Toadstool always jammed up Mario

This comes via a co-worker of Jam Up guru Big Mike - and we here agree whole heartedly.

Mario worked his ass off to drop the dragon into the fiery pit to save the princess, but through every level (until the end of course) Toadstool is there to tell him the princess is gone. First - what's Toadstool doing hanging around? Why doesn't he/she save the princess. Always there - never any help.

For nostalgia's sake, I'm calling it Code 2 (it's also a video game - what, you want to find the princess on the first level?)
