Mario's Journal:
Day 31 (Part 4)

We continued the frustrating climb.
On the way, we found another cell filled with guests from the party. We set them free and Parakarry and Lakilester led them all to the starship. They're all safe now.
We reached another guard door, but this time we had to fight the Koopa Bros. again...or at least we would have had Jr. Troopa not beat them for us. I'm not sure how Jr. Troopa got all the way up here, but he insisted on another rematch. He didn't hold back this time. Clearly he had trained hard. We were able to defeat him though. Jr. Troopa ran off promising his return.
The guard door ended up letting us through since we beat the guy who beat the Koopa Bros.
We finally reached the roof of Bowser's castle where Peach's castle stood. We're so close. Hang in there Peach!
