I'm stuck...I make my way up in Chapter 7 Level 2...I am supposed to greet the door with the face on it, but it only tells me "some mysterious force" is keeping the door closed. HELP!

use Tippi to look at the door...I think

hopefully you got picclo before door 3

You don't need Piccolo to beat the boss. I found it very easy to win without that pixl. After I beat the boss I went back and got Piccolo and realized the pixl wasn't really worth the hunt.

Yeah, Piccolo is far from necessary. Bowser + Thudley = Your Friend

Problem is: Bowser is not an option to use in this world. Thudley is though, yet ineffective.

Anyone else have a suggestion?

piccolo is pretty much a useless pixi, at least to me anyways.

i used bowser for the majority of the game after i got him. if i couldnt use him i just used mario.

barry comes in handy sometimes too. i forget which boss your talking about specifically, but it could work. never did me wrong.

it's not the boss i'm trying to beat....

when you first enter the world, you go down a long hall and are greeted by someone at the door who tells you it's dark inside this room....

then you enter the room and climb a series of steps....

at the top is a door that should have a face on the door (at least that's what my player's guide says) but all i get is "the door is locked by some mysterious force" and there's no face on the door.....

what am i missing?

Walk right and enter the door. This room is pitch black. It would be
near impossible for me to describe where to jump next. Just follow
Luvbi, who should always be just at the edge of your vision. At one
point you'll see a chest on your right. Either use Luigi or drop from
the ledge above it to obtain a Dark Boo card. Continue up and Use
Tippi to look at the door.

Answer his questions as follows:

Enter, save, then switch to Barry and Mario. Talk to the three guys
standing at the final door. Answer yes. Enter and walk right. After a
rather funny conversation, you now have to fight Bowser. I'm not even
going to bother with boss strategies, just use Barry and Boomer if you
feel like.

Good. Now save and go through the locked door. Again, this room is
pitch black. This time however, switch to Bowser and use his fire
breath on the candles you see on your way up. Still, follow Luvdi and
watch out for Dark Boo's (Bowser makes nice work of them too).

Most of the way up you should see a pipe on the right side. That pipe
contains a huge amount of coins, but only a limited time in which to
collect them. Jump in and use Carrie for best results. Go back out and
continue to the top.


Again, use Tippi on the door.
Brain Age anyone? Answer his questions as follows:
3
2
Blue
4
Triangles

Enter, go left, then enter the pink door. Save, then talk to the pink
old witch. Answer yes. Talk to the D-man and enter the door. Guess
where you are? Work your way back up to where you where two sentences
ago.
...

You there yet? Good; now give the witch back her book and unlock the
next door. (you can talk to the other two witches as well. They each
have quests for you.).

Use Luigi to get over the first gap, then to get to the upper
staircases. When you reach the upper stairs, use Mario to get past the
Spiny Tromp.

Use Tippi on the door. Now you will have to battle 3 Chain Chomps, old
school strategy style. Either use Bowser's jump attack, or Boomer to
finish them quickly. Also, if you have Piccolo, use him to put them
all to sleep.

Enter and hit the star block.

Hows that?
