Note: Mario's POV. It's been a year since I've played the game, so I don't know what the sewer map looks like.
We had returned to the village (which was a rip off of the other Koopa village, except for the toads and not bombs living here) where Koops decided to stay with us and become stronger, and braver. Goombella asked Koopie Pie to join the party since she was speedier than Koops, but she didn't want because she didn't want to die.
"Your loss" Goombella told her, as we began to leave.
"Son, wait!" Koops' father said.
The three of us stopped and Koops looked at his father oddly, because they already said there good byes.
"Ha! The three of you stood there like I was commanding you, like dogs!" He said laughing.
We left with Koops apologizing about his dad's behavior, saying that he had too much Koopa tea and that he's really happy to be out of the dragon's stomach. Before Mario and company could leave the town entrance they heard a ring go off. Mario got out his DS/communicator.
"Must be Luigi trying to get me to clean again." Mario thought.
He put it away as he ignored the ringing, but as they walked more the ringing didn't stop.
He got his DS back out and replied to the letter from peach.
"Fine Luigi you win! I'll clean after this adventure!" He typed.
Later we returned to the front of the 1,000 year old door, and stepped at the front of the pedestal. The first star revealed where the second star was, and it was in a black and white tree. After, a white flash appeared and we were in the professor house. He told us about the black and white tree of Boggly woods. He then told us of the Punis that lived there, while he was talking I remembered I saw one earlier, and for once I didn't sleep through a lecture.
Flashback!
Mario and Goombella entered a room with a crack in the wall, but had a huge width. Mario thought he had seen a snail, and threw his hammer at it. The Puni ran away, and entered a crack in the wall.
"Darn, I wanted to catch it." Mario thought.
He took out his DS.
Dear DS,
I'm sad I didn't catch a Pun; I still have yet to capture a monster and call it my own. Goombella is nagging me, and…I smell cheese, I'm happy now, got to go, bye!
He put his DS away and left the room.
The professor finished his speech and we left.
When we went around town to stock up on items, I saw my brother with a vegetable; I went up to him and talked to him, although I couldn't talk.
He started to tell me a boring story of how he got a letter with a map and how he had to go and defeat monsters to save a princess, then he said the compass piece reveals where the next one is. If I could talk I would have told him to save it for when I was really sleepy.
After his story, the vegetable stood there silently.
"Figures" I thought.
After an hour of hide and seek from Goombella, we went to where the guard near the professor's house was. There we faced him in combat. I hit him with my hammer several of times, and he ran away, after. We entered this part of the town and it wasn't as ghetto as the other part. (Author: I apologize using the word ghetto, but I blame it on Koops and Goombella! Now, Koops apologize for typing that!) We left that part of the town because it was expensive. We entered the sewers by dropping through the slim hole, by turning sideways, and we headed towards where we saw the Puni.
Note: Next chapter is the Boggly Woods! And no confusing rooms this time!
