Mario chases Peach to the last secret course where Bowser was. He finds her at the end of the course, where Bowser was fought.
Peach tries to be peaceful before she defends herself. "Why? Why are you doing this? We had something special... What about Baby Mario and Baby Luigi?"
Mario remains silent for what seems to be a full minute.
"Mario…"
Mario looks behind him. The guards had all regained consciousness. It was hard for Mario, but he needed to get to his point.
Mario talks slowly. "It... was my intention all along! I always wanted something for saving you from Bowser, but you always gave me something like radios... Granted, after Dinosaur Land, we had two sons, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi, but that's not enough! I wanted power, your power! I wanted to get married... for us to be king and queen... If you valued your life, why didn't you reward me!? You were going to bake a cake, but what kind of reward is that for a hero!?"
Peach was shocked. "Are you trying to overthrow me?" she asked.
Mario laughed. "Bowser told me the truth about you…"
Peach was really shocked. "He couldn't have…"
Mario laughed again. "Yes... He told me of your corruption... You dated Bowser under the disguise of being kidnapped, while me and Luigi broke our bones to save you!"
Peach broke down. "It's true! That's why... I'm... I'm the mother of the Koopalings!
"I've always had my suspicions, but I've always shrugged them off... Now that I know your truth, you shall know mine... Bowser & I... We were a lovely couple!"
Peach couldn't believe her ears.
"... WHAT!?"
