Paper Mario: Sticker Star -- 3-10 Stump Glade

There's no sign of the segment here. All there is is a large tree stump with a hole in it. We drop down, thankfully without losing our stickers. But, it's dark here. Kersti mentions that there must be a light somewhere and a spotlight shines on us. Someone says, "LAAAAADIES AAAAAAND GENTLEBUDDIES! So VERY sorry to keep you waiting! We've got a great show for you folks. That's right! It's time to play... SNIFIT OR...WHIFFIT!" The lights turn on and we're part of a game show. The show involves three "riveting" challenges. The audience is made of Snifits and they're not too fond of Mario. If we win, we win the Wiggler segment. We are given the option to participate, so we shall. There's no guarantee of survival, but we're up to the challenge.

The first challenge is Pick-and-Choose Panic. Answer the question by hitting either the green block with the check mark for yes or the red block with the X for no. The room will fill with poison gas, so we must be quick.
Question 1: Koopas, Paratroopas, and Lakitus can all fly. False.
Question 2: To swing the hammer, press (Y). False.
Question 3: There are currently 30 Snifits in the audience. True.
Question 4: When you get a Super Star, you are temporarily invincible. True.
Question 5: When you use a Mushroom Sticker, Mario gets bigger. False.

We only need three correct answers. For the next challenge, the floor drops out from under our feet and we land in another dark room. The challenge is Big Bonking Snifit Bash. Unpaid Snifit interns will poke their heads out of the holes in the ground. We need to hit 20 of them with our Hammer in a room of poison. Periodically, hearts will pop out of the holes. Hit them to restore health. It takes a little while, but we complete the challenge. The floor drops out once again.

The final challenge is Unrelentingly Exciting Shuffle Game. Three blocks dectorated with stars appear. The correct answer (a check mark) is in one of them. The blocks will be shuffled. Then we choose a block. We need to hit the correct block 3 times. If we hit the wrong block, we battle a Snifit. No poison gas and the blocks move slowly in the first round. We get a heart. The second round moves faster, but is still doable. The final round adds another block. Somehow after some fast-moving shuffling for a longer time, I hit the correct block. If you're having difficulty, just watch which block Mario follows. He'll be looking at the correct block the entire time. The host Snifit wonders if we're not part Snifit. The segment joins us. The floor drops out once again to drop us where the comet piece is.

The host appears and says if we clear another challenge, we get another prize. We'll take the challenge. It's Big-Bonking-Panic-Pick-And-Choose Snifit Bash. We have to answer a question using the blocks as before, but first have to hit 5 unpaid Snifit interns. And there's poison gas to deal with.
Question 1: Bowser is Bowser Jr.'s father and Princess Peach is his mother. False.
Question 2: There are 30 Snifits in the audience. True.
Question 3: Kamek can fly through the sky. He rides on a broom. True.

Not too difficult. The floor drops down to a room with a large present. There's heat coming out of it. We unwrap the gift to reveal the 3D Radiator. The pipe takes us to the room with the comet piece. There's a door drawn here. The Secret Door leads to coins and the Square Can. The path to 3-7 opens up and the segment runs to 3-2.
