Daisy did gain that confidence very quickly! Gotta go fast!

I tied in the cutscene to build up hype! And now that buildup is about to pull off.

I'm sorry that you didn't get to spend the rest of high school with PE. I guess there wasn't room for it in your schedule. Oh well. You could always play it with a friend.

Bowser is totally getting his butt kicked!

Well, definitely finish the rest of the chapters before reading this grand finale. It'll make this battle all the more satisfying. Go ahead and do it. I'll be waiting!
Last time… our heroes got separated and had to endure their own obstacle courses that tested out their skills, before finally reuniting for the final battle against Bowser and his bratty son.
Bowser Jr.: Hey! I'm not bratty! I'm awesome!
Yeah, sure. Whatever you say, kid. Anyways, let's see what happens now!
Corona Mountain
Mario: Excuse me?! WE disturbed YOUR "family" vacation?!
Daisy: I'm smelling hypocrisy. Am I right?
Mario: Let's take a minute to think about perspectives, Bowser. Me, Luigi, and Peach's family were all just trying to enjoy a relaxing vacation, but then you followed us, and made your son frame us for a serious crime, kidnap Peach, made us clean up he and his friends dirty work, and then we beat them up, all while you just sat here in your hot tub full of… Seriously, what even is that stuff? Anyways, like Daisy said, you're a downright hypocrite if you think we ruined your vacation when your son ruined ours in the first place!
Bowser: Oh yeah?! Well, you guys deserved to get locked up and have your vacation ruined after you stole my wife from me!
Luigi: Peach is not your wife, Bowser! She would never marry someone like you!
Bowser: Oh, really? Then why did she have a kid with me?
Daisy took a glance at Bowser Jr., then at Peach, then back and forth.
Daisy: Yeah, no. There's no resemblance between those two at all. Why would you lie to your own son?!
Bowser: I would never lie to my son! Isn't that right Junior? You know your old man is an honest one, right?
Junior nervously looked up to his father. He wanted to call out to his father and demand the truth from him, but he was also worried about the possible consequences of doing so. So he just gave in.
Bowser Jr.: *sigh* Yes, papa. You'd never lie to me.
Junior felt shameful saying that, but was too afraid to stand up for himself.
Bowser: See? That settles it! Peach is Junior's mother and is in no way related to any of you. You just stole her from me and made her think that way. You and your pals should've stayed in prison, Mario. Because now, I'm gonna make sure this will be your LAST vacation!
Mario: I'd like to see you try!
Peach: Mario, wait!
Mario looks over to Peach sitting on the rubber duck. She points towards Aqua, who was shivering at her feet, crying. She was not only scared, but was also getting flashbacks of Bowser murdering the King and Queen right in front of her. The day she was mentally scarred. This was the first time she saw Bowser since that day, and it horrified her to seemingly no end.
Mario, seeing poor Aqua in that state, got even angrier being reminded of what Peach told her back on the plane and turned back to Bowser.
Mario: Oh yeah… I almost forgot…
Bowser: Oh, what's wrong? Are you gonna give Peach and Junior a DNA test to prove whether they're related or not? Well, that ain't happening as long as…
Mario: SHUT UP!
Everyone in the room, even Bowser jumped back at Mario's sudden burst of anger.
Mario: Peach told me about something you did, Bowser. Something you did 2 years ago, before we met.
Bowser: What are you talking about, plumber?
Mario: DON'T PLAY DUMB WITH ME, YOU HYPOCRITICAL DECEPTIVE EXCUSE FOR A FATHER! I'm talking about when you assassinated King George and Queen Rosemary of the Mushroom Kingdom! Not only did you cause a very HUGE loss for the kingdom…
Mario went over and comforted Aqua while still being angry with Bowser.
Mario: ...but you also SCARRED this poor little girl for life! She was FOUR at the time you did that, and it was way too much for her little mind to handle!
Luigi: Goes to show how terrible of a role model you are towards children.
Both Daisy and Bowser Jr. were dumbfounded. Daisy because of the fact that Peach actually told them that, and Junior because he couldn't believe his father actually did that.
Bowser: You think I care about some kid that isn't even mine? If anything, she shouldn't have been born in the first place if George knew I would terrify her.
That insult made Aqua cry even more and the others had enough.
Daisy: How dare you?!
