It's time to strike...
"STRIKE!"
With the word shouted, Mario released the energy from his hands as he unleashed his new attack, the Mario Crystal Star Strike. Rawk Hawk saw it coming this way, but it was too late. The attack hit him as the power grew stronger, which seals him in a huge Crystal Star. Mario ran towards him with his hammer and said the word to complete the attack...
"FINISH!"
And with one final swing from his hammer, the Crystal Star broke and the attack is a success, which sends Rawk Hawk flying! Everyone saw it all as Rawk fell down to the floor. He stood up and said before he fainted, "Whoa! It looks like I'm finished! Thank you for that amazing battle, Mario. You really put up a great fight after these years. Looks like I can't continue with this match and with that, I will say my final words. Rawk on, everyone. Rawk on."
