A very sick looking Birdo tugs Doctor Mario's sleeve and looks deep into his eyes, her own face and eyelids sagging in wishful agony. As if to say, "Doctor Mario, maybe the Star Spirits can cure my stage 6 terminal brain cancer". Doctor Mario rests a hand on Birdo's slender, pink shoulder, looks down, then looks up right in her eye, gives her a nod, and then they, too, are running off to help the Star Spirits.
"By George! With the help of the arcane Star Spirits, maybe we can finally unlock the secrets of life and death, my dear Luigi!" Professor E. Gadd garbles out in his mess of words, but Luigi understands. With a lump on his head from Lil Twink's crash, he shakes his head and backs away, not interested in being dragged away in another adventure. E. Gadd merely tugs Luigi's ear and shouts "No time to waste, Luigi boy!"
From the edge of the party, "WHA- ANOTHER CHANCE AT THE STAR SPIRITS?!" Bowser slaps Kammy Koopa on the back of her head, sending her spinning in a circle on her puttering, floating witch's broom: "What are you doing still hovering there??! Summon my Koopa Clown Copter immediately!!" Kammy, still smarting from Bowser's blow, with a hand to her head, awkwardly croaks out: "Uh- about that, Your Nastiness. It's still in the shop. . ." Bowser explodes with fury, breathing fire on a nearby Toad, scorching his head, and lifting Kammy above his head, running out of the castle courtyard, once again after the Star Spirits for his own nefarious purposes.
Peach says to Lil Twink: "Oh that's awful, I hope no baddies like Bowser get hold of the Star Spirits again. I don't think I could handle being kidnapped and taken to yet another castle!" Lil Twink is silent for a minute, then flatly says "Look, not to be a dick or anything, but this isn't really about you, you stuck-up skank. The world is at risk again. . . Will you help my Dad and the Star Spirits for the benefit of the world or not?" Peach looks towards her lavish, pink castle, then the opposite way towards the arduous, rocky trail to Mt. Rugged in the distance. "Why, I could wish for another castle!" Peach says in delight. Lil Twink, gritting his teeth and shutting his eyes: "Yeah. Uh huh. Sure. Whatever. Why not. Now let's GO!!"
In minutes, the entire castle courtyard is empty, save for one Toad, snoring in the fountain.
