==Garson's Stories== | |||
===Stylish Moves=== | |||
<poem> | |||
So yeah, ever heard of stylish moves? They're cool poses for after stomping! | |||
After stomping an enemy, but before landing tilt Wii Remote around and | |||
give it a shake. You'll pull off some cool tricks in midair! Those are | |||
called stylish moves. | |||
What? What's a Wii Remote? ...Don't worry. As long as the player | |||
gets it, we're fine." | |||
Doing stylish moves is not only cool, but it gives you lots of points. And if | |||
you hold down {{button|Wii|2}} after a jump, you'll bounce high, making it even easier. | |||
Just give it a shot! | |||
</poem> | |||
===The Pure Hearts=== | |||
<poem> | |||
So yeah, ever heard of the Pure Hearts? They're great treasures created by | |||
the ancients... Supposedly really powerful. Folks say that heroes will appear | |||
to collect them all and save the world. | |||
The source of power in these Pure Hearts? The power of love itself! The love | |||
of a parent...The love of the smitten... Great power, indeed. | |||
The Ancients researched this power, believing it to be the universe's only | |||
salvation. And these Pure Hearts were thus created... The shining embodiment | |||
of love itself. Their combined brilliance will negate the destruction born of | |||
the Chaos Heart... we hope. | |||
</poem> | |||
===The Dark Prognosticus=== | |||
<poem> | |||
So yeah, ever heard of the Dark Prognosticus? Everything that'll happen in | |||
the future is written down in this book. The author and the source of his | |||
knowledge are still a total mystery, though. | |||
Over the years, many have fought over it... Entire countries have fallen. And | |||
the fall of those countries was already predicted in the book... Imagine going | |||
through awful stuff to get the book, only to READ about it all after! | |||
Anyway, someone hid the book long ago, and now no one knows where it is. I | |||
wonder what sort of person has it now... | |||
</poem> | |||
===The Ancients=== | |||
<poem> | |||
So yeah, ever heard of an advanced civilization called the Tribe of Ancients? | |||
They were, like, a thousand times smarter than you or me. | |||
There were four austere sages among them. You know one of these as Merlumina. | |||
But when it came to love, these sages were unreserved... Their passion burned | |||
HOT. | |||
I've heard some pretty spicy legends about the love life of Merlumina, in | |||
particular... In fact, her love life threatened to destroy the world on a few | |||
occasions... I don't know if these stories are true or not. And I guess we'll | |||
never know. | |||
</poem> | |||
===Flipside Secrets=== | |||
<poem> | |||
So yeah, these were the words written in the book left behind by the | |||
Ancients... | |||
'On the outskirts of town, third floor, look for the hidden platform to go up.' | |||
I don't know what this means, exactly... Maybe it's a way to find secret | |||
treasure? Maybe you ought to go check it out! | |||
</poem> | |||
===Descendants of the Ancients=== | |||
<poem> | |||
So yeah, you meet Merlon and Merlee yet? They're descendants of the Ancients | |||
and distantly related to each other, I hear. | |||
The Ancients hid the Pure Hearts in various worlds to stop eventual | |||
destruction. Then the Ancients scattered to various world to pass the rest of | |||
their days. | |||
Most of them were wise and kind like Merlumina. And like Merlumina, many of | |||
them would totally lose their cool when they fell in love. But it was this | |||
very passion that let them build the vessels of love, the Pure Hearts... | |||
</poem> | |||
===Pit of 100 Trials=== | |||
<poem> | |||
So yeah, you know about the Pit of 100 Trials? It's supposedly this 100-room | |||
labyrinth underneath this very town. | |||
Many have searched for the entrance, but it still remains hidden. The only | |||
clue we have is this saying from the Ancients: 'Pit seekers! Go to the town | |||
outskirts, the lowest floor, and seek the hidden platforms.' | |||
...It sounds sort of like the clue I gave you earlier, doesn't it? What's all | |||
this stuff about hidden platforms, anyway? If you find out, let me know. | |||
</poem> | |||
===Flipside History=== | |||
<poem> | |||
So yeah, Flipside is a town between dimensions created by the Ancients. You | |||
can open up paths to many worlds from here, as the Ancients designed it. | |||
And you've seen the white tower in the middle of Flipside, right? It controls | |||
the flow of dimensional energy, so it can beam people to worlds. I think | |||
that's why the doors to other worlds appear up near the tower. | |||
I hear there's another version of the tower...A dark one. I wonder where the | |||
dark tower is... Yeah, I admit, I don't know. Do you? | |||
</poem> | |||
===More Flipside Secrets=== | |||
<poem> | |||
So yeah, the town of Flipside still has so many secrets to hide. I just found | |||
this passage not too long ago... | |||
'Flip is flop. If you cannot break through in flip, you should try it in | |||
flop.' | |||
Now, I don't know what that means... But I'm sure it'll lead you to something | |||
pretty good! So go try it out! | |||
</poem> | |||
===The Hero Legend=== | |||
<poem> | |||
The Ancients traveled to many worlds to entrust people with Pure Hearts. It | |||
was to keep them safe from destruction or misuse by those with evil hearts. | |||
The Pure Hearts were drawn by their own power toward those strong with love. | |||
The Ancients used this trait to find suitable guardians in each world. | |||
And a few romances also began as a result of these little journeys... Many of | |||
the Ancients who found guardians fell in love with those they met. And so they | |||
