Oh believe me, she's about to have a bigger test than that.

Heh heh! Death stare, am I right? Sorry that the Chain Chomp chased you. It should be calm now.

Yeah, at least it's calm now.
Nataly Guardado
Luigi: Sorry Nataly, but only I can do the death stare. I don't know why, I just… can. It's just one of those things that can't be explained. Like me! Plus, no offense, but since you're blind, you may miss your target and just look awkward.
Mario: If you're dealing with a bully, tell a trusted adult like parents, teachers, counselors. They're there for you! Also, smart steering and auto accelerate are not cheating. They were created as an easy mode for inexperienced players. And since you're blind, it makes perfect sense to use it. So go ahead! If you have more questions for us like these. Ask us in our Ask Mario: Season 2.
Luigi: Just keep it to one question at a time.
Corona Mountain
It was 11:00am. Peach was still locked up. She changed into her bathing suit since she was tired of wearing her dress, and that was the only other outfit she had. Bowser Jr came up to her.
Bowser Jr.: Good morning, Mama!
Peach just sighed. She really didn't want to talk to this annoying little brat who thought she was his mother. She wanted to be with her friends and family again.
Peach: Good morning, Junior…
Bowser Jr.: Why are you sad, Mama?
Peach: It's because I miss my friends and family.
Bowser Jr.: But Mama, we ARE your family! Don't tell me you're STILL under Mario's spell.
Peach didn't even wanna respond, so she just crossed her arms and looked away.
Bowser Jr.: Well hey, I know what'll cheer you up. Papa's got a surprise for you!
Peach: Bowser has a surprise for me? If it's a wedding proposal, or a "romantic" date, tell him I'll pass.
Bowser Jr.: Sorry Mama, but Papa said he wouldn't take "no" for an answer. Besides, I think you'll love it!
Peach: Well, what is this surprise he's got for me?
Bowser Jr.: I can't tell you, Mama. It's not ready yet.
Peach: Not even a hint?
Bowser Jr.: Do you wanna ruin the surprise? Just wait a bit longer Mama. I promise you, you'll feel right at home once it's ready! See you later!
Peach sighed once Junior walked away and started recording another message.
Pianta Village
Meanwhile, the Chain Chomp that took a soothing bath in the hot spring left. Leaving it open again. Mario and Luigi had their bathing suits on and sat in the hot spring to take a short break.
Mario: Ahh! This is the life!
Luigi: Totally. I feel in complete bliss.
Mario: Come on in, girls! The water's fine!
Daisy: I'd like to, but I left my bathing suit at the plaza, and I'm not going back there just to get it. So, I'll just take a walk.
Luigi: Suit yourself.
Daisy left to take a walk around the village. Aqua tried to dip her toes in the hot spring, only to immediately come out the moment she felt it.
Aqua: AAAAHH!HOTHOTHOT! On second thought… I'll go with her.
She catched up with Daisy, but was already bored of this place.
Aqua: So… why is the river all dried up?
Daisy: Well, during the daytime, they pump and heat up the water from the river to use in the hot spring, so the river is only running at night.
Aqua: Well that's a shame. This place is so boring. There's nothing to do here.
Daisy: Hey, don't say that. There's plenty of fun things to do here!
Aqua: Like what?
Daisy: Umm… we could climb up those giant trees.
Aqua: No thanks. Heights scare me.
Daisy: We went on tightropes back in Noki Bay! Now did that not scare you?
Aqua: At least there was water at the bottom to catch me.
Daisy: Okay…
Daisy looked around for something and saw a tree with many different fruits in it. She grabbed a coconut and threw it at Aqua like a baseball.
Daisy: CATCH!
Aqua wasn't prepared for that and ducked her head to dodge it.
Aqua: Woah! Slow down! You almost hit me!
Daisy: Sorry.
The coconut rolled right into a nearby egg, which hatched into Melon.
Melon: Mmm! Mmm! Coconuts! My third favorite behind pineapples and watermelons!
Aqua: Melon!
Melon: Aqua! What's up? And where are we?
Aqua: Nothing much. We're in Pianta Village, the most boring place on the island.
Daisy: At least in her opinion.
Melon: Oh, hi Daisy! Nice to see you again! Where are Mario and Luigi?
Daisy: They're in the hot spring in the back of the village. I would've joined them, but I left my bathing suit in Delfino Plaza.
Aqua: And the water was just too hot for me. I don't know how the Mario bros. Can handle it.
Daisy: Maybe you're just not used to it.
Melon: That must be a shame. At least you two can even go into deep water. Hey, while we're waiting, you wanna hitch a ride on me? Maybe we'll find a Shine Sprite.
Daisy: Alright. We can do that. Aqua, you mind if I ride her this time? I haven't gotten the chance yet.
Aqua: Fine.
