Eternal Fort (beta) is an area and alternate final boss arena in B3313.

Description

The player spawns on a blue platform, in front of several platforms in lava, which lead to a larger platform with 2 mines. Next to that is the smaller, circular arena where Bowser resides.

Origins

The area's layout seems to be an original creation, with textures taken from the beta version of Super Mario 64.

The area's music is a soundtrack made by Bobstar.

Stars

This area has 1 star to collect:

• (v1.0.2) Defeat Bowser to collect the Grand Star, which now adds to the player's star count. (This star shares the same id as Eternal Fort.)

Warps

Leading here

• (v0.9+) Peach's Floor: Enter the hole at the end of the Boo hallway (rare occurrence).
• (v0.7) Randomized Realm: Jump into the pipe at the end of the linear section.

Leading away

• (v1.0+) Beginnings: Defeat Bowser and collect the Grand Star.
• (Christmas Build-v0.9) Monochrome Castle Grounds: Defeat Bowser and collect the Grand Star.
• (v0.4.7-v0.7) Plexal Lobby: Defeat Bowser and collect the Grand Star.
• Randomized Realm: Die to Bowser or fall off to the void.

Routes

Note that this section lists only the shortest routes to the area.

Dialogue

Defeating Bowser:

YOU'LL PAY
FOR THIS...
LATER!

Defeating Bowser with 120 stars collected:

I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS MEANT TO BE MY WORLD. . .

MY EVERLASTING KINGDOM! YOU'VE REALLY BEATEN ME THIS TIME.

I CAN'T STAND LOSING TO YOU! I'M OUTTA HERE!

JUST YOU WAIT UNTIL NEXT TIME.

BWAAHAHA!

Bowser in v0.5.6:

LUIGI! YOU AGAIN! I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR SOMETHING

TO FRY WITH MY FIRE BREATH! YOUR FRIENDS ARE ALL

TRAPPED WITHIN THEIR WALLS. . . JUST LIKE YOU. THE ONE

CONTROLLING HIM. . . YOU'LL NEVER SEE THE PRINCESS

AGAIN! BWA HA HA HA!

Bowser in v0.4.7:

Luigi! You again!

Well that's just fine--I've been looking for something to fry with my fire breath!

Your Star Power is useless against me! Your friends are all trapped within their own walls...

Just like you. Not Luigi, You. You'll never see the Princess again! Bwa ha ha!

Changelog

• v1.0.2
  • Collecting the Grand Star after defeating Bowser will add to the player's star count.
• Christmas Build
  • Collecting the Jumbo Star after defeating Bowser warps the player to Monochrome Castle Grounds. (Previously played ending cutscene in a version of the castle before killing the player)
• v0.7
  • Added extra bombs to the main platform. Previously there was only 1 bomb.
• v0.4.7
  • Eternal Fort (beta) added.

Trivia

• Before v0.7, defeating Bowser was much trickier, since there was only one bomb on the main platform, and the ones on the small platform can easily knock Bowser off the stage, which can nullify the hit and potentially turn the battle endless with no bombs left.
