CHAPTER 1-1

-The Adventure Unfolds-

The first world that they were going to was starting to get drawn. Trees were revealed, and the ground had dirt and green grass, as well as flowers and bushes, while the trees were pixel-like. It was simply beautiful, especially for the beginning of the adventure.

A red door appeared, which Chopper walked out of with his "friend" that decided to go with him. Though Tippi was reluctant to help, she had no other choice but to travel with this child.

Chopper began to stretch and let out his childish yawn. "Oh, boy! It sure is a beautiful day out here! The air is nice here…" he smiled and turned to Tippi, who was unsure of what to say.

"Tippi… You kind of felt, well… A little reluctant to go with me. Just how you sounded made me think you actually didn't want to come with me. I mean, you can tell me if you're not happy to be here."

"No, it's not you. It's just that I was forced to become this again…" Tippi trailed. "You seem like a nice boy, I'll admit… But I don't know you that much and I can't necessarily trust you yet…"

"Is that the reason? Huh… Well, sometimes you can't really trust people you first meet."

"I don't have a large amount of distrust in you, or else I wouldn't be with you... You are, after all, the hero of the prophecy..."

"I guess that's true. I guess I can trust that you'll be helpful. Anyway, we gotta find that Pure Thingamajig that the door led us to. Now where could it be?" Chopper wondered as he began to look off at the distance.

"Hmmm… I feel the Pure Heart. But it's still far from here… Merlon told us to find his friend, Bestovius, to learn that dimensional technique. We'd better go find him…"

"Oh, yes! We gotta go find Bestovius! That's the important part!" Chopper realized.

"One more thing… If you want to learn about anything, just use my powers… I know about many things that you probably don't…"

Simply point your Wii Remote at the screen and Tippi will focus on where you point. Then, just press (A) over anything framed in red to hear more about it. Feel free to ask Tippi about anything or anyone you want!

"...Huh? What was that?" Chopper gawked.

"What do you mean?" Tippi wondered. "Do you have a question to ask me?"

"Errr... No, not really. We just need to move on and that's it." Chopper started off with only 10 HP, just like all the other stories. He began to start moving through the path to the right, running by a yellow, flashing ? Block and another pair of brown Brick Blocks.

"Hmmm… I wonder what's in here." Chopper punched a ? Block underneath him and a Mushroom came out, sliding off the blocks and coming down. Chopper used his Inhale to eat it.

This is a Mushroom! Grab these to recover HP.

Though he would've questioned what he just heard, Chopper decided not to. He recovered 10 HP from the Mushroom and stomped on a Goomba ahead while performing a Stylish as he bounced off. To his surprise, they only had 1 HP compared to their usual 2. Regardless, he carried on until he found something up ahead.

"Hey, there's a solid wall here!" Chopper braked in front of a couple of brown blocks that were unbreakable and couldn't be destroyed. All he could do was hit the Brick Block under him and jump over the wall with it.

"I guess we can't go over there…" he jumped down onto the other side and also a pit and saw pink pig-like enemies that were in the shape of a square, mouths and small legs.

"Those are Squiglets. Don't think you can take them out as easily as a Goomba..."

"OK... Then I'll do this!" Chopper inhaled the Squiglet and spat it toward the wall to defeat it. Afterward, he continued his way onward. Despite being in a completely different world, there were still things that made it look like they would belong in Mario's world. The green Warp Pipe he jumped over, for example, was one of them.

After a few seconds of moving, they saw a house up some steps, so Chopper went up there with Tippi.

"So this is Bestovius's house… Well, Chopper, we better go in to get that ability…" Tippi suggested. Chopper hit the Save Block first, and then he walked into the house, which looked empty.

"Huh? There's nothing here! What gives?" Chopper asked as he looked around the room.

"This is not an empty house…I remember being here before..." Tippi recalled. "There was a door here. I can feel something in this room… Chopper, I can help you find hidden things around here. Why don't you use my power to look around?"

"OK, let me try to see how I can use your power…" Chopper paused for a moment. "…Hold on, how DO I?"

"It's very simple…" Tippi floated over to Chopper and disappeared. Chopper's eyes turned to a rainbow color, and everything felt dark around him. "Don't worry… I'm still here. I'm just in you. Look around for anything. You might find something…"

Chopper's eyes were shooting a ray of rainbow light, and he saw a hidden door in the room. "There's a hidden door here, Tippi! I can see it!"

