Smoulder Boulders

**"Smoulder Boulders"** is the fourth episode of Toadal Drama Island Returns.

## Synopsis

Amidst Toad’s interns quitting, Toad tasks the campers to repair his life size statues.

## Plot

The episode opens up with a recap as usual, but Toad gets interrupted by a koopa named Jimmy who tells him that he is his new co-host. An enraged Toad shows a bomb down Jimmy's throat and starts the episode.

Later on Kamek and Daisy are having a conversation in the meshall.

Soon later, the Screaming Star Sprites show up in the meshall, with Toadsworth explaining to everyone why they need to secure Peach. Mimi reveals that he kept them all up during the night with his talking. Rosalina attempts to comfort them but a frustrated Mario prevents her from doing so. Later on Wario, Kamek, Petey, Daisy and Carl go to their cabin where Wario tells the others that he wishes Waluigi was still in the competition. Kamek attempts to cheer him up with his games and although Wario refuses to play them, he is joined by the other three. Outside, Toad is horrified to see that Bobei and the rest of the interns destroyed his statue. They tell him that they quit and that they shall leave the island on his boat, though when they board it Toad blows it up, killing everyone except for Bobei. The contestants then arrive on the scene and Toad tells them that it's time for their third challenge. Bowser complains that they didn't get any sleep or food, after which Toad says that the winning team will get a stache of food that was hidden away in one of the cancelled seasons.

Toad tells the campers that the first part of the challenge will be based off of bowling and that the team with the most points will win an advantage in the next part of the challenge. Goombella and Starlow are forced to sit out the challenge to balance the teams. The Koopas ultimately win the challenge by a single point. Mario is upset by the loss and blames it on Toadsworth.

Planning to get rid of Mario, Mimi walks up to Bowser and uses his crush on Peach to fuel his hatred for the plumber, ultimately succeding. Toad tells the two teams that the next part of the challenge is rebuilding his statue and that the Koopas' advantage is that half of their statue is still intact. He also declares the campers to be his slaves for the reminder of their time on the show, much to Kamek's horror. As the challenge starts Toadsworth attempts to withdraw from it with Peach again, though under the pressure of both Peach and Bowser he decides to stay. The Sprites attempt to decide who their leader for the challenge is going to be, with Boo nominating herself, Birdo nominating Yoshi, and Mimi nominating Bowser much to everyone's shock.

The teams soon start building the statues. Boo complains that one of the pieces is Toad's butt, but then corrects herself, saying that it's just his face.

Toadette forces Goombella, Starlow, Petey and Luigi to sit out of the challenge. Kamek attempts to assemble the statue with his wand but it is stolen by Toad. The Koopas begin to face difficulties, as Wario is more focused on farting then helping them.

The Sprites are nearly finished with their statue when Bowser tells them to stop building and let Mario finish it, much to Peach's dismay.

As Bowser picks up the last few pieces, Toadsworth prevents Peach from helping him due to believing that it's too dangerous. A frustrated Peach then tells him that she doesn't need to be watched by him all the time, much to his shock and sadness. The Koopas start catching up to them, but Wario lets out a massive fart that destroys the Koopas' statue, with the Sprites emerging victorious as a result. Later that night Mimi who is disquised as Mario comes to Goombella and kisses her, with her telling her that she'll do it again if she does something for her later on. At the campfire ceremony Toad hands out the mushrooms to Starlow, Carl, Daisy, Toadette, Petey, Kamek, Rosalina and Luigi, although he simply throws the latter's on the ground due to not noticing him. He is then about to eliminate either Wario or Goombella but is interrupted by Toadsworth who tells him to stop the wedding, causing him to explain to him that he was at the campfire ceremony. Toadsworth tells him that he's quitting the competition because he was only there to protect Peach and he noticed that she doesn't need protection anymore. Toad announces that all of the Koopas are safe and takes Toadsworth to the Fling of Shame where he is greeted by Peach. She apologises and tells him that she didn't want him to quit, after which he tells her that he doesn't mind it and that he has faith in her. He is then launched off the island by Toad who signs off the episode.
