The king and his minions sing the theme song (see below). As they pass a crowd of stunned people, one of the older Troopas puts a Koopa mask on a child in the crowd who proceeds to follow them. When they arrive at the doorway, a bewildered guard attempts to block their entry, and Koopa pulls the whistle from his mouth. Entering the set of a clown's studio as an episode of his show is filming, Koopa and his children proceed to take over the show. Koopa pushes the cameraman away and proceeds to confront the clown, who panics. After the clown attempts to win Koopa's favor through roses and a balloon, Koopa pops the balloon with his claw, scaring him away.