"Yes, I can see it… Let me make it visible for you…" Tippi reappeared back outside of Chopper, and they both saw a door in front of them.

"So he hid the door again… Well, all we can do is go in…" Tippi followed Chopper through the door, which was also small.

"Another small room? Well there's not much here..." Chopper trailed.

"Hmmmmmmmm?"

Chopper saw a shaman that had a purple face, glasses that had a white outline on them, a blue weird hat, a red cape with a yellow trim and a white pixel-like mustache. He was also on a pixel cloud. From what Chopper knew, this could very well be Bestovius.

"What are those strange antennae that stands before me?" Bestovius wondered. "And how does it have the audacity to address my multi-colored glory? …How did those white gloves detect my secret door…"

"Ummmm... I did it...somehow." Chopper blinked.

Bestovius got a better look at him, and he was utterly shocked. "Wait right there! pale green skin…a pair of antennae…child-like face…green feet…white gloves, a shape that reminds me of a gumball. Hah! You have the looks like the hero of prophecy! You must be the great…"

Chopper gasped as he pointed to himself. He even began to smile as well.

"HERO…impersonator!"

Chopper instantly fell over.

"What a costume you've dressed yourself into! You look like you leaped out of the hidden pages of the Light Prognosticus!" Bestovius laughed as Chopper got up and shook his head.

"But this isn't a costume! Why are you taking me for someone else?"

"This is Chopper!" Tippi spoke up. "He has the looks of the hero because he IS the hero… Merlon told us to find you."

"Merlon?! He's the one that sent you? Only his full-bodied beard rivals my hair magnificence…" Bestovius trailed.

"What's so important about mustaches?" Chopper asked.

"If only I could shave that beard off, my beard rank would be number one! Anyway, if Merlon thinks you're the true hero, then I believe you probably are. I think… Well, then. As the ancient prophecy foretells… I, Bestovius, will bestow upon you the ancient secrets of dimension flipping. …For a normal fee of 10,000 coins!"

Chopper's mouth dropped before he had to pick it up from the ground. "10,000 coins? Wh-What? …OK, lemme check how much I got."

He checked how many coins he had…and all he had were 10.

"OK, that's ten coins. Only 9,990 to go! Let's go get a lemonade stand set up, Tippi. I heard that's a way to get coins." Chopper was about to leave the room, but Tippi pulled him back to Bestovius.

"No! We're not going to be doing that, Chopper…" Tippi wondered how she was able to drag him back over to Bestovius, since she was just a Pixl. But that didn't matter when she turned back to Bestovius. "That's preposterous! Why 10,000 coins? You can't charge him that much money! He's only a small child, and children his age wouldn't have that amount of money! Not to mention you can't charge to teach the hero of prophecy!"

"Why not? Even the great and splendiferous Bestovius has certain…expenditures." Bestovius explained. "Why should the hero get the world delivered to him on a well-garnished platter? These heroes just think they can get away with shaking people down for free skills! A mere 10,000 coins should be nothing for a hero of the universe. What do you say?"

"Ummmm... No thanks." Chopper replied. "I don't have that many coins..."

Bestovius sighed. "I see. So you refuse to pay me 10,000 coins. So be it. I will settle for just taking all the coins in your pocket. Do we have a deal?"

"Errr... That sounds too risky. I might need it for something important."

"Still you refuse? So be it. Though it makes me ill, I will waive the nominal fee and teach you for free. Do you agree to this?"

"For free? OK, I'm cool with that!"

"Scintillating! Let us begin!" Bestovius floated over to Chopper and began to perform a spell on him.

"Flimmidy flammidy flooom! Diggidy daggidy doom! Zibbidy zabbidy zooom! SHABOOOM! FLIPPOW!"

A bunch of outlined boxes appeared around and went into Chopper. What was strange was that they didn't feel painful to him. It felt like he just gained a brand new power.

"Whoa… Did a bunch of boxes just go into me?" Chopper gaped. "And it…wasn't so painful. Can anyone explain to me what just happened?"

"I, Bestovius, have granted you the ability to flip between dimensions. Yes, now YOU can do such a thing, unlike your friends! You may brag all you want to them. Press (A) to slip between the very fabric of space and flip between 2-D and 3-D! Well, what do you think? Mind blowing, isn't it?"

"Uh… Sure, I guess it's mind-blowing, but I have no idea what you mean by an (A) button. Can you explain this to me?"

