The wind is heard outside. In the distance, a castle made from ice and snow stands proudly. Suddenly, lava hits the ground. Streams of it move from one side to another. Bowser's airship is seen above, the lava spewing from the sides of it. Spike balls drop from the sides of the ship and lower it to the ground, destroying structures underneath it.

The airship finally hits the ground. The first gate opens from the side of the ship, and Koopa shells roll out. The second gate opens, and more Koopa shells roll out from the ship. The Koopas bounce out of their shells; all hold weapons. They all charge forward, yelling. On top of the front of the airship, Paratroopas holding spears are seen, and they open up their wings. The center Paratroopa holds their spear up and yells.

The Paratroopas jump off the airship and begin to fly down to the ground and land into the formation. In the center aisle of the army's formation, a cloud of purple smoke appears. Kamek appears in the puff of smoke, "Behold, The King of the Koopas!" Kamek moves to the side and hits his staff on the ground. The army faces the main aisle and hits their weapons on the ground as well. The main airship entrance opens up, and Bowser begins walking out, then stands still for a second. Bowser leaps out of the airship and hits the ground.

He begins walking slowly down the main aisle and comes to a stop, "OPEN THE GATES! Or die...!" Behind the front gates of the ice castle, a few big shadows are seen approaching the door. One of the Koopas is shivering in fear, with its head partially in its shell. The ice castle's gates open to reveal a bunch of small penguins, with the king penguin in the middle. The previous shivering Koopa pops their head out of their shell, confused.

The penguins begin preparing for battle. King Penguin growls, "Attack!" The penguins begin charging forward and yelling as the king penguin smirks. The penguins start making snowballs and tossing them toward Bowser and his army.

"Yah!"

As one penguin tosses a bigger snowball, Bowser stands still, unfazed and unimpressed. A few of the penguins launch a big snowball using a catapult. Kamek quickly teleports away as the big snowball nails one of the Koopas. The king penguin raises his flipper up to signal his army to cease fire. "That is but a taste of our fury! Do you yield?" The King glares at Bowser. The penguins all strike a fighting pose.

Bowser chuckles, "I do not." He glances toward Kamek. Kamek uses his magic to lift the entire penguin army off the ground and send them flying left and right. The penguins all land in the snow, and the Koopas approach the fallen penguins with their spears pointed at them. Bowser takes a small inhale and breathes out a fierce fire blast, and begins destroying the entire front of the ice castle. Kamek looks at Bowser's flame excitedly while all the penguins are still on the ground with spears pointed toward them.

A cloud of dust briefly covers the entire area. As it settles, the Koopa army looks towards the destroyed castle, awestruck. A few of the penguins are now being withheld by the Koopa's spears, including the king penguin. "No..." He mutters. Bowser begins to grin, "Ohhh..." A bright yellow light is coming from the center of the decimated castle. Kamek uses his magic to begin creating a staircase to the center of the castle.

Bowser walks up to the glowing light as pieces from the wrecked castle continue making stairs for him. The glowing light is revealed to be coming from a '?' block. Bowser stands over the '?' block with a big, evil grin on his face. The king penguin tries to struggle out of the spear of a Koopa but fails and is held back harder. Bowser raises his fist in the air and delivers a punch to the top of the '?' block, cracking it. The '?' block begins to shake and explodes, revealing the Super Star. Bowser laughs maniacally, "I finally found it... And now NO ONE CAN STOP MEEEEE!" The Super Star begins to glow brightly. Bowser notices a Child of the Stars floating nearby and chuckles, "So the Princess of the Stars was here..." He grabs the Super Star and the Child.

"Forgive me, Princess..." The King Penguin mutters as Bowser takes them both, "I have failed you..."
