After obtaining the magic brush from E.

The title of the box is 「クッパJr.の落書き!」 which means "''The graffiti of Bowser Jr.!''" and the text says 「本作の敵キャラクターたちは、クッパJr.が落書きで生み出したという設定。そのため、水に弱かったり、デザインが他のシリーズと少々異なっていたりする。ヨッシーも、同様の理由で水に落ちると消えてしまう。」 which means "''This game's enemy characters are created by Bowser Jr.'s graffiti.

Because of his disguise, [[Mario]] is believed to be the perpetrator and is forced to clean up the [[goop]]. Bowser Jr. claims the magic brush was given to him by E. Gadd as opposed to stealing it. Most of the game's enemies, puzzles, and hazards revolve around the goop and graffiti created by the brush, which can take on caustic and elemental properties to damage Mario on contact.
