Walkthrough of the sea tower

The Purple Streamer leads Mario and Olivia to the Sea tour - found in the upper left corner of the Great Sea. To unlock the door you will need to complete all three trials at Diamond Island and gain the Ice Vellumental power. Now that we have the three orbs, insert them into the door to enter.

How to solve the mobile platform puzzle: In the first room of the sea tower, there is a series of mobile platforms. To cross, look for two platforms that you can safely stand on forever. There is one on the right and one later on the left.

To move forward, go through the door to the left of the huge faces of the vellumental statue. Hunt the blue Sidestepper with the jewel! To catch the Blue Sidestepper, follow the path through the spikes and fix the broken platform with confetti. At the top you will come across some push blocks that are seemingly impossible to pass.

Hit the wall to your left twice with the hammer to spawn platforms - now Mario can jump on the sliders and walk to the other side. Remove the decal from the platform at the end and it will slide down to you; once it is also fixed with confetti.

How to get the red gem: In the water room where the Blue Sidestepper retreats, use your hammer to knock down all the dragon statues above the holes. Three hammer blows knock them down. Block the upper left corner, then wait on the water path for the Sidestepper to try to escape through this hole. Then you can corner him!

Insert the Red gem into the statue's left mouth in the main room, and the stairs will meet, allowing Mario and Olivia to reach the next floor. At the top you'll find toads that have been mysteriously taped to the walls.

On the second floor: Fill up on confetti! Crush all the enemies, then go right and look for ice stairs at the bottom. Take the icy path to the puzzle room. Your objective in the ice slide puzzle is to reach the elevated ice slide on the far left wall. To do this, you need to move the slide from the upper right corner and block the small spike pit.

Use the image above as a guide. Hit the swipe up right down, left, up, right, down, left and up again to reach the spike pit.

On the high slide, hit it to the right with your hammer and you will complete the bridge, giving you access to a fire room. There's another familiar puzzle here - the Fire Vellumental Cave fireblock puzzle.

How to solve the Fire Block puzzle: Up, right, up, left, left, up, right, down, right, up, left, left, up

Past the firewalls, use the 1000 arms to pull the tape and drop the heavy weight, melting the ice teeth blocking your way to the exit.

Outside, you'll come across baddies on your way to the top of the tower. At the very top, approach the purple vapor and the terrible Tape will appear!

Boss: Bande

This boss hides all the panels you need in the treasure chest tile, so be sure to open it ASAP. To hurt Tape, use your Hammer attack to break its plastic shell. You will have to attack the four sides of the ribbon - more powerful hammers will destroy plastic faster.

Navigate so that you are close to each corner of the ribbon and break the pieces. This is the easiest part of the fight - just attack all four parts and smash them with your hammer. the 1000 arms et Make Vellumental will also damage the plastic!

Once the distributor is destroyed, the The tape is free! He can now place duct tape on the ring arena. The glued rings will stick together when you move them - to destroy the ribbon you can use the Fire Vellumental magic circle. The Strip only adds more Strip to the ring arena, so you'll have to clean it up or the whole arena will come to a standstill.

To really damage the tape in its second form, use arms 1000 times! The regular attacks hardly hurt him. Take turns using 1000 arms, then use the Fire Vellumental to clear the arena. When the boss charges his super attack while he's low on health, use the Fire Vellumental magic circle to stop him!

Pull the ribbon with 1000 arms about three times to defeat him. Without a tape, this boss is gone. You are now ready to crush the Purple Streamer and say goodbye to the Great Sea.

The third floor (roof): After defeating the boss, you will have to solve another puzzle. You'll need to hit all four switches - there's one in each direction, with a multi-magic circle like on Diamond Island.

Top right: Use the Ice Vellumental to freeze the water and press the red button with your hammer.
Top left: Use the Fire Vellumental to melt the large block of ice.
At the bottom left: Use the Water Vellumental to extinguish fires.
Bottom right: Use the Earth Vellumental to lower the rocks.

Complete the four puzzles and press the four red buttons with your hammer and a light will appear on the tower. Enter, and you'll enter the Five Streamer Regions Finale - Shangri-Spa!
