Nimbus Land Walkthrough

Fake Prince Mallow Appears Upon Arriving in the Kingdom

An event occurs when you climb the vine from Bean Valley and arrive at Nimbus Land. Valentina and the fake Prince Mallow are giving a speech to the citizens.

Start with Shopping First

After the event, you can purchase weapons and armor at the item shop near the kingdom entrance. If you proceed with the event at the sculptor Garro's house next, you won't be able to visit the shop for a while, so make sure to buy everything at this time.

Open the Hidden Treasure Chest

There are stacked boxes in the back of the item shop. There's a hidden treasure chest on the very top, so open it.

Examine the Statue in Sculptor Garro's House

The building to the left of the palace is sculptor Garro's house. Inside, there's a statue of Mallow's father, who looks just like him. Examine it to talk to Garro, and it will be revealed that Mallow is the prince. If you choose "Yes," you can infiltrate the palace by pretending to be a statue.

Save in the Palace Passageway

You can save by going left from the room where the Mario statue was placed. If you try to proceed through the room, you'll hear Valentina and Dodo talking... Return to the original spot and pretend to be a statue so Dodo doesn't find out!

Dodge Dodo's Pecks by Jumping

Dodo was ordered to polish the statue. Since he's in a bad mood, a game begins where you have to dodge his beak pecks by jumping. Jump when he walks in front of Mario.

Succeed to Get "Dodo's Feather"

If you dodge all the pecks, "Dodo's Feather" will be on the floor in the next room. It's a valuable accessory that increases Speed by +20.

Failing the Minigame Results in a Battle

If you fail twice, you will battle Dodo. Dodo's normal attacks are powerful and can inflict Silence, so prepare with accessories.

Get "Palace Key 1" from a Resident

Head for the save room where the people of Nimbus Land are. There are hidden treasure chests along the way, so collect them. Talk to the person in the room and select "Yes" to get "Palace Key 1".

Order	Path Description
1.	Proceed to the room on the right
2.	Follow the path
3.	Beware of enemies disguised as statues
4.	Enter the left door in the passage with the Heavy Troopa. Be sure to get the treasure chest near the door.
5.	Enemies in the passage will approach, so be careful.
5.	There are 2 hidden treasure chests. Proceed down the passage.
6.	Save room with palace servants. You can get a Flower Set and Palace Key 1.

Defeat the Heavy Troopa Guarding the Door

As you proceed through the palace, you'll find a Heavy Troopa guarding a door, so defeat it. Jump attacks are effective. After defeating it, use the "Palace Key 1" you just received to open the door.

Get "Palace Key 2" from Birdo

Talk to the egg in the room and select "Play with it" to start a battle. Normal attacks don't do much damage, but use the eggs Birdo spits out to deal damage. Win to get "Palace Key 2".

Get Spotted by Valentina in the Back Room

Open the door and Valentina will spot you. She'll flee to the back room, so chase after her.

Chase Her and Battle Dodo

You can catch up to the slow Dodo. Whether you defeat him in this room or not, you'll fight him alongside Valentina once you leave the palace.

Become Invincible

There's no downside to gaining experience, so aim to get the Star and then hit Dodo. Jump from directly below to reveal a hidden block. Open the treasure chest to become invincible and head to the next room.

Exit to the World Map Once to Heal HP

You'll fall from the palace to the clouds below, and when you return to Nimbus Land, an event will occur, leading immediately to a boss battle. Use the trampoline to go to the world map, visit Ripple Town or Monstro Town to heal HP and save, then re-enter Nimbus Land.

Rearrange Your Party

In the upcoming Valentina & Dodo battle, the character in the middle of your party will fight Dodo one-on-one in a separate location. Dodo's normal attacks are powerful, so it's recommended to place a fast character like Geno who can act first, or Bowser who has high defense, in the middle.

Fight Valentina & Dodo in Front of the Palace

First, Dodo, summoned by Valentina, and the middle character of your party will fight in a separate location. Then, it will be Valentina vs. the remaining 2 characters, followed by Dodo and his group joining, making it a 3 vs. 2 battle.

Exit the Palace and Head to the Hot Spring

You can now use the hot spring, which is only for royalty. Talk to the hot spring guard to pass, then head to Barrel Volcano.

Treasure Chest When Falling from the Palace

You'll fall from the palace while chasing Valentina. The treasure chest on the cloud during the fall can be opened by climbing the yellow vine from Bean Valley.

Climb the Yellow Vine at the Fork

In the area where you climb the cloud vines, there's a fork with yellow and green vines. The treasure chest you see when falling from the palace can be opened by climbing the yellow vine.

How to Climb Vines

There are coins around the vine. You can collect them by using the stick to move around the vine while climbing.

Utilize Hidden Blocks

On the yellow vine route where the treasure chest is, use the hidden blocks above the vine to jump across.

Things to Do After Defeating Valentina

Once Nimbus Land returns to normal, you can access previously unavailable locations and events. There are also events that can power up your party before going to Barrel Volcano, so be sure to check them out.

Visit King Nimbus

Before fighting Valentina, you couldn't enter the room in the palace with the sign "ABSOLUTE REST". After defeating Valentina, you can enter the room and meet Mallow's father.

Get a "Flower Set"

Get the "Signal Ring"

Croco is stealing in the house to the right of the palace. The item Croco drops when he comes out of the house is the "Signal Ring". It's an accessory that alerts you with a sound when a treasure chest is nearby.

Get "Fertilizer"

Talk to the Gardener (Tondariya) by walking on the invisible path to the right of the palace to get "Fertilizer". This "Fertilizer" is necessary to obtain Mario's ultimate equipment, the Lazy Shell.

Talk to the Rat in Monstro Town

Talk to the rat on the 2nd floor of a house in Monstro Town to hear about a planter who moved to Rose Town.

Give "Fertilizer" and "Seed"