Mario: Oh, that's it! Bring it on, Koopa!
Bowser: YOU'LL REGRET TRYING TO DAMAGE MY FAMILY VACATION! YOU'LL ALL BURN!
Bowser released a stream of flames over the pool before going face to face with the four. He started to breath out flames, but Mario, not sure what to do, decided to spray water in Bowser's eyes. This irritated him.
Bowser: Ow! Ow! Get that out of my face!
Bowser Jr: Hey! Leave my papa alone, you bully!
Junior fired Bullet Bills out of a boat he was sitting in and fired them towards the heroes. Mario took them out, while Luigi gave Junior a taste of his own medicine by grabbing a Bullet Bill and shooting it right back at him.
Junior screeched in pain while feeling the burn on his cheek from that impact.
Bowser: SON! You'll PAY for that!
Before Luigi knew it, Bowser spat out a blast of flames in his direction, drenching him in the flames.
Luigi: YAAAAAAAAAHH! HOT HOT HOT!
Mario, Aqua, and Daisy: LUIGI!
Mario sprayed Luigi to cool him down while Daisy faced Bowser in rage.
Daisy: YOU will pay for that, you hideous creature!
Bowser was clearly offended by that.
Bowser: How DARE you?! Now I'm gonna do what I should've done to you and your cowardly sister two years ago!
Aqua couldn't take the emotional torture this evil king was giving her. She knew she had to do something, but she had no idea what.
Aqua: (I need to help… but how?)
Daisy: Ha! Try to catch me!
Daisy grabbed the others and sped around the arena at a speed too fast for both koopas to keep up.
Mario: We need a plan! How are we gonna defeat them?
FLUDD scanned around the arena and looked around for weaknesses, luckily he managed to find one in each of the five platforms protruding from the tub!
FLUDD: I got it! Guys, those five platforms protruding from the hot tub are what keep this tub balanced. If you could take them all out with a powerful ground pound, that should do the trick!
Mario: Great plan, FLUDD! In that case, let's combine our strengths to take down those platforms.
Luigi, Daisy, and Aqua: Got it!
Bowser: You idiots can't run forever!
Bowser Jr.: Yeah! Fight us!
Peach: (C'mon, guys. I know you can do it!)
Mario and the others ventured over to the symbol and combined their pound ground strength to destroy it. This made the hot tub crack tremendously, sending some hot water out of the tub. Bowser, Junior, and Peach felt the impact of it. Peach held on tightly as the rubber ducky swayed violently from the impact, not wanting to be boiled alive.
Peach: Eeek! Please be careful!
Bowser Jr.: Whoa!
Daisy: Sorry sis!
FLUDD: That seems to be effective. Keep doing that about four more times.
Mario: Got it!
Aqua: Um… guys? WE'RE FALLING!
Luigi grabbed all of them and used the rocket nozzle to get them back to the tub.
Aqua: Phew! Thanks Luigi!
Luigi: Don't mention it.
Bowser was still surprised about the impact Mario and Co. caused.
Bowser: Wha- Wha- WHAT DID YOU JUST DO?!
Aqua: Well, let's just say this will really 'flip you over'!
The others laughed at that joke before heading for the next platform. Bowser Jr shot out more bullet bills, but they were in vain because Mario jumped into the air and sprayed a blast of water out, destroying them all and even hitting Bowser Jr.
Bowser Jr: MY EYES!
Bowser: You leave my son alone!
Bowser took extreme measures and pound grounded the floor, sending hot water flying out of the tub. Luigi managed to grab the rest in time and fly out of the way. However, a drop of the green substance did hit FLUDD.
The four reached the second platform.
Mario: Peach! Hold on tight!
Peach did so as Mario and Co. pound grounded the second platform to make the arena shake. Luigi sent the others back up.
FLUDD: Three more times!
Bowser: St-Stop that! You're disbalancing the tub!
Daisy: That's what we're trying to do, Koop for brains!
Bowser knew this wasn't looking good. So he took out his huge fist and tried to swat them like flies, but much like flies, the heroes were persistent and dodged every attempted swat with Luigi's Rocket nozzle. However, Luigi wasn't paying attention to his water tank. It was now half full.
Getting to the third platform, pound grounding that made more hot water pile on FLUDD. His systems were having a hard time handling the extreme temperatures.
FLUDD: J-Just two m-more times, my friends!
