One evening in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], [[Larry|Cheatsy Koopa]] is climbing up the side of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]], and peeks in through a window, hoping to spy on whatever [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] are up to. Looking in, Cheatsy sees that [[Toad]] is helping Mario fit into a tuxedo, when Luigi questions why they have to wear dumb "penguin suits". Toad explains that [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] will be all dressed up herself, as Toad got word she is attending a concert in the [[Earth|real world]], so being a princess it clearly must be some kind of symphony. The Princess makes her grand appearance, but they are shocked to see that she is actually dressed to go to a pop concert, wearing a jersey with "[[Milli Vanilli]]", whom she remarks is her favorite band, printed on the front, and torn jeans. Toad comments that he does not understand the real world's "weird customs", and Princess Toadstool points out that everyone at the concert will be too busy looking at Milli Vanilli to notice them. With the knowledge of Princess Toadstool going to a Milli Vanilli concert, Cheatsy retreats back to [[Bowser's Castle|Kastle Koopa]], wondering what [[Wendy|Kootie Pie]] will think. | One evening in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], [[Larry Koopa|Cheatsy Koopa]] is climbing up the side of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]], and peeks in through a window, hoping to spy on whatever [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] are up to.

Upon Cheatsy's return to Kastle Koopa, Kootie Pie is throwing a temper tantrum because Princess Toadstool can go to a pop concert in the real world, while she cannot. After throwing some random objects at King Koopa, Kootie Pie screams until he gives in, and even offers to let her keep Milli Vanilli as well, which he mispronounces as "Silly-the-Willies" and "Filli Banilli". When Kootie Pie runs off to change into a dress, Cheatsy comments that he cannot wait to see Koopa pull off his plan, only for Koopa to order him to fire up the [[Airship|Doomship]], and because he instigated all this, he is coming along to see that the kidnapping succeeds. | Upon Cheatsy's return to Kastle Koopa, Kootie Pie is throwing a temper tantrum because Princess Toadstool can go to a pop concert in the real world, while she cannot.
