==Heart Pillar 8==

Things don't get much easier than this. After speaking with Merlon, head to Flopside and flip to 3D outside Nolrem's house and proceed through the gate, down the path, and into Flopside Outskirts. Once there, jump over the pillars to the right (or run around them in 3D) to find the Heart Pillar. It will spawn a door at Flopside's tower - go to it for Chapter 8.

==Chapter 8-1: The Impending Darkness==
You made it to Castle Bleck, well you will see the castle, there is a door and we you see it, open it. Then you'll see a room with Koopatrols and Blue Magiblots, then when you avoided the enemies or killed them, get to a door and open it. Then you'll find a staircase with Goombas and Boomerang Bros, then a Koopa Troopa and more Boomerang Bros, a door. Then you'll find more Koopatrols, Goombas, Koopa Troopas and a Paratroopa, then a room with two Mr Is and a Red I, two doors, one to somewhere, and the other to Blue Magiblots and Soopa Strikers, a staircase with Fire bros, then you'll find O'Chunks

It seems Bowser has a personal vengeance against O'Chunks, so he's going to battle him one-on-one. But O'Chunks has a trick up his sleeve - he's now Super Sized. Play this one out like before. Use Thoreau to toss O'Chunks, which stuns him, then either leap atop his head, or use Bowser's flame breath. Step aside afterward to avoid his jump attacks, then repeat the process until he's defeated.

After the battle, O'Chunks and Bowser will support the failing building, allowing the bros and Peach to escape. Now hit the Save Block to complete the level.

Note: You cannot use Bowser anymore until the last level.

==Chapter 8-2: The Crash==

At the start of the level, the heroes comment on the frequent tremors running through the castle and wonder why Count Bleck's plan involves destroying himself in the process. The first stretch of the level is a hallway filled with Zoing-Oings, a Cursya, Blastboxers and Red Is.


"Merlon" telling Mario to hit the Switch Block
In the next room, the heroes find Merlon, who says that the Light Prognosticus says to hit the "totally unsuspicious block" next to him. They have no other option, as the door in the room is locked. However, it opens a trapdoor underneath them and they fall into a trap, while Merlon reveals himself to be Mimi. In the trap, Mario, Luigi and Peach must use Boomer to blow up part of the wall so Mario Flip and go through the hole into another room. The room has a pipe leading up, five slots on the ceiling, with the pipe connected to one, and a door on either side of the room. The door on the right has spikes and Spiky Parabuzzies that can be traversed with Carrie. On the other side of the spikes is a red Switch Block. The left door is filled with Firebars and Magiblots, which another red switch at the end. These switches move the pipe to the left or right. They must position the pipe to the slot on the far left, as all the other slots lead to the same empty room. The slot on the left, however, leads to a room above the one with the trapdoor. The room has three chests, two containing items and one containing a Castle Bleck Key. They can fall back into the room with the locked door and continue on.

The next room is a staircase with Gloombas, Hammer Bros., red Koopa Troopas and Fire Bros.. Midway up the stairs, there is a door, leading to an area with a few different Cursyas. Mario can flip to find a hidden path leading to an Ultra Shroom Shake. Through the door at the top is another one of Mimi's traps. It is a large room with Mushrooms hanging from the ceiling. Collecting one does restore HP, but opens a trapdoor. Each trapdoor leads to a room with enemies. One has different types of Cherbils, one has Shlorps and one has a Chromeba. When the player falls into a trapdoor, the enemies in the room must be defeated to make a pipe appear, leading back up. One of these enemies has the key to a door in the room.


"Merlee" questions Mario

Peach tries to save Mimi.
Through that door, the heroes find Merlee. She asks them what their three greatest fears are. Each question has three options, a weak enemy, a strong enemy, and an item. After she is done asking, she tells them to enter the door on the right. The next three rooms have what the player told Merlee they feared. The last room will have multiple objects, unless Francis was chosen. After getting through the rooms, they find a furious Merlee waiting. She reveals herself to be Mimi.