Daisy hopped onto Melon and she took them across the bridge and went to the left of the starting point. There, they stared down a cliff, where they saw several giant mushrooms growing underneath the village. They looked like they were safe to platform on.
Melon: I was thinking we'd check down there upon those mushrooms. You didn't go down there yet, did you?
Daisy: Well, sort of, but it was just for a shortcut. Let's do it.
Aqua looked down and was immediately petrified by the seemingly bottomless abyss.
Aqua: Um… I-I-I-I'll pass.
She dashed across the bridge and back into the village.
Daisy: Suit yourself.
Melon: Well, you can't blame someone for fearing heights. Luckily, I don't have a problem with them.
Daisy: Me too. If I make a mistake, I can just correct myself with a double jump. So I'm fine with it, too. Let's do this!
They both jump down.
Daisy and Melon: JURONIMOOOOOOOOOOOO!
They landed safely on thefirst mushroom. Melon carefully platformed across the mushrooms as the wind blew Daisy's hair behind her. Soon, their journey came gto an end when they reached a platform that had this strange looking yellow barrier that was jiggling up and down.
Daisy: What the heck is that thing?!
Melon: Nothing my juice can't fix.
Melon regurgitated juice out of her mouth which disintegrated the barrier, leaving behind a hole.
Melon: Well, my job here is done!
Daisy: Wait! Aren't you gonna go in there with me?
Melon stared down into the hole. She didn't see anything, but it gave her a feeling of dread.
Melon: Err… you're on your own. I'm out!
She dashed off.
Daisy: (Coward…)
Daisy jumped into the hole all by herself, not knowing what awaited her.
?
Just as many times before, she ended up in a white void of nothingness. Before long, a green blur sweeped past her and stole her Turbo Nozzle. The person revealed herself as Shadow Daisy, blew a raspberry at Daisy, then disappeared. Daisy was a little ticked off at this but knew she had to move on.
?
This secret level looked normal at first. It had a simple night background with clouds and green wooden blocks were platforms. But what piqued Daisy's curiosity was the fact that there were a bunch of Piantas down here.
Daisy: Why are there people down here?
Daisy walked up to the first Pianta who was green and wearing a blue hat.
Daisy: Um… excuse me sir? What are you guys doing down here?
The Pianta looked up at Daisy and smiled.
Pianta: Howdy! I'm a chuckster!
Daisy gave him a weird look because of what he just said.
Daisy: A… what…?
Pianta: You'd better be careful when speaking to powerful Piantas. Some'll chuck you straight up, but most chuck you backward.
Daisy was wondering what this guy was talking about. But out of nowhere, the Pianta picked her up and held her straight up in the air. Daisy began to scream.
Daisy: HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT!
The Pianta didn't listen however.
Pianta: When it comes to tossing folk, I'm… Well, I'm a chuckster!
Then the Pianta threw her behind him, Daisy was screaming the whole time before landing and getting up. She turned her angry expression upon the Pianta, who was now staring away from her as if she was never there.
Daisy: WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?!
Daisy just huffed and walked away. She approached a pink pianta with a brown hat.
Daisy: Excuse me, sir? Have you seen a Shi-?
Before she could finish, the Pianta hoisted her up.
Pianta: I'm a chuckster!
The Pianta tossed her behind him like she was nothing just like the Pianta before.
Daisy: Ow! You too?!
Now, Daisy was nervous to talk to people. What if they were also 'chucksters' like the other two? Nevertheless, she went and talked to a small Pianta. He was just a kid. Kids can't do any harm, right?
Daisy: Excuse me, little boy? I was wondering if-
Pianta: I may be little, but I never give up!
The little Pianta threw Daisy as well. Not as hard as the adults, but still hard. Another adult Pianta caught her and laughed like a complete maniac as he spoke.
Pianta: HIGHER! HIGHER! AAAHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Daisy: NONONONONONONO!
The Pianta tossed her WAAAAAAAAAY high up into the air, her screaming the whole time and her heart beating so fast that she felt it was gonna pop right out of her chest.
When she fell down, another Pianta picked her up.
Pianta: I'm a chuckster!
The chuckster threw her to the back platform, where she finally had a moment to breathe.
Daisy: I must be having a nightmare! What in the Mushroom World is wrong with these people?!
Just then, a large finger tapped her back shoulder. She didn't dare turn around, but the figure whispered in her ear.
Pianta: IIIIIIIIIII'm… aaaaaaa… chuuuuuuuuck… steeeeeeeeeer…
Daisy: Please! No more! Please!
The Pianta tossed her to the left platform. There she got up with messy hair and bruises on her body. Just then… she felt the radiating glow of the Shine Sprite. She's never been more happy to see one than she was now. Tears were practically flowing out like waterfalls.
Daisy: OH THANK GOD! THANK GOD! GET ME OUT OF HERE!
SHINE!
Daisy: Phew…
