'Say, how did you find us in the courtyard?' Mario asked Bowser while they were heading for the latter's lair. 'Just wanted to kidnap Peach because, well, Bowser business,' the King Koopa replied. 'Wh-What is going on here?' Luigi asked, 'I hear Toad screaming…' 'Oh, I couldn't find Peach so I took Toad away because, well—Bowser business exists?' Bowser replied. 'Well that makes sense,' Mario said, while they have already arrived at the lair. 'God damn it, who brought me here?' Toad said as he woke up from the clown car, annoyed. 'Shut up and go in the lair!' Mario shouted as he threw Toad into it.

After sitting down and taking a rest, 'So, your objective now is to save the guys who have been corrupted by the VHS tapes?' Bowser asked as he ordered a fellow Goomba for some water. 'Yeah. And the VHS originally belonged to someone who described it as "something that will cause chaos", so it's no good right now, especially at least two of our friends have already been corrupted,' Luigi answered. 'I'm not joining for sure,' said Toad, 'You guys go do your business, I'm going to relax here, and nobody can stop—' 'What about a ton of real coins after you finish the mission with us?' Luigi asked. 'Hell yeah!' Toad smiled, 'Ignore what I've just said, we have a deal!'

'Uh, are you sure about that, Luigi?' Bowser asked, shocked. 'Well, at least he can join us,' Luigi answered. 'Anyways, I got gear before we fight with them—' said Bowser before he was interrupted by Toad. 'To fight? No way!' The mushroom screamed. 'I'll double the amount,' said Luigi. 'Deal!' Toad smiled again.

'Remember a few years ago where we played Mushrooms and Morons?' Bowser said as he led the trio to a room, 'I have the exact same gear.' 'That…is…AWESOME!' Mario exclaimed after he saw the shiny gear and wore it. The rest also wore the gear according to their roles in the past. 'Wait, Bowser, how did you get these?' Luigi asked. 'Oh, I bought it from a shop,' Bowser answered.

'Tomorrow night, we will fight the VHS monsters,' said Luigi, 'It'll be like how we played Mushrooms and Morons, but we don't have revives—' 'Actually I can heal,' Bowser interrupted. 'I don't mean by that—I mean, if we all die, that's game over without the chance to restart the game,' Luigi continued, but there was a hand from a spawned hole which pulled him in. 'AAAAHH!' The green plumber screamed. The rest were also pulled into the holes.
