After he is beaten, the sewers are filled with water, and Mario is flushed down the falls and along the [[Midas River]], which takes him to Tadpole Pond. Once there, Mallow's grandfather [[Frog Sage|Frogfucius]] explains to them what happened until then, and also reveals that he is not truly related to Mallow. He tells [[Mallow]] to travel with Mario and find his true home. Lastly, he instructs the duo to continue their adventure by visiting [[Rose Town]], where people need their help. | ||

During this portion, Mario can collect coins, Frog Coins, and enter caverns. By pressing {{button|snes|a}}, Mario can swim upwards slightly. After reaching the bottom, Mario is taken to the river's barrel-jumping event. Here, he can collect coins while jumping onto barrels floating on the river and avoid fish. Failing to jump onto the next barrel when Mario's current barrel is about to collide with it makes Mario's barrel move to the side. At the end is a Mushroom person which exchanges the coins that Mario has collected for Frog Coins. Mario can retry the whole course for thirty coins. | ||

After Mario and his party rescue Toadstool in [[Marrymore]], the player can return to Mushroom Kingdom, enter the [[inn]], and talk to a young Toad in the corner. After talking to him several times, he offers Mario a minigame, [[Beetle Mania]], for five hundred coins. In the minigame, the player controls a beetle, who must fire yellow stars to destroy red Koopa shells and so gain points, while avoiding the shells and the red stars they produce once they are destroyed. Also, these red stars can destroy other shells, allowing the player to start chain reactions and obtain even more points. If the beetle is hit, it can recover by repeatedly pressing the fire button before a countdown to three can finish. | After Mario and his party rescue Toadstool in [[Marrymore]], the player can return to Mushroom Kingdom, enter the [[inn]], and talk to a young [[Toad (species)|Mushroom person]] in the corner.

It also showed that at least one Buzzer would be in Mushroom Way, and that Frogfucius's island at Tadpole Pond would be closer and therefore accessed differently. | ||
