I also think the Hammers at 7:56 might be that you need to complete 2 missions for the Toads to finish their work.

Could you link where they say that? I remember them saying that "If you don't know how to use parts", which to me suggests that story mode isn't required for anything but is useful for learning creative ways to use parts.

You’d then have to jump on their head 6 times, but a Luigi AI or a second player would come and help you defeat the enemy, like in the co-op online mode. You’d eventually defeat it and then it says it will stop its madness. The end and then you unlock something. I don’t what it would be.
