Once the fifth Star Piece has been recaptured from Yaridovich, exit Seaside Town and enter Land's End on the World Map. Use the blue cannon to reach the upper-right area, then walk up and right to reach another blue cannon. Use the cannon to launch yourself into the hole in the upper-right platform, then jump out of the hole and work your way up and right through the next two screens.
If you fall off the upper ledge, use one of the blue cannons to get back up. Use the red spinning flowers to work your way up the platforms and take the exit above the top platform to enter the next screen. Jump across the bridge of floating do-nut blocks and go up to find a screen with a spring, a Save Block, and two whirlpools in the sand.
Take any one of the whirlpools to go to the next screen, then follow this rule: ALWAYS TAKE THE WHIRPOOL WITH THE ENEMY IN IT. This will lead you to Belome's Temple. If you end up at a cliff with a sign that says "Climb Here," go down one screen and hop in the whirpool with the enemy. You'll come back to this cliff later. Next, find and defeat Belome to go to Monstro Town.
Once you have reached Belome's Temple, walk up and take the stairs, then walk up and right until you reach a guy in the blue cloak. Agree to have him tell your fortune for 50 Coins and follow his directions. Your fortune will fall down on a pile of bricks. Get your fortune and use the bricks to jump up to the upper level of the room, then take the exit on the upper platform.
Enter the green pipe in the next room to find either a treasure chest or three enemies. (It depends on which fortune you received.) If you get the three enemies, defeat them to open the big gate to the right. Enter the gate to go to the next room. Work your way to the upper right corner and take the exit there. Talk to the guy in the blue cloak for some instructions, then jump up under the statue head to get your fortune. If it says, "MMM I'm so hungry! Wish I had something to eat!" then the block in the bottom right will take you to Belome. If it says, "Sorry, I'm not accepting any visitors past my bedtime," then it will take you to a treasure room. You can only enter the treasure room if you have the Temple Key (which you cannot get until you reach Monstro Town). After receiving the first fortune, jump on to the yellow block in the bottom-right part of the room and take the exit at the bottom. If you don't get the fortune you want, exit the room and re-enter it, then get another fortune. Enter the Green Pipe to get to Belome's Room. Defeat Belome and jump on the green Exclamation Switch to open the big gate, then enter the Green Pipe to go to Monstro Town. Next, talk to Monstermama to get help climbing the Cliff.
When you reach Monstro Town, enter the top-left door and talk to Monstermama. Go upstairs and talk to the pink star standing on the cabinet and it will do a dance of sorts. Go back downstairs and talk to Monstermama a few more times. She will summon the Sky Troopas to come and help you. After the Sky Troopas leave exit the house and take the spring in the top-left corner of town to return to the Land's End area. Work your way back to the cliff that says, "Climb here." The Sky Troopas will take positions on the side of the cliff so you can jump your way up to the top. This can be tricky! If you fall, just keep trying. You'll make it! Take the path at the top of the area to return to the World Map, then press Up to access Bean Valley.
Go up to the two Green Pipes and enter the pipe on the right, then go up and left and enter the next pipe. Follow the path up and left to reach a screen with a Save Block, several Green Pipes, and some Piranha Plants. Take the path up and left to reach Smilax, and defeat him to access the Green Pipe below him. (Grab the Seed he leaves behind, too!) Stand under the brick block in the next screen and jump to hit it with your head and make a vine appear. Climb the vine to reach a sky area with funny, colored vines. Climb the multi-colored vines until you reach a trampoline, then jump on it to reach Nimbus Land.
When you first enter the town area of Nimbus Land, you will watch an automatic sequence where Valentina introduces everyone to Dodo, the fake Prince Mallow. After it ends, talk to the people walking around town for clues, then enter Garro's House in the top-left corner of the town (next to the stairs). Talk to Garro and stand next to the statue that looks like the Mallow in your party. You will discover that Mallow is the real Prince Mallow, and Garro will ask if you are ready. Say yes and Garro will make you look like a statue and take you to the castle.
After you are put on a pedestal and Dodo walks out of the room, walk off the pedestal and go up and left to find a small room with a Save Block. Try to enter the door here to enter an automatic sequence where you're back on your pedestal and must avoid Dodo's attacks. Jump when Dodo tries to peck you -- if you get hit, he will run to Valentina and talk to her again. If Dodo catches you too many times, you will have to fight him. If you manage to avoid Dodo, you can pick up the Feather here. In any case, when the sequence is finished start exploring for the Castle Keys.
After your episode with Dodo, enter the door to go to the next room. Watch the short automatic sequence, then walk up through the door. Work your way up and right, then down and right to the exit. Go right and take the stairs, then enter the door there. Go up to the main section of the room, then go up and left and take the top door. Walk up through the door at the end of the room, then go down the stairs and exit to the right to find a room with a Save Block and some people. Talk to the guy in the far-left corner of the room and accept the key he offers. This is the first Castle Key, which will open the door guarded by the Heavy Troopa.
Return to the Heavy Troopa, defeat it and enter the door behind it. The next room has a large nest with a huge egg in it. Attack the egg to release Birdo, then defeat Birdo to receive the second Castle Key. Next, find and defeat Dodo and Valentina.
Once you have both Castle Keys, you need to find and defeat Dodo and Valentina. From where you defeated Birdo, use Castle Key 2 on the door and enter it. Work your way up and right until you reach the door another Heavy Troopa is blocking, and you will find Valentina and Dodo. Watch the automatic sequence, then follow them as they try to run away.
To do this, take the door at the top of the room, then follow the path up and right to the door. Continue up through two more doors and you will fall down to the Hot Springs area. Jump on the Trampoline to go up one level, then jump on the trampoline to the left to return to the town. Defeat Dodo and Valentina here to continue. Remember -- the character in the MIDDLE of your current party will automatically be chosen to fight Dodo alone, so make sure you have a fairly strong character there. Next, talk to the King and go to the Barrel Volcano to look for the sixth Star Piece.
Once you've defeated Dodo and Valentina, you can go to the Barrel Volcano. Talk to King Nimbus and Queen Nimbus to learn about the Star Piece in the Barrel Volcano. Exit the Nimbus Land Castle and climb down the vine, then drop down through the top right hole and talk to the two guards. Walk through the path the unblock to enter the Hot Springs, then exit on the far-right side to fall into the Barrel Volcano area.
Explore the Barrel Volcano and follow the path through the area. You will find two Save Blocks in the volcano, and the Hino Mart, where Hinopio can outfit your party with new armor, weapons and items. Take the lower door down out of the Hino Mart to reach the second Save Block, then hop your way across the do-nut bridge. Defeat the Czar Dragon and Zombone, then go up and right to see the Axem Rangers for the first time. Watch them steal your Star Piece, then chase them through the volcano until you reach the trampoline that takes you to their ship. Defeat the Axem Rangers here to collect the sixth Star Piece, then head back to Nimbus Land and get the Royal Bus from King Nimbus.
