> Headbutt the mushroom.
> This guy: Enter
You enter the control room. On the big monitor, a mustachioed gentleman wearing a bat mask is displayed. On the small one, a familiar looking box with a question mark drawn on it. The control panel has many buttons and switches, and you guess you should probably not touch them.
You are ambushed by two APRICOT BEETLEs.
> Attack them with your key!
>Be Robluigi, stomp the beetles.
> Next
> This guy: Attack them with your key!
The apricot beetles are slain. Some APRICOT BEETLE JELLY is added to your BEETLIQUID CACHE. When you run out of time, the COLEOURGLASS will automatically fill up with whatever is available.
You put the BIG KEY back to your inventory.
> This guy: Take box from screen
Wow, who knew that would actually work?!
> Bring this chest to your other chest.
> This guy: Bring this chest to your other chest.
Cool. Now you have two locked boxes, but zero keys. The big one doesn't count because it's useless.
> Use parchment on them, because you learned from it, and learning is the key.
> This guy: Stab boxes
Fuck that. This rubber knife is totally useless! It's not even worthy of being the chekhov's gun it would undoubtedly become if you decided to keep it around.
>Next
Enraged, you throw the knife into the monitor.
>Next
A gigantic knife appears!
>Punch it, you're the goddam Batmario!
>Thisguy: Jump through the screen.
>Thisguy: Jump through the screen.
You're not completely comfortable with jumping into an alien dimension without guaranteed means of returning. You decide to pass.
>Door; then see if you can find the other side of that screen.
> Grab the flashlight. Maybe that will be of more use than the knife.
> Grab the flashlight. Maybe that will be of more use than the knife.
Done and done.
> See if any of the doors besides the one you just came from are unlocked.
