2 | Go right and down the staircase toward the Earth Vellumental Temple. Toads No. 1-15 can be found here. (Jump to Explanation) |
3 | Attack the Shy Guy next to the Earth Vellumental Temple door. You won't be able to open the door until you've found all the Shell Stones on Overlook Mountain. |
4 | After the cutscene, head back up the staircase into the central area. Go past the house covered in Streamer to watch a short cutscene. Toads No. 16-37 can be found here. (Jump to Explanation) |
5 | Continue along the path until you are blocked by an origami dog. Hit it with your hammer to turn it back into a Toad. It will return to Toad Town to open the Battle Lab. |

Objectives | |

1 | Return to the house which was previously blocked by the Red Streamer. Tear off the seal on the orange Pipe to the left. You can use this Pipe to return to Toad Town. |
2 | Go inside the house (the Sensor Lab). Hit the image of the Toad on the fax machine-like apparatus. You'll play a mini-game and gain access to the Toad Radar. |
If you have time to swing back to Toad Town after rescuing the origami dog Toad, you'll now be able to access the Battle Lab. You'll get a free 1-up Mushroom on your first visit, which will allow you to continue a battle if you run out of HP, so better to get it sooner rather than later!

Enlarge To the Right of the Temple Door |
To the bottom right from the Temple door, jump on the crates to get up on the stalls. At the far end, hit the lower hole in the wall to create a Magic Circle. Use the 1,000-Fold Arms to hit the barrier up high, revealing a big group of Toads. |
Enlarge Under the Temple |
