Path of the Plumber is the Spring 2020 special challenge path, introduced on February 15th, 2020. This path adds variant rules and restrictions to an ascension run. Its description in The Bureau of Reincarnation reads "Jump, Hammer and Fireball your way through the Kingdom. Just like a plumber!"
Restrictions
- Class and skills
- None of your permed skills are available.
- You cannot attack. Instead, you can use hammer attacks, fireball attacks or jump attacks, each skill of which has a level between 1 and 3. Equipment purchased at the Mushroom District Gear Shop grants 1-2 levels (1-handed weapons for hammer or fireball, accessories for jump), and the Mushroom District Costume Shop provides the last level. Mushroom District Badge Shop provides passives for a price, while Mushroom District Item Shop offers helpful HP restorers and other things.
- Power Points (shortened to PP) replace MP; however, MP is still accessible for Seek out a Bird.
- PP is fully restored after each battle.
- Consumption
- You have 20 stomach, and receive ~15x the stat points from consuming food.
- You cannot drink booze. The following message is given when one attempts to:
- "You have a zero tolerance policy about alcohol, which is to say that your alcohol tolerance is zero."
- You only have 5 spleen.
- A steel lasagna is received from the Azazel, Ma Belle quest.
- HP
- You cannot restore HP except by using Plumber mushrooms, which are bought in the Mushroom District Item Shop, or by spending 1 adventure at the Save Block.
- Unlike Dark Gyffte, you cannot even passively regain HP from "regenerate X HP per adventure" sources!
- MP
- As mentioned above, you have Power Points instead of MP. Power Points refill at the start of every battle, and are spent to use Plumber-y skills in combat.
- Miscellaneous
- You do not have a main stat. Your highest unbuffed stat is used for determining things pertaining to level.
- Plumbers cannot enter The Sea. Clicking An Old Man gives the following message:
- That shack you saw on the main map was just a picture of a shack drawn on the ground.
- Standard restrictions apply while Path of the Plumber is the current challenge path. These restrictions were lifted on May 15, 2020.
Divergences
- Your adventure begins with Let's, uh, go!.
- Players receive coins at the end of combats, a larger amount at the end of boss fights, and 4 whenever the Powerful Glove produces a pixel.
- Various bosses have been replaced:
- Koopa Paratroopa replaces the Boss Bat in the Level 4 quest.
- Hammer Brother replaces the Goblin King in the Level 5 quest.
- Very Dry Bones replaces the Bonerdagon in the Level 7 quest.
