Their conversation is soon interrupted by [[Shy Guy|Shyguy]]s, whom [[Bowser|King Koopa]] ordered to cut down June and Ward's entire tree. Mario is able to stop them using the jungle survival skills that June and Ward passed down to him. Luigi eventually restores Mario's memory using a meatball sandwich, which Mario rescues by swinging from some vines. When Ward praises Marzan, Princess Toadstool fears that Mario has not fully recovered, but Luigi assures her that Mario had always gone ape for meatballs.
