The three came into the room where they were met with Prince Peasley.
Said hero of the Beanbean Kingdom greeted them saying, "Cheers to the Superstar Trio!"
"Superstar Trio?" the three thought. They looked at each other, then shrugged and went with it. They liked the sound of that name.
"Thank you for your help earlier!" Peasley continued, "Yes, thanks to you, my secret mission is about to pay off!" He then laughed and flaunted his hair and smile.
The three were confused on that. They still had yet to know what the mission was.
The queen and Lady Lima then came into the room, getting everyone's attention, and Queen Bean said, "Prince Peasley! Excellent work on your mission! Have you learned the whereabouts of Cackletta?"
The prince chuckled with pride and replied, "Thanks to you, absolutely!"
"Really!?" The trio said surprised.
"Precisely! Southeast of this castle is Woohoo Hooniversity, our local research institution. Cackletta and her underlings have just snuck in there: into Woohoo Hooniversity!"
"Yes, of course!" said the queen, "Woohoo Hooniversity is the perfect place to awaken the Beanstar!"
"I intend to march into Woohoo Hooniversity right this instant! " And with that, the prince flaunted his hair and smile again. But before he left left the castle, he turned to Aaron and said, "Oh, and Aaron, I almost forgot to return this to you."
He gave Aaron what looks to be a square black smartwatch.
"Hey, thanks." Aaron said, putting it on.
"May we meet again!" said the prince before leaving the castle.
"Aaron! Master Mario! Master Luigi! This may be your chance to recover Princess Peach's voice!" Queen Bean said, "I shall inform the locals that you are allowed passage on the road to Woohoo Hooniversity!"
The queen and Lady Lima then left the room as the now named Superstar Trio made their way to Woohoo Hooniversity.
On their way there, they collected beans, items from blocks, and fought Sharpeas, Lakipeas[Lakitus that have sprouts on their heads and vine covered clouds and throw Sharpeas], Sworms, and Troopeas[this kingdom's counterpart of Koopa Troopas], and Parabeanies.
On the trail Mario asked Aaron, "Hey, Aaron, what's that watch for anyway?" "Oh, this?" he said, "I made this at Woohoo Hooniversity. There's a lot it can do and help out with. I still need to add a map feature to it. You guys still have that map that the Border Bros gave you?"
"I've got it." Said Luigi as he gave Aaron the map. He then folded the map as much as he could until it was as small as it could get. He pressed a button on his watch, making it open, and put the folded map in there, then closed the watch.
Aaron then turned the watch on and on it, there was a new map feature.
I know that's not how technology works, but c'mon, let's be realistic and unrealistic here, has anything really worked the way it's supposed to in the Mario universe?
"Yes, it worked! Hey, look! We're here."
The trio made it to Woohoo Hooniversity then made their way inside.
However, before they could start walking down a hallway, screams of terror and fear were heard as the building trembled a bit.
They had to clear the way because a bunch of Beanish scientists and researchers start running to and out the exit.
"What happened to them?" Asked Aaron. "Let's-a go find out." said Mario.
The three went to the end of the hallway, where there was one researcher who was on the floor.
"Ca-Cackletta and her crew snuck into the Hooniversity! They transform all of the Hooniversity's professors into monsters..."
He then quivered a bit, confusing the three, and right in front of them, he changed into a Laser Snifit! They're like regular Snifits, but they have on a lab coat, and a laser gun on their masks instead of a regular nozzle.
It wasn't that hard to defeat.
They then continued on.
It was a very long journey, so I'll water it down as much as I can.
After getting past an electric gate by hitting a not-so-hidden block, they went on and K.O.'d more Laser Snifits, Yo Bros[green Hammer Bros with fezzes with a small plant on the front, medallions on their necks, and two yo-yos, one red and one green.], Viruses, and Eekers[beakers that wear grass skirts and hold two torches] along the way.
There was a room where there were people researching the blocks that Mario's come in contact with through out the years. There was a Rally block which needs two people to hit it back and forth, that Luigi and Aaron messed with. Aaron ended up with the last hit, because he's some kind of lucky charm when it came to competing.
There were a couple of puzzles they had to solve in order to keep moving, but we won't go into detail with those.
Sorry!
After completing the final puzzle and going through the last door into a hall with a high ledge.
In the room ahead...
they saw the Beanstar surrounded by three robots that looked like Princess Peach.
Fawful came from behind one of them and said, "Preparations have completion! Oh great Cackletta, unleash the voice of Princess Peach on the Beanstar when you are wanting to!"
Cackletta then showed up and cackled before saying, "The moment when all the world will bow down to me has come at last..."
The trio just made it to the room to see Cackletta and Fawful standing in front of the Beanstar and the robots.
She cackled again and pulled out a remote and said, "Peach-bots! Speak!" She pushed the button and cackled once more as the bots were laughing in Peach's voice.
Oh no! The trio's too late!
Wait, huh? The Beanstar's acting...weird. It's glowing red, and looks annoyed for some reason.
