Boo’s Mansion

After a small cutscene, you can move again. In front of the villa do you find one more? Block with a Volt Mushroom. After that, go through the gate and you will be received by Butler. It is best to save your progress once and refill your HP and BP again. In the villa you first go up the stairs to the left. Find the second door and open the bright closet door. There appear some boos playing with a record. Remember who has it and hit it with the hammer. If you choose correctly, you can keep the record. With this in possession, you now open the first door on the upper floor and place it on the left on the turntable. Now press the A-button in the correct cycle so that the bar is OK. Do this until the boo comes danced. This is your chance to get to the Crate. In this you will find the weight.


New shoes for Mario

Go back down and jump on the bright sofa. If you hang on the ceiling chandelier, use the weight so that the visible door remains open. Walk through this and down the stairs (ignore the Crate, this is just a trap). Go through the doors until you get into a room with a large crate. Open these and the boos appear again.

This time they have the Super Boots. Again you have to remember which boo has the boots at the end. If you have seen through their trick, you have not only learned the Super Boots, but also a new move. If you press A again in the jump, you complete a ground pound. So you can break wooden slabs on the one hand, but also uncover trap doors. In front of the boo, for example, you will find a trapdoor with a Star Piece. Then break the wooden plates. At the bottom, activate the three blue switches so that a staircase appears up. In the item store you can sort your items again.


A new partner

Go up the stairs and destroy the boxes with a ground pound. In one you can find a super mushroom. If you are back in the foyer, find another door on the ground floor. In the room you will find a jar on the left. If you jump into these, you turn into an 8-bit Mario and the music changes accordingly. After the little gimmick, you destroy the trap door. You end up on a bookshelf. Fly with Parakarry to the right on the next shelf and get the portrait there.

Fly back and you see two wooden boxes on the left. With Parakarry you now have to fly so that you land on this one. Destroy both and you get another Star Pieces. Now blow up the wall with bomb. In front of the clock you will find a trapdoor with a Star Piece. Return to the foyer, in front of the sofa is another Star Pieces hidden under a floor plate. If you go up the stairs, you will find another trap door with a Star Piece in the second door (where you received the record). Search now in 1. OG on the right an empty picture frame. If you mention this, you can hang Buu’s portrait there. The picture now works like a teleporter. Jump in and you land in the 2nd. OG. Go through the door and you meet the master Lady Bow. She will join your team to defeat Tubba Blubba and free the Boos.

With Buu as your partner, you can make yourself invisible and thus hide from opponents or be stung by Spike Trap. Go back to the ground floor and hand over the letter to Franky with Parakarry. Once you have done all this, you can leave the villa and save once. In the bushes to the right of the villa you will find a wasn leaf, which you need for some Recipes. Follow the path to the right. Now that you have Buu as your partner, the ghosts will open the door for you. Just behind the gate you will find a floor plate with another Star Pieces.
