>>5245512>Let the lad feel important. Are we TJ's uncle or something?Kinda. I'm not actually sure what the lore on Koopas is... I guess they spawn from eggs. I did some looking and it looks like Bowser has parents, so the ancient Koopas must have been a prolific race.
>Kam UpgradeYou nabbed it by the skin of your teeth!
>X-Force?They retreated silently, shortly after Sir Grodus's Teleportation. They must have gotten orders we didn't hear.

Bowser takes his turn to make a heart-felt Appeal to his old college roommate. "Crystal King... Crys, if I can still call you that... I'm sorry I ate your peanut butter. It's just that... Chunky is kinda my thing, you know? You should have hid it from me better, you KNOW who I AM..."
In tears, Crystal King apologizes and runs to you to give you a hug, crystal tears in his glowing yellow eyes.
"He's coming right for you, King Bowser!! Watch out!!"
Troopa Jr., tone-deaf as ever, Flame Blasts the Crystal King into a smoldering heap of smithereens!!
You cry a crystal tear of your own...
The Crowd cheers!! Bob-ombs explode eagerly in celebration, Toads make snow angels, and Yoshis frolic with glee.
A large blue Pianta, the only of his race you can see in Shiver Snowfield, approaches you and thanks you for helping handle all the ruckus out here. He gives you a gift for your trouble:
>25 Pianta Parlor Tokens!! Stashed away in Key Items."Name's Frankie Pianta.

Exchange Tokens or Coins for fabulous prizes like Badges, Items, Upgraded Moves, and even Supernova Tokens. We're Toad Town's biggest Supernova Token exchanger! We'll see ya soon. Good day, fellas." He tips his no-hat to you and bows, then does the same to Kammy: "Hag. I take your leave."
Alright!!
