Mushroom Way :: Boring Tutorials & UH OH TOAD'S KIDNAPPED AGAIN!
A heartbroken, a vengeful Toad runs out the door, realizing his date Peach already jumped into a threesome with Bowser and his own idol Mario. How can it get any worse than this?
Observe Mario's expression. Perfectly normal, right? But take a closer look at his eyes:
Hey Mario! You look kinda cool! :o
All this and more in Super Mario RPG: Opera of the Seven Stars!
Toad rams Mario into the poison ivy! Mama mia!
Toad: *snicker*
But Mario, being Mario, shakes himself off in spite of the growing rash.
Mario: What!? DDD:
Toad: *Nelson laugh* HAW HAW
Mario: No, I don't a-want it. I a-remember the last time you gave me that stuff! DDD:
Toad: Straight from the Nowhere Islands! :D
Mario: Aw no! D:
Mario: ...It a-depends what the situation is.
Toad: You were a carpenter right? You used utensils and scapels such as a doctor, right?
Mario: Scapels! :D
Toad: *grumble* You sure know how to handle the princess's plumbing.
*WALL OF SILENCE*
So did Paula in Earthbound. WRONG GAME TOAD
"Oh, it's my cue now? Oops!" PUPPET EXAMPLE DUDE.
Mario: MAMA MIA
Mario: Hey Goomba! Have you seen Luigi? :DDD
Toad: *THUD*
Yes we do!
Puri likes Toad's little jump there. :o
AND PUNCH YOUR DARKNESS OUT TOO
AIYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
In reality, he just walked off and left. Crap.
I dunno, he seemed the silent kinda guy to me.
Toad: All right you two. We know you've been watching all along.
Wario: Arrrrgh! *pounds fist*
Waluigi: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA *stomps* *packs up and goes home*
Again? You should keep notes or a string or something Toad.
Oh yeah! He'll be delighted about this, I'm sure!
Is this a nightly invitation?
Toad, I thought you hated me for--!
Oh! Okay! Nevermind! XD
Squaa-da-la! Toad's off!
Yeah, 1 HP. Toad hadn't really done anything at all except give me four free Mushrooms. XD Nice guy, eh? ;D I don't have to waste either of them, I can just go to bed! Haha...
See? Tap this cute little night-light and Mario'll flop into bed like a tired teenager.
Mario's snooze bubbles. He'll lie there blinking until you wake him up with a jump. :)
*cue Happy Adventure, Delightful Adventure*
Let's boogie!
*Tourist Guide Voice* Welcome to Mushroom Way! Today is the first level for the rest of your lives! Starking contrast to the hell and doom and gloom of the underworld Final Stage that won't be until hours late in the game SO ENJOY IT WHILE YOU CAN.
Over there, we have Toad being raped by a Goomba! Hey, wait a minute--that Toad? Is he a Toad we know? Oops, don't mind the scenery folks! Uh oh... Here comes our first battle!
The world is a giant scary place...
...With giant scary Goombas.
You can't just let those guys push you around Mario! That's plain cruelty, raising their hopes like that.
Oh yeah! Nothing we can't handle.
Leveling up is a giant celebration in Super Mario RPG. So much that they give you an additional stat boost of your choice! Pick carefully for it'll be a matter of maxing your party's stats. :o
God Mario, your defense sucks.
You can pick between Attack, HP, or Magic. We can all groan at Puri's poor choices. Here I gave Mario a +3 for his magic 'cause he'll need it for a boss fight coming right up. You'll see when he's Level 3. :o
There's two ? boxes here. Both contain coins. :o Like regular ? boxes in Mario games, you gotta milk this one as much as you could in the time allotted or you've wasted it. XD Annnnnnnnnnd I do this while poor Toad's being tormented.
Okay okay, I'll save him from the Evil Goomba.
What's on my shoe? Eww, Goomba guts!
What makes this ironic is Goomba is still standing right there.
Yay! This is for my FP: Flower Points! Aka magic.
Goomba: Hey, uh... want me to get him for ya again?
Mario: That-a won't be necessary.
Here's the second area! Much prettier, eh? Must be all the sky around here.
More enemies chasing me. AAAAAAAAAA RUN AWAY RUN AWAY *poof* *victory fanfare*
Okay, so what's a cranky Goomba doing atop a spinning flower? Only one way to find out! *boing* *squishie*
Haha, back off, suckers. Those Goombas wanted to ambush me! XD
Aim Mario in the direction you want, and he'll jump to higher territory! There's another neat trick you can do with this flower...
