Painting Portal

Painting Portal is an option in Completing the Mission during the Special BROvert Ops pathway.

Henry can use this option in an attempt to get across the Hall of Fame in the Toppat Orbital Station. When chosen, Henry Stickmin enters a painting portal of a portrait of Jaques Kensington, a previous leader and falls onto a platform with the leader next to him. Kensington shoots Henry right in the chest, automatically defeating him, which results in a fail.

Fail Message
Gotta collect more of those extra life mushrooms.

Trivia

 * The entire scene is a recreation of "Bowser in the Dark World," a level from Super Mario 64. The Mario 64 mission select screen, the heads-up display, and the "iris out" upon Henry's death are also recreated. Henry takes the place of Mario, even saying Mario's famous phrase "Let's-a go!" and Jaques takes the place of Bowser as the supposed boss fight.
 * Extra Lives, also called 1-up Mushrooms, are reoccurring items in the Super Mario franchise.
