The atmosphere in the Koopa King's fortress swims with heat, each block of stone steeped in the hellish orange light of the encircling lava flow. Torches gutter along the infinite corridors, their light throwing elongated, claw-like shadows that twitch and grasp. Then, a roar—so profound and violent it vibrates the castle's bedrock, triggering gouts of molten rock to fountain from the moat.

His stare, sharp enough to cut diamond, pins you the moment the great doors boom shut. "You made me wait."
