Goombario's Log Day 63: Here we are, Bowser's Castle. After all this time, we're finally here. Bowser's kidnapped not just Peach, but the entire party that was attending and thrown them in the dungeon. We have to do this, not just for Peach, but for everyone captured by Bowser. 

Kooper's Log Day 58: Now we're really high up in the sky. I can see almost all of the Mushroom Kingdom from up here, including my house. I'll, try not to look down so often. 

Bombette's Log Day 57: Getting thrown into a dungeon only to blow up a crack in the wall brings back a ton of memories I tell you. I went from rescuing my friends to rescuing members of the party. Kind of funny how these things parallel with one another. 

Parakarry's Log Day 52: I've never delivered a letter to Bowser in my entire life, so I have no idea what his castle even looks like. This is definitely going to be scary, but we must push through and save the day. 

Bow's Log Day 41: Thank Goomba we got rid of the lava around here. I know Lester said my flowers wouldn't burn up if I got near them, but I'd still like to keep them intact. 

Watt's Log Day 31: Who puts a cave inside their castle? Oh well, I could light it up no problem so Mario could navigate through it. 

Captain Sushie's Log Day 25: I've commandeered many ships in me days, but never had I sailed on one that could fly. Me younger self would have killed for a ship like this I'd tell ya. 

Lakilester's Log Day 14: panting So. Hot. I know I'm not touching the lava here, it's just my cloud, but man is it hot in here. You know, I don't think I've ever given my cloud a name before. I've always just called it Buddy. Maybe when this is over I'll give'em a better name. 

meanwhile in Peach's Castle 

all the soldiers are running around in panic in the main foyer 

Bowser: walks in What is going on here!? 

Koopatrol: It's Mario! He's here! 

Hammer Bro: He's inside the castle and is making his way up here! 

Goomba: We're doooooommed!!!!!! 

more panicking and screaming 

Bowser: ENOUGH!!! pulls out the Star Rod and freezes them in place Do you see what's in my hand? This, is the almighty Star Rod. As long as I have this, Mario cannot defeat me. He can make his way up to Peach's Castle and walk right up those stairs towards me, but he'll go no further. Because I'll just kill him, ... and then I'll kill him again! You! Start playing opera music! 

Koopa: Uh, right away boss!
