Episode 1: Chain Chomplets Unchained
- Objective: Tame the baby chain chomps.
There are three fire chain-chomplets in town. Wait by the lake. When one of the chain chomplets comes near, ambush it with a spray from FLUDD. The fire will be put out, but not for long. Grab its tail, walk backwards, aim at the river and fire. If it goes in the river, you have defeated it. Don't get too excited — you still have two more to defeat. Once you annihilate all three, the Shine Sprite will appear.
Episode 2: Il Piantissimo's Crazy Climb
- Objective: Outrun Il Piantissimo.
Yet again Il Piantissimmo is back for even more. Beat him to the finish line (he should take around 30 seconds like at the beach). He will admit defeat and hand over his last Shine Sprite. Head for path on the left, wet a patch of ground with your nozzle, the slip slide down the path to reach the end quickly.
Episode 3: The Goopy Inferno
- Objective: Recover FLUDD and rescue the mayor.
Pianta Village is in burning goop! It will be hard because Shadow Mario takes away FLUDD. After you cross the bridge, turn right and head towards the white mushrooms and follow the yellow stems. Right beside them is a man who's looking at the gate. Talk to him and he'll give you hints. Jump in the ditch and ground pound through the gate. Keep an eye out for the annoying spiders and electro koopas which are crawling around. Eventually you reach another gate where you can come back to the surface. From there you can hop from clear patch to clear patch until you reach a structure where you can find FLUDD again.
An alternative route, which may be faster but only recommended if you're good at doing spin jumps, is this: Swim through the river and do a spin jump or backflip from the water. When you come out some of the water will drip on the goop will clear some of it. Repeat this a few times and you should have a small area of where there is no goop, so you should now be able to spin jump over to the structure with FLUDD.
Yet another alternative, recommended only for the truly expert spin jumpers, is to go to the left edge of the village where you will see an incredibly small spot where you can walk along the edge without getting burned. If you can cross there, you can climb the nearby tree and jump onto the leaf pointing to the village. If you do a good spin-jump, you can reach the area where you get FLUDD back.
Once you've gotten FLUDD, you should be able to spot the mayor on top of the golden mushroom. With a bit of practice you can backflip and hover to it, or jump and hover to the ledges on the central tree, climb up a few levels, then jump and hover to the mushroom. If all else fails, clean up the area a bit and hover to the golden mushroom from one of the two tall red mushrooms nearby. Now just spray the mayor clean and collect your shine.
P.S. in this episode only, explore the village to find episode exclusive blue coins.
Episode 4: Chain Chomp Takes a Bath
- Objective: Get the Chain Chomp into the spring.
The Chain-Chomps are back. Complete as in Episode 1, but keep on guard for three minor changes:
- There is only one chain-chomp
- The hot spring at the north end of the village is open, and is the only water source
- The one chomp is massive
In order to get him in the hot springs, you first have to spray him down until turns blue. If there is a barrel nearby then throw it at him to cool him down instantly. Once he is cool, grab the end of his tail and start pulling him toward the hot springs. Chances are you won't make it on the first try since he will start to heat up again, so you will have to stop, spray him down, and start pulling again. You can stop him from getting to far away from you if you ground pound the end of his tail.
Episode 5: Secret of the Village Underside
- Objective: Find the secret level and finish it.
For this episode, you need Yoshi. Find a Yoshi egg and hatch it with the correct fruit — there is a tree with a variety of different fruits on it right across from the hot spring that you had to get the chain chomp to go in. Head back to the bridge and jump on to of the mushroom underneath; it's marked by a column of coins. Hover from mushroom to mushroom until you reach one with a flat top and orange goop on top. Spray the goop with juice to clear it, then hop into the hole to start to obstacle course.
Talk to the Piantas to throw you onto the other platforms, the first one is more or less just for practice. You need to be facing in the direction you want to go when you talk to them, and watch out for overshoots. There is a 1-up mushroom above the first platform, and the Pianta will throw you to it if you aim will. There is a coin here too for more practice. The Pianta at the edge of the platform will toss you to the next one. Now there is a big Pianta and a little one. The big one will throw you farther but if you talk to him too close to the edge you'll go too far. The little one doesn't throw as hard but there's no backstop for him. Pick one and be tossed to the next platform. The Pianta here tosses you nearly strait up, so it should be easy to get to the ledge above. The Pianta there will toss you to the next ledge with a round backstop. The next and final toss is the most difficult; the Pianta is walking around so you have to wait for him to be in the right position before you talk to him. Stand on the left side of the platform, at the crack between the two halves, and talk to the Pianta as he passes. If you aim well you'll land on the platform with the Shine.
Episode 6: Piantas in Need
- Objective: Free 10 Piantas from fire goo.
10 Piantas are covered in goo! You must free 10 Piantas in under three minutes. Most of them are near the bridge, and the rest are on a path. When you're done, talk the the mayor for your reward.
P.S. all adult piantas you save give blue coins if you talk to them.
Episode 7: Shadow Mario Returns
- Objective: Catch Shadow Mario.
That Shadow Mario guy will stop at nothing to mess up Mario's life. Spray him, defeat him and bag his Shine.
Episode 8: Fluff Festival Coin Hunt
- Objective: Find the Red coins.
Collect the Red Coins.
- Somewhat under the beginning bridge
- on the tree next to the bridge
- in the tall grass on the left side of the village
- in the pile of boxes on the right side of the village
- under the fruit tree
- in the pool in the back of the village
- under the beehive near the pool
- on the very top of the tallest tree
Revisit Shine
Go up to the top of the tallest tree where the red coin is. Now aim FLUDD at the sun and shoot the water. You'll see a picture of a shine sprite appear and then and actual shine.
In the "secret under the village" shine sprite, get into the platform zone using a yoshi and collect the 8 red coins.
