On the Fine Art of Broken BridgesPosted by: GourdCaptain |

While recently playing Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, I ran into a stumbling block that stumped me for an hour. (The rest of this may contain spoilers for the game depending on your definition of spoiler. And your definition of may.)
When the game sent me to look for the third sage with a star cure, I ran through the area known as the Dimble Woods with Mario and Luigi. After encountering the first attack piece in the area, I figured, "Hey, new special attack", and started collecting them. After gathering six of the ten pieces needed to get the attack, I wander into an area where a Wiggler instructs me that due to the recent traumatic events in the forest, I can't go into this area.
Why this particular area, I don't know. Having explored every other area of the forest, I figure the remaining pieces are past Wiggler. He isn't that tall, so I try to jump over him. Unfortunately, he has an impenetrable sky-tall force field he is carrying on his back. He can't be dug under, and although I beat the ever-loving crud out of a Wiggler much earlier in the game, I can't declare Mortal Kombat on him. As such, I am stumped, and spend an hour looking around the woods for a means to bypass him.
