Last time….

Luna made her way into the Mushroom Kingdom in search of her older sister, Francelette. She met Toad, one of many she will meet in the castle. Toad explained how Luna will be able to rescue her friends. Toad also gave Luna her first power star, the first step into rescuing her friends and eventually, her sister.

Today….

Luna attempts to collect her first official world star by going into the Bom-omb Battlefield and that is where we begin today…

(Luna's POV)

I have just jumped inside of a painting of some bombs with faces and a blue sky with some clouds in it. This is my first world to visit.

As I look inside, I see a interface where I can select a star and start entering the world. As of now, since I just started here, I can only select the first star. According to the guidebook I also got from Toad with the star, it says that if a star is blue, then I have not collected it yet and if a star is yellow on the screen, it states that I have collected that star. Also worth mentioning, if I collect a total of 100 coins , I am automatically rewarded with a secret power star. Now its time for the first star to commence.

Bom-Omb Battlefield - Course 1

Star 1: "King Bom-omb on the Summit"

Goal: Defeat King Bom-Omb on top of the mountain.

I selected the first star and I am dropped into an area which looks like a battle field. There are bombs of different colors. Looks like this is why they call it the Bom-Omb battle field. I take a little look around for a bit and I see a big mountain in the distance. Looks like that where I will be heading to for my first star.

In front of me I see pink bombs and I try to interact with them, but when I do, they did not explode and they actually talk.

"Hello young lady, how may I help you?" The pink bomb asked me

"Hello sir, Im wondering why this is the battlefield?" I asked it

"We are at war with the black bom-ombs. They are the ones that explode. As you explore this battle field for power stars, be careful of Goombas, Chain Chomps, black Bom-ombs, and many more creatures" The pink bomb explained

"Im going after the first star of this world. Is that the mountain Im heading for?" I asked it

"Yes it is. That mountain is home to the King Bom-omb. He holds the first star to this world." The bomb said

"How would I get up there" I asked

"First, cross the bridge you see to your right. Keep going left to find a balance bridge. Cross the bridge and climb the stairs. Head toward the gates to find two passage ways. Climbing up the hill leads to a short cut. If you use the hill, make a u-turn going right to continue up the mountain. There is a secret teleport station that takes you to the top. Once you are at the top, King Bom-omb will be waiting for you" The pink bon mob informed

"Thank you kind sir" I told him

"No problem young lady. Good luck" He tells me back

My first star journey has begun. I headed for the bridge that has a slight slope to it. The Goomba on the bridge was brown, with black eyes. It also has a mouth ready to try to bite me. The Goomba tries to run toward me, but I timed my jump and stomped on it. It just popped and a coin came from it. That is my first coin and my first Goomba stomp. 10 points for that one. I continued up the bridge.

As I turned right, I saw a fence to the right. Inside that fence was another power star for a different star number. Also near the area, was some kind of chain attached to a creature with black eyes, black body, and a white outline. He is jumping around. All of a sudden, he spots me and tries to lunge for me, but I stepped out of the way. Thats probably why they called it a Chain Chomp. As I looked toward the balance bridge, I made sure that the Chain Chomp wasn't following me. The Chain Chomp looked away and I ran for the bridge, making it easily to the other side.

I climbed the stairs into another open area. There were Goombas, black bom-ombs, and bubbles coming from the sky. Looks like the bubbles are the weapon to this war. I made my way over to the fence to see the next part. This is now the base of the mountain. Almost to my star.

I decided to go up the hill to take the shortcut. It is a very deep slope, but Im working on my foot work. I decided to hug the wall while going up so that I don't fall down. I walked sideways going up. It would take me about 4 minutes to get up, but I made it. While I went up, I grabbed a red coin. These coins are very special. Not only they give a +2 to your coin total, but if you collect 8 of them, a power star shows up where there is a shadow star outline. That spot was on the left after crossing the balance bridge. I made a u-turn to the right to continue going up the mountain.

As I continued, there was a big round ball going toward my area. I had to move to the left side to make sure I don't get hit. The ball had different ideas. It decided to go to the wall and hit my left leg. Thats only hit number 1, nowhere near danger.

Luna: 7 hit points left

After the ball left my area, I continued moving. All of a sudden, I see an open area to my left. I decided to check it out. As I entered the area, I slowly started going dark, but 3 seconds later, I stepped out and found myself higher on the mountain. Looks like that was the secret teleportation spot the bom-omb was referring to. I decided to jump for the top ledge to meet the King Bom-omb. I went near him and he turns around. He had a mustache and a crown, which symbolized him as a King. He starts talking, but what he says may give me a clue about what is going on with my sister.

" I am the King Bom-omb of this particular world. You have come to try to take my power star. I have locked all of your friends as paintings, and pretty soon, Ill make sure you will never see your precious sister again. If you care about your sister so much, try to run behind me and carry me and hitting me on the ground. " he spoke to me as I got very worried

Like Toad said at the castle, my friends are trapped as paintings, but now, my sister is trapped. The only way to rescue all of them is to collect the power stars, but I wonder if something else is at play here. As I taught of all of this, I was being carried into the air by the bom-omb. I tried to fight back, but he was too strong. He tries to throw me off the mountain, but I hanged on to the ledge. That was close. The King moves away from me, but that is when I saw my opening. I climbed up the ledge and carried the King. He was so shocked that I carried him. All I have to do is throw him to the ground to win the star. I threw him hard in front of me and he knew I won.

"How….is that possible! I know that Mario could do that, but I never knew..you could do that too. Well…Its time for me to give you your reward, but Im going to team up with you" The King said as I got shocked

"Wait a minute. You said you locked up my sister. How can I team up with you?" I asked confused

"You see…theres another guy who did it and I was forced to use his words. The regular guy who locks up Princess Peach is Bowser , but Bowser accidentally knocked your sister unconscious and took her all the way to the top floor. " The King said as i got shocked

My sister was knocked unconscious by Mario's rival, all of my friends are trapped as paintings, and there is that mystery guy…..wait a minute…is it who I think it is?

These things were going through my mind. The King snaps me out of my thinking to reward me with the first official course one power star of the world.

"Almost forgot about this. Go on ahead. Its yours" The King said as he takes out the power star from his pocket.

The star grows into the star that I saw at the castle.

"Please save your sister. If you need me, call me using this" The king said as he gives me a phone of some type

I take the phone and thank him. I touched the star. The star swirls around my body, spreading its magical light around me. As soon as it reached my head I grabbed it and started dancing as if I was Mario.

"We are Mage-Lettes! Kindness Power!" I cheered as I teleported back outside of the painting.
