It's the end of the world! Well, not literally, but you're listening to the music that plays during the castle at the end of each world of my imagined New Super Mario Bros. sequel, subtitled "Secret of the Dry Guys".

And it's a Koopaling who's waiting to meet you in the final chamber of each castle. Larry in the first world, Roy, Iggy, Morton Jr., Lemmy, Wendy O. and finally Ludwig von Koopa in the seventh world.

The shocking thing you'll discover is that Kamek transforms each of them into ominous, mask-wearing "Koopa Guys" (all thanks to the power of the the Shy Guy Power Stars). They each have special attacks similar to those found in past Mario games:

1. Larry Guy - spits bullets/seeds
2. Roy Guy - on stilts
3. Iggy Guy - with spears
4. Morton Guy Jr. - really fat and rolls around
5. Lemmy Guy - plays baseball
6. Wendy O. Girl - snorkels in the water below, causes tidal waves
7. Ludwig von Guy - floats around like a helicopter, drops bombs

(Note that the opening fanfare only plays during Bowser Jr.'s castle in World 8... although he's technically not a Koopaling, this track applies to his castle too =P).
