Now it's time for a boss fight! Mario VS Boom-Boom!

"Bring it on you overweight Koopa!" Mario taunted. He was about to punch the Koopa, but John pushed him out of the way.

"OOF!! Why did you do that! I had a clear shot!" Mario shouted.

"But you were about to attack him!" John shouted back.

"Umm... Duh. He's my enemy, I'm supposed to kill him."

"Why would you kill him? Have you ever tried making peace with these guys?"

".... I guess it's worth a shot." Mario said as he walked over to Boom-Boom and hugged him. Surprisingly he took it rather well.

"Hey this is great! Bowser never hugged us before. I'll just let you guys go." Boom-Boom said before walking away from the group.

"Oh my god that actually worked! Oh well, let's just save the princess."

Heading into the back room of the fort, they found a bag and opened it. But only a Toad came out.

"OH NO!!! TURTLE GUY TURNED THE PRINCESS INTO A MUSHROOM!!!!!!" Ringo yelled.

Mario then rolled his eyes. "Actually, that's just one of her servants, he's called a Toad." He assured the drummer. "And before you ask, no he's not related to amphibians and is not a drug either so put those bongs away."

"Thank you Mario but the princess is in another castle."

"Alrighty! OFF TO THE NEXT CASTLE!!!"

*Castle Two*

"Thank you Mario but the princess is in another castle."

"Alrighty! OFF TO THE NEXT CASTLE!!!"

*Castle Three*

"Thank you Mario but the princess is in another castle."

"Alrighty! OFF TO TH..."

"WAIT!!" Paul shouted. "Mr. Toad, do you know which castle she's in?"

"The eighth one in the volcanic level. Why do you ask?"

Then everyone started glaring at Mario

"*ahem* OF TO THE EIGHTH CASTLE!!!"

Thankfully, someone was generous enough to build a warp pipe that lead straight to Bowser's treasure chamber. After exiting the pipe the group spread out to look for the lovely pink princess. There was no sign of her or Bowser, but they did find a note. This is what it said.

Dear Loser Brothers

Thought the princess was here didn't ya? Well I decided to be less obvious and hid her somewhere else. But to be nice, I'll tell you that she's somewhere near your galaxy

Your greatest enemy, King Bowser. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

"Oh NOW he decides to find a different hiding place!" Mario grunted.

"Wait!! So you knew she'd always be here?!" Luigi realized. "And if you did, WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST GO STRAIGHT TO WORLD EIGHT??!!!!!"

"Well I have to save the Toads too. And I like traveling long distance. But anyways, OFF TO MY GALAXY!!!"

"You have an actual galaxy?!" Ringo asked in amazement.

"Well... it's not technically mine, but I did discover it with the help of the Lumas stopping that supermassive black hole from destroying the universe."

"He must be on something." John said to Ringo.

"I'M NOT ON DRUGS!!! And for your information, the Mushroom Kingdom has very strict drug policies. Heck even caffeine is illegal."

"Aren't mushrooms drugs though?" George asked.

"Have you never heard of mushrooms you find at the grocery store? Or even prescription drugs you get at a pharmacy for that matter?"
