Daichi: Or, why these powers aren't actually available.
Verity: She owns nothing here.

Luigi glanced first at the trees blocking the path, and then at his brother. "Big bro... what are you doing?"
"Clearing a path."
"Mario, no!" Too late. The forest had already begun to burn around them. Stuffwell took one look at the blaze, and turned to them.
"Well, this is... troubling."

"That... did not end well."
"How were we supposed to know that the Shroobs have no concept of shock-proofing?"
"I'd just have been fine if we hadn't been trapped for a week..."
"Still better than when he zaps the MechaKoopas. Those just blow up."
"That might have actually been preferable. We had to eat all of our healing supplies."
"Should we return to restock?"
"That would be nice, yes."

"I'm not sure about this..." Starlow glanced at the Blooper, and then at Luigi, whose hands were already giving off sparks. "I know nothing else you've done has caused any trouble for Bowser, but he's going to start drinking again soon."
The sparks immediately stopped. They did not need to risk frying themselves at this point.

"So... that was an incredibly ancient spirit, right?"
"He's been around for longer than there were Pi'illos," Dreambert confirmed. "Why do you ask?"
"How had he not thought of the concept of shock-proofing?"
"It was never really that big a deal... we didn't shock-proof much."
Which meant nothing was shock-proofed at all, at least that was left. It was far too easy.

"So... why didn't you use those powers earlier?" The 3D members of the party glanced at each other.
"They aren't that... practical."

Daichi: To elaborate, Mario set the trees in front of the Vim Factory on fire, they somehow trapped themselves in a Shroob broom closet, or the equivalent, Luigi nearly electrocuted Bowser, and they made a total mockery of the Dream Stone Spirit's giant mecha... and everything since.
