Muahahaha! WELL... looks like quite a few people left, huh? Oh well. That's less people to deal with when I become King of this place. I think that girl with the second Star Rod was one of 'em, but, hah. That hardly matters now...

Since Mario's not around, and I've still got the Star Rod, it shouldn't take me long to turn this into a new kingdom! Then maybe I'll make that woman do something useful instead of tripping me.

THAT BROAD!

GRAH... she was such a great hostage, yet she escaped with MY Koopa Clown car! Sure, I wished for a new one, but this is ridiculous! And HOW did she get that gun?! I may be invincible with the Star Rod, but her and her cheap distractions...

[sound of roaring]

And she TRIPPED me! She's got as much nerve as Mario... even Toadstool didn't try to pull fast ones!

...Hrmph. Then again, it's just one set back. That's hardly a defeat.

Muahahaha... looks like nobody cares enough to come rescue that woman. Well, I've been challenged by some girl, but that's hardly a decent rescue attempt when I'll be fighting her in the hotel.

Even Mario would be better than this! I'm growing impatient with this all, and I'm just about to take more serious action. Sure, keeping some broad locked up in a room works, but if that's not enough persuasion, I'll have to up things...

But for now I'll wait. Let's see if anyone really wants to be heroic.
