Super Mario 63/Secret Course: Mushroom Kingdom

Intro cinematic showing Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Peach's castle, Toad waiting for Mario, then

Mario popping out of a tube somewhere in Mushroom Kingdom. He approaches a sign, and the tutorial

begins.

Tutorial --- "Welcome to the Mushroom Kingdom! The first thing you need to know is how to move (Arrow Keys),

and how to read signs by pressing 'Z'. Try reading that sign over there." Press Z to

close the window.

Walk to the right by pressing right, then press Z in front of the second sign.

The controls window will pop up, revealing that you can also use {kbd|X}} and C.

Continue to the right and read the third sign. "You can run by double tapping right or left. In

the air you can press down to lunge or dive forwards. Also, while on ducking/crouching on the

ground, you can backflip off the ground by quickly pressing up and back."

Walk to the right and you'll notice a toad on the other side of the bridge. Speak to him with

Z and he'll tell you that you can talk to toads with the "Z button". Past toad is a steep

ledge. When you approach it, a hint will appear at the top left: "Hint: jumping twice in a row

makes you jump higher". Simply hold right and press up once, then again when you

land to propel Mario high enough to reach the top of the hill.

To the right is a small log bridge that has fallen apart. Jump over it and grab the coins. If you

happen to fall down, swim to the bottom of the water and then follow the arrows to surface back

near Toad.

The next sign you reach tells you to jump on Goombas to defeat them. A hint will appear as you're

killing them, "Hint: if you get hurt, collect 5 coins to heal 1 health".

Past the goombas, up on the hill you'll see two arrows pointing to the right. Run into the right

side of the screen to reach the next part of the level.

Second section
Run over to the sign behind the rock, and you'll learn that the best way to defeat bombs is to

press X while standing next to them. This will knock them away from Mario, disabling them

from causing him damage. Also notice that if you happen to knock a Bob-Omb, it will instantly

explode. Avoid hitting them if you're by a wall. A detonating Bob-Omb can set off chain

reactions, so watch out for groups of them!

Continue to the right until you reach a sign and two brown blocks in the ground. The sign will

tell you, "You can Stomp by pressing Z in the air. Try it to break open these blocks over

here." Walk over on top of the blocks, press up, then Z. Coins will pour out of

the blocks, but some of them might remain up on the cliff. You can hop back up to the sign if you

time your jump correctly as you come out of the water (sometimes you only perform a very low or

medium height jump).

Swim to the right, past the fish, and hop up on to the bridge and quickly take out the Bob-Omb

and Goomba. Walk to the right and kill the two Goombas with a quick use of X.

You'll reach a sign and a cliff with a Blue Coin on it. The sign depicts how to do a '''Triple

Jump''' Simply move in a direction, and jump three times, like you did with the double jump, and

the third jump will cause Mario to do a front flip.

Continue to the third section.

Third section
Kill the Goomba, collect the three coins, read the sign next to the blue box. The sign reveals

the Hover F.L.U.D.D. and how to use it. Jump on the blue box to reveal F.L.U.D.D., touch it to

equip it, then press C "to 'Hover' upwards. But be careful not to run out of water."

Continue to the right, ignore the Toad, hop up the flower/mushrooms while collecting four coins,

reach the top and hover to defeat the Goomba, then collect the coins and read the sign. "If you

run out of water: just jump into a lake, or collect a Water Bottle." Before you float the Paratroopa, you must jump on it to

destroy its wings.

Stand on the second mushroom flower, then jump and hover across the lake while collecting the 9

coins. Alternatively, you can wait for a bird to come by and ride it across, or use the Paratroopa's

shell to hop and hover up the side of the cliff. Walk into the side of the screen to reach the fourth section.

Fourth section
As you enter, a Goomba will rush at you. Take it out, then continue to the right and kill the

Bob-Omb. Reading the sign will display: "Hover Fludd also can be used to regain balance if you

slip off a platform high in the air. Also, if you run out of water, but aren't anywhere near a

river or pool, you can refill your water by collecting a 'Water Bottle' like the one on that

Mushroom over there."

Hop up the Mushrooms, collecting the Water Bottle, and ride the green platforms upwards until you

reach the first cloud. Each wheel of platforms has 8 coins around it.

From the first cloud, just be careful of the paratroopa and the teetering log platforms (just

hover to avoid falling). Utilize the F.L.U.D.D. to avoid falling off of the turning blocks, or

running into the Goomba at the end. Read the sign to reveal the camera zoom buttons (-

and +). If you zoom all the way out, you will have no trouble recognizing where to go

next.

