Waffle Kingdom

The Waffle Kingdom is a far away land that Luigi visits during the events of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The Waffle Kingdom is ruled by the beautiful Princess Éclair and her cabinet.

After Mario leaves home to find Peach in the town of Rogueport, Luigi is once again left alone. However, a letter arrives for the Mario Bros. which Luigi can’t resist to peak at. The letter was from Crepe, the Minister of the Waffle Kingdom. According to the letter, the lovely Princess Éclair was kidnapped by the vile Chestnut King and the kingdom needed assistance from the great hero Mario. However, since Mario was not around, Luigi went in his place.

When Luigi arrives in the Waffle Kingdom, he is given a piece of the Marvelous Compass. If all the pieces could be collected, Luigi would be able to track down Princess Éclair. After much toil and trouble (and quite a bit of luck), Luigi collects all the pieces, and heads to Hatesong Tower to find the princess. However, he actually finds the evil Chestnut King, and the two engage in an epic battle. Ultimately Princess Éclair appears and interrupts the battle. Apparently, the princess and the Chestnut King were lovers but the king was transformed into a monster by Minister Crepe, who was in fact a dark sorcerer. As it turns out, Crepe had orchestrated events so that Luigi would reassemble the Magical Compass for him. Once he had the compass, Crepe would use its power to conquer the Waffle Kingdom, saying “the Luff empire will rise again.” However, Luigi and his allies defeat the shadowy Crepe. As a result, peace is returned to the Waffle Kingdom.
