But then again, what were the chances that Bowser had constructed his castle using souls instead of actual stone blocks? The mere thought of it sounded ridiculous. Bracing for impact, Tony leapt up in the air and punched the ceiling with all his might. The block shattered. A nearby koopa guard was alerted.

Redd marched through a corridor with a grin on his face. He had just gotten his first quest from General Blinky! And it was a delivery quest! All he had to do was go to the dungeon, locate the prisoners, and deliver the message: "It's a clover bet," he said out loud. Wait, that sounded wrong. What was it again?
