Apparently, they said the Yoshi's ran away because of the Snooza Koopas, making me think they're predators to Yoshis. I made Melon Yoshi's cousin in order for them to have some sort of connection. Melon will show up in future chapters that require Yoshi.
After successfully saving the sunflowers from wilting away, Aqua went back to riding the Yoshi-Go-Round, though the missing Orange Yoshi still bothers Luigi.
Mario: Where to look next…
Luigi: Maybe it has something to do with the missing Yoshi?
Mario: Maybe… but I'm not sure about that bro. If anything, I think- MAMMA FLIPPIN' MIA!
Luigi: What's wrong bro- YAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
Aqua: OH… MY… GOODNESS!
The reason they freaked out was because of the Ferris Wheel. What was wrong with it? Oh nothing, except that it was moving at a VERY ABNORMAL SPEED! Way faster than any normal Ferris Wheel.
Luigi: Wh-Wh-WHY IS IT MOVING SO FAST?!
Mario: I-I don't know Luigi.
Aqua: That looks scary!
Mario: That's more than scary, Aqua. That's dangerous! Someone could get seriously hurt! Something must've malfunctioned that Ferris Wheel.
Luigi: I think it was an electro koopa.
Mario: What makes you say that, bro?
Luigi: Well, remember what happened on the pirate ships? Just before they started going extremely fast, I saw an electro koopa take control of the control panel. The overdose of electricity must've caused the ride to go at insanely fast speeds, and resulted in massive damage. The same thing could happen to the Ferris Wheel if we don't do something!
Mario: In that case, I'm going.
Luigi: Just you?
Aqua: What about us?
Mario: I don't want you two getting seriously hurt on that ride! Especially after what happened to Aqua with the Pirate Ships. Plus Luigi, you were concerned about the missing Yoshi, so try doing something about that.
Luigi: Okay.
Mario walked behind the Ferris wheel where just as he predicted, a whole group of red electro koopas were climbing all over the gates.
Noki: Those electro koopas are up to no good!
Mario: Are they behind the Ferris Wheel going haywire?
The Noki nodded in response.
Noki: Could you flush them out from back there? Thanks!
Mario: No problem!
Mario started climbing up the gates. He used FLUDD to flip a few gates he needed to walk on before reaching the climbable gates occupied by red electro koopas. They were bigger and less aggressive than their blue variants, but their massive size was indeed a hindrance to Mario. To defeat them, the Mushroom Kingdom superstar had to use his superhuman strength to pound the koopa from the opposite side of the fence, just as he did to climbing koopas back in Dinosaur Land. This sent the enemy flying while screaming.
Mario: Wow! That was even more satisfying than it was back then.
Mario continued to make his way up the grates and flush out each of the electro koopas. On his way he thought of the Ferris Wheel going so fast that it broke off and destroyed the park. Mario shuddered at such a horrible thought and it motivated him to move faster. He reached a tightrope which took him to a grate with a sleeping green electro koopa sleeping on top of it.
Mario: Well, Luigi was right. Hey! Do this park a favor and find a better spot to sleep!
Mario flipped the gate and sent the green electro koopa falling down into the ocean, screaming as it did so. A Shine Sprite appeared in the place where it splashed and flew to the top of the Ferris Wheel. At the same time, the Ferris Wheel slowed down back to it's normal speed.
Mario: A job well done!
The rest was a piece of cake. Mario hitched a ride on the Ferris Wheel to reach the top and claim his prize.
SHINE!
Mario: YIPEE!
Meanwhile at the Yoshi-Go-Round
While Mario was fixing the Ferris Wheel, Luigi was talking to the Park Director.
Luigi: Um, excuse me sir? Are you the director of this establishment?
Park Director: Why yes, indeed! How may I help you?
Luigi: Well, I noticed there's not enough Yoshis on the Yoshi-Go-Round.
Park Director: What do you…? Oh yeah! The orange one broke! I forgot about that! We lacked the funds to fix it, so we just took it off…
Luigi: Oh, okay. I'm just saying because it's been bothering me for awhile. Thanks!
