After you have beaten Mack and received the first Star Piece, you're ready to go through the Kero Sewers. Go to the Item Shop in Mushroom Kingdom and talk to the shopkeeper there. He will trade the Rare Frog Coin that Mallow has for the Cricket Pie, which will come in handy later. Exit the Mushroom Kingdom to get to the World Map, then push Right on your Control Pad to reach Kero Sewers.
Once you've entered the pipe entrance to Kero Sewers, walk down and right and enter the water. Swim to the right until you are in the shallow water, then jump out and enter the next pipe to reach a new room. Work your way down and left until you find the bottom-left pipe, then enter it to go to the next screen. Walk down and right and drop down to another Pipe, but DO NOT ENTER IT. Jump on to the ledge that in the upper-right corner and go down and right until you find another pipe. Enter the pipe to go to the next screen, then go left and climb the stairs. Work your way right to the Green Exclamation Switch and jump on it to drain the water. Drop back down to the lower level and enter the pipe to return to the previous screen. Go down and left until you reach another pipe, and enter it to access the upper level of the room you just came from. Walk up and right to the Save Block and save your game here. Go down and right and enter the pipe there to reach Belome. Defeat Belome to reach the Midas River.
Belome is a dog-like enemy that has a rather large tongue and about 536 Hit Points. Level 6 is recommended for your party. Have Mario attack with the Hammer and Mallow use his Thunderbolt Special Attack. Use Timed Hits to increase the amount of damage you inflict and try to lessen the damage you receive by using Timed Blocks. Next, talk to Frogfucius in Tadpole Pond.
To find Frogfucius, complete the Midas River area and take the exit in the lower-right corner to go to the World Map. Push Left on the Control Pad to move to the Tadpole Pond area and enter it. Go up and right to the round gray stone by the water. Stand on the stone and talk to the tadpoles that appear and press the B Button when they mention Mario's jumping ability. Frogfucius will float onto the scene and tell you to follow him. Jump across the tadpole bridge that forms and talk with Frogfucius to learn more about Mallow's past and the people of Rose Town.
If you traded the Rare Frog Coin with the person in the Mushroom Kingdom Items Shop for the Cricket Pie, talk to Frogfucius again and he will give Mallow his first weapon: the Froggie Stick. Don't forget to equip it! Go back across the bridge of tadpoles and head off to Rose Way.
Rose Way has a series of floating blocks that move from location to location, but you can't jump off a block when it's blue. Jump on the first block and ride it to the first place it stops, then hop onto the next floating block. Ride it to the second stop and jump on the next block. Ride that block to the first stop, jump on to the next floating block, then ride it to the fourth stop and jump down to the ground. Take the upper-right path to exit the screen and appear in an area with several floating Treasure Boxes. Follow the path down and right until you reappear on the area with the water
Jump on the floating block and ride it to the first stop, then hop on the next block. Ride the block to its second stop, then drop down to the ground. Go down and right to the next screen, then follow the path until you see Bowser and his Koopa Troop.
Walk to the right to start the automatic sequence. After Bowser stops talking to his troops, walk up to return to the World Map. Push Left on your Control Pad, then press the A Button to enter Rose Town. Next, go to the Inn and meet Gaz.
When you first arrive in Rose Town, the townspeople are getting stunned by arrows falling from the sky. Talk to everyone in town, then go to the Inn in the bottom-left corner.
When you enter the Rose Town Inn, you will enter an automatic sequence where you a kid named Gaz plays with a bunch of dolls that look like Mario, Bowser, and Princess Toadstool. When Gaz asks you to prove that you are the real Mario, press the B Button to demonstrate your legendary jumping skill. The automatic sequence will continue until it goes to a screen with Mario resting in bed. Use the Save Box in the room, then go downstairs and talk with Gaz and his mother. Exit the Inn and Rose Town to return to the World Map, then press Up on the Control Pad to access the Forest Maze.
Once you've entered the Forest Maze, walk diagonally up and left to go to the next screen. Enter the hollow tree stump and walk down and right to the spring. Jump on the spring to go to the next screen, then walk up and right to the next screen. Enter the top-left hollow tree stump and enter it, then go up and jump on the sleeping yellow caterpillar to wake him. He will open a hidden path and launch you back up to the surface. Take the new path up and left to the next screen and enter the hollow tree stump, then follow the path down and right to the spring at the end. Jump on the spring to return to the surface and walk up to find a Save Box. Save your game and walk up to enter an area that repeats if you don't plan your path carefully.
If you make a mistake in this maze, go down to return to the Save Box, then walk back up to the maze and start over. For the most part, you just need to chase Geno, the living doll, to find your way.
First, follow Geno and take the bottom-right path, then follow him through the top-right path. Follow Geno through the top-right path again, then take the bottom-right path. Follow Geno and take the top-right path on the next screen, then follow him up and left to enter an automatic sequence. At the end of it, you will fight Bowyer for the second Star Piece. After defeating Bowyer, walk up and left to the exit to the World Map. Next, return to the Rose Town Inn and learn about the third Star Piece.
