EPILOGUE And now, our little tale comes to an end. But never forget, every ending is only another beginning. Perhaps, soon, that beginning will be told, and will continue on the end of our characters' journeys.
Toadsworth was swiftly jailed and put on suicide watch, as the old man grew deeper and deeper into a state of dark depression as the days went by. Mario, Luigi and the Princess had brought him to an advanced Mushroom Guard.
After news spread of Bowser's death, the rule of Koopaland faded, and became a space of anarchy, but resumed in peace. The Koopa Guard was broken up and sent to divisions in other lands. The Castled Prison was destroyed.
Toad received a proper burial and funeral to which over half of MushroomWorld attended, including at least 15 delegates from all the nations. The burial was resided over by an old friend of Toad, and Mario gave a small speech.
Reggie, the previous owner of the pipe that started it all, began a video game company called 'Nintendo', and the first game they put out was a side-scroller known as Super Mario Bros., which was what Reggie believed went down beyond the pipe.
Kamek was doomed to wander the Mushroom World without a purpose, but intended to find some meaning in his Koopa life.
After Mushroom World had learned how Princess Peach Toadstool could handle herself, and after she had matured herself after her experiences, the economy of the Mushroom Kingdom began growing to what it used to be famous for: it's vast economic discoveries.
Luigi had transformed from a broken man with immense guilt and responsibility to the deaths of an entire family, to a person who could move on and overcame his fears. He decided, having that his reputation back on Earth was at an all-time low, he would stay in Mushroom World.
As did Mario, after asking Princess Peach out to a dinner. Mario Mario was different, too. He was better, not some yes-man. He now shared one opinion, and that was his own and that of his friends-not the television.
Princess Peach had, yes, entered a relationship with Mario, but also used her newfound maturity to create a better world for the citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom. When she wasn't busy doing presidential things, she was an activist who encouraged people to get up and go.
Bowser, of course, was burning in the flames. Was he cursed to a never-ending torture, or was it true that he had died swiftly in lava? Perhaps we'll never know.
And I believe that's it.