The Beanstar then started bouncing around, destroying the floor and making a hole in the process. The Peach-bots fell through the hole, then then Beanstar.
Cackletta stopped her cackling going, "Eeyah ha ha-HUH?! Wh-Wha-What happened?! What is this?!" "I have fright! A situation we had not suspected has begun to d-d-d-develop! May we flee?"
"Not a chance!"
The witch and her number two turned to see the heroes in red, green, and black.
"EEYARGH! Pests! Loathsome pests! And at the worst possible moment!" she said, "We don't have time to deal with you fools!"
Aaron ran up to Fawful and whacked him into the floor. "There. Problem solved. Now you just have to deal with us."
The trio made battle stances as Cackletta said, "Hah! Hmph! Well, won't this be fun! Oh yes! If that's how it is, I'm ready for you! I'm going to knock you all the way back to the Mushroom Kingdom!"
She made herself into a slightly bigger and scarier form and readied her magic.
Play the Battle Theme 'Fawful and Cackletta DX' here.
Cackletta used her magic to make voids in the ground that moved them toward Mario, Luigi, and Aaron. You know they had the power to jump over them.
After she returned to her normal form, Mario and Aaron did their Launcher move, then Mario and Luigi did the Knockback move, then Aaron and Luigi did the Chopper move.
Cackletta held out her hands which made bolts of lightning shoot down at the trio. They all figured out the pattern, which made it easy to jump over the bolts. When she lifts her left arm, the lightning strikes down from left to right. When she lifts her right arm, it comes down from right to left. If she raises both arms, three bolts come down at once.
"Aaron! I've-a got an idea!" "Does it involve a new move?" "Yep!"
The older Italian whispered the move into Aaron's ear, and after understanding, he nodded.
Like the Launcher move, Mario hit Aaron with his hammer then boosted him in the air, then Aaron somersaulted and pulled himself into Cackletta, feet first. But after Aaron pushed himself off Cackletta, Mario boosted him again, and he pulled himself into her again. This happened another three times, and on the one, Mario boosted Aaron with his hammer, making him go higher, and he somersaulted three times then pulled himself into Cackletta with more force!
Say hello to the Super Launcher move.
The final hit from the hammer gave Luigi a new idea for a move. He called his brother over and told him about his idea for a move.
Like the Knockback move, Luigi hit Mario with his hammer and Mini-Mario jumped in the air and Luigi hit him into Cackletta. Mario bounced off her and came towards Luigi, who hit him into her again. This happened twice more and on the last hit, Luigi hit Mario really hard while flipping forward, right into Cackletta!
I'd like you to meet the Super Knockback move.
"My turn! Luigi, c'mere!"
Aaron whispered into Luigi's ear and they put their plan into action.
Aaron dunked Luigi into the ground and the younger brother moved under Cackletta, then popped himself out of the ground while hitting her into the air. When she was up above, Aaron hit Luigi back into the ground and he hit her again when she came back down. They did this another five more times.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Super Chopper move.
After that, Cackletta disappeared into one of her voids in the floor. That one void turned into three and a Cackletta came out of each of them!
"Which is the real me? Do you idiots know?" they all said.
Two of them switched places, twice.
The trio looked at each other. Then Mario suddenly went in and went for the one on the left and jumped on her twice. To everyone else's surprise, the other two Cacklettas disappeared.
"I thought she was the original because she was the only one who cackled before talking." he said.
After that, they did the Super Bounce move.
Cackletta did her lightning move again, which the trio dodged. Then came the Launcher move and Super Knockback move.
Cackletta then said, "Tenacious little boys, aren't you? I'm too busy for such games! Time for this to end!"
Cackletta then grew into her bigger and scarier form. It didn't last long though.
She only did her void move and that gave the three an advantage. They did their Super Splash, Knockback, and Super Chopper moves.
The second they were done, Cackletta was K.O.'d!
Cut the music!
"H-How could this happen?!" said the witch in a weak tone as she was on the floor. She looked like she could poof away at any second.
"CACKLETTA! Do not have the worries!" said Fawful, who was still in the floor. He popped out of the floor and flew behind Cackletta with his jet-vacuum-helmet. "Watch! I am sucking up your energy with this headgear!"
He did just that, and now Cackletta's life force is now swirling around in Fawful's helmet.
"Oh...Oh...Oh, Fawful...Give them one final...attack for me!"
"I say to you YES!"
The three readied for another fight, but before anything could happen, Prince Peasley jumped in and knocked him down. He pulled out his dagger and struck Fawful more than once and with one swing he knocked Them out of the Hooniversity!
"Now, quickly! To the fallen Beanstar!"
"Hey, Peasley," started Mario, "Something happened to the Beanstar. When it heard Peach's voice, it went mad. Do you know what happened?" "Hmm, I sense a surprising secret at the center of this riddle!"
That confused the trio.
"I shall explain it all in detail once we have safely recovered the Beanstar that has fallen below. You three must go to the bottom floor immediately!" The prince then left and flew away on his winged bean.
The trio then left to get the Beanstar.
