This is the ending to the game. No matter how many players were playing to defeat Bowser, the same ending is always played. You know, Luigi was looking freaking awesome until the Blimp started flying away without him. Poor guy never gets a break. Peach will then give Mario a breif mention about a "Secret World". Well isn't that nice?

Begin Staff Roll. But don't just watch it: jump around! Every single letter of the credits is a brick that may or may not contain a coin, or even a coin block. This is a mini-game to see how many coins you can collect during the credits. It would be nice to do this with 4 Players. Any inactive players will be standing in a stationary spot, "grooving" with the music. I don't know how many coins people have manged to get from this, but so far, I've seen 200 and higher. And that's just using Mario alone.

After "The End", we see the Kooplings recovering from their loss, with an unexpected...end. This had BETTER NOT be the last time we see the Koopa Kids. A new Rainbow Star-Shaped World Appears above the previous 8 Worlds for you to play. You are also given the ability to save the game at any time now (Not like Quicksave where it's a 1-time deal.)
