The scene again cuts to Peach's castle. Horns play a fanfare as Mario, Delilah and Peach exit the castle to a crowd of Toads.]
MARIO and Delilah: (gasps)
TOADS: (cheering)
PEACH: They're all counting on us. No pressure.
[Mario, Delilah and Peach pass through the crowd, who give Mario curious looks.]
TOADS: (cheering)
MARIO: (nervous chuckle)
[Mario, Delilah and Peach stand next to the Warp Pipe.]
PEACH: My Toads! Our days of terror are almost over! With the help of the Kong army, we will stop--
[A blue Toad raises his hand, causing Peach to stop mid-movement.]
BLUE TOAD: Uh... Who are they?
MARIO: (nervous chuckle)
PEACH: (beat) They're... not important!
[The Toads start cheering again as Peach enters the pipe. Mario weakly waves goodbye and is also pulled in. They both start walking through the Mushroom Forest.]
PEACH: Nervous?
MARIO: Who, me? (scoffs) Yes. A little.
PEACH: (giggles)
[Toad dances up behind them.]
TOAD: ♪ We're goin' on an adventure! ♪ (normal) Come on, guys! (scatting) Hey, Mario. Delilah!
[Peach turns to Mario.]
PEACH: You know this guy?
MARIO: Uh--
TOAD: We're best friends.
MARIO: But are we?
Delilah giggles.
[Toad hold up his finger to Mario and turns to Peach.]
TOAD: Don't worry. (emphatically) I...will...protect you.
PEACH: A Toad brave enough to join me.
TOAD: I fear nothing.
PEACH: Well that settles it. You're coming with us. Let's move!
Delilah wonders for a bit. A little dumbfounded as to how quick Toad was hired.
[Peach and Mario run off. Toad grabs a Biddybud and spins it around and dances with Delilah]
TOAD: Ha-ha-ha! ♪ I said we're goin' on an adventure, woo! ♪
Toad tosses the Biddybud behind him and runs after Peach and Mario.]
BIDDYBUD: (squeals)
[Mario, Peach, Delilah and Toad travel through various lands. They end up looking over a mist-covered mountain range.]
PEACH: Pretty incredible, huh?
MARIO: Mamma mia.
Delilah: whoa!
PEACH: I'll never let anyone ruin this.
