'''The Life of a Minion''' (also referred to as '''Wild Ones Bonus 2''' and '''Wild Ones +2''') is the second Wild Ones bonus episode in the Story Mode of the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]''. The episode is unlocked after completing [[Bowser's Blues]], and unlocks [[Mario's Defeat?!]] once it is completed.

==Plot==
[[Lakitu]] and [[Dry Bones]] are waiting inside [[ExCeL London]] when [[Kamek|Magikoopa]] arrives, having been delayed trying to lose [[Donkey Kong]]. Magikoopa explains that its plan is to transform Lakitu and Dry Bones into [[Charmy]] and [[Espio]], and that when [[Knuckles]] and [[Vector]] arrive, they should try to get them into the wrestling arena. Lakitu asks for a better explanation, though Vector and Knuckles arrive before Magikoopa can give one, and then transforms Lakitu and Dry Bones before leaving. Knuckles and Vector suggest that "Espio" and "Charmy" warm up with them, and "Espio" tries to respond, though only makes clicking sounds, confusing Knuckles and Vector. "Charmy" tries resolve the situation, though also ends up confusing them by speaking and acting differently from Charmy. "Charmy" then informs Knuckles and Vector that [[Bowser]] is coming to challenge them while doing an impression of Charmy, which distracts them long enough for Magikoopa to make a [[Chain Chomp]] and [[Piranha Plant]] in a [[Warp Pipe]] appear and stun them. Magikoopa makes the enemies disappear again, and Bowser arrives with [[Goomba]] and challenges Knuckles and Vector, though is slightly confused by the fact that they are both stunned.

Bowser manages to beat both Vector and Knuckles, though is confused by their poor performance given they challenged him. Knuckles and Vector claim that Bowser challenged them, though "Charmy" challenges them to another round, despite the pair asking for a rematch with Bowser. Goomba suggests that Bowser finds another opponent, and the pair leave, while Magikoopa, "Espio" and "Charmy" stay behind to try to calm down Vector and Knuckles.
