LEVEL 31 · Story Mode

Mechanical Snowfield (Suburbs)

The moving tiles have carried us into the suburbs. We're closer to the city now, yet somehow this place is less lively than the outskirts. Power Peony finds that deeply puzzling.

Level brief

The moving tiles have carried us into the suburbs. We're closer to the city now, yet somehow this place is less lively than the outskirts. Power Peony finds that deeply puzzling.

Snowbloom Palace, where BISHOP resides, is drawing closer. We can make out the city's skyline in the distance. Once we cross the suburbs and pass through the city, we'll finally reach the palace.

But first, let's finish the fight here!

    Huh? Why bring that up all of a sudden?

    In the previous timeline, you went there with us.

    I want to know what you did in this timeline.

    Power Peony

    Wiremoss and the others came to get me and asked me to go there.

    When you went, were zombies invading the suburbs and Snowbloom Palace (Building A)?

  7. 6
    Power Peony

    No. Why?

  8. 7
    ——

    ...In the previous timeline, both places were being invaded at this point.

  9. 8
    ——

    You were a huge help when we fought the zombies pushing those wheels.

  10. 9
    CD-shroom

    So Magnet-shroom's actions might be connected to those zombie invasions in Mechanical Snowfield?

  11. 10
    ——

    Hard to say. When we met Magnet-shroom in the previous timeline, he was also volunteering at Snowbloom Palace.

  12. 11
    Power Peony

    If that's true, there should be a record inside this little statue.

  13. 12

    It might even show us how Magnet-shroom defeated all those zombies!

    Magnet-shroom... really did go fight those zombies. It just... didn't go very well.

  2. 1
    (monologue)

    (What are all those scattered shapes in the background of the memory...?)

  3. 2
    Power Peony

    Magnet-shroom... How could this... The clock is broken, too...

  4. 3
    CD-shroom

    Peony, don't. Don't assume the worst.

  5. 4
    CD-shroom

    We still have two more places to visit. Things are bound to take a turn for the better.

  6. 5
    ——

    But now we know Magnet-shroom really did go fight the invasion after switching timelines.

  7. 6
    ——

    He helped Rose fight the zombies at Snowbloom Palace in the previous timeline, probably for the same reason.

  8. 7
    ——

    I'm afraid Peony would have had a hard time reaching Snowbloom Palace if he hadn't fought these zombies.

  9. 8
    ——

    Peony was with us in the previous timeline, so Magnet-shroom only had to help clear Snowbloom Palace (Building A).

  10. 9
    CD-shroom

    But in this timeline, almost the entire team went to The Pond.

  11. 10
    CD-shroom

    Wiremoss, Enzymei, and Rose couldn't clear the zombies along the way on their own.

  12. 11
    Power Peony

    So Magnet-shroom needed the second clock to hold back the invading zombies.

  13. 12
    (monologue)

    (But why didn't Magnet-shroom tell Wiremoss and the others and go with them?)

  14. 13
    (monologue)

    (Even if Wiremoss and Enzymei needed to go talk to BISHOP and Peony,)

  15. 14
    (monologue)

    (surely he should have at least contacted Rose, the second-in-command at Snowbloom Palace?)

  16. 15
    CD-shroom

    But how would the second clock let him deal with those invading zombies?

  17. 16
    CD-shroom

    Magnet-shroom isn't exactly good at fighting.

  18. 17
    ——

    A lot of those zombies claimed to be building legitimate machines as a pretext for making perpetual-motion machines.

  19. 18
    ——

    Obviously, none of them were really perpetual-motion machines. They were more like combat machines.

  20. 19
    ——

    That wheel, the magnet truck, and the hamster VR rig gave us plenty of trouble back then.

  21. 20
    Power Peony

    Huh? What do those three have to do with perpetual-motion machines?

  22. 21
    CD-shroom

    Judging by Peony's reaction, Magnet-shroom has already put a stop to those perpetual-motion machines.

  23. 22

    Let's go to the next location. I want to test these theories further.