Follow the two red arrows up (doing a higher jump will help, but is not necessary). Ignore the

Toad, and continue to the right. Hover over the obstacles and the paratrooper until you reach the

sign. "Oh! Mario! You can pause the game by pressing P. There, you can change settings,

view stuff you've collected, and switch FLUDD power-ups."

Hop across the spinning platforms, collect the final three coins, read the sign, "You can take

this Warp-Pipe to Princess Peaches Castle (Get on top of it and press down to enter)", and then

use the pipe by pressing down while standing on it.

Cut scene: Kamek and Bowser prepare for battle. Kamek: The Airship is loaded and ready for attack, Master Bowser... Bowser: Perfect... Let phase 1 of my Master Plan, the Invasion, begin!! Mario will run to Peaches Castle, and Peach will be waiting outside with several Toads. A Toad: I just finished setting up the banners inside the Castle... Peach: The cake for Mario is still sitting in the fridge? We'll need to heat it up for when Mario

gets here... A Toad: Mario is still a half-an-hour away; that should be enough time... Toads on the left: No! That's not it! We're here to celebrate the day Mario defeated Bowser... Another Toad: But Bowser has been defeated many times already, not just once. A 3rd Toad: Then it's the very first time Mario squashed Bowser's plan, not one of the many

insignificant times after... Mario runs up to Peach. Toads: Woah! Mario you surprised me! A Toad: Well, that's kind of ironic, since this was supposed to be a surprise party for Mario... Peach: Mario, you always get here so fast... we weren't expecting you for another 30 minutes! A Toad: What's that noise? The sound fades into silence. Camera zooms out, Bowser's airship is seen above Princess Peach's

Castle. Bowser: Let the invasion... BEGIN!! Goombas and golden Bullet Bills begin firing towards the castle. Kamek flies to the front and

fires magic at Mario. Bowser appears from the right and stomps up to Peach. Bowser: Your castle is mine, Princess! Bowser breathes fire at Peach, burning up the Toad she was holding in front of her. Bowser: Kamek, get rid of Mario! Kamek: ... Yes, sir. Kamek fires at Mario several times, hits him, then uses a spell that knocks him out (a big black

orb). The scene changes to the Shine Sprite Orb inside the top of Princess Peaches Castle. Bowser: Here it is... The Shine Sprite Orb! With this, I have control of this Castle! Kamek,

status report! Kamek: Master Bowser, the Toads have retreated, and Peach has been captured... Mario is lying

unconcious outside the Castle; he shouldn't wake up for a few hours. The Battle has been won. Bowser: Perfect, everything is going according to plan... Kamek, DESTROY IT NOW!!!!! Kamek fires a spell at the Shine Sprite Orb, shattering it into tons of tiny Shine Sprites that

scatter. The room dims. Kamek: The Shine Sprites will drift around aimlessly. Eventually they will be lost forever... Bowser: Muwahhahhaha! Then the plan should succeed. Kamek: What should we do with Mario? He's bound to interfere... Bowser: Forget about Mario, there's no way he can even get into the castle. The entire castle is

now locked up. Right now... I'll start the search for it... The screen turns to black. ???: ... Mario... Mario snores, the screen lights up, then dims, showing a Toad standing next to the unconscious

Mario. ???: ... Mario... The same thing happens. ???: Mario... Wake up! Mario hops up. The Toad is ecstatic. ???: Finally you're awake! I've been trying to wake you up for 4 hours now! My name is Eddie! Eddie: Right after Kamek got you, the battle went completely downhill. We were all outnumbered...

Almost every Toad ran away, abandoning the Castle. Also, the Shine Sprite Orb must've been

broken, since Mushroom Kingdom is now shrouded in darkness! Mario exclaims with disapproval as he observes the surroundings. He spots a Shine Sprite in the

grass to the right. Eddie: What is it Mario? Mario runs over and picks up the Shine Sprite. Eddie: Wow, a Shine Sprite! Wait... I thought they were all lost forever! Bowser destroyed them

all! Or did he? If this one was just sitting there, then that means Bowser didn't destroy them

all, but just scattered them! That means that there is probably some hope for saving the castle

and rescuing Princess Peach! Come on Mario, lets go put the Shine Sprite in the Castle! The two walk to the left, and control is given back to Mario.
