- 17EPISODE 1: MEACHA-BOWSER APPEARS! (Pinna Park): Follow the path into Pinna Park and chase Shadow Mario to the fountain. A robotic Bowser, Mecha-Bowser, will appear. Get into the roller coaster and use the rockets from FLUDD to hit Mecha-Bowser's head. It takes 4 hits to defeat him.
Tips
- For blue coins found in bonus stages (#27-#30), prioritize collecting them as the game saves after each one. If you cannot obtain a blue coin, it is better to intentionally fail (suicide) to restart the bonus stage.
- Clouds in the Sand Bird bonus stage can be made larger by spraying them with FLUDD.
- Blue Coins (used to power the lighthouse and unlock new areas/episodes)
- Shine Sprite (from defeating Mecha-Bowser)
