His dedication to entertainment is so compulsive, that he has transformed into a cyborg with a television set-like appearance, and once he took over Didney Worl and replaced it with Puzzle Park, he fused with the engine room of his new amusement park, becoming its power source, all of this symbolizing his obsessive nature. Even though he possesses ruthless ambition and a craving for control over his entertainment platform, Mr. Puzzles is still able to be affable if he wants to, as evidenced by his temporary bond with Leggy. He experiences deep emotional distress when she is taken away, revealing his underlying vulnerability and bit of humanity. Following Mr Puzzles’ imprisonment, it initially seemed like he will never be likely to repent on his flagitious acts, nor if he will ever change his ways or not due to his deteriorating sanity and a final desire for vengeance on the SMG4 Crew for taking every opportunity for fame and praise away from him. However, Mr. Puzzles's affability and ability to make friends develops again. For the first time since his friendship with Leggy, Mr. Puzzles is shown to finally achieve normalcy with Mr. WPNZ and Toomp. However, when Meggy offers to consult with him and determine whether or not he has changed, Mr. Puzzles becomes torn over choosing Meggy's offer or going through with the "kidnapping" with Mr. WPNZ and Toomp. He succumbs to indecisiveness and anxiety over the course of his prison break while trying to maintain his villainous persona, which costs him WPNZ's, Toomp's and Meggy's trust in him. Mr. Puzzles' life comes crashing down when Meggy finds out that he lied about changing for the better, even though he tearfully admitted to wanting to show her he could change. After failing to gain Meggy's trust, he dejectedly realizes what he has done and wants to fix his actions. His tears are not from the loss of a scheme but from a genuine, painful recognition of the damage and trauma he has caused over the years. He is overcome with grief and shame, collapsing in tears as he finally understands the weight of his actions, driven by a desire for fame and trust, led to devastating consequences. While his past actions caused immense pain—including Meggy's PTSD and the destruction of Peach's Castle—the ultimate loss of trust from those closest to him appears to be what finally forces him to confront his actions. With nothing left, a dejected Puzzles vows to mend the damage and atone for his mistakes, beginning his newfound desire to become a better person. His final moments are filled with a tearful apology to Meggy, acknowledging the harm he caused over three years by manipulating their ambitions and obsessions for his own selfish desire to be considered better. He fully understands his ambitions for fame was corrupting him throughout his entire life. Before the rift closed, Puzzles spoke his last words to Meggy, tearfully apologizing for the torment he caused. He admitted that his actions to make their lives "entertaining" were not worth the pain and that he could never forgive himself. He hoped his sacrifice would give her a brighter future. "MEGGY!! I've wronged you more than I could ever atone for. We'll never be friends... and maybe that's how it always had to end. But if my leaving brings you even an INKLING of peace, then at least I did one thing right."
