Level 7: Koopa Brother’s Fortress
Cackletta turns the water into lava.
Cackletta: This should stop that Koopa.
Cackletta disappears and Larry reappears.
Larry: Great, more lava.
Larry jumps over the lava, and enters the fortress. Larry walks along the path and runs into a Koopa, jumps on him, defeats him, grabs the key, and unlocks the door in front of him. Larry notices a cracked wall and a Bob-omb, grabs the Bob-omb, throws it at the wall, and destroys it. Larry enters a long room, and Bullet Bills are shot at him. Larry runs down the path, avoiding the Bullet Bills, and at the end, sneaks past the Blaster. Larry enters a large elevator, where Red Ninjakoopa appears.
Red: Welcome to the Battle Elevator. You will face bosses in this elevator. The more you beat, the higher the elevator goes. If you can beat all nine bosses without dying, you will leave the fortress. Good luck.
Challenge: Battle Elevator
Mini Boss: Hammer Brother
Hammer Brother appears and throws a hammer. Larry dodges it and jumps on his head three times. Hammer Brother disappears, and the elevator rises.

Larry: All right, I’m more than halfway done. Four more to go.
Mini Boss: Black Ninjakoopa
Black appears, and instead of attacking, moves around too fast for Larry to attack.
Larry: Try this on for size! PIRANHA CHOMP!
Piranha Plants come out of Larry’s arms and eat Black. He, of course, disappears, and the elevator, of course, rises.
Mini Boss: Sledge Brother
Sledge uses his sledge hammers to pound the ground. Larry jumps over the earthquakes and ground pounds on him. He disappears, and the elevator rises.
Mini Boss: Sumo Brother
Sumo appears, pounding the ground many times. Larry tries to attack him, but nothing works. Shy Ranger calls Larry.
Shy Ranger: Something wrong?
Larry: Yeah, how do I defeat Sumo Brother?
Shy Ranger: Well, Sumo Brothers are almost invincible, but even though they can cause massive earthquakes, somehow, there feet are very weak.
Sumo jumps, but before he lands, Larry claws his feet. Sumo falls over and Larry claws his feet some more. Sumo then disappears and the elevator rises.
Mini Boss: Red Ninjakoopa
Red Ninjakoopa: Be happy you made it this far, because this is as far as you’ll go.
Red becomes two and they both start punching Larry. Larry jumps in the air and ground pounds, attacking both Ninjas, and the fake one disappears. Larry starts punching the real Red. Red disappears and reappears, throwing stars at Larry. Larry claws the stars back at Red, Red gets hurt, and Larry starts punching him.
Red Ninjakoopa: I’M NOT FINISHED YET!
Red transforms into a flying Hammer Brother, but instead of hammers, it has fireballs and sledge hammers. He disappears, the elevator goes to the top, reaching the top of the large tower, and Red reappears.
Red: Try to beat me now.
Boss: Amazing, Flying Brother
Amazing swoops down at Larry. Larry hops on top of him and punches his head. Amazing is about to fall to the bottom, but Larry jumps off of him and lands on the top of the tower. Amazing falls down below, but comes back up and starts throwing fireballs. Larry claws the fireballs back and hurts Amazing, who falls to the bottom but comes back up. Amazing starts swooping down and throwing fireballs. Larry jumps on top of him and attacks his head, and he falls down and comes back up again.
Amazing: Okay, TIME TO END THIS!
Amazing starts throwing sledge hammers, which hit the ground and starts destroying the tower. After dodging many sledges, Larry is left on a small platform. Larry has an idea. When Amazing throws a sledge hammer, Larry grabs it and throws it at Amazing. Amazing gets knocked out, and falls.
Larry: HURRAY!
A warp pipe appears on the small platform, and Larry hops into it.
Level 8: Grass Ghost House
Larry pops out of the warp pipe, and appears in a creepy forest in front of a haunted house. Larry enters the house and stands in front of a red locked door and a sign.
Larry: “In case of emergency, find the key at the top of the house and open the boss’ door.”
Larry notices a path to the right and takes it. Larry enters a room with a straight path. Larry takes the path and, a quarter of the way through, a Big Boo starts chasing him. Larry barely escapes the room, and runs into the Big Boo again.
Big Boo: You escaped from me first, but can you escape from me to the top of the house? If you can get to the top of the house and grab the key before I grab you, I will take you back to the front. You get a ten second head start. Ready… GO!
Chase: Big Boo’s Chase
Larry starts running and jumping over the bottomless pits, but Big Boo starts chasing him. In the next room, the room looks the same, but has enemies to avoid. Larry avoids the Boos and continues into the next room. Big Boo starts charging at Larry, but Larry avoids him. In the next room, there are Boos and Big Boo continues to charge at Larry. Larry has a tough time avoiding everything, but he does it. The final room is a giant spiral tower. Larry climbs up the tower avoiding the Boos and Big Boo’s charge attacks. While running, the tower collapses behind Larry. Once Larry makes it to the top, Big Boo appears.
Big Boo: Good job, but there’s ONE LAST CHALLENGE!
Mini Boss: Big Boo
Big Boo tries to body slam Larry, but Larry avoids him and punches him. Big Boo splits into two smaller Big Boos. The two charge at Larry, but Larry avoids both.
Larry: PIRANHA CHOMP!
Larry's hands become Piranha Plants, and they start chomping on the two Big Boos. The two Big Boos become four small Boos. An M Pad appears and Larry stands on it.
Larry: PIRANHA GROVE!
