After making their way through Kero Sewers and down Midas River, Mario and Mallow make it back to Tadpole Pond to speak with the Frog Sage. However, the Frog Sage then decided to tell Mallow the truth about his heritage and that he isn't really a frog and he found him floating down Midas River one day in a basket. This revelation upsets both the Frog Sage and Mallow, and the Frog Sage urges Mario to help Mallow find his real parents. the Frog Sage will remain in a depressive state until Mario gives him the Cricket Pie which cheers him back up.
