In some cases, after the Paratroopa event triggers in Monstro Town, the Paratroopa will not appear when you go to Land’s End, making you unable to progress in the game.
Workaround for the bug
If you encounter this error, you must go to the Mushroom Kingdom, and then return to Land’s End again. Doing so would make the paratroopers appear as intended.
Notes:
- There is no need to go inside the castle in the Mushroom Kingdom. The glitch must be fixed if you enter the city surrounding the castle.
- It’s a good idea to use the map to travel to the Mushroom Kingdom.
- When returning to Land’s End from the Mushroom Kingdom, you can either use the map or the “To World Map” option.
Nintendo also says it will address the issue permanently with a patch planned for December. We’ll give you a heads up once it’s published.
