GuyThatExists: /* Drew */ Thank you Clayblob all the way back in 2013 for adding this to the page because it's correct and i just checked. Boo TemporalApparition for removing it even though it was true (I don't blame you it was 2014 no one had a uDraw and there's no info about Dood's anywhere)

GuyThatExists: /* {{IconSVG|Trivia}} Trivia */ Updating Trivia section and separating general Hero trivia from Drew's trivia. I also added a piece of trivia about the name Sparky, since its a pretty substantial piece of DTL Fandom trivia. If we want to go back to a unified Trivia page, either let me know or simply remove the subheaders.

 In the Wii sequel, the Hero returns when [[Village Bridge|many]] [[Isaac's Door|village]] [[Windmill Blade|objects]] go missing. The Hero is first sent into [[Jangala]] to find [[Zsasha]], whom the villagers believe is behind the missing objects, but after helping the [[Monkey King]] rid the [[Treetop Village]] of [[Shadow]], the villagers believe that [[Wilfre]] had returned. Now sent into [[Shadow City]] to do recon for Mari and [[Circi]], Mari's deputy mayor, the Hero defeats [[Boss]], a massive ink creature that Wilfre had supposedly created. After this fight, the Hero returns with [[Wilfre's Journal]], documenting his plan to steal the [[Artifacts of Power]] to take down the [[Creator]] once and for all.
-The Hero is then sent into the [[Icy Wastes]] to find the [[Eternal Furnace]], the next Artifact of Power. As the Hero journeys deeper into the Wastes, they find that a mysterious [[Circi|Shadowy Figure]] had stolen the Furnace already. The Hero is then informed that Wilfre's Shadow army is closing in on the [[Tree of Ages]], which held the final Artifact of Power. The Hero manages to save the Tree from the Shadow and collects the final Artifact - [[Branches from the Tree of Ages]]. However, when returning to the village, Circi reveals that she had been behind the Shadow and that Wilfre was still deceased. When Circi combines all the collected Artifacts to create the [[Dark Mannequin]], she attempts to draw Wilfre onto it but had forgotten what he looked like, accidentally creating the [[Giant Scribble Monster]]. The Hero defeats the monster and the village is saved once more.
