Bestovius thinks highly of himself and is a descendant of the ancients. He is also a distant cousin of Merlon and Merlee, and is a direct cousin of Old Man Watchitt. If Mario and friends return the You-Know-What from Watchitt to Bestovius, Bestovius will give Mario and co. the Training Machine (a Nintendo DS) that he had promised Merluvlee. According to Bestovius, he no longer needs it because he got a newer, sleeker model.
