In the original, the goomba thugs were hitting on Goombella, and that's what sparks the conflict.
Other changes include: Everyone knowing the giant dragon Hooktail is a girl right from the start, instead of her gender reveal being a surprise at the end of the game. No misgendering here! And "The Shadow Sirens" being changed to "The Three Shadows." Three guesses where THAT change is going....
Of course, Mrs. Mowz still sexually assaults Mario without his consent. Because it's funny when a man gets kissed by a stranger!
To be fair with The Three Shadows, it is technically more accurate to the Japanese script than the original English localization. Similar to SMRPG, at least some of the script changes look to make things more similar to the original script, such as Hooktail hating "frogs" (Japanese and English remake script) rather than "crickets" (original English script).
Not trying to defend DEI bullshit creeping its way into remakes and remasters, because I have no explanation for the other script changes being made and nowhere near enough knowledge of Japanese to dig through the script.

I don't care how "accurate" it is, calling it "The Third Shadows" is lame as fuck.