Piranha Plants appear and eat the four Boos. A key, jars, and a warp pipe appears. Larry grabs the key.
“You got the Big Key.”
Larry uses the jars to refill his magic, goes down the warp pipe, and appears in front of the red door. Larry opens the door, and stands face-to-face with a large Red Bones (from Paper Mario 2).
Mini Boss: Giant Red Bones
Red Bones starts throwing red bones at Larry. Larry jumps out of the way, and punches Red Bones’s head. Red Bones collapses, and Larry starts destroying the bones. Giant Red Bones gets smaller and starts throwing flaming, red bones. Larry dodges them, punches the head, and starts destroying the bones again. Giant Red Bones becomes a regular Red Bones. Red Bones summons four Dry Bones, and starts running around the area.
Larry: PIRANHA CHOMP!
Larry’s arms become Piranha Plants, and they eat Red Bones and the four Dry Bones. A warp pipe appears. Larry enters it and appears back in the creepy forest. Larry takes the new path, and stands in front of a giant, green castle.
Level 9: Grass Castle
Larry notices the locked front door.
Larry: Now how do I… OH! THAT’S RIGHT!
Larry opens the door with the Grass Key he got from the Grasston Mayor. Larry enters the castle.
Larry: I’ll keep this key, just in case.
Larry runs into a fork. Larry takes the left path. Larry enters a room with a straight path with a Boss Door at the end.
Larry: Ha, too easy.
Larry hits a pressure sensor, and Aeros start falling. They hit Larry, and he falls back into the previous room.
Larry: Okay, maybe the right room.
Larry enters the right room, which has a path over a bed of spikes. Larry crosses the path but after he does so the path behind him is destroyed.
Larry: Well, I can’t go back.
Larry enters a room with a Big Treasure Chest. Larry tries using his Grass Key, which opens the chest.
“You got the Umbrella. This can block anything from hitting you on the head from above.”
Larry: Now, how do I get back?
A door in front of him opens. Larry enters the room. In this room, there are spikes on the ground, and some spikes shoot up in the air. Larry carefully walks on the path, jumping, ducking, and avoiding the spikes. In the next room, Larry runs on the path very fast, because the path behind him was collapsing. In the next room, Bowser appears… wait, Bowser has wheels?
Larry: Dad? Is that you?
Bowser???: Dad? Who are you…? I mean yes, it is me, and I’m very disappointed in you.
Larry: That’s not your voice… YOU’RE A FAKE!
Mini Boss: Bowser???
Bowser comes and tries to claw Larry. When Larry gets hit, he notices it’s wood.
Larry: PIRANHA CHOMP!
Larry’s Piranha Plant arms start chomping on the wooden Bowser. When it is destroyed, the Koopa Brothers appear, then run. The door in front of Larry opens.
Larry: That was weird.
Larry enters the room. Larry appears in a tall tower. Larry climbs the stairs, avoiding the Koopa Brothers' stars, claws, and kicks. At the top, Larry climbs a ladder, runs into a warp pipe, enters it, and appears at the fork in the beginning. Larry takes the left fork again, opens his umbrella, gets to the Boss Door with no harm, uses the Grass Key to open it, and enters Bowyer’s room.
Bowyer: I’ve been waiting for you.
Boss: Bowyer
Bowyer summons a force field and shoots Aeros. Larry takes out his umbrella, spins it, sends the Aeros at the force fields, and the force field is destroyed. Larry starts punching Bowyer. Bowyer turns into two, and both run around the room.
Larry: PIRANHA CHOMP!
The Piranha Plants destroy the fake Bowyer and hurt the real one. Larry starts punching Bowyer. Bowyer hops on some moving blocks and shoots Aeros. Larry uses his umbrella, and hits the Aeros back at Bowyer. After Larry punches Bowyer, Bowyer becomes four, and a switch appears. Larry hits the switch, an M Pad appears, and Larry stands on the M Pad.
Larry: PIRANHA GROVE!
The Piranha Plants attack and destroy the fake Bowyer and the real Bowyer falls down.
Boywer: AHHH! I’M DEFEATED! Even if you do defeat me, the worlds will get harder. You WILL lose, and the Evil Three will rule. HA HA HA HA!
Larry: We’ll see about that!
Larry enters the warp pipe that appears and enters a room with Morton and a green stone. Larry grabs the stone.
“You got the Grass Stone. That makes two. Your next destination is the Fire World.”
Morton: I’ll take care of that world.
Larry: Good, because I’m tired. WARP STONE!
Larry uses the stone, enters the stone, and Morton disappears.
The scene changes to Evil Castle.
Cackletta: Nice job, Smithy, cutting off Ludwig‘s communicator. Now, Ludwig can’t help them. By the way, we must make sure that the Koopas don’t rescue Ludwig. He knows all the secrets of this game.
A Dark Koopatrol appears.
Dark Koopatrol: Cackletta, Larry has just rescued Morton.
Cackletta: Not to worry. Grodus is working on it as we speak.
Dark Koopatrol: You mean as I’m speaking right now?
Cackletta: Yes, that is what it means.
The scene changes to another room with Grodus and two shadows.
Grodus: So will you help us?
Shadow 1: What’s in it for us?
Grodus: Control of a portion of the Koopa World.
Shadow 2: Deal! So where do you need us?
Grodus: You must stop Morton from saving Wendy in the Fire World.
Meanwhile, in Bowser and Clawdia’s prison cell, Bowser Junior falls unconscious.
