After a long day of tennis, kart racing, and shunning Waluigi's existence, the motley crew of usual suspects make their way to Princess Peach's castle courtyard to watch fireworks and mingle with the citizenry of the Mushroom Kingdom.
Emissaries and representatives of nearly all towns are represented, from Glitzville to Twilight Town to Lavalava Island, everyone playing minigames in perfect harmony.
In the thick of the party, a meteor shower occurs right above, lighting up the sky with a magnificent glow of falling stars, which mostly goes ignored, until one comes plummeting down, square into Luigi's head, knocking him over!
The shooting star begins... Rising!
About 8 inches in diameter and an inch and a half thick, and made of a celestially glowing material, it turns around to reveal a face! A babylike visage with a single tooth and little, pinchable star cheeks. It looks at the floored Luigi, still reeling, then around at the crowd he has garnered, then nervously back at Luigi for a second, then floats to Princess Peach and addresses her directly.
"Princess Peach! My father is in dire need! You remember Twink, right?"
"..." -Peach
"The star that helped you out when you were kidnapped?"
". . ." Peach frowns and makes a funny face, as if trying to recall.
"He recently became a Star Spirit?!?! For crying out loud, Princess!" The star kid tries again.
"!" Peach says, acknowledging her old friend.
"Well I am his son, Lil Twink. I was sent here by Big Twink because the Star Spirits are in danger! On top of Eldar dying last year of Spirit Supernova from old age; Muskular, Kalmar, Misstar and Klevar have all gone missing! Big Twink and the remaining Star Spirits fear the worst, and are worried that they are next!"
The recently lively party is now sullen, afraid of what it would mean if the Star Spirits were taken advantage of again for evil purposes.
"But I bring good news!" Lil Twink says. "We have determined that Muskular was last seen not too far from here, helping adventurers in Mt. Rugged. We need someone to go and help Muskular and the other Star Spirits!"
Everyone stands still, a few people glance back and forth. Doctor Mario coughs once into his glove.
"...Sigh... Of course, the Star Spirits are bound by their code of duty to help whoever is noble enough to help them out by granting them amazing wishes beyond their wildest dreams." Lil Twink says, deflated.
The posh crowd erupts into a frenzied mob, with some ambitious or desperate questers running straight in the direction of Mt. Rugged, no doubt blindly enchanted by the offer of the Star Spirits' awesome power.
