Bulbfish Island Walkthrough

#	Step by Step Objectives
1	Set sail to Bulbfish Island, and use the Big Cannon on the right side of Shipshape Island to launch yourselves directly to the island.
2	Upon landing at Bulbfish Island, head north to trigger a cutscene featuring an exchange between Chilliam and Burnadette, the newlywed couple.
3	After speaking with the newlyweds, continue north past the Shops to watch another cutscene. The residents are complaining about the mysterious disappearance of the Bulbfish-eggs.
4	Enter the Chief's House where you’ll meet Leyden and his Assistant. They'll ask for your help in recovering the missing Bulbfish-eggs. In return, they'll grant you access to the Lighthouse.
5	Talk to the Gossiping Concordians gathered just outside of the Chief's House. You'll learn that there is a guarded Underground area on the island's eastern side.
6	Make your way to the western part of the island and look for a wall button. Press X to hit the button, activating the streetlights across the island. This will also wake up the Guard stationed at the Underground entrance.
7	Approach the Guard. He’ll require you to pass his quiz in order to allow entry in the Underground.
8	You could speak to the island residents to find answers to the first two questions. However, for the final question, you’ll need to retrieve the Guard's Notebook. Look for it near the unlit streetlight next to the Chief's House.
9	Return to the Guard and take his quiz. To save you some time, we've already listed the correct answers below: Question #1: Who is the most suspected? Answer #1: Strange couple. Question #2: What is NOT a major rule of Bulbfish Island? Answer #2: Be single-minded and focused. For the final question, simply hand over the Guard’s Notebook. With all answers correct, the Guard will grant you passage to the Underground.
10	Enter the Underground and head north, then continue north again to reach the Jail Cells. Be prepared for battles along the way, as the Underground will be teeming with enemies like Capnap Rs and Foopflies.
11	Jump up the Green Pipe Block between the Jail Cells to create a Green Pipe connecting back to the Underground Entrance. This shortcut will come in handy later in the story.
12	From the Jail Cells, head northeast, then turn south. Jump onto the wooden crate to reach the upper level.
13	Head north and jump onto the moving yellow platform. Use UFO Spin to cross to the next moving platform and make your way to the other side.
14	Once across, jump down and enter the Assistant's Office to the north.
15	Inside the Assistant's Office, interact with the Note on the table and the Daily Journal above the wooden crates.
16	Enter the doorway located south of the Assistant's Office and turn left to move on to the next area. Continue heading south, then turn left again to exit the Underground.
17	After a lengthy cutscene, leave your room to trigger another cutscene where Chilliam and Burnadette are arrested for the missing Bulbfish-eggs.
18	Head back to the Underground and use the Green Pipe to fast-travel to the Jail Cells. Speak to the newlyweds in the cell to the left of the Green Pipe. You'll need to get the Key to access the locked gates in the Underground.
19	Exit the Underground and talk to the Guard by the bridge. He’ll only hand over his Key if you gather information from his younger brother.
20	To proceed, return to the wall button on the western side of the island. Press X to hit the button and turn off the streetlights.
21	With the lights off, speak to the Secret Snatcher hiding behind the streetlight just north of the wall button. Offer him the Incident Report in exchange for information, and ask him about the guard’s little brother. He will direct you to the Anglerfish Restaurant on this side of the island.
22	Enter the Anglerfish Restaurant and look for the Guard’s younger brother, a Teal Concordian wearing a green shirt. Use the UFO Spin to cross the gap above and reach him.
23	The younger brother will ask you a question before providing the information. When he asks who is the only person on the island who wears spectacles, select Leyden’s Assistant.
24	After answering correctly, report back to the Guard by the bridge. Following a cutscene, you will have the Key to the Underground.
25	Enter the Underground once again and open the locked gate next to the Assistant's Office.
26	Proceed to the next area, where you'll have to solve a color puzzle. The brothers must step on square platforms in the correct numerical order, matching their colors—Red for Mario and Green for Luigi.
27	Start by moving to the Green 1 platform and pressing L for Luigi to step on it. Next, move Mario to Red 2 and 3 to continue the sequence. When Luigi steps on Green 4, quickly have Mario rush to Red 5. As Luigi runs toward Green 6, move Mario to Red 7. Wait for Luigi to step on Green 8 before proceeding to Red 9. Luigi will complete the puzzle by stepping on Green 10, lowering the gate.
28	Head into the room to the north to trigger a cutscene, after which you’ll face a battle with Zokkarang Troopers. Zokkarang Trooper's boomerang attacks lowers your defense once it hits you, so time your jumps accordingly to avoid it.
29	After the battle, chase Leyden’s Assistant to the Lighthouse! Head to the now-accessible mezzanine floor in the Chief’s House and enter the door on the left.
30	Confront the Assistant by the Lighthouse. After he and Leyden make up, head to the top of the Lighthouse and press A to link Bulbfish Island back to Shipshape Island. You'll then return to Shipshape Island and move on to the next part of your adventure!
