Present guards' accounts claim that he was helped by two hu[man]s, but this has yet to be proven.(continued on 3A)'
"Blasphemy," Toadsworth shook his head. "This wasn't part of the plan."
Toadsworth spoke through a telephone, and had a wrinkled, heavy forehead. He was in the Mushroom Kingdom's palace, in his office, where he did his duties as King of the Mushroom People, if only for a temporary time.
"Why didn't you release him? I don't want him involved." A pause, as the other end likely replied, and then Toadsworth argued again, "you better make sure he's safe, at the least. No harm should come to him. Look, let's regroup there. I'll catch a boat. . . yes, take care." He hung the phone on it's square, numbered mantle, and dropped his cranium into his hands. His door suddenly flung open, and Toadsworth saw that the culprit was his "friend", a monstrous, crocodile pirate who went by K. Rool.
"Aye, Worthing! Me friend of ole, yea?"
"What do you need, Rool? I'm rather busy running a kingdom here, if you can understand my impatience," Toadsworth stood up.
"Actually, that's what I've come to see you about, mate," the sailor said in a devious way, before slamming his scaly hands on the desk in front of Toadsworth. "I know your secret."
Toadsworth, in one swift motion, opened a desk drawer, pulled from it a small dagger, and flung the weapon through Rool's heart. A gasp escaped the pirate before he dropped to the floor and struggled to breathe. The old man crouched by the dying scum, and whispered, "now, no one will know what I have planned for the world."

"Yeah, my dad's a cool guy," Toad grinned honestly.
"So, he was a doctor in the Mushroom Army?" the red brother asked.
"Yep. What, do you wanna be a doctor, Mario?"
"Dr. Mario, at your service," Mario said with a tone of importance, and the three laughed.
"Bowser's Castle is right up ahead," Toad pointed to an enormous establishment, gargoyles and statues covering the kingdom.
"Dang..." Luigi breathed out.