"What is this (A) I speak of? I assure you that if we are being watched from another dimension… Those beings would understand."

"Watched from another dimension? Now who would wanna do that?"

"But you lack the antennae for full comprehension. Just remember that you can use this ability to find hidden items and secret paths. But beware: use your new ability too long, and you will lose HP."

"All right, thanks for the help!" Chopper left the room and decided to use his awesome ability. A black outlined box appeared around him, and he flipped into 3-D. He saw a red rug in this room and also a Fire Flower and Shell.

Use the flip ability to flip into 3-D! Flip between 2-D and 3-D to get through tricky situations and find secrets. While you're flipping, the Flip Gauge in the upper left will start to drop. If your Flip Gauge runs out, you'll start to take damage, so flip back before then! Flip back to 2-D to build up your Flip Gauge again.

Chopper raised his arms up and flipped back to 2-D. "Huh… So that's how to do it… Cool!" he left the house and ran down to the brown wall that was in the way. Tippi took a look at it too.

"I would suggest flipping here, Chopper… I can feel that this is the way we need to go…" Tippi informed.

Chopper flipped again and saw he was able to break the physics of 2-Dness and walk around the brown blockade to a red door with a star with a rainbow frame around it.

"Nice door," Chopper smiled as he opened it and walked right in to find another area he came out of from the door. It was still flat, but this time there was a Koopa Troopa with sunglasses and a green shell.

Defeat enemies to earn points! When you earn enough points, you'll level up and increase your HP and attack power. Press (+) to go to the menu and see how many points you need.

"I need points to level up? OK… This is a lot different than how I used to level up. No Star Points? No partners? …OK, I can live with that. Sometimes a hero needs a little break of having partners with him."

He jumped up and he stomped on a Koopa, making him hide in its shell. Yeah, apparently these Koopas were on Tipral's side. Afterward, the Koopa shell was kicked and it knocked a couple of Goombas and Koopas up ahead.

"That was easy!" Chopper said, but Tippi was alerted when she saw the Koopa shell coming back toward him after hitting a tall pipe.

"CHOPPER! BEHIND YOU!"

Chopper turned around and saw the Koopa shell coming toward him. His eyes widened, but he jumped over it without getting hurt.

"That was close… Now let's see what we got here." Chopper walked over to the tall green pipe ahead. There were two others ahead, and since he didn't feel like jumping them, he flipped to go past them.

"Watch out for bottomless pits…" Tippi warned as a pit was coming up ahead. Chopper flipped back after going past the pipes, and he hit the blocks nearby with the Goombas, taking them out.

"Hey! A Mushroom!" Chopper smiled as a Mushroom came out of one of the ? Blocks, so he ate it to recover 10 HP. He didn't need it, but he did have an appetite… But enough about that. He crossed over the pit and found three ? Blocks and one above it, as well as two Squiglets.

"What ARE those creatures? They look very weird, honestly… Got any idea of what they are?"

"Certainly…" Tippi disappeared and Chopper's eyes turned rainbow again. He looked at the Squiglet and scanned it…or rather, tattled it.

"This is a Squiglet… It's a small little creature that scurries around on its many legs... Max HP is 2 and Attack is 1. There isn't much else to say about Squiglets... When it spots an enemy, it gets excited and hops up and down..." Tippi informed before she reappeared by Chopper so his eyes wouldn't be too bright.

"Interesting…" Chopper spun his foot around on the ground to hit the two Squigs, which defeated them. He hit the ? Block on the top to find a flower. Something happened when he grabbed it, however…

This is a Happy Flower! For a little while, flowers with coins will rain down!

"Ooh! It's raining coins!" Chopper began to grab some of the coins that were coming down, while Tippi groaned.

"Ugh… I'm going to get nowhere with this boy…" Tippi muttered as she grabbed Chopper and dragged him over to the huge bottomless pit and also a couple of hills in the background. "See if you can find anything in 3-D here… And don't even think about messing around…"

"OK, fine. You always seem so…dull." Chopper frowned as he flipped into 3-D and found the hill in the background was a hill he could walk on, so he crossed over by doing that and flipped back to 2-D afterward.

"OK, we're not too far now," Chopper said as he jumped up the steps and over the gap and defeated some Squiglets and a purple Squiglet called a Squig. He was led to a red door at the end of the area, since a wall was in the way.