lived their days happily in the world they'd visited out of duty. This is how | |||
the legend of the hero was passed down to future generations... | |||
</poem> | |||
===More Stylish Moves=== | |||
<poem> | |||
So yeah, you master all of the super-graceful stylish moves? After stomping a | |||
foe, move Wii Remote in different ways while in midair to get stylish! | |||
Doing a bunch of them in a row gets you really high scores, so it's worth it. | |||
Today I'll tell you about some special moves that are really hard to do. After | |||
stomping the enemy, alternately tilt Wii Remote left and right while | |||
in midair. You should perform more amazing stylish moves than you've ever | |||
seen! | |||
But make sure you don't get too excited and throw the Wii Remote! Use | |||
the strap! | |||
</poem> | |||
===Pixls=== | |||
<poem> | |||
So yeah, you know about Pixls, right? Heh... Yeah, I see that you do. Those | |||
wily Ancients were smart, but not too strong. They needed muscle. So they | |||
made the Pixls for anything physical they couldn't do on their own. | |||
With the help of the Pixls, the Ancients built amazing worlds. But now that | |||
technology is mostly lost, as the Pixls are scattered and forgotten. | |||
There are even some original Pixls, stronger than the rest, who still wait to | |||
be found. I see you've found a Pixl already, but there are others you haven't | |||
found yet. | |||
</poem> | |||
===Merlon's Love Life=== | |||
<poem> | |||
So yeah, those Ancients were passionate and romantic... Did I already tell you | |||
that? Even Merlon, their descendant, is wild for love, you know... Why, he had | |||
quite a thing for Saffron the cook. He went to her cooking shop every day and | |||
wooed her constantly. | |||
He finally broke down and confessed his love for her... And here's what she | |||
said: 'If you can finish an entire serving of my Saffron Special Galactic | |||
Meal, I'll date you.' ...And this is one of the biggest, most filling dishes | |||
anyone's ever seen, mind you. But he dug right in. | |||
According to spectators, he finished all but a sprig of parsley left on the | |||
plate. Just then, some poor girl appeared in town who was severely injured. | |||
Merlon had to help her, so Saffron let him suspend the challenge. | |||
I don't know what happened to that girl next... But then Merlon became | |||
engrossed in his studies, and he hasn't wooed since. Maybe he'll get back to | |||
it when the world is peaceful and safe again. | |||
</poem> | |||
===The End of the World=== | |||
<poem> | |||
So yeah, ever heard of the Sammer Kingdom? The king there controls an army of | |||
100 loyal soldiers. Each one has a different personality and unique skills. | |||
King Sammer was entrusted with a Pure Heart by Merlumina's younger sister... | |||
She was madly in love with King Sammer I, so they married and had 100 kids. | |||
The 100 princes and their royal parents ushered in an era of prosperity. | |||
Therefore, the number 100 became important to the current king. Imagine all the | |||
budding romances with 100 strapping princes around... The kingdom of that era | |||
would have had no problem fighting our current woes... | |||
</poem> | |||
===More Pixls=== | |||
<poem> | |||
So yeah, you know all about Pixls by now, am I right? Yeah, sure you do... | |||
They were a new form of life created as tools to help the Ancients' lives. But | |||
seriously, they're way more useful than any normal tools. | |||
Being able to think on their own made them more useful...and problematic. | |||
There was always the fear that if they grew too wise, they'd ignore their | |||
masters. Some say the original Pixl personalities were created to prevent | |||
this. | |||
There were some very bright Pixls... But then something dramatic happened, and | |||
the Pixl personalities changed. I wonder what happened? If you find out, let | |||
me know... | |||
</poem> | |||
===Restoring the Pure Hearts=== | |||
<poem> | |||
So yeah, the Pure Hearts are powerful treasures created by the Ancients. The | |||
secret of that power is the ability to detect and amplify love energy. | |||
Some among the Ancients believed strongly that the power of love was infinite. | |||
They believed this power to be so great that no forces could ever defeat it... | |||
They believed it would last and survive unchanged for the 1,500 prophesied | |||
years... This is what they believed about the power of love. The power of the | |||
Pure Hearts. | |||
As long as there's love in the world, the Pure Hearts can overcome any setback. | |||
You could say the Ancients believed in love abiding. Kind of romantic, | |||
really... | |||
</poem> | |||
===Returning to Peace=== | |||
<poem> | |||
The Void disappeared and ruined worlds have returned. It's like a miracle! | |||
You should go check out the various worlds to see how wonderful they all are! | |||
You might even see people you thought you'd never meet again. | |||
The martial-arts competition in the Sammer Kingdom is even up and running | |||
again! If you beat all 100 warriors, I bet you get a fantastic prize! Do you | |||
think anyone could do it? I'd love to meet the winner... | |||
</poem> | |||
===More Pit of 100 Trials=== | |||
<poem> | |||
So yeah, there's a Pit of 100 Trials below town somewhere... It was used by | |||
the Ancients to research the power of the Pure Hearts... | |||
Their experiments involved all sorts of really nasty beasties down there. So | |||
they stocked it with nasties from all the different worlds. | |||
I'd recommend only going if you're really serious about it... But there's a | |||
secret treasure of the Ancients hidden down there somewhere... If you feel up | |||
to the task, you should go look for it! | |||
