Kammy zips around the cold air in joy.

"Ahem!"
It's Skolar! He's crossing his stellar arms and tapping his celestial foot, mid-air. "Forget about me, fellas?"
Muskular shoots out of your Shell to greet his comrade. He's dripping with a mix of his and your sweat.
"Brother!! It's so good to see you!!" He goes in for a hug, leaving Skolar drenched and soaking.
Skolar ignores the smell and moisture, and asks "What are you doing travelling with King Koopa?!"
He gets clued in on "your mission" by the dunderhead Muskular.
"Oh... He's... Helping us now? ...Okay, if you say so..." Skolar lingers...
You don't like his tone. You may have to turn him into dust and eat that dust to earn his compliance and power, like what happened with Grandmamar.
Muskular continues, "So, what were you doing stuck in the ice, Skolar??? We missed you in Starborn Valley!"
"Actually, I was researching the disappearance of Eldar... We all know he went Supernova... But we haven't been able to collect a few of his remaining scattered Supernova Tokens, and the Specks... We'll probably never get all of those back..."
Even Muskular understands. "You're telling me that under the ice, frozen next to that pipe..."
"That's right!! Check it out, I've got one right here!"
Skolar presents a shiny Supernova Token to the Party.
"Bowser, if it's true you're helping out all of us in Star Haven, then I want you and your partners to have this."
>+1 Supernova Token!!! Score! Go ahead and use it right now!! (Picrel has all available paths. Upgrades are hi-lited for easy viewing. You can also compare their old/current stats on
pastebin.com/Vgpm3708 - Note that all first-time upgrade recipients get 3 new moves and 3 upgrades, while second-time recipients get 2 new moves and 4 upgrades. Please let me know if you have trouble reading the image)
(You have enough Coins and Specks to afford another Token in town, but like I mentioned, there will also very likely be nice items, rare Badges and interesting opportunities to use your money, which you may be interested, and which may not be offered again. You'll also be able to sell unwanted Badges/Items/Partners(jk) to generate some Coins. So I'll run through all of those options, and then if you wind up still having enough Coins/Specks to exchange for a Token, I'll ask you if you want to buy one, it's also likely you'll find other places to exchange for Tokens outside of Toad Town, like in Twilight Town, Shy Guy's Toy Box, or Pharma Land - Dr. Mario's domain. That all comes... Next thread! Just pick one partner to upgrade for now. You're also going to be receiving 3-4 more partners total, probably all next thread, but maybe spread across the next two, depending how things go.)
