"So, what am I here for?" Daisy asked, hands on hips. They had been sailing for 2 days, and still, they hadn't got to wherever they were going. Goombsworth blushed.

"Yeah…about that. Follow me." He said, leading her to the bow of the ship.

"I came from a far off island, called Isle Grunchio. The power source there comes from the islands Volcano, Mount Batten. But recently, someone placed a rock over the volcano, and we suspect foul play. We needed someone to come and help us, and I chose you." He explained, while Daisy listened on.

"Why me?" She asked, confused. Goombsworth chuckled, and hopped up some stairs onto a small platform.

"Because you have guts…and teleportation." He said, winking at her. Now it was Daisy's turn to blush.

"Yes, I learnt that only a few months ago, before the strikers tournament." She reminisced, smiling.

"But you need to brush up on your skills." Goombsworth said, smiling. "For example, how would you get up here?" He asked, looking down on Daisy. Daisy could think of no option other than the stairs.

"You can jump using the A button. Give it a try!" Goombsworth said. With that, Daisy jumped onto the platform.

"Woo! That was easy!" She commented, and Goombsworth laughed. He jumped onto a higher platform, and said, "Can you get up this one?"

"Probably not." Daisy remarked, looking up at him.

"But you can! Press A in the middle of a jump to do a double jump, which lets you get up much higher." Goombsworth explained.

Daisy double jumped up onto the platform.

"I never knew I could do that!" She remarked, but Goombsworth had climbed up to an even higher platform.

"WHAAAAAAT! I can't jump THAT!" Daisy yelled, turning away.

"But you can! Just duck using Z, then when you start to flash, press A and you will perform a super jump!" Goombsworth stated. Daisy crouched down, and when she flashed orange, super jumped onto the platform.

"That was easy!" Daisy said, smiling.

"But do you know how to fight?" Goombsworth said, pointing to four life rings. Daisy shrugged.

"Fine. Press B to punch, or, if you want to do a combo, press B three times in a row to punch, then punch again, and then kick! Give it a go." Goombsworth explained. Daisy punched, then punched again, then finally kicked the life ring, smacking it backward. Daisy cheered, but the life ring swung back and hit her on the head. Goombsworth winced.

"I forgot to tell you-duck enemies attacks by ducking with Z. If you move while holding Z, you can crawl." He explained.

"Thanks for telling me…" Daisy muttered under her breath. This time, she punched the life ring, and when it swung back, she ducked to avoid it.

"You can also kick in the air by pressing B in the middle of a jump or double jump. Try it!" Goombsworth said. Daisy nodded, and kicked the life ring, then ducked as she landed.

Then, Goombsworth walked over to a switch.

"If you see a switch like this one, you can stomp on it to activate it. Double jump, then press Z in the air. You will stomp down. You can also use this to squish enemies if you want. Try it on the switch." He said. Daisy double jumped, before smashing down onto the switch. Then, another switch appeared on a wall, very low down.

"Try hitting that switch with your low kick. Duck with Z, then kick down low with A. If you hold it down and someone walks over your leg, you can trip him or her up." Goombsworth explained.

Daisy then ducked down, and kicked the switch. Then, a hole opened in the wall, and a Koopa waddled out.

"Um…Goombsworth…?" Daisy said, gesturing to the Koopa.

"Lets see you destroy this Koopa." Goombsworth replied.

Daisy jumped onto the Koopa, making it go inside its shell. Then, she low kicked it into a wall, where the shell shattered into 1000 tiny pieces. Goombsworth smiled, then scuttled through the hole.

"You can crawl to follow me through, you know how to, right? Hold down Z and use the control stick to crawl around." He said. Daisy groaned as she crawled after him. They came out the hole right next to Daisy cruiser's swimming pool.

"You can swim, too. Just jump in the water. When in, you can tap Z to swim around, and use the control stick to move. If you want to go underwater, press up and start swimming." Goombsworth commented.

"Okay then!" Daisy yelled, jumping in. She swam about for a while, getting used to swimming again. She hadn't swum for ages. Then. She got out, shivering.

"I'll now show you how to use items. First, scroll through your items with left and right on the D-Pad. Try getting the mushroom." Goombsworth said, explaining another thing.

Daisy looked through her items until she reached the mushroom.

"Now what?" Daisy asked.

"Now, press up on your D-Pad to use the item. This mushroom will make you grow for 10 seconds, then you will shrink to normal size again. It's useful for attacking and breaking walls."

Daisy selected the mushroom, and she grew about 4 metres. She stomped around for a bit, then shrunk back down.

"You can stomp boxes, crates and other things to brake them and find items inside." Goombsworth said, as Daisy got used to being small again.

"Right-anything else I can do?" Daisy asked, scratching her head. Goombsworth nodded.

"The more enemies you defeat, the more your flower gauge goes up-When it's full, press the C button to unleash the move: Flower Fury! It has the same effect as a star." Goombsworth said, before gasping.

"Silly me! You can teleport too!" Goombsworth stated.

"Yeah-how do I do that?" Daisy asked.

"By shaking the Wii remote, you will teleport a few metres in front of you. You can teleport through grid fences, or bars, but not solid walls." Goombsworth said.

Daisy tried it out a few times, laughing.

"Now, I will put your skills to the test! Petey!" Goombsworth yelled.

"I have a bad feeling about this…" Daisy muttered.

Petey Piranha came walking from behind a wall. He roared, and then charged at Daisy. Daisy teleported to the side then kicked Petey in the stomach while in the air. Petey roared, and Daisy flinched. But she then stomped on his head, and Petey stopped.

He seemed to laugh, then picked Daisy up and started hugging her.

"Hey…! You! Mr. Petey! Put me DOWN!" Daisy shrieked as Petey hugged her some more.

"I think he likes you!" Goombsworth said, chuckling.

"We could use him as a friend for heavy work. Ah! We're here!" Goombsworth yelled, jumping up and down at the sight of the island.
