 According to Luigi, the Chestnut King is the villain who kidnaps [[List of implied characters#Princess Eclair|Princess Eclair]] from the [[List of implied locations#Waffle Kingdom|Waffle Kingdom]] and brings her to [[List of implied locations#Hatesong Tower|Hatesong Tower]]. Luigi travels to the tower by using the [[List of implied items#Marvelous Compass|Marvelous Compass]]. Once there, Luigi challenges the Chestnut King to a battle. The king eventually loses to Luigi and his [[hammer]]. However, before Luigi can deliver the final blow, Princess Eclair appears and stops him. It turns out that the Chestnut King and the princess are actually lovers, much to Luigi's dismay. The King was transformed into a monster through the magic of [[List of implied characters#Minister Crepe|Minister Crepe]] of the Waffle Kingdom. Eventually, Luigi defeats Crepe, presumably restoring the Chestnut King to his former self. Luigi never directly admits that he was wrong in believing that the Chestnut King was the Princess's captor (although he does admit after a long pause that, though he had won, he ended up beating a shadowy figure shortly afterward), and Mario can only read about it in the [[Super Luigi (series)|Super Luigi book series]].
