"No more mercy for you, Luigi! No more tricks—no more carefully laid plans! Now it's time for raw King Boo gusto! You're all going in a painting! An ensemble portrait is your fate!"
"Seriously, I can't believe you just asked me that! OK, all right, fine! How about this reason? Seems as good as any. I do all the wonderful things I do because I want to see the miserable look on the faces of people like YOU when you're wallowing in despair, dismay, grief, frustration, misery...all sorts of other unpleasant nouns... I guess you could say I'm bored. At least misery is interesting."
You're really going to be glad when you defeat these characters in the limitless worlds and possibilities your Video Games hold... unless it's the rare occasion where you're playing as them.
