Later in the game, while Mario, Goombella, Koops, Flurrie, and the [[Mini-Yoshi]] were searching for the [[Ruby Star]] in [[Creepy Steeple]], the Shadow Sirens planned to ambush them in [[Twilight Town]] and use an explosive item called a [[Superbombomb]] against them. Unfortunately for them, the item was lost, and Beldam, as usual, blamed Vivian for losing the explosive. Mario, having had his name, appearance, and teammates stolen by Doopliss after their first battle with each other, returned to Twilight Town to find a way to defeat him. There he encountered a distraught Vivian, who was fruitlessly searching for the Superbombomb. Mario eventually found the item for Vivian, and after she learned of his current situation, she decided to help him in return, not knowing who he really was. When Mario and Vivian confronted Doopliss back at the steeple after guessing his name correctly, Vivian initially felt betrayed after learning that she had teamed up with her enemy, and left the battle. However, after realizing that Mario had been much nicer to her than either of her sisters had ever been, she re-joined the battle and decided to be part of Mario's team for good. The two finally defeated Doopliss, gaining the Ruby Star and winning back Mario's name and identity in the process. At this point, Mario explained to his hoodwinked-- and rescued-- teammates that Vivian had switched to their side. Afterward, the humiliated Doopliss took Vivian's place as part of the Shadow Sirens after Beldam and Marilyn spotted him back in Twilight Town while looking for Vivian. | Later in the game, while Mario, Goombella, Koops, Flurrie, and the [[Mini-Yoshi]] were searching for the [[Ruby Star]] in [[Creepy Steeple]], the Shadow Sirens planned to ambush them in [[Twilight Town]] and use an explosive item called a [[Superbombomb]] against them.

When Mario and his team returned from [[Keelhaul Key]] after getting the [[Sapphire Star]] from [[Cortez]], Beldam, Marilyn, and Doopliss were sent to find the [[Garnet Star]] in the [[Poshley Sanctum]] in [[Poshley Heights]], and they had to prevent Mario and his friends from reaching the Star during a three-day train trip aboard the [[Excess Express]]. After leaving Mario and his team a message in their cabin that threatened to destroy the train and everyone on it in a "sticky, yummy, explosion", the evil trio would carry out their plan on day two of the voyage: they stole a [[Businessman]]'s [[briefcase]], [[Toodles]]' [[Gold Ring (item)|Gold Ring]], and [[Excess Express waitress|the waitress']] [[Shell Earrings]], and planned to mix them together to blow up the train with Nitro Honey Syrup, which would explode if mixed with the calcium of a seashell and some gold. Beldam and Marilyn even had Doopliss disguise himself as [[Zip Toad]], a famous movie star, so that nobody would suspect that they had committed the crime, instead framing the actor for it. However, before they could fully carry out their plan, Mario and his friends, with [[Pennington]]'s help, managed to crack the case in time and returned the briefcase, the earrings, and the ring to their rightful owners. Following this failure, the Sirens decided to use a different plan that took advantage of the train's routine stop at [[Riverside Station]] to refuel. The villains ordered a horde of [[Smorg]]s to raise the drawbridge at the station to stop the train from leaving. Doopliss also managed to escape custody during this stop. Venturing inside the station, Mario and his friends managed to fend off the Smorgs and lower the drawbridge. Little did they know, just as the train was leaving the station, the creatures managed to stow away in the baggage car of the train. On the morning of day three, the Smorg horde attacked the train and took the passengers hostage. When confronted by Mario and crew on the roof of the train, the Smorgs congealed into a single, massive creature and attacked them. Mario and his friends defeated the monster, rescued the passengers, and made it safely to Poshley Heights. When they reached the sanctum, they discovered that they were too late, as Beldam, Marilyn and Doopliss had beaten them to the Garnet Star. However, Mario and co. eventually discovered that the Star the Shadow Sirens had stolen was a red herring-- a fake created by Pennington-- and they eventually found the real one hidden inside a large painting in the Sanctum. | |||
While Mario and his friends were venturing through the [[Palace of Shadow]], upon opening the secret path to the [[Shadow Queen]]'s lair, the Shadow Sirens ambushed them again and fought them one last time. After Mario and company defeated the three evildoers, they continued on to stop [[Grodus]] from awakening the Shadow Queen. After Grodus awakened the evil queen from her eternal rest (getting destroyed by her in the process), Beldam took full credit for the awakening of the queen. She revealed that she had been orchestrating the Shadow Queen's revival from the very start, and the Shadow Sirens had tricked Grodus into thinking he could control the queen. At the very end of the adventure, after Mario and his team finally defeat the evil queen for good, Beldam and Marilyn told Vivian they would never be mean to her again, and the three settled down peacefully in Twilight Town. | While Mario and his friends were venturing through the [[Palace of Shadow]], upon opening the secret path to the [[Shadow Queen]]'s lair, the Shadow Sirens ambushed them again and fought them one last time.