Luigi went back to Aqua and helped her off the ride.
Aqua: Did you find out about that missing Yoshi?
Luigi: The Director said they didn't have the money to fix it, so they just took it off.
Aqua: Really?
Luigi: Yup!
Aqua thought about it for a moment before a lightbulb appeared over her head.
Aqua: Hey! Why don't we try to fix it?
Luigi: Us?! Aqua, fixing a ride can cost millions of dollars. There's no WAY we could afford that!
Aqua: Who needs money? We've got something even better!
She whispered in the green plumber's ears and he caught on with the idea.
Luigi: Oh! I see where this is going! You're a smart kid, I'll give you that.
Aqua: Then let's get to it!
They walked to the back to the park behind a Pianta-shaped tree to find a shaking Yoshi egg.
Aqua: A Yoshi egg! A real one! Amazing!
Luigi: It seems to be acting weird.
Egg: ...Pear...Pear.
Aqua: I think it's hungry.
Luigi: Where are we gonna find a pear?
Just above their heads, a pair was dangling from the "nose" of the Pianta tree. Aqua couldn't help but snicker a little.
Aqua: It looks like a runny nose!
Luigi: Seriously? Is this what the people of this island find funny?
Aqua: Oh come on! Don't be a party pooper! This is funny and you know it!
Luigi: Okay, I guess it's a little funny…
Luigi grabs the pear and gives it to the egg. It hatched into Marlin who was now orange thanks to the pear.
Melon: Mmm, Mmm! Thanks for the pear guys! That was delicious.
Luigi: Hi Melon! We need your help with something.
Aqua: Can I ride you?
Melon: Sure thing! Hop on!
Aqua jumped on to Melon and got really excited.
Luigi: Follow me!
Luigi led Melon over to the Yoshi-Go-Round.
Melon: So, this is how the people of this island pay tribute to us? Looks really nice.
Luigi: Alright, so see that empty bar. I want you to stand right under it.
Melon tried to get a good position.
Melon: Like this?
Luigi: A little to the left… aaaaaaaaand perfect!
The moment she got the perfect position, Luigi and Aqua vanished.
Melon: Huh? Where'd you go?
Park Director: He he! Finally a replacement!
Melon: Oh boy…
?
The two heroes appeared in the endless white void once again.
Luigi: Not this again!
Aqua: In 3, 2, 1…
Shadow Mario swiped the hover and rocket nozzles, mockingly waved, and disappeared.
Luigi: NOOOOOOOOO!
This secret course had a background resembling sunflowers under a sunny sky. The course itself looked a lot harder than past secret courses. It consisted of rotating blocks at the beginning which were only the easy part for the two. Next were dozens of moving blocks with a Yoshi-like pattern.
Luigi: Oh boy… How are we going to do this without our nozzles? If you had your hover nozzle, we could just glide over the gaps no problem. Now, if we make one mistake, GAME OVER!
Aqua: But Luigi, you went through a haunted house. Why are you still scared?
Luigi: As scary as that mansion was, at least it didn't have bottomless gaps.
Aqua: Okay, but still! I used to be scared of everything like you, but Mario taught me to be brave and… what's the word?
Luigi: Independent?
Aqua: Yeah, that! But anyways, why haven't you gotten over your fears?
Luigi: I don't know! I was born like this, okay?! And I don't know why?! It's just that I would always be the one getting scared, and Mario would somehow be able to stand scary things! It's not fair! Why can't I be as brave as my bro?! It's even more embarrassing that a CHILD has gotten more brave than me!
Aqua: Luigi! Pull yourself together! Mario wouldn't wanna see you like this! I get that you're scared. I understand the feeling. Just… follow my lead.
Luigi: O-okay…
The duo jumped from block to block and tried their best not to miscalculate any jumps. At the end of the section was an orange block that took the heroes to their final destination where they did a couple of wall jumps before claiming yet another Shine Sprite.
SHINE!
Luigi and Aqua: AW YEAH!
