A surge of energy enveloped Mario, shrouding him in a vibrant blue aura. As he emerged from the transformative experience, Kamek couldn't help but question why his adversary still drew breath. Mario, confident and determined, summoned the X Blade into his grip, swiftly slashing at Kamek's hands and rendering him powerless.

With a tone of disdain, Mario taunted, "Odin Star... So this is your new plan, Bowser? Well, in all honesty, it sounds even more pathetic than your other attempts." The shock on Bowser and Kamek's faces revealed their surprise at the sudden change in Mario's demeanor. It was clear that he had grown weary of their repetitive games.

In an act of decisive action, Mario reached out and extracted the Odin Star from Kamek, instantly vanquishing him. Without second thought, he prepared to cleave the star in half, but his intentions were interrupted by a blinding light that materialized before him. Instinctively, Mario stepped back, his eyes adjusting to the brilliance.

From the luminous glow emerged a girl—a girl with an emotionless gaze fixed upon Mario's face. "Odin Star..." she whispered, gripping a massive sword poised for attack. In a swift motion, she moved to strike at Mario, who hastily raised his X Blade in defense. However, even with his guard up, the impact of her blow sent him reeling backward.
