History[edit]
During the course of the game, the Enigmansion becomes haunted afterKamek opens theBook of Sealing, releasing all of theBoos inside it. The steward givesMario the Book of Sealing and asks him with to find all of the hidden Boos and seal them back into the book. After this is done, the steward thanks Mario and invites him to the living room, where he insists that they sit down and chat over tea.
When Mario inspects a picture on the wall, the steward explains that it was painted by the mansion's previous steward, and that he inherited the mansion after the former steward passed away. As a token of thanks, the steward gives Mario theForebear's Portrait, insisting that he feels better without it.
Mario must then travel to Whiteout Valley, where he canpaperize to place the Forebear's Portrait into the blank space. The forebear then comes to life and activates the ski lift for Mario andKersti, allowing them to continue their adventure.
If Mario returns to the Enigmansion after riding the ski lift, it is discovered that the forebear has returned and regained ownership of the mansion, and the steward has been made his servant. Mario can sit in the chair in front of the forebear to initiative a brief conversation that ends with the forebear summoning in the steward, who gives Mario anHP-Up Heart.
The forebear reappears at the end of the game, celebrating theSticker Fest alongside the steward.
According to a biography of the forebear found in a bookshelf in the mansion, he operated the ski lift for 30 years and withdrew to a quiet life in the mansion with his servant after retiring.
