you need to do is hide Stars everywhere. Mario and Luigi love
collecting stars, more than they even love rescuing damsels in distress.
You need to get exactly one hundred of them. Exactly. Place
ninety-nine of them across a huge area, hidden in trees, at the tops of
mountains, in treasure chests at the bottom of lakes, in the bellies of
giant eels. Places where the plumbers can and will get them. But
the last star, that one is special. Place it near your lair in
plain sight, so that they can't rescue the princess without seeing it.
And make it utterly, completely impossible to get. Can't fly there, wind
currents through you off. Can't jump there, no leverage. Have a bunch
of random tools (a springboard here, a fire flower there, a pulley
system or two) scattered about, things that make them THINK they can get
the star, but never work. Then go about your business and watch
them scramble for hours and hours and hours after that star, flailing
about for a reward they will never get. And flail they will, because
with those 99 stars just begging for the final 100th to be earned,
they'll forget all about the princess, heeding the star's siren song.
