"Rule number 1, Mr. Koopa King," Alph said with a smirk. "Never open with a dash attack." Alph then commanded his Pikmin to throw Bowser into the ground, where he bounced into the air, allowing Alph to run in with his Yellow Pikmin and deliver a powerful forward strike that sent Bowser flying. Alph knew Bowser would recover from the attack, but what happened instead was that the Koopa King, after just flying over the edge, was instantly meteor smashed off the mountain and towards the ground below. Alph was too far away to see exactly what happened, but once the culprit of Bowser's defeat was in view, Alph gasped.
