Mushroom Kingdom Dungeon, Peach's Castle, World of Trophies
Peach, Little Mac, Greninja, Bowser, and Bowser Jr. all went downstairs into the basement after entering the princess's Castle. Bowser was still relatively limping from his earlier fight with Little Mac, so Bowser Jr. had to support his father with his walking for a little while.
When they all made it to the cells downstairs, it wasn't what Little Mac or Greninja was expecting for a dungeon. The walls were white concrete with large red dots all over them. The jail bars were golden and the seats, tables, and beds that were inside the cells were apparently mushrooms.
"I get that this is the Mushroom Kingdom, but even I think this is a bit overkill." Commented Little Mac.
"I prefer to be more hospitable with my prisoners." Responded Peach.
The group all got to one jail cell that stood out from the rest. It had a reinforced glass wall instead of the usual golden bars. Inside was a black-colored two dimensional person who moved in a strange way.
"So I guess that's Mr Game & Watch?" Asked Little Mac.
"Yeah." Confirmed Peach. "I'm sure he'll recognize me."
The princess then knocks on the glass which gets Mr Game & Watch's attention. He immediately recognizes the princess and is confused to see Bowser and his son with them.
"Don't worry. He's on our side now. He won't try to hurt you anymore." Reassured Peach.
Mr Game & Watch was more than happy to hear about this. Bowser used the key he had for the glass prison to release the 2D fighter from his prison feeling ecstatic to be free again.
"We came to get you because we believe you might be a potential target that Galeem might come for. Probably due to your source of shadow bugs when you were captured by the Subspace Army." Mr. Game & Watch simply nodded and assured that he would stick with them until the defeat of Galeem. Peach then turns her head towards Bowser. "You said you had others captured right?"
"... Yes." Muttered the Koopa King. "They're in here too."
The group made their way to another normal golden barred jail cell. Inside that cell was a green colored lizard with a small red shell and orange shoes. He was sitting down on the mushroom table eating a fruit. Peach immediately recognized him as Yoshi. The dinosaur that helped Mario on his adventures time and time again.
"Yoshi! Why are you in here?" Asked Peach with curious intent.
"I captured him after he took out a good chunk of my underlings. I have to admit, he put up a good fight." Said Bowser.
Bowser then took out another key which freed Yoshi. The first thing the dinosaur did was hug Peach. However, he showed a bit of hostility when he saw Bowser and his son.
Like Peach did with Mr Game & Watch, she reassured Yoshi that Bowser and his forces made a truce with the Mushroom Kingdom and their allies to focus their combined firepower on Galeem. After Yoshi heard that explanation, he was more than willing to join the group of fighters.
The group went to the last cell, and it wasn't someone Peach, Little Mac, or Greninja was expecting.
The person inside this cell was an obese individual with tattered biker gear. He was taller than Mario and was a bit on the flatulent side, complete with a large pink nose and a strange looking mustache. He was currently lying down on the mushroom bed, snoring louder than Bowser's roar.
"I don't know if we should free him." Said Peach skeptically. "Mario and I haven't really had the best history with him." The princess then turned toward Bowser. "What was he in for?"
"My son caught him attempting to steal the riches in the castle vault from under our noses." Answered Bowser. "Obviously he didn't succeed."
The Princess then decided to knock her parasol against the jail bars, creating a loud sound. "Hey Wario! Wake up!"
The obese man then woke up and sat on the mushroom bed. "So… you've-a returned princess. Those-a guys weren't-a really all that hospitable with-a me simply paying a visit here."
"Enough of that. I don't know if you know what's going on. I may regret this, but… we need your help." Demanded the princess apprehensively.
"And why do you need-a my help? Don't you have enough-a people?" Said Wario apathetically. "I don't-a want any part of whatever goody two shoes plans you guys-a have for me."
Little Mac was getting mad and walked up to the bars. "Listen here, dirtbag! We need all the help we can get if we want to save not only this planet, but the whole freaking universe! One person makes all the difference here!"
"Nice-a try short stuff, but my answer is-a still no." Answered Wario.
Bowser then decides to speak up. "So you'd rather spend the rest of your life stuck in a jail cell? Even I know that's a cruel fate."
"I'll find a way to escape. I always-a do." Said Wario as he broke eye contact and turned his back.
Peach then thought up of an idea. "Okay. I know how much you like riches right?"
"Yeah. Always." Confirmed Wario.
"What if you help us, and in return, you get to have half of the riches in the Mushroom Kingdom vault. Complete with your freedom." Proposed the princess.
Everyone in the hallway was caught off guard at what Peach proposed to Wario.
"Are you kidding me? You can't just throw away valuable money like that!" Whispered Little Mac into Peach's ear.
"It's fine. Mario and Luigi get tons of coins from their adventures. They put half of them in the vault in an act of heroic kindness. It'll be back up to its original size in a couple months." Responded Peach.
"So what do you say Wario? Will you help us and stop Galeem?" Asked Peach a final time.
"Okay fine. I'm-a gonna help you." Said Wario reluctantly. "Now let-a me out of this-a cell already!"
Bowser did what Wario requested and unlocked his cell. "No tricks." Demanded the Koopa King. "Otherwise, you'll have to deal with me."
Wario only responded with a scoff and some reluctance.
"Now that everyone's free and with us, where do you suggest we go next?" Asked Little Mac.
"I have a suggestion." Said Bowser. "Me and my army were doing some research on my own after that light thing happened and found a large source of energy that Galeem might take for himself."
"What's this power look like?" Asked Little Mac.
"It's a giant living eel-like creature that produces enough electricity to power an entire city. A couple of my magikoopa spies saw this creature firsthand." Continued the Koopa King.
Little Mac then speaks up. "I believe what he's saying. I also believe there's a very likely chance Galeem may get it soon."
"Then we need to head over there as soon as possible." Said Peach. "Bowser, get all your airships loaded while we fire up the Odyssey. We'll be heading to this new city to defend it from Galeem."
The group then exited from the castle and immediately got to work rallying the troops and prepping the ships.
