I'M AWARE I'M
AN IDIOT

Pretty much my exact reaction to the second part of the fight. I was not expecting that from a Mario game. Is it possible to have Luigi in the audience for this fight? If so, that's pretty funny / messed up.
It's easier to see in some audience "formations" than in others, but there is a conspicuous group of Toads on the right-hand side that Hooktail will only ever eat.

Edit: you can actually see it in the hard Hooktail fight, where the entire rest of the audience is Koopa Troopas.

I really do enjoy how the Mario side-games (Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi) get the opportunity to invent their own villains. We wind up with stuff like the X-Naut's duality of bumbling and aloof but also strikingly competent; also, it's one of the few chances to see Bowser in a role other than "antagonist".

But the last two M&L games fell back on Bowser being the big bad, plus Sticker Star did and it looks like the new Paper Mario will too.
