Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the start, peel off the [Shiny Hopslipper] and head east. Go up the steps to grab the [Shiny Hammer].
  2. 2
    Head west, defeat the Snifit, peel off the [Shiny Jump], and defeat the Shy Guy.
  3. 3
    In the background, paperize near the two entrances (Premium and normal) to create a Secret Door and access the fast line.
  4. 4
    Collect the [Shiny Shell] above the blue flower and the [Shiny Hopslipper] in the other line. Enter the fort.
  5. 5
    Inside, pick up the [Shiny Slaphammer] to the right. Grab the [Shiny Hammer] in the other line.
  6. 6
    Proceed to the front of the line and head left. Locate the Toad being harassed by Shy Guys.
  7. 7
    Defeat the two Shy Guys (120 HP each) with Shiny Hopslippers to receive a [Secret Door] sticker.
  8. 8
    Return to the premium line and grab the [Sewing Scissors] from atop a crate.
  9. 9
    Talk to the Shy Guy at the end of the premium line to board the mine cart.
  10. 10
    On the mine cart, jump to avoid spiky rails.
  11. 11
    A Shy Guy will taunt you with a scrap you can't reach. After riding once, paperize before the easternmost turn to place a sticker and stop the Shy Guy's cart.
  12. 12
    Grab the [Mine-Cart Rail] and prepare to use it. Paperize and place the rail on the track shortly after picking it up.
  13. 13
    Continue to the next section with menacing bob-ombs. Hop over them.
  14. 14
    Find the off-color piece of track (dark on top, light on bottom) right after the bombs. Paperize, pull it off, and paperize again to put it back on correctly.
  15. 15
    This allows you to reach the docking station. Deal with Shy Guys and other enemies (Shiny Bob-ombs, Ice Bros.).
  16. 16
    Collect the [Megaflash Chillhammer], [Flashy Fire Flower], and [Shiny Fire Flower]. Heal and save.
  17. 17
    In the northwesternmost corner, obtain the [Mine-Cart Exit].
  18. 18
    Return to the mine cart, paperize to place the exit at the end, and ride through. Jump at the very end to clear the exit.
  19. 19
    Ride the mine cart all the way through the exit to the boss.

Boss Fight: Bowser's Snow Statue

  • TL;DR: This boss is easy with fire attacks. Use stickers like Big Shiny Burnhammer, Oven, Radiator, or Burnhammer. If lacking fire, use strong stickers and healing items with Battle Spinner luck.
  • Stats / Weaknesses:
    • HP: 400
    • Attack: Starts at 10, decreases to 8, then 6.
    • Defense: 10
    • Weaknesses: Fire-elemental attacks (Big Shiny Burnhammer, Oven, Radiator, Burnhammer, Fire Flowers).
  • Phases: The boss has four phases: Huge Bowser, Big Bowser, Meh Bowser, and Creepy Snowman. A phase is lost roughly every 100 HP. Attack pattern does not change significantly with phase.
  • Strategy:
    • Prioritize fire stickers or strong stickers.
    • Use Burnhammers/Fire Flowers first, then Special Stickers if needed.
    • Avoid wasting powerful stickers on this boss.
    • With fire attacks, the boss should be defeated quickly.
    • If no fire stickers are available, rely on strong stickers, healing items, and Battle Spinner luck.
Tips
  • Remember to jump at the very end of the mine-cart ride to clear the exit.
  • The Mine-Cart Rail is a crucial sticker for progressing on the track.
  • Ensure you have fire-based stickers or powerful alternatives before facing Bowser's Snow Statue.
