The time machine appears in the present-day garden. E. Gadd, the quartet, Princess Peach, Toadbert, and Toadiko come out of the time machine.

Mario: Ahhh...

Meggy: Home, sweet home...

Princess Peach: *Starts talking with Toadsworth*

E. Gadd: So much cleaning... Actually, there's something interesting to see here in the castle...

Mario: Huh?

Meggy: Is it urgent?

E. Gadd: Don't worry, you can come by later. You can find me in my usual location, fellers.

E. Gadd walks into the castle.

Toadsworth: Princess! Oh, my dear Princess! You're safe at last!

Princess Peach: Thank you. We owe Mario, Meggy, and the babies a great debt.

Toad: Princess! Please come this way.

The Toad, Toadsworth, and Princess Peach walk into the castle.

Toad 1: Mario! Meggy! Welcome home!

Toad 2: You're the best, you two!

Toad 3: It was you guys after all!

Toad 4: Way to go, Mario and Meggy!

All Toads: YEAH, MARIO AND MEGGY! WELOOOME BAAACK!

Mario and Meggy pose with the babies.

Mario: Haha!

Meggy: Yes!

Baby Mario: *Laughs*

Baby Meggy: Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

The Toad from earlier runs back out.

Toad: You all must be so tired. Please come this way.

Mario: Don't worry.

Meggy: We're coming.

Mario and Meggy pick the babies up on their backs and go into the castle.

Mario: Wonder what E. Gadd was talking about?

Meggy: I dunno. Maybe a reward for our hard work?

Mario: Mmm... Spaghetti...

Meggy: *Giggles* We'll see.

Mario and Meggy walk into the main room, where the two Toadsworths greet them.

Young Toadsworth: Oho! You've saved the princess and the kingdom! Well done, dear fellows!

Toadsworth: Master Mario... Master Meggy... Young Master Mario... Young Master Meggy... From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for rescuing our Princess Peach.

Mario: You're welcome.

Meggy: No problem.

Toadsworth: Please come this way. There's a favor I must ask of all of you...

Mario/Meggy: ?

The Toadsworths lead the way. The quartet follows them.

Toadsworth: *Under breath* And now, at long last... I must bid farewell to my younger, exuberant self.

Young Toadsworth: *Under breath* Hmph! It's as if you can't wait to be rid of me, you old Toad.

Toadsworth: *Under breath* Yes, er... What an overactive imagination you possess!

The quartet and the Toadsworths make it to the other side of the main room where... Bowser lays on the ground unconscious.

Bowser: ...
