A day later, it's revealed that an enigma of sorts has stolen the chocolate pudding, causing it's beholder, none other than the master pudding chef Stu Pickles, to "lose control of his life" and, as a result, turn into a stone statue. DK and Diddy decide to confront Stu at 4 o'clock the morning after when he's most active, asking him how and why the chocolate pudding disappeared. He reveals to him that Mama Luigi had stolen it from him. In another, distant location, Mario and Mama Luigi, who have turned to a life of thievery and greed for power as pirates under the league of Lord Karnage, are shown abusing the power of the chocolate pudding to become supervillians, with Mario hysterically claiming that nobody will be able to take it from them.
