Okay, so you're wandering around Hyrule with Link and Mario, killing octoroks and goombas as you go. Well, when you get to the castle to pay Princesses Zelda and Peach a visit, they're having a secret slumber party and you're not invited. You insist that you both must be there to protect them, because Ganondorf and/or Bowser could appear at any time, and they decide to throw pillows at you, saying they need a break from all the drama centered around the villains; they want some relaxing girl-time, which means no boys (or anyone else) allowed. Disgruntled, you, Link and Mario leave.
When you get back outside, more octoroks and goombas await you. You're so disappointed that you missed the toenail-painting pillow-fighting pajama party action that your battle performance is inhibited exponentially, and the goombas decide to rally up and kill you.
The octoroks get bored and decide to go home and spit rocks at the Zoras. They let the goombas have all the fun.
Death by perfume.