Mimi and Peach get into fight. Mimi makes fun of the fact that Peach always has to be rescued by Mario and Luigi. Peach then orders that the Mario Bros. stay back while she fights Mimi alone. Mimi then shifts into her true form and attacks. Peach wins, but then they all feel another tremor and hurry into the next room. Peach stays back and tries to convince Mimi to find somewhere safe, but a powerful tremor causes the floor to fall out under Mimi. Peach leaps forward to save her, but an aftershock causes them both to fall. In the next room, Mario and Luigi hear the princess scream and want to go back to get her, but the door won't budge and Tippi says they must press on

Enemies

*Firebars
*Gloombas
*Hammer Bros
*Koopa Troopas
*Fire Bros
*Cherbils
*Shlorps

==Boss==

*Francis
**HP:40
**Atk:1
**Reward:4000
**Difficulty:**
**Attacks
***Warp
***Minion Summon
***Camera Flash

Since you don't have Bowser, Luigi and Carrie are the key to this battle.
After you finish off Francis, He will warp back to Fort Francis.
Then you can go through the next door.


At the end of your treasure collection, Mimi will once again appear, and this time, she'll challenge Peach to a duel.

===Boss===

*Mimi
**HP:??
**Atk:4
**Reward:8000
**Difficulty:***
**Attacks:
***Rubee Shot
***Rubee Throw
***Rubee Wave
***Rubee Chainsaw

This battle is strictly between Peach and Mimi, so switching characters is not allowed.

Mimi attacks very much like before, except she has a new chainsaw attack to mix things up. Like before, use Peach's umbrella as a shield during each of Mimi's attacks to avoid damage. Once there's an opening, use Thoreau to grab one of the Rubees, then chuck it at Mimi's head - or even better, simply leap into Mimi's head while holding it; this at least ensures you won't miss.

After a couple of hits, Mimi will become stunned - quickly jump on her head to knock off a leg. Once all of her legs are removed, the battle will be over. Hit the Star Block and you're done.

==Chapter 8-3: Countdown to Destruction==

Proceed through the castle's corridors until the third hallway. Here, you'll discover that the door at the end warps you back to the door you entered from, resulting in an infinite loop. To get around this dilemma, use Luigi's super-jump near the room's entrance to land on a walkway above. Flip to 3D to dash around the force-field emitting creatures, then drop off the platform to the door below.

At the end of this hall is a locked door. To get the key, leap to the 5th platform, and flip to 3D at the vertical window that doesn't shimmer like the rest. Inside, run toward the camera (or left, if in 2D) to find a chest containing a Castle Bleck Key. Head back through the window to the locked door at the end of the room.

At the top of the staircase is a locked door. Since that route is a no-go, flip to 3D at the base of the stairs, then run down the hallway that appears to a door at the end.

Throughout the next three rooms, you'll come across three floating blocks. One of them is always a trigger to make a door appear, but you'll have to use Luigi's super-jump to bash it. While you can use Tippi's pointing power to figure out which one is the switch, as outlined below.

    * 1st Room: Right block
    * 2nd Room: Middle Block
    * 3rd Room: Right Block Hitting the block will push the existing door out of the way, revealing the true way.
    * 4th Room: This room's a bit different. The three blocks have to be hit in a particular order to hit the door; flipping to 3D reveals a number on each showing the sequence, which is: Middle, Right, Left.

Now backtrack to the staircase and unlock the door at the top. 

Like earlier in the castle, the door at the end will warp you back to the door you entered through if you do not take the proper path. Flipping to 3D will reveal an arrow which shows the proper route.

Use Luigi's super-jump first thing to climb over the first block, then run below the second, but leap onto it once on the other side. From there, leap and run over the top-right block, and drop off to the right to the door.

Like with the previous Window Room, look for a non-shimmering window you can leap through in 3D, about halfway through (on the 8th platform). Inside, you'll find hundreds of Dimentio clones roaming about. While they won't harm you directly, they can make it very difficult to navigate to the chest on the far end of the room. To make things easier, flip to 2D, then leap across them to the chest on the right. Use Cudge to clear the ones surrounding the chest out of the way, then open it to find a Castle Bleck key.

