Dry Bowser was still in Corona Mountain, having collected all of the blue coins as he reached the ending point of the volcano, looking up to see the dark clouds puffing up in the air.

"Hmm. I wonder how Bowser and Bowser Jr. managed to have that giant pool of green poisonous goop at the crater," Dry Bowser commented as he nodded his head, rubbing his skeletal chin with his right skeletal hand.


Gooper Blooper was extending his tentacles as he was resting on the top of the Noki Bay, where he fought and lost to Mario for the third and final time during Mario's first vacation there. Two Bloopers were there, flailing their own tentacles about as they turned to Gooper Blooper.

"Is there any reason for us to be up here, other than nostalgia?" The first generic Blooper asked.

The second Blooper bounced in agreement. "Yeah, there's not much reason to be up here."

Gooper Blooper chuckled as he moved his front tentacles about. "Of course. To enjoy the nice, sunny weather from the top of this bay." He replied, stretching out his rear tentacles.

The two Bloopers gave each other odd concerning looks as Gooper Blooper continued moving his tentacles about.
