In the X-Naut Fortress, Grodus berates an X-Naut because the Shadow Sirens and Doopliss feel for the fake Crystal Star, calling it asinine. The X-Naut apologizes and says it's possible that Mario got the real one. Grodus says this mustached menace has nearly every Crystal Star. They were his. He says he'll alter is plan a bit. The X-Naut whispers something important to Grodus, which makes him declare treason.
Peach is in her room, thinking TEC should have called her in by now. The door opens. Go to TEC's room and TEC says it has reached a conclusion. It struggled with whether to obey orders or speak to her, but can't confirm what it should believe. Peach says TEC doesn't sound right. TEC tells her to escape immediately. The data it analyzed detailed Grodus's plan, including why she's being held captive. TEC explains the plan and Peach doesn't believe it. Peach says she doesn't know where she is. TEC discloses that she is currently on the moon. She can't believe that either and asks how she can escape. TEC says she must follow its instructions exactly. Peach asks if anyone will find out that it helped her and if it will get in trouble. TEC calls that inconsequential; all that matters is her safety. As the base's computer, no one will know if it keeps quiet. It tells her not to worry. Before she leaves, Peach types out a message to Mario. While she's typing, the door opens and someone says to stop.
Grodus and two X-Nauts walk in. Grodus knows TEC is a traitor, but didn't think his own computer would betray him. He says the treason ends here as he will cut the circuit and delete the programs and data causing the malfunction, including all data relating to Peach. This is to ensure that nothing like this happens again. TEC claims that it is normal. The X-Nauts shut down TEC by pressing the red buttons on either side of the monitor simultaneously. TEC sends Peach's mail and slowly says it loves her. The deletion is complete and TEC is no longer with them. Peach calls Grodus an inhuman beast. He says there's no time to worry about the computer as he has important things for her to do.
In Rogueport, Bowser scares off some residents. He's in a grumpy mood because he can't find Peach and doesn't have any Crystal Stars. His time in Twilight Town wasn't glorious, either. He wonders what's going on. If this keeps up, Mario will steal everything from his grasp as usual. Kammy Koopa appears, saying the Magikoopa scouts found a suspicious underground chamber that isn't on the maps. Things seem to be turning around for Bowser. She says the Hammer Bros. battalion are attempting to breach the chamber, but it is impenetrable. He says he's Bowser and he'll blast through it. They leave, and Luigi walks in, wondering what's up.
Bowser enters a side-scrolling castle-like level. There are fire bars and pools of lava. There are also X-Nauts, some of which will throw harmful potions at him. Spring up and reach the flagpole. Bowser enters a gym. Kammy cheers him on, saying nothing stood in his way and calling him super. Bowser says he felt at home, but he doesn't know where they are. Kammy spots a Crystal Star on a champion's belt on the wall, along with pictures of the Glitz Pit. Kammy and Bowser are told to freeze, by Rawk Hawk. He says he's famous and asks if they forgot his hugeness and muscles. He says Bowser cleared his secret training facility. He imported super-freaks to increase the difficulty level, so Bowser had to be good to clear it. Rawk Hawk says the champion's belt is his. Bowser calls him a weakling. Rawk Hawk tries to sliding kick Bowser, but Bowser jumps to dodge, and he ends up kicking Kammy into the wall. Bowser lands on Rawk Hawk, flattening him. Rawk Hawk and Kammy are in pain. Bowser says he knew he was a weakling. The Crystal Star falls off the champion's belt and breaks. Kammy says it's made of glass, meaning it's fake. Rawk Hawk says that Gonzales has the real one and that his hair aches. Bowser doesn't know a Gonzales and asks who he has to flatten to get a Crystal Star, stomping his foot.