Now exit the area through the window you entered from, and open the locked door to the right (don't forget to use the Save Block just past the door). 

After meeting with Dimentio, you'll have to chase him down by following him through each of the eight chapters. Inside each level, you'll find a tear in the background -- use Fleep's power on the tear to reveal a switch. Smack it be warped to the next chapter. Get started using the tear in this room to be teleported to chapter 1-1.
*Enemies

*Skellobits
*Cursyas
*Hogarithms
*Sobarribads
*Dimentio (boss)
*Longadiles
*Boomerang Bros
*Soopa Strikers
*Magiblots
*Chain Chomps
*

==Chapter 1-1: The Adventure Unfolds==

Run to the end of the level and use Fleep once more on another tear.

==Chapter 2-3: Breaking the Bank==

Use Fleep's flipping power on the tear directly in front of the vault door. To get there, flip to 3D in the top-left corner (past the generator room) and run toward the camera. Hit the block and climb the ladder that emerges. Then use Slim to get past the lasers.

==Chapter 3-2: Bloops Ahoy==

Swim left, to the beginning of the level to find another tear.

==Chapter 4-2: A Paper Emergency==

Run to the right, flipping to 3D to cross the chasm, and look for the tear at the end of the path.

==Chapter 5-2: Pixls, Tablets and Crag==

Remember the Tablet located down below that you to burn with Bowser's fiery breath? That's where the tear is, sort of. Flip to 3D at the first rock, head down the exposed path, then look for it on the left.

==Chapter 6-1: Sammer Guy Showdown/ The World of Nothing==

Run to the right for about a minute and look for the Tear.

==Chapter 7-2: The Sealed Doors Three==

The Tear can be found in front of the door at the very top.

==Chapter 8-3: Countdown to Destruction (Continued)==

After finding the final Tear, you'll arrive back in the castle, where Dimentio will give you the chance to join him and take down the count. Deny his request several times to cause Luigi to challenge to a duel.

===Boss===

*Dimentio
**HP:80
**Atk:4
**Reward:8000 points
**Difficulty:****
**Attacks:
***Magic Diamond
***Boom Box
***Duo Illusion
***Trio Illusion

As with most bosses, leaping on Dimentio's head is the key to victory. But make sure to attack from below with Luigi's spring jump, then try to hit him again on your way back down.

You don't have to use your super jump, as long as he is close enough to the ground when you attack.

==Chapter 8-4: Tippi and Count Bleck==

Head through the door at the end of the first hallway. Inside, you'll hit a dead end. Use Tippi's pointing powers to discover a door you can continue through.

Cross this room via the moving platforms with carefully timed jumps. However, along the way, you'll come across a wall twice that blocks further progress - flip to 3D here to and leap to the bordering platforms to get around. Also, you'll occasionally have to wait a few moments for a platform to lower enough for Mario to reach it, so be patient. Enter the door on the far side. Jump across the first four sets of platforms and land on the stationary platform. Flip to 3D to find a pipe on the left.

After taking the pipe, flip to 3D, then use Dottie to shrink in size and enter a small tunnel (visible through the break in the white lines) along the wall. Flip to 2D to traverse through the tunnel to a chest containing the Castle Bleck Key. Exit back through the pipe and cross the remainder of the room to unlock the door.

There are a ton of Mega Muths in this corridor, each with 200hp. While you'll gain a lot of experience points for tackling them, it's advised your flip to 3D to easily get past them all, then enter the door at the end. If you do wish to battle them, we suggest using Cudge continually to prevent the opponent from attacking.

To pass this section, you'll have to frequently flip between both dimensions to locate all of the hidden doorways and entrances.

Section 1:
Flip to 3D as soon as you enter to and enter the second door on the right that leads into a parallel hall. Continue going right (while in 3D) through three more halls. Once you reach the one with all the Cursya (the second from the last hall), proceed down it in 2D and enter the door at the end.