Even if Tippi was annoyed with this boy, she knew he couldn't get himself in any trouble, but she followed him through the door to another flat area. There wasn't much here except for a spring that led over the big hill and a rainbow-colored slinky enemy that bounced around.

"Weird enemy…" Chopper jumped and spun his foot around to kick the Sproing-Oing and make it into smaller ones. A simply spin kick on the ground finished them off.

"If you wanted to know, those were Sproing-Oings... They're not really a big threat whatsoever…" Tippi informed as Chopper jumped onto the spring to launch him over the hill and to the other side to meet a couple of Squiglets.

"Why are they jumping up and down? Are they running on sugar or something?" Chopper asked. Tippi ignored him and waited for Chopper to take them out, but she noticed when he hit the ? Block around, a Zombie Shroom came out.

Run for your life! It's a Zombie Shroom!

"What do you mean 'Run for my life'? And who's telling me this anyway? Hey! If you're out there, I'll take you on and…WOOOAH!" Chopper jumped and he defeated the Zombie Shroom with a simple stomp. With that, Chopper flipped into 3-D when he found another hill and he found a TON of Squiglets there. He gasped, but he knew it was time to put his Fire Flower to good use.

"OK, time to plant you!" he planted the Fire Flower and it spewed out fireballs at the Squiglets, burning each and every one of them. Luckily, he leveled up and his HP increased to 15. Not bad at all!

"Nice! My first level up, and in the first level! This is just awesome…" Chopper flipped back to 2-D and found some more brown stairs that led up to a red door.

"This is the last part of this area… I can feel it…" Tippi trailed.

Chopper nodded and found three pipes ahead. They were short, but Piranha Plants came out to attack. But, he had an attack that Mario didn't have to take them out.

"OK, there are Piranha Plants here. No big deal! A good Spinning Kick should take care of them!" Chopper knocked the Piranha Plants out of their pipes with a simple spin kick. There wasn't anything else, so he moved ahead to find another ? Block.

"Let's see what we got!" Chopper punched the ? Block, and a yellow star came out, and when he touched it, he felt an immense 8-bit power in his hands.

This is a Mega Star! Use it to grow to mega proportions and trample your enemies.

"Whoa… I'm feeling…power within me!" Everything went blank for him, and all he could see was 8-bit versions of himself running around. He was suddenly changing… No, he was being redrawn…but as a giant 8-bit version of himself. Paint got splattered on him so he was colored.

"Holy… I'm 8-bit! Now it's on!" Chopper cheered as he found a lot of Brick Blocks and enemies up ahead, so he began to trample through everything in sight. Even the Goombas ran away from him.

"No! Oh no! For Goomba's sake, don't trample me!" the Goombas cried.

Unfortunately, they were knocked away by Chopper, who didn't even hear them. The Mega Star didn't last very long, as 8-bit Chopper exploded back into his old self.

"Awww… I loved that!" Chopper sighed, but Tippi poked him. "What is it, Tippi?"

She flew over to a block with a rainbow trim and a star in it, which happened to be a Star Block.

"This is called a Star Block. Just strike this and we'll end the level." Tippi informed.

"Oh... OK. That's not too bad." Chopper ran underneath the block and gave it a good punch. Twenty stars of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, gray, pink, white, forest green, dark orange, light blue, red orange, silver, dark gray, brown, pale green, dark purple and black came out of the block.

"Wow… Look at those stars… They look beautiful!" Chopper smiled as he gazed at them. "I've never seen anything like this!"

END OF CHAPTER

And so Chopper came to learn the stupendous ability of flipping between dimensions. But there wasn't any time to celebrate: Chopper still had a Pure Heart to find. The trail of Lineland Road is long, but was overrun by savage beasts. "Follow me," Tippi said, as she flew towards the trail that continued on to Lineland Road instead of the mountains to the left. "Uh… Are you sure this is the right way? This place still feels kind of the same…" said Chopper as he followed her. The Pure Heart was hidden somewhere on that road.

Well, there you go, people. That's the first part of Chapter 1 for you in a nutshell. :P

And no, we don't go to Mount Lineland. This time it's all Lineland Road, baby! So... It's time to get my brain to act up. Anyway, that's all for now. It may look a little repetitive, but it's only Chopper at this moment. Things will get better afterward (I think). Trust me.

And another important thing... In Super Paper Mario, there were about four levels in a chapter. For this, there will be five. Why? Well, there's a lot I wanna throw in here, and for Chopper "tradition", it would probably be five levels in a world.
