-Entering Nolok's Throne Room! MARIO ran into Nolok's throne room, frantically searching for his beloved. Alas, he found neither PEACH nor Nolok there, but instead, another note. "Well done, MARIO, well done. If you are reading this, you have removed my control over this icy fortress. But as you can see, your beloved PEACH is not here. What you did not realize is that this is just one of my many fortresses, spread far across the lands! "MARIO, your ambition is most honorable, but futile nonetheless. With every fortress you conquer of mine, I will escape to another, and take PEACH with me. Do not be silly... it is best that you give up now." MARIO was sadly leaving the room, when he felt something beneath his foot... an envelope, addressed to him! Inside was a roughly sketched map with fortresses drawn in various lands. On the corner of the map was PEACH's signature, a drawing of the ice flower. MARIO ran out of the fortress, map in hand. No, he decided, he would not give up. PEACH was counting on him.
