessary information, the team went out the door and climbed up the stairs, finding another Sentinel. With only one Sentinel, the same trick Ed did earlier would not work.

Everyone started to stare at Bow, which she scoffed. "If you think I can make all of you transparent, you're dead wrong!" she said. "It takes a lot of energy for the whole team. One person is my limit."

Eddy's eyes perked up. "I've got an idea!" He spoke to everyone about the plan. Once the meeting was done, Ed marched forward out of the opening. The Sentinel lowered itself down and prepared to take Ed. "Now everyone!"

Mario, Goombario, Kooper, Parakarry, Kevin, Rolf, and Johnny jumped to the Sentinel and beat it senseless until it fell down the ground. When they got off, Bombette finished it off with an explosion to make it permanent. Everyone climbed up the stairs and backtracked to the first room. Mario unlocked the door, and they resumed on. More Clubbas blocked their path again.

Eddy let out a whining sound. "How many of 'em are there in this stupid castle?"

"Suck it up, Dorky! I find this therapeutic!" Kevin chuckled as he lunged forward and began beating the beasts with his wrench until they were left in a bloody, bruised heap.

"You are seriously twisted, Kevin..." Double-D sighed as the Jock smirked, taking it as a compliment.

"Thanks."

Everyone climbed up to the second floor and walked through the bridge in the first room. In this hallway, a Clubba was sleeping next to the wall. Bombette wanted to attack, but Bow interfered.

"I'll handle this one," Bow said as Bombette allowed her. Bow floated to the Clubba without making a sound and slapped him eight times until he was out cold.

"Damn girl!" Sarah exclaimed in an impressed tone as Jimmy couldn't help but wince in sympathy for the poor Clubba.

"Now I'm afraid to get slapped by her," Eddy whispered to Bombette, which she laughed nervously. Along the way, a Sentinel saw them and managed to pick up Nazz. She struggled but remembered her Zap Tap Badge. She tapped it and waited to make contact. When the Sentinel finally touched her, it was zapped with electricity. Once Nazz was free from its grip, she tapped her badge again. Parakarry flew in and grabbed her.

'"Thanks, Parakarry."

"No problem.

On the door to their right was a room filled with spikes on the floor. A chest was located at the far corner. Parakarry flew across and obtained a castle key.

"This is easy with Parakarry around," Goombario said.

"Or you could've used me, instead," Bow added. "I can fly, you know since I'm a Boo."

"Ghost," Ed said, which caused Bow and Sarah to sigh. After entering through another room, they were standing on the second floor where they saw a giant table. A Clubba was sleeping in front of a locked door.

"These Clubbas are doing a poor job of guarding," Merlow said. Mario, Eddy, Kevin, Rolf, Johnny, and Sarah took out their weapons and struck down the sleepy Clubba. Meanwhile, they noticed a grandfather clock that looked highly suspicious. Mario pushed the grandfather clock and discovered a secret room. There was a bed and two drawers by Tubba's scale of course.

"I wonder who lives here besides Tubba?" Kooper asked.

"Maybe it's his mom," Bombette said.

"Or maybe his father!" Ed said. No one did not want to say anything as they thought a chilling thought.

"Maybe...we shouldn't look deep into this," Mario said. Everyone collected coins and a Mega Rush Badge. Goombario explained the badge can increase the person's strength times four when he is in peril. Ed took the badge for himself. Everyone went out of the room and unlocked the door. A staircase finally led them to the highest floor. When they opened the door halfway, they suddenly stopped to see Tubba Blubba at the far end of the hallway.

"Mmm?" Tubba said, sniffing around. "What's this? I smell something...fishy." He started to walk toward them slowly.

"Not a-good!" Mario whispered to everyone. "He's a-coming here!"

"There's nowhere to hide!" Goombario whispered.

"And I can't make you all invisible," Bow whispered. Tubba was coming closer with every thundering step.

"Rolf shall distract him!"

"Y-you're not serious, are you, Stretch?!" Eddy asked in a panic.

"Don't do it, Rolf!" Ed and Jimmy cried.

"Dude! He's invincible! We still haven't found his weak point!" Kevin said, trying to talk his best friend out of it.

"And all of you are going to find it without Rolf," The Son of a Shepard said, clasping Ed, Kevin, Johnny, and Jimmy's shoulder.

"Let all of you take solace that Rolf considers you his dearest friends and that you must take care of Rolf's family." Ed, Jimmy, and Johnny wailed in tears while hugging Rolf, ignoring the fact Tubba was halfway to their position. Kevin was on the verge of tears, but he would never show them. The others were also looking heartbroken.

"You're not doing this alone," Merlow said as Rolf looked at him. "I'll stand by your side until the very end. That's what partners are for."

"Thank you, Merlow." With Tubba one-quarter away closer, The team applied their Repel Gels. Bow grabbed Sarah's shoulders, ready to turn her invisible. Rolf and Merlow stood in front of the almost closed door.

"IN HONOR OF MY ANCESTORS! SAPLAKA!" With Rolf's battle cry as the trigger, everyone who turned invisible ran through the hallway as fast as they could. Tubba only saw Rolf and Merlow left.

"Wha-?" Tubba asked. "You're not Boos! You're intruding my castle!"

The rest of the team finally made it to the other side as their invisibility faded away. However, the door had a lock attached so they took the door on their left and saw six Clubbas sleeping in the room. A key was at the other side of the room. Bow floated forward and got the key. Suddenly, a shocking force made every Clubba wake up.

"I'll save you!" Ed said as he clasped his hands. "Lullaby!"

Mamar appeared above Ed; she sang her lullaby to all the Clubbas. causing all of them to go back to sleep. After exiting the room, they could hear Rolf's fight from the other side. Bow unlocked the door, and everyone made a run for it. They healed themselves with the Heart Block as well. The team ran through a bridge and finally entered Tubba's bedroom.

"We're a-here!" Mario gasped, panting.

"We can't waste time!" Kooper said. "We've got to find it before Tubba Blubba comes."

Everyone went to the other side of the room and saw a treasure chest. Before they could open it, the sound of a door unlocking was heard.

"Everyone! Hide!" Bow whispered as they hid behind the bed.

Tubba Blubba came in. "I might be in trouble," he said. "The Star Spirit ran away, and I just fought against a Wizard and a kid with a sock who talked funny. I'm sure I don't want to see Lord Bowser. After all, he did make me invincible...but he can turn me back to normal! And I don't even want to begin talking about that creepy Velhallen Beo guy!"

He walked toward his bed. "Time for some beauty sleep." He burped something out of his mouth and went to sleep. The object landed on Ed's head, who took the object on his head and everyone around gasped silently.

It was Rolf's staff.