Aqua noticed FLUDD's stutterings and looked concerned.
Aqua: FLUDD, are you okay?
FLUDD: I'm… f-fine. D-Don't worry about m-me.
Aqua didn't believe FLUDD was "fine" but knew she had to focus on the battle. So she decided to worry about it later.
Bowser: You IDIOTS! If you tip the tub, you'll fall down with me!
Mario: Don't worry about us! Worry about you and your son! Like a GOOD father!
Bowser breathed fire while Junior shot out more bullet bills. Mario sprayed water at Bowser to make him stop while Daisy took out the bullet bills.
Bowser: Gah! Why do you insist on ruining our family vacation?!
Daisy: Peach is not a part of your family, Bowser!
Luigi: Yeah! Stop lying to your son, and stop lying to yourself!
After retorting to Bowser, the four pound grounded the fourth platform and more hot water spewed in FLUDD. He was beginning to short circuit at this point.
FLUDD: There...is...one...more...p...p...place.
Aqua was getting really worried now.
Aqua: FLUDD, are you SURE you're okay? Do you need a break?
FLUDD: N...No...just...f...f...finish...this.
Aqua nodded, thinking that she should check him after this was all over.
Bowser: This is not over!
Bowser once again pound grounded the tub. Luigi tried to rocket out of the way and save everyone from the incoming wave. But nothing came out.
Daisy: What's wrong?!
Luigi: I'm out of water!
Mario: NO!
Mario saw the huge wave coming in and knew none of them could jump over it, so he decided to pick up Aqua.
Aqua: Mario, what are you-?!
Mario: Without hesitation, Mario chucked her up into the air as he, Luigi and Daisy were engulfed in the water wave.
Aqua: AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
She fell back to the floor with a thud. When she got back up, she and Peach screamed to see Mario, Luigi, and Daisy on the floor with first degree burns on their skin.
Peach: NOOOOOOOOOO!
Bowser: Bwahahahaha!
Bowser Jr.: Nice one, Papa!
The two plumbers and the Sarasaland Princess could feel the burns all over their bodies. It hurt to even move.
Luigi: A… A… Ow! It hurts… can't move.
Daisy: *groan*...So bad…
Aqua was tearing her eyes out seeing her friends in this state. It reminded her of when she saw her father's corpse just lying there after Bowser murdered him. At least here, Mario and Co. were still alive, but they were injured badly. Plus, Bowser knew this was an opportunity to finish them off.
Aqua: Mario… Luigi… Daisy… you-you've got to get up! PLEASE!
Mario slowly turned his head to see Aqua's teared up face. It pained him to see her this way, especially after remembering what Bowser did to him before.
Mario: A-A-Aqua… R… Run Amico.
But she didn't want to run. Not this time. She didn't want to look like a coward. But then she saw FLUDD and remembered his stuttering from earlier. Now he looked to be short circuiting.
Aqua: F… F… FLUDD?
FLUDD turned his head over to the Lake Kingdom's princess. His sensors were highly damaged, his memories seemed to be smoldering, there was even a screen at the bottom right corner saying 'GAME OVER', however he was still able to recognize Aqua's face.
FLUDD: P...P...Princess…
Aqua: What? *sniff* Wh...at is it… FLUDD?
FLUDD: Aqua…was I…of…assis… tance…?
And just like that, FLUDD shut down for good.
Aqua: No… NO! FLUDD!
Feeling heartbroken with immense sadness, Aqua let all the tears out.
Aqua: DON'T GO FLUDD! PLEASE! I DON'T WANT TO LOSE ANOTHER CLOSE FRIEND!
Mario, Luigi, and Daisy were also heartbroken from FLUDD's loss and were crying as well. But they couldn't get up to comfort Aqua due to the burns.
Bowser and Bowser Jr. could've used this opportunity to finish the heroes off, but they were enjoying seeing them like this and just sat back to enjoy the show.
Peach was just as heartbroken as the heroes were. She didn't know FLUDD that much, but she could tell he was really close to her friends since Peach hasn't seen her sister this sad since the death of their parents. She couldn't help but cry as well.
Eventually, the girl's tears receded. She sat down in front of FLUDD's remains and closed her eyes.
