Herlock Solmes

"Elementary, my dear Kooparity. You're a cross between a lizard and an inferior species of toad. Your brain is smaller than a peanut. You got the lowest grades in your school and hold the world record for flunking kindergarten the most times. When you were little, the other Koopas nicknamed you "Lizard Lips" and never let you play with them. You were a naughty lily-livered bully boy and wet the bed until you were twelve."

Later, after Professor Kooparity, Mouser, Tryclyde, and the Koopa Troopa steal the Retro Router and are preparing to use it to flood Victoria, Professor Kooparity gloats that once he flooded Victoria, he would be one of the vilest villains ever, and asks Herlock Solmes, who is still tied to a chair, what he thinks of him now; after being asked this by Professor Kooparity, Herlock Solmes proceeds to reveal several embarrassing secrets of Professor Kooparity and mocks him, which enrages Professor Kooparity, and causes the nearby Mouser, Tryclyde, and Koopa Troopa to laugh hysterically.

Eventually, Herlock Solmes is released from his confinement by Professor Kooparity by Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Toadstool, who manage to find Professor Kooparity's sewer headquarters.

Before Herlock Solmes can stop him, Mario opens the carrying cage of the Killer Kitty of the Caskervilles, thinking it to be a lunchbox.
