I'm okay". Hal suddenly asks him who Larry is, totally unaware of the character reference from Reservoir Dogs, After the Intro, residing in the World 3 castle. When a panicked Lemmy Koopa rushes in and shouts "He's gonna get me!", two Dry Bones become curious and ask who's going to get him. Lemmy claims that it's Mario and he's on his way to the castle, and together they plan to take on the plumber, Big Boo appears to be ready for Mario, The Inaudible Thwomp speaks, Hothead on the wall speaks, The Karate Duo Number introduces themselves, They aid Lemmy Koopa in fending off Mario, they disappear then Dry Bones mentions Mario is coming to the castle, Lemmy Koopa mentions "Battle stations", this puzzles Big Boo, they all hide for Mario, Later Mario comes to the World 3 Castle, When Mario knocks on the door, a Dry Bones tells him to go and suck a dick. Mario burst in anyway, beats up the two Dry Bones and crushes their bones into the ground, When he reaches the Inaudible Thwomp, he tries to convince Mario to stand under him so that he can crush him. Mario simply stays where he is, causing the Thwomp to get more and more wound up. He successfully manages to say "It won't be so bad once you stand under me, it will be done, Badda-Bing Badda-Boom", and later mentions the name "Christopher Walken" which confuses Mario. When Mario enters a doorway nearby, the Thwomp gets extremely irritated by the fact that he can't follow him. He threatens to destroy Mario and his family and wants the Mushroom Kingdom "burned to the ground"., Mario faces the Hothead, who is unable to stop himself from continuously moving around a platform. He is convinced he'll be able to kill Mario with a single touch, but Mario simply waits for him to move to the other side before jumping to the next platform. Realizing he's just blown his only chance to kill him, the Hothead falls off the platform with a yell. Mario then travels up a steep slope with three more Dry Bones in pursuit, but Mario crushes them with a large iron ball before grabbing a Fire Flower. The plumber is then confronted by Big Boo, who tells Mario that he's dead as soon as he turns away from him. Mario simply walks backwards whilst facing him in order to safely make it to the other side, greatly annoying Big Boo. The Karate Duo Number 1 then drop down from the ceiling to attack Mario, but he throws a fireball at each one which sets them both alight. Finally, Mario goes after Lemmy Koopa and after an intense fight, Mario punches him into a pit of molten lava, Mario destroys the castle with a Banzai Bill, Hal and Jeff (who is back to normal) are back and are reassigned by Bowser to guard the castle. Hal is then astonished to find Jeff has been squashed yet again by a piece of falling debris.
