History[edit]
AfterHeatfreeze Island is connected, theIDLE group discover theExtension Corps' hideout on Slippenglide Island, prompting Mario and Luigi to investigate. Upon arriving in the village, they find most of the inhabitants infected byGlohm including the island's chief,Chilliam's dad. Mario and Luigi find the IDLE group on the far left side of the island, along withTen in the lab. Mario and Luigi chase Ten up the mountain, learningBall Blitz on the way to push through a strong wind. Ten escapes, and Mario and Luigi look around his lab, only to find not much information about Glohm orZokket's plans.
On the way to the island's lighthouse, Mario and Luigi encounter a group ofGoombas andKoopa Paratroopas. Both groups are fought back-to-back, and all members of both groups must be defeated at the same time otherwise they call reinforcements.