Aqua: Yes… you were of assistance, FLUDD. But you did more than just help us clean up the island. You changed my life. Both you and Mario. I've learned so much from this adventure, met so many great friends, seen beautiful places, and had many fun times. I got to do that all with you, Mario, Luigi, Daisy, Toadette, and the rest of those nice people who guided me. These past few days have been the best of my life, and it's because of all of you. I couldn't have done all this without you, FLUDD. Thank you for everything. I'll never forget you.
Bowser: Sheesh! What a drama queen! I still remember seeing your face when I put an end to King George's reign two years ago. Good times. I get why you'd grieve over the loss of him, but a water pump? Really?
Bowser Jr.: Yeah. And like I said before. You shouldn't be allowed to use tools like that!
Aqua's sadness turned to anger as she faced Bowser and his son. Peach looked a bit surprised.
Aqua: FLUDD… may have been a water pump… but he had more heart… than you ever will!
Bowser: Really, huh? A water pump is better than me? If that's true, then why is it dead?
Aqua: He gave his life trying to help us! He was a hero, unlike you!
Bowser: Ah, kids. Always spitting out nonsense. Ey, Junior! Why don't you have a little 'playdate' with Mario's little friend here?
Bowser Jr jumped out of his boat with his magic brush and landed in front of Aqua.
Bowser Jr.: With pleasure!
Aqua: Try not to run away this time like you did before. I certainly won't.
Bowser Jr.: That's okay. That'll make this even more fun.
Mario: (C'mon amico! You can do it!)
Luigi: (You've got this, kid!)
Daisy: (Sis, I believe in you!)
Junior swinged his brush like a sword, which Aqua dodged to the best of her ability. Each swing left behind a puddle of goop which Aqua had to jump over and was unable to clean up since all of FLUDD's nozzles deactivated with him. Junior drew Aqua to a ledge.
Bowser Jr.: End of the line, girly!
Aqua unexpectedly grabbed Junior's magic paintbrush. The two tugged on it like they were in a tug-of-war.
Bowser Jr.: Hey! Let go! This is MY paintbrush!
Aqua looked over to the Gadd Sciences Inc. logo on the paintbrush and looked back to the same one on FLUDD.
Aqua: No it's not! You stole it!
Aqua got a better grip on the brush and managed to swing Junior in the air while he was holding on for dead life.
Bowser Jr.: Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! STOOOOOOOOP!
Mario smiled seeing this because it reminded him of something he did to Bowser a while back.
Mario: (So long, Junior!)
Bowser remembered it too and was still mentally scarred from those moments. He couldn't imagine his son getting that same treatment.
Bowser: Don't you dare!
Peach had enough of just sitting around and whacked Bowser with his umbrella as a distraction.
Bowser: OW! Honey… why?!
Peach: Don't call me that! I'm not your wife and never will be!
Aqua got enough momentum and launched Junior into the air.
Bowser Jr: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
Bowser: SON!
Junior came down with such force that he slammed right into the final balancing platform. Causing the entire tub to flip over and sending everyone falling off. The Shine Sprite was also free.
Bowser: AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!
Bowser Jr.: PAPA!
Luigi: If this is the end, I just want to say: DAISY, I LOVE YOU!
Daisy: I LOVE YOU TOOOOOOOOOOO!
Mario and Aqua held each other tightly to embrace themselves. Just then, Peach came down and caught them all, floating down slowly with her parasol.
Mario: PEACH! Looks like you saved us this time!
Peach giggled.
Peach: I knew I'd have to return the favor at some point. You don't look very good. Let me heal those burns.
Peach uses her healing powers to heal Mario, Luigi, and Daisy's skin, making them feel good as new.
Luigi: Ah. Much better!
Delfino Plaza
The water level was now back to normal, Toad, Toadette, Toadsworth and Melon stood in front of the Grand Pianta Statue, anxiously waiting for Mario and the gang to return with a Peach safely. Suddenly they heard screaming and looked up to the sky to see Bowser and his son falling out of the sky.
Bowser and Junior: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!
Toadsworth: OH, GRAMBI'S MOTHER!
Toad: AAAAHHHHH! It's Bowser!
Toadette: Uh oh…
Melon: That's Bowser?
Bowser and his son slammed onto the ground in front of the statue. Many Piantas and Nokis gathered around after seeing them falling. The king and his son get up feeling a little dizzy, only to panic when they see something huge falling down towards them.