Section 2:
Now things really get confusing. Head to the end of the first hall, then flip to 3D and enter the path on the left. Subsequently, walk toward the camera a few feet then continue through another doorway on the left. Like before, walk toward the camera a few more feet to enter another doorway on the left. Finally, flip to 2D and enter the door on the right.

Section 3:
Flip to 3D and enter the second open doorway on the right (near the back of the room). Now run toward the camera and enter the next doorway on the right. Run toward the camera and go through the second opening on the right. Run through this short room into the next hall, then look for the door at the far end.

Use the Save Block enter the final door to face Count Bleck. 
===Enemies===
*Cursyas
*Mega Muths
*Coptas
*Koopatrols
*Parabuzzies
*Spiky Parabuzzies
*Poison Pokeys
*Magiblots
*Count Bleck (Boss)
*Super Dimentio ( Final Boss)

===Boss===

*Count Bleck
**HP:150
**Atk:3
**Max Atk:8
**Reward:8000 points
**Difficulty:****
**Attacks:
***Void Orb
***Fly Tackle
***Slowdown
***Vortex Blast

Bleck is currently protected by a force-field, so don't be put-off by your attack's ineffectiveness. Just make sure to evade his by keeping your distance. His most disruptive attack, the Vortex Blast, will suck you in if nearby, and if caught, it will hurt.

Soon enough, Luigi, Bowser, and the Princess will rejoin your squad, and the Pure Hearts they bring with them will destroy Count Bleck's shield. With him now vulnerable, climb the platforms and leap onto his head. Keep Slim by your side and turn thin to avoid Count Bleck's attacks.

Bowser's great for inflicting a lot of damage at once, but his agility (or lack thereof) leaves something to be desired. As such, Peach is generally the safest character to use as you can glide around with her umbrella, making it easier to target the Count's head. After enough attacks, the Count will go down.

===Final Boss===

*Super Dimentio
**HP:200
**Atk:3
**Max Atk:6
**Def:4 on the body, 0 on the head
**Reward:9990 points
**Difficulty:*****
**Attacks:
***The People's Elbow
***Gyro Ball
***Super Spring Jump
***Dash
***Rapid Fire balls
***fire balls
After the Count's defeat, Dimentio will use a brain-washed Luigi to do his evil bidding. Again, the head is the weak-point, but climbing up to it can be a challenge. Like before, climb the floating blocks to the head, then jump on his noggin -- however, it's invincible at first, but the Count will chime in shortly to give you a hand.

Peach is the safer bet, thanks to her umbrella, but Bowser's a brute, and can bring victory much faster. Bowser can also unleash his flame attack on Mr. L's face, from a nearby block, which saves you the trouble of jumping.

Keep Slim equipped at all times to turn paper-thin, thereby avoiding Dimentio's attacks. When you see the crosshair appear around you, get moving, as a whole bunch of Gyro Balls are on their way. Or even worse, if the crosshair has a large "!" in it, that means he's about to leap at you, so get out of the way!

TIP:If you find yourself cornered, flip to 3D to step around Dimentio to the other side.

Note: After Tippi leaves the group at the end of the game, you can buy Tiptron (an almost exact copy of Tippi) for 999 coins from Francis, the boss of chapter 3.And then you can go to the two epic "pits of 100 trials" in flipside or flopside.

==Chapter 8-5: The Escape==

In this level, the player must avoid Goombas, Choppas and a Cursya. Then they'll find a staircase with Koopa Troopas and Fire Bros., followed by Fuzzies, Putrid Piranhas, and a Dry Bones, then a door. The next room has several Boos and a Frost Piranha, followed by another door and a lot of Bullet Bills, a Crazee Dayzee and an Amazy Dayzee, and finally they'll find O'Chunks, Mimi, and Francis.

===Enemies===
*Goombas
*Choppas
*Cursya
*Koopa Troopas
