Mario and the others have found their sixth Star Piece after their battle with the Axem Rangers at Barrel Volcano. They return back to Nimbus Land, where Mallow's parents allow them to take the Royal Bus to Bowser's Keep, which is where the last Star Piece is located, and they get put through various trials as they get past Bowser's former minions.

As for the rest of the description, I recommend watching the full video before reading past this point of the description

To enter Bowser's Keep, talk to Mallow's parents after beating the Axem Rangers, and you get to take the Royal Bus, the Royal Bus Driver looks like a large Lakitu with shells for wheels, time to board him to get to Bowser's Keep.
Bowser's Keep has some new enemies, and if Bowser is in your active party, the enemies will flee from battle, and the first new one is Terra Cotta, a more powerful Terrapin, Pro Goomba, otherwise called Gu Goomba in the original, these variants of Goombas can be confused and can attack allies, and Malakoopa, a variant of Paratroopa, and the larger Grand Troopa, or Tub-O-Troopa in the original, they can charge up and deal huge damage and have massive HP.
There are some enemies that appear only alongside others, Star Cruster, a more powerful Crusty, has good Attack and Defense, but weak to magic attacks and doesn't have much HP, and it can counterattack with Mini Light Beam to put opponents to sleep. Forkie, which for some reason was called Forkies in the SNES version, it does not attack unless you attack it first, and it can use Storm for its only special move, it has a good amount of HP.
When you go through the castle, you will find Croco, and he sells some items, and you can buy the fire armor from him, as well as some good items like Mid Mushroom, Maple Syrup, Pick Me Up, and Party Cleanse.
Then time to take on the Six-Door Chamber, and there are four doors you have to take, there are two Action Courses, two Battle Courses, and two Puzzle Courses. For the Action Courses, you have 10 tries to go through them, and those are usually platforming courses, and one of them is a room where you have to move on an iron ball in a room filled with Bob-ombs, and one room has an invisible path and a Guerrilla throwing barrels as a reference to Donkey Kong. For rewards, you can get Sonic Cymbals, which is Mallow's most powerful weapon, and the other Action Course awards Super Slap, Peach's second best weapon before the Frying Pan which you can pick up at Moleville, and that shop is where you can get a second Feather.
The Battle Courses put you through waves of enemies, and in order, you fight Pro Goomba, Malakoopa and Grand Troopa, Boo and Orbison, Sling Shy, Chewy and Beezo, Mr. Kipper and Muckle, Amanita and Orbison, Greaper and Glum Reaper, a new enemy, but we can find Glum Reapers in the last area in the game, they use magic attacks and their Reaper Sickle is a mortal blow. The third room has Lava Babble, Lakitu, Zeostar and Shaman, and the Shamans, and at the end is Drill Claw, this is Bowser's best weapon in the game.
Battle Course 2 has Terra Cotta, Urspike and Star Cruster, Sackit and Big Blaster, Big Blasters fire Bullet Bills, and they can use Blazer to instantly defeat a party member, it was originally called Big Bertha in the SNES game, the name was change was likely because Big Bertha is used for a giant Cheep Cheep. The next enemies are Chow and Forkie, Alley Rat and Armored Ant, Blooper and Star Cruster, Stinger, Geckit and Chained Kong, Rob-omb and Big Blaster, Vomer, Magmus and Pulsar, and last up is a new mimic, Comeon, it has 1200 HP and is weak to Jump attacks, it can use many magic attacks like Flame Wall and Sandstorm, and it can use Mega Recover to heal up, and it can summon a Bahamutt, which is named after a monster from Final Fantasy, and it kind of resembles a draconic Yoshi, it uses fire based attacks and is weak to Ice, and at the end is Star Gun, Geno's best weapon, in the original game, Star Gun and Drill Claw have swapped positions.
Then the Puzzle Courses, one of them has a quiz, a guessing game, and the triathlon winners, and the other has coin collecting, Magic Buttons, and Ball Solitaire, and the rewards from them aren't that good, you get Rock Candy from them. I have decided that the rest of Bowser's Keep will happen in the next video.
