Twilight Town's Keys Walkthrough

	Objectives
1	As you exit the rusty pipe, a cutscene with a local will play. After learning about the town's curse, mayor will then take you to his house.
2	Despite the curse, Mario will decide to stay for the Crystal Star. Exit the Mayor's house and check the left side of the house for Star Pieces and the bushes for a Fire Flower.
3	Exit to the East Side of the town. Check around the barrels on the southern side of the area for a Star Piece. Check out the store to to see that the shopkeeper's husband has become a pig and has lost the Storage Key.
*	When you get to the East Side of town, head into the first house you see and there is a starving family inside. Give them a food item for a free Shoooting Star. The mother will then turn into a pig afterwards.
4	Head out the east gate and you will be stopped by the gatekeeper. You need to go back to the mayor's house to get permission.
5	As you head into the mayor's house, he will be a pig when you get there. Go back to the east gate and you'll see that the gatekeeper has also turned into a pig.
6	You can now head through the east gate. Push the rock in front of the shed and grab the Black Key for the next Curse.
7	Keep heading east and you'll see a tree that has fallen down. Use Koops to grab the Storage Key and make your way back to Twilight Town.

Curse of the Tube Walkthrough

	Objectives
1	After getting the Storage Key and returning to Twilight Town, head to the shop and use the Storage Key to open the Shed.
2	Head inside the storage room for a few goodies and once you looted the entire place go use your Black Key on the Black Box. Just like before, the Box will curse you with a new Power Up, the Tube Mode.
3	After the Tube Mode tutorial, back track to the fallen tree where you first got the Storage Key. You can finally slip under the tree using Tube Mode. Check the roots to get a Star Piece.
4	Keep heading east until you see a giant stack of hay, use Flurrie to blow it away to reveal a pipe. Grab the Star Piece behind the pipe, and head down to get into the background and go left to get to Twilight Woods.
5	Now that you're in Twilight Woods, head down the trail and hit the Coin Block if you want and then use Paper mode to slip between a gap in the trees. You can grab the item block and then head into the next area.
6	Once you get to the next area grab the Hammer Throw Badge and keep going west to the huge tree.
7	Use Flurrie to blow at the tree and reveal an entrance. Go inside the tree and this will take you to the background so head east and you will arrive at a new area.
8	Keep heading east and you'll see a folded spot on the floor. Use Flurrie to blow on the spot to reveal a hole you can Spin Jump to reveal another hole.
9	Head down the hole and you will be in the background. Head right and push the rock to move the rock in the foreground. Move the rock until you can't anymore.
10	Head back to the foreground through the hole and head right. There is a hole where the rock used to be so drop through that to get to the other side of the rock.
11	Head east and there is a Shine Sprite behind the tree that is next to two rocks so jump up to get it. Keep heading east and you are now at the Creepy Steeple.

Twilight Town's Old Mansion Walkthrough

	Objectives
1	Once you get to the Steeple, feel free top Save and Heal up. Once you're ready, go to the gate only to find out it is locked.
2	To the right of the gate you'll see an opening in the wall near a well. Use your tube form so you can roll under the opening. You can then unlock the gate from the inside with your Hammer for easier access.
*	Jump inside the well for a Shine Sprite and the Tornado Jump Badge along with a ton of Buzzy Beetles. Make sure you have the Quake Hammer equipped to make the fights easier. Other than the free Star Points, there's nothing much else here for now.
3	Once you're ready, you can now head inside. There's a lot of paths you can take, we recommend using your Tube form to enter the hole upwards of the entrance first. This will get you a lot of items and a hidden Star Piece behind the lamp.
*	Be sure to pick up the cookbook in the Chest as you need it for Zess T.'s Trouble.
4	Head out of the room and a Boo will stop you from going up or down so go East. Push the Crystal Star statue to reveal a hole you can jump into.
5	After falling into the hole, use Flurrie to blow at the fake wall behind the spring to reveal an entrance you can enter. Go into it and head right to get a Flower Save Badge.
6	Head out of the hole and go through the door to the left and you will see an ornate box in the middle of the room.
7	Open it and a lot of Boos will appear. You will then be asked by another Boo how many were in there, the answer is 200 for a free Ultra Shroom.
8	Head back up by using the spring in the previous room. Once you get up, you will see a lone Boo who will ask you if you're going to be mean to him or his friends.
9	After you answer "No," it will call upon the 200 Boos to swirl around you. If you stand in one place, you will be kicked out of the Steeple.

Optional Boss: Atomic Boo

	Objectives
1	If you want to fight the boss, you can head outside the Steeple first to save but if you want to fight as you are, stay in the room.
2	Ready your Super Hammer and wait for a few Boos to accumulate around you. Release the Super Hammer once you have accumulated enough Boos.
3	Repeat the Super Hammer strat and the Boos will get mad and combine into the Atomic Boo and you will be able to fight it! Click here for Atomic Boo Battle Guide ►
