Objectives
1
Go up to the monkey standing on the tuna cans on the north side and Olivia will interact with it. After it leaves, take the Can of Tuna.
2
Go to the Tall Grass Plains and find the monkey on a shrine in the northeast corner. Interact with the monkey and give it the Can of Tuna. You'll find that you need to open the can.
3 Go to the southeast clearing where Bob-omb was resting previously. Talk to the Shy Guy there and you'll find out that they are planning a can-opening party. How convenient!
4
Explore the northwestern section of the grass, south of the ? Block. You'll find a character you can talk to. It will be Spike, one of the party participants, so lead him back to where Shy Guy is waiting.
5
Head into the grass again and go to the southwest section near the white pillar. You will see something moving around quickly in a circle, so hit it and start a Wave Battle.
6 After the battle, talk to Dry Goomba, the last party participant. Take Dry Goomba back to where the other two are waiting to start the canned food party.
7
Give Dry Goomba the Can of Tuna and it will open it for you. Take the Opened Can of Tuna to the monkey waiting at the shrine in the northeast.
8
While the monkey is eating the tuna, hit it with your Hammer to transform it back into the boatman Toad.
9 Go back to the starting area and talk to the boatman to continue to Eddy River and a river rafting minigame.

Go back to the party each time

Even if you search high and low in the grass to find both party members at the same time, you cannot find Dry Goomba on the first try.

You'll need to take Spike back to the party first, after which the enemies in the Tall Grass Plains will reset, and you'll be able to find the enemies chasing Dry Goomba around.