...make Mario dizzy. Let him stand on the flower for a minute and he'll collapse from nausea. Then he'll shake his head and be just fine! :o
I guess alcohol shouldn't be taken with spinning flowers.
Platform in the west! This box has a Flower, which recovers both your HP and FP. :o
Platform in the north! This place has... nothing! Oh balls, it's a Goomba ambush!
Platform in the east! Oh no, Toad ran into some trouble again, literally! Where is Mario in all this?
...Watching. Look Mario, there's a time and place for revenge, and it's called Bowser's Castle.
Now guys, I wanna introduce you to this purple flower. When you defeat opponents, sometimes they pop up these flowers which benefit your party in some way, like "HP Max!", "FP Max!", "Attack Up!", "Defense Up!" and "Lucky!". Normally the messages say for themselves, but what does it mean, "Lucky"?
Lemme take care of Sky Troopa here first. Ow. D:
Whoa, that's a bigger window than usual!
If you get a Lucky Flower, you get a chance to gamble! :o I always say yes 'cause I'm usually awesome at this game and that the odds are mainly in my favor. It's a matter of eye coordination, really. Sometimes you're challenged to double your coins too.
The eggs spin and you gotta pick which one's Yoshi.
Yay! Double Exp!
Heartless, Spirited Away soot spider, Tamagotchi, or one of those static spiders from the Kirby series? Either way, those guys SUCK. And I'll show you why:
Geez that really fucking blows. At least I get a free mushroom. Compensation?
If you get this little birdie chick, nothing happens at all. Better than losing everything, right? XD
Toad: Yeah, I just wanna get out of your sight as soon as possible, you little prick.
Right, thanks Toad. I'll nab this Mushroom, which maxes my HP.
A Lakitu. Uh huh, I'm definitely looking forward to this.
They drop Spinies all over the place and they spread like germs. Grr.
Ambush Spot #1! Spinies already hatched like to pounce on you like that.
Ambush Spot #2! 'Cause trying to go back is a doozy.
Ah ha ha! Take that, Lakitu! Fuck you to next level!
Puri's tried to take out Lakitu, but he was too high for Mario to reach. You can only exhaust his Spiny supply instead. On the plus side:
WHOOOOOOOOOOOO! Finally we can do something with all our FP! But who to test it on?
...Whoa. Toad? You need new friends.
Some guys think with their brains. Other guys with their ding-dongs. Hammer Bros. think with their hammers.
Mario: And he-a spanks you with a hammer too?
Toad: kldsjfgskg That's NOT what I meant!
Please, we've already got TWO Hulk movies.
STOP!
BREAK IT DOWN!
CAN'T TOUCH THIS! (Why is it the hammers are so perfectly aligned though? XD)
One brother down! The other one's mad. That blue sphere around him was Valor Up.
Time for the big guns! Different suits of cards like spades and clubs appear before you use magic. For Mario it was an aqua-colored spade, but I missed capping that. Don't worry, we'll see it again later.
Hold Y Repeatedly! Pyro Time!
Whenever I use Fire Orb or a related attack, I hear a little voice shouting "Rekka Shin'en!" in my head. Must be from my Fushigi Yuugi days.
When you beat bosses, you get Coin Fireworks/Fountains rather than the usual coin twinkle. ;D
VEEK-TORY! Can I get some magic dirt with that jar?
Whoa, so I'm your hero again? Cool!
Time to be the town scapegoat!
Hephaestus forged it.
I just told you! I'm not repeating myself. D:
I like how Toad drags the Hammer behind him like it's too heavy for him to carry. Aww.
Mario could fight Bowser with a blunt paperclip and still win.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAPOOOOON
I'm going to cradle it and call it Bob 'till I get a new squishie.
Okay okay Toad, I'll save you from the Toad muggers.
What happens if you DON'T save Toad? What if you skip past him and go straight to the Hammer Bros?
No hostage? Damn, they really are just cranky!
Mario investigates the hammer on his own.
In other words, Mario learns the same thing!
Mario: I a-wonder how Toad's doing with the a-leech-infested swamps!
Toad actually manages to beat the monsters on his own! :o
Mario: Oh! So you got a-laid after all! :D
Toad: ...I wouldn't put it that way.
In the next screencap misadventure, we will! I wanna explore town first. :o
