This opens up a red door on Flipside Tower. Merlon gives Mario the first Pure Heart, and Tippi leads him to a Heart Pillar to place it in. Mario is the hero spoken of in the prophecy. The Light Prognosticus was written to counter the dark one, and says that eight Pure Hearts are needed to stop the prophecy, which can only truly be stopped when the one protected by the dark power is destroyed. It appears both small and far, but will only grow and destroy everything. There, Mario meets Merlon (again, a different Merlon from the two Mario met in the previous Paper Mario games), who shows him that The Void has opened. Bleck and Nastasia escape the explosion.Īt Bowser's Castle, a Pixl named Tippi appears when Mario wakes up, and she takes him to the town of Flipside, which is between dimensions. Luigi tries to stop Bleck by attacking Bowser and the Chaos Heart, but the Chaos Heart causes an explosion at the altar. The wedding between Peach and Bowser creates the evil Chaos Heart, which begins the prophecy of destruction. Bowser has always wanted to marry Peach, but Peach refuses, and so Nastasia brainwashes her to say "I do". The game skips over this next event, but it is shown near the menu screen: Bleck and his assistant, Nastasia, force Peach and Bowser to get married at the altar. Bleck knocks Mario out with a black hole attack and then captures Bowser, Luigi, and Bowser's entire army, and teleports away, leaving only the unconscious Mario.
