YES!!! I'm all for all of this. I feel like with the Hero Medal thing- Phil would kind of disrespect it on principle (you don't just choose heroes ...like what, are you just gonna save the world because a piece of metal told you too? Puh-lease)...but also sometimes you kind of have to listen to dumbass ancient magic, even if it's going to make him age 50 years.

Also YEAH he's gonna hate Mario for being Mario. Just feels personally targeted by his entire existence.
