TheDream Stone is an ancientPi'illo artifact appearing inMario & Luigi: Dream Team. The Dream Stone is a rainbow-colored stone in the shape of a spiral. It is said to be made up of happy dreams and grant the wishes of anyone who possessed it.
History[edit]
The Dream Stone is first mentioned byPrince Dreambert when he explained the disappearance of the Pi'illo race: The Pi'illos were entrusted with the protection of the Dream Stone as well as its counterpart, theDark Stone. But then the evil bat king,Antasma stole the Dark Stone and shattered it before being sealed into theDream World, causing itsNightmare Chunks to send the Pi'illos into a deep slumber.
After Antasma escapesDream's Deep alongsideBowser, the Dream Stone is mentioned again byEldream, stating that Antasma will likely go after it now that he is free. He suggests thatMario andLuigi head toDozing Sands where the Dream Stone is located before Bowser and Antasma can get to it. However, after defeatingTorkscrew, it is revealed that Bowser and Antasma have beaten Mario and Luigi to the Dream Stone. Antasma states that since he could not have the Dark Stone, the Dream Stone would have to do for his plans, and then flees the area with Bowser. Mario andDreamy Luigi chase down theDream Stone's spirit inDreamy Dozing Sands, who eventually tells them that the Dream Stone was taken toMount Pajamaja.
Bowser and Antasma, along withKamek and theElite Trio, are later found on the peak of Mount Pajamaja with the Dream Stone. When Mario and Luigi reach them,Private Goomp turns on some speakers which begin playing theDreambeats. Mario and Luigi escape before they could fall asleep, but the Dreambeats manage to spread across the entire island, putting everyone to sleep. The Dream Stone collects the energy from the sleeping inhabitants, powering it up. Once the Dream Stone is powered up, Antasma and Bowser wish for a castle, which Bowser promptly dubsNeo Bowser Castle.
Near the end of the game in Neo Bowser Castle, Bowser betrays Antasma and takes the Dream Stone for himself. Due to this, Antasma swears to have his revenge on Bowser after defeating the heroes, revealing that his ability to create dream portals wherever and whenever he pleased came from his wish to the Dream Stone. After Antasma is defeated, Bowser attempts to wish the Mario Bros. out of existence with the Dream Stone, but was stopped byStarlow andPrincess Peach, who also destroy the Dream Stone at the behest ofPrince Dreambert. After the Dream Stone is shattered, Bowser desperately inhales the shards of the broken Dream Stone, transforming him intoDreamy Bowser.
At the end of the game, Prince Dreambert, with the help of the other inhabitants ofPi'illo Island, collects the dust that Bowser spat out and gives it toZeekeeper to restore the Dream Stone. However, the Zeekeeper instead uses the dust to create a "Dream Coin", which he then shatters to shower the entire island incoins.
