Your loving, Daddy

Me: Okee-dokey.

San Antonio is full many things to see. It has fields of sandy yellow beaches. There are rivers, streams, and lots trees where the birds sing. There are rivers and a coal mine, and docks where visitors to San Antonio arrive. San Antonio also has lots and lots of pathways. Who's that walking down the path? It's Nathaniel! Hello, Nathaniel.

Me: Hello! Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Castle of San Antonio.

Today on my rescue mission for Power Stars, you'll see me racing against Koopa the Quick. And you'll watch me go onto a strange island in the sky. But first, let's go to Starfire's castle.

Starfire: Dear Nathaniel: Please come to the castle. I've baked a cake for you. Yours truly, Starfire

Lakitu comes in as a cameraman.

A warp pipe appears, then suddenly…

Nathaniel: Yahoo! (jumps out of the pipe and lands) Aha!

Ciao! You've reached Starfire's castle via a warp pipe. Using the controller is a piece of cake. Press A to jump and B to attack. Press B to read signs, too. Use the Control Stick in the center of the controller to move Nathaniel around. Now, head for the castle.

Walking over to the trees. Jumps onto one of the trees.

Nathaniel: Whoa!

Climbs up and finds a 1-Up after jumping from the top of the tree. Walks to the entrance as Lakitu comes in.

Lakitu: Good afternoon. The Lakitu Bros., here, reporting live from just outside Starfire's castle. Nathaniel has just arrived on scene, and we'll be filming the action live as he enters the castle and pursues the missing Power Stars. As seasoned cameramen, we'll be shooting from the recommended angle, but you can change the camera angle by pressing the C buttons. If you can't adjust the view any further, we'll buzz. To take a look at the surroundings, stop and press C-up. Press A to resume play. Switch camera modes with the R button. Signs along the way will review these instructions. For now, reporting live, this has been the Lakitu Bros.

Nathaniel: OK! Thanks the camera information! What was that 'Missing Power Stars' part about? (Enters the castle. Evil music plays, then evil laughter is heard) Huh?

Rowdyruff Boys: Welcome. No one's home. Now scram-- and don't come back! Gwa ha ha!

Nathaniel: Wait a minute…(thinking): Missing Power Stars plus the Rowdyruff Boys equals…trouble! The Rowdyruff Boys must've stolen them! I have to get them back. (Goes into the only door with no number on it) Hmm. Let's start here. (enters Bob-omb Battlefield) Bob-omb Battlefield, huh? Let's start with…Big Bob-omb on the Summit. Let's-a go.

Wow! You're smack in the middle of the battlefield. You'll find the Power Stars that the Rowdyruff Boys stole in the painting worlds. First, talk to the Bob-omb Buddy. (Press B to talk.) He'll certainly help you out, and so will his comrades in other areas. To read signs,
