I'm pretty sure it's a reference to the letter in the beginning. Peach says that she baked a cake for mario.
But they at least could've made her jump into Mario, kissing him wildly and thanking him for risking his life for her. :|
Mario's supposed to be a fun game and the ending had no emotions at all.
But the credits made me cry.

You're loving done with the game! What now? The game was so great and now it's about to end! It took me 2 loving years to beat that game, and now it's just about do end!
I felt like a world was tearing apart.
