Mysterious pursuer · Isle Delfino

The impostor’s resemblance to Mario causes confusion about the island’s pollution. His identity and connection to Bowser Jr. are important story revelations.

  • Story: His appearances punctuate progression and unlock important tools or story access. The episode-seven chases in the main courses are especially significant to the route toward the finale.
  • In the game: Pursue while spraying, but control Mario’s position near ledges. Keeping sight of the target is useful; rushing into a fall usually costs more time than taking a slightly safer line.