Just like that, Bowser and Junior are crushed by the very tub they were swimming in, which startled the crowd. Not long after, Peach came floating down with the quartet in hand, landing atop the upside down tub. After landing, the four all gave Peach a big hug.
Aqua: Oh, Peach! We missed you!
Peach: I missed you all too! Throughout those few days I spent kidnapped, I never stopped thinking of you.
Daisy: Well, all's well that ends well.
Mario opened his eyes and noticed the crowd all around them. It was just about every friendly person they've met throughout their entire adventure.
Mario: Oh, hello everyone! Sorry about the wild entrance we made. We'll fix this all in a bit. Just let us have our moment.
Luigi: If you haven't guessed already, we've been through a lot.
They all nodded.
Toadette and the others climbed onto the tub and hugged our heroes.
Toad: You made it!
Toadsworth: OH PRINCESS! I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!DID BOWSER HURT YOU?!
Peach: I'm fine Toadsworth! Thank you for your concern.
Melon: We were getting real worried for a second.
Toadette: Yeah. I'm glad you all made it out alive.
Hearing the word 'alive' made Aqua's smile fade.
Aqua: Yeah. All of us except…
Mario took off FLUDD, or at least what was left of him and put him down. Toadette was confused at first, but then came to the realization and frowned.
Toadette: Oh…
Mario, Peach and Toadette comforted Aqua as she once again grieved the death of a great friend. Just then, Melon saw something in the sky.
Melon: Guys, look!
Everyone looked up to the direction Melon was pointing. The Shine Sprite from their final battle was floating in the air. It spun for a moment, giving off a very bright light. After a moment, it zoomed over to the giant Shine Sprite and all of the rest joined with them. Instantly, Isle Delfino has returned to its former glory, with the sun shining bright. Immediately, all of the inhabitants started cheering and jumping for joy, glad that the Shine Sprites were restored.
As for Mario and friends. They were in sheer awe at the fact that they'd finally won. So much emotions were packed in them at once.
Aqua: We… We did it.
Luigi: Wow, it's so… beautiful.
Luigi shed a tear when he felt a tap on his shoulder. Turning to the person who tapped him, he was met with an angry face on Daisy, startling the green plumber.
Daisy: Alright Luigi, give me back what you stole from me!
Luigi was both scared and confused.
Luigi: Uh… I-I didn't steal a-anything from you, Daisy!
Daisy: Oh, yes you did! You stole…
Luigi braced himself. Only for Daisy to pull him close to her and give him a suggestive grin.
Daisy: ...my heart.
Daisy forcefully kissed Luigi. He was shocked of this at first with his cheeks getting as red as his bro's clothes, but willingly gave in.
Aqua: Aww!
However, Aqua hears Mario crying behind her.
Aqua: Mario, are you… crying?
Mario gives his piccolo amico a huge hug.
Mario: You… have n-no idea… how… p-p-proud I am of… y-you…
Aqua gave a warm smile and hugged back, her cheeks turning a little pinkish. Before they could celebrate more, however, the tub below them started shaking. Mario and the others slid off of it and the tub goes flying into the air. Out of it came Bowser and Bowser Jr. who were now furious.
Bowser: GIVE ME MY PRINCESS!
Mario: Mamma Mia! You guys just don't give up, do you?
Aqua: It's over, Bowser! The shines are all back and the island is clean! It's all over! Just give up!
Bowser: Never! Not until I get what I desire! Sick 'em, Junior!
Bowser Jr.: On it, Papa!
Junior takes out his paintbrush. Before they could battle, though, the Delfino Police approached.
Police Officer #1: Hold it right there!
Bowser: Oh, what do you want?! We're in the middle of something, here!
Police Officer #2: Kid, what's that in your hands?
He was referring to the paintbrush that Junior possessed.
Bowser Jr.: It's… uh… um…
Bowser: Uh… it's not what it looks like, officers. My son here, uh… stole it from them! Yeah.
Police Officer #2: Riiiiiiiiight. Well, we'll see what the judge has to say.
They cuffed up Junior.
Bowser Jr.: HUH?!
Bowser: Hey! You can't arrest him! He's just a kid!
The police didn't listen and tased Bowser to knock him out, giving Mario a little chuckle.
Police Officer #1: We're gonna need you fellas in court. Someone came to talk in your behalf.
Mario and the others nodded and followed.
