Alright! It's time for our first encounter with the baddest of the bad himself, the Koopa King named Bowser.
"Did somebody just call my name?" Bowser asks.
I look behind. "Bowser, how did you get here? How were you past my guards?"
"Those were your guards?" Bowser asks. "Heh! They were pathetic! You're the writer that Toad and his friends were blabbering about, JoeyHensonInteractiveMedia?"
"Yup. That is me. What are you doing here anyways." I ask Bowser.
"Well, I'm just taking a break from kidnapping the princess a while. After the New Year's party, I was quite exhausted, especially since the New Year's Party was one night only!" Bowser gets angry, but controls his temper. "Just thinking about makes me want to crash this party down."
"Then please don't think about him and control your anger." I say.
"I'll try. Anyways, I came here hearing that you were writing a chapter with me in it, right? I previously appeared in Chapter 5." Bowser asks me.
"Yeah, but Toad's going to defeat you as always." I said. "But don't feel down, Bowser. Look, maybe I'll think about doing something with you at some point in the future."
"Really?" Bowser said.
"Yup, I mean the closest thing you've ever had to your own game was Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. The Mario Brothers were still playable so you deserved some love. And the game recently got a remake by the way." I said.
"Alright, your fans and you are just probably getting impatient. Let's start the chapter already!" Bowser told me.
"I apologize for the long intro." I said. "Back to adventure!"
Toad and Toadette head back into the castle lobby.
"That was a lot of fun. We should do that again sometime." Toad said.
"Okay...so when I first arrived here, I saw this large door with a star on it. I think we might have enough stars to get it. Wanna try with me?" Toadette asked.
"Let's do this!" Toad said.
The two walked upstairs and went over to the door that Toadette was talking about. Reacting to the star power, the door slowly opened, and the two Toads walked inside to see a nice surprise. They were in a hallway, and at the end of it was a painting of Princess Toadstool.
Toadette gasped in surprise.
"Toadstool! She must be in there." Toad said, also in surprise.
They started walking towards the painting, but as they did. Toad's smile faded into a frowning face. "Aww..."
As they got closer, the image of Toadstool faded into a painting of Bowser.
"Uh-oh..." Toad said.
A trap door opened up below them as Toad realized that they fell for a trap.
"Aaaaah!" Toad and Toadette screamed.
Meanwhile...
"Your evilness." Kamek said.
"This better be good." Bowser told Kamek.
"Toadette rescued Toad, and they made it to the first three of your hideouts." Kamek said.
"What?! Hmph, you know what, let them come. I'll be waiting. Gwahaha!" Bowser laughed.
The Dark World
Toad and Toadette landed in a dark area which appeared to resemble an obstacle course.
"Great, Toadette, just great! We fell for one of Bowser's dirty little tricks." Toad said.
"Hey, it could be worse." Toadette told him.
"Bwahahaha! You've stepped right into my trap, just as I knew you would. I warn you, "friend" watch your step!" Bowser said, off-screen.
"Oh, we will "friend"! Just you wait until I get my hands on you!" Toad said.
They first walked past a fire burner, walked right up a few ramps with platforms to jump across. Then they walked up some tedious bridges with electric amps and more platforms to cross. Then they walked up some seesaw platforms which led to large stairways leading to a green pipe.
"This is it, Toadette. Are you ready?" Toad said.
"As ready as I'll ever be." Toadette said.
The two jumped down the pipe prepared for what's ahead.
They landed in a circular arena with spiked bombs surrounding. In front of them was Bowser.
"So, we meet again, Bowser. Where's the princess?" Toad told Bowser.
"Bwahaha! Tough luck, Toad! Looks like Princess Toadstool isn't here. Go ahead, try to grab me by the tail. You'll never be to swing me around!" Bowser said.
"Bowser, you just told me what to do!" Toad facepalms.
"What a moron Bowser is. No wonder why you always beat him." Toadette said.
"The first time I saw him, he was on bridge above hot boiling lava with an axe. Luckily I was safe and I hid from Bowser so Mario could end him. That's when I was called Mushroom Retainer." Toad said.
"Heh, I barely even consider you a Mushroom Retainer." Toadette said.
"Oops." Bowser's sweat drops. "Eh, whatever. A wimp like you could never throw me out of here. Never!" Bowser said.
"We'll see about that." Toad just ran behind Bowser and grabbed him by the tail.
"Hey, let go!" Bowser said.
"So, who's the wimp now, Bowser?" Toad said.
Toad swung Bowser around by the tail and threw him at a spiked bomb. Toadette was cheering Toad on.
Bowser fell over from the bomb, facing defeat.
"Well, I was almost as brave as Mario." Toad said.
"Yup, you were the brave Toad around back in Super Mario Brothers 2. Except I wasn't around." Toadette said.
"Grr, okay...I'll admit, I was a bit careless. This is not what I had planned...but I still have the Power of the Stars...and I still have Peach. Gwahaha! You'll get no more stars from me! I'm not done with you yet, but I'll let you go for now. You'll pay for this...later! Gwahahaha!" Bowser laughed as he faded away, and in his place came a key.
"A key? What are we supposed to do with it?" Toadette asked.
"Well, it doesn't seem to fit with our friends' doors. Maybe it's the key to that locked door upstairs. Let's just take it back to the castle." Toad said.
