The objective of the [[minigame]] is to run around the Mr. I fifteen times until he finally disappears. As the characters run around the Mr. I, he will gradually shrink. Players should avoid bumping into the Mr. I or one of the many [[Lava Bubble|Podoboo]]s that pop up, for they will stun the player for a few valuable seconds. | ||

He is in love with [[Princess Peach]] and his quest, [[Love That Princess!]], requires playing as Peach. As her, the player must go over to Mr. I's residence. When he sees Peach, Mr. I shows his love for her by giving her the [[Gaddget]], [[Hope Chest]]. He is also the crush of [[Flutter]]; he does not return the favor because he hardly knows her and is already in love with Peach, and he tells the player to tell her he is sorry. He is also one of the three suspects when the [[Koopa Bank]] is robbed. He states that he is not guilty, but he remembered hearing [[coin]]s jingle. The ending states that he is learning to wink for Peach. | ||
