Course 5: Big Boo's Haunt

Star 1: Go on a Ghost Hunt

By Crazy Packers Fan

Mario and Luigi decide to go to the downstairs of the castle.

Luigi: What's this door at the end of this hall?

Mario: I don't know, let's find out.

Mario and Luigi walk down the hall, hearing laughs.

Luigi: Is that a ghost?

Mario: That's your imagination. Let's keep on going.

Luigi watches the ghost go towards the door and pass through it.

Luigi: It went through the door!

Mario: Your mind is playing tricks on you. Continue!

Mario and Luigi enter the door, finding themselves in the courtyard of the castle, seeing ghosts all around.

Luigi: I told you there was a ghost!

Mario: Yeah, you're right about that.

Luigi: Let's get out of here!

Mario: Are you a man or a chicken?

Luigi: I think I'm a chicken today... Let's go!

Mario: Come on, we can fight these things. Maybe we'll get some coins for doing so.

Luigi is too scared to fight. Mario starts hip dropping on ghosts in the fountain, gaining coins from doing so, then goes on to fight the other ghosts. Luigi decided then to hide next to the star statue in the fountain.

Luigi: Hey, Mario! What's this?

Mario: I'm busy right now!

Luigi: There's a message here... I can't make it out clearly... L is real 2041. What does that mean?

Mario: I'm fighting these ghosts right now! Last one!

As Mario hip drops the final ghost, it leaves behind a strange cage.

Mario: Look at this, Luigi!

Luigi: Are you sure there are no more ghosts?

Mario: I'm positive.

Luigi slowly starts out towards the cage.

Mario: I wonder what happens if I jump on it...

Mario jumps on the cage, and he and Luigi are warped into a place with a huge mansion.

Mario: Should we explore inside or outside?

A large orange spider crawls up to Luigi.

Luigi: Inside!

The two plumbers run inside the mansion. Inside, they hear cackles, while scary organ music plays. Around
them are six doors, with a seemingly inaccessible balcony above them.

Luigi: Where should we go?

Mario: Let's start in this first door on the right.

Inside the Mario Brothers find narrow walkways, with a Boo lurking.

Luigi: Let's go back!

Mario: We can easily fight this ghost. Watch!

Mario stands with his back to the ghost. Quickly, he turns around, jumping and hip dropping on the Boo. A
blue coin appears.

Boo: Ghosts don't die! Can you make it out of here... ALIVE?!

Luigi: I hope!

Mario: Don't worry, Luigi, this won't be hard.

Mario and Luigi navigate their way out of the room, through a door. Opening it, they find another ghost. Mario takes care of it the same way he defeated the first one, with a familiar voice coming afterwards.

Boo: Ghosts don't die! Can you make it out of here... ALIVE?!

Mario starts to cross a bridge. Luigi follows a little ways behind Mario. The bridge starts to collapse.

Mario: Hurry, Luigi!

Mario makes it across the bridge safely, but Luigi is unable to make it. He goes down with the bridge,
splashing into a pool of water.

Mario: Are you okay?

Luigi: I'm fine, but all wet.

Mario: Find your way back and I'll meet you later.

Luigi starts walking around, finding a door. He then makes his way down a water-filled hallway to another
door. Entering it, he finds an elevator. Riding it to the top, he then exits the building he is in, wondering why a big eyeball is staring at him.

Mario, meanwhile, has found his way into the next room. It contains another big eyeball, as well as another Boo. Not bothering with the eyeball, Mario hip drops on the Boo, prompting the all-too-familar phrase:

Boo: Ghosts don't die! Can you make it out of here... ALIVE?!

Luigi sees where the entrance to the mansion. However, scared of the lurking orange spider, he decides to run towards the back of the mansion.

Luigi: Mario can fight those ghosts all he wants. I'll find a hiding place and wait there for him.

Luigi sees another orange spider, so he quickly enters the first door he finds.

Luigi: Aaaahhhh!

Two Boos come towards Luigi, cackling and laughing at him. Luigi thinks about going out the door, then he
decides to make a courageous move. He jumps, hip dropping the same way Mario was. He ends up landing on both Boos at once, since they had been very close to each other. One of them has a very familar phrase:

Boo: Ghosts don't die! Can you make it out of here... ALIVE?!

The other Boo says something else, mentioning a Big Boo.

Luigi: I'm glad those guys are gone. I wonder what this Big Boo is, though.

Mario had been standing in the lobby of the mansion, about to enter another door, when Big Boo appears.

Mario: I wonder if you're any different from your smaller counterparts...

Mario turns his back to Big Boo, then back somersaults over the giant ghost and hip drops on him.

Big Boo: Oor!

Mario: You're a tough one, but I'm not scared.

Mario hip drops on the Big Boo a couple more times, and the ghost entirely disappears. All of a sudden, a
staircase rises up from the very ground Mario is standing on. It boosts Mario right up to a Star, which
appears as the stairs rise.

Mario: Alright! Another Star!

As Mario celebrates his Star, Luigi comes running through the front door.

Mario: Look at this Star I earned while you were away!

Luigi: The Star YOU earned?! Let me tell you what I did!

Mario: You couldn't have possibly done more than me...
