Apathy is lethal King Koopa.
Although I don't agree I understand what you're saying. Though I'm fine with circumventing the story for the sake of interesting gameplay I know that every game should not be like that.

Besides King Koopa is totally apathetic. He more prominently shows that he is in all recent games. This invokes another cliche. The bad guy is probably going to lose in EVERY game so he doesn't bother with effort. Strangely with Super Mario Galaxy you will note Bowser is dead serious. Maybe innovative schemes give him more confidence in his villainy.
