You all go up to him. 

(Y/N): Hi there!

He looks at Goombella. 

Professor Frankly: Ah. Yes. You. Now, you, uh... I've seen your face before... Yes, that face... Wait for it... Just a moment... Don't tell me, now! Silence! I'll get it right!

He thinks for a bit, and- 

Professor Frankly: HMMMM! AHA! I got it! You're Goombella aren't you? You were in my archaeology class last year, am I right?

Goombella: Wow, yes, sir! That's me! I'm Goombella, a junior at U Goom! Gooo GOOMBAS!

(Y/N): Heh! I didn't know Goombas could attend a university! Most of the ones I run into work for Bowser. 

Ruby: Pretty sweet.

Professor Frankly: Of course, I remember you. Not toot my horn, but I'm pretty good at remembering. You, though... You stick out in my mind because you were such an exceptional student. And that guy behind you is...

(Y/N): Uh ... don't you recognize me? I beat Bowser! I got the Star Rod back to the Star Spirits? I'm the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom? 

Professor Frankly: Uh ... WHO ARE YOU? 

You fall at that. 

Goombella: That's (Y/N). You know the famous guy. 

Professor Frankly: Oh, excuse me. I'm such a bookworm, I don't know what's "hip" right now. 

Yang: Man what an old mummy this guy is! 

Professor Frankly: Well, anyway, what are you and your friends over there doing in a place like this? 

Ruby: We're finding a legendary treasure! You know, the one the stories talk about! Do you know about it? 

Professor Frankly: Of course I know about it. The reason I came here was to study that very subject. But why do you tykes want to learn about the legendary treasure? You know that most say it's a little more than a fairy tale, don't you?

Goombella: Archaeologists and historians have to search for truth in those fairy tales, though! Me, I believe the legendary treasure truly does exist! And I REALLY want to find it!
