* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Luigi Da Vinci declares that Demolicious wanted to sell the heart for her own selfish desires, while she is hanging from a pair of Luigi's robots that grabbed her arms. {{spoiler|Luigi's only half right -- the reason she wants to sell it is for money to help her sick dad.}}
