It was a fine day at the pleasant Cheep Cheep each as Dixie Kong and Toadette were both hanging out with each other, chatting about the adventures that the two girls had on their own as they were going through the tropical jungle, heading towards the beach race course's starting line.
"Gosh, that sounds amazing. I wish I had great pals like Donkey Kong." Toadette admitted as she had her arms wrapped around the back of her pink mushroom cap.
Dixie nodded in response as she munched down on her ripe yellow banana. "Yeah, he really is a pretty cool guy. Definitely glad I have him as a friend." She then tossed the banana peel behind her as she let out a cute burp.
A pink colored Blooper suddenly washed up onto the shore, shocking both Dixie and Toadette as they walked up to it, with them being near the wooden boardwalk as Toadette poked at it.
"Oww! Hey, watch is, sister!" The pink Blooper stated as it then floated in the air, moving its small tentacles around.
Dixie and Toadette gasped as they placed their hands on their own faces, shocked.
"Y-you can talk!" Both of the pink clad girls stated in unison.
"Of course I can talk, you idiots." The pink Blooper responded while rolling its eyes as it then dashed right past the cute girls, twirling around and pointing at itself. "Anyway, now that I somehow got out of my environment, I'm going to cause some trouble now. See ya!"
"Oh no!" Toadette exclaimed as she shook her head, her hands up to her chin. "That Blooper is nastier than it looks!"
Dixie pounded her fists together as she growled, feeling determined. "Well, I'm not letting it get away that easily!" She then let out a monkey screech as she chased after the Blooper, running on the wooden boardwalk.
"Hey, wait for me!" Toadette exclaimed as she dashed right after Dixie, managing to catch up due to being a small fast character.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Cheep Cheep Beach, Birdo was relaxing on the sand near the Lighthouse, sighing as she was enjoying herself. However, that wouldn't last, as the pink Blooper floated right above her, accidentally letting out ink on her. It didn't help that Dixie and Toadette also ran on top of the pink dinosaur's stomach, injuring her gut.
"Oww! Hey!" Birdo exclaimed as she placed her hands on her hips, an angered look on her face, which was black from the ink. "What's the big idea, huh!? I'm trying to have a relaxing time and not only do I get ink on my face, but you two step on me too! The nerve of you people!"
"There's no time to talk!" Dixie exclaimed as she noticed the pink Blooper hijacking a small boat, pointing at it. "That squid that inked you is evil and is going to do nasty things!"
"Yeah! We gotta stop it!" Toadette exclaimed as she flailed her arms about, panicking.
Birdo sighed as she closed her eyes, placing her left hand on her forehead. "I know I'm going to regret joining you two on what likely is a stupid quest... but what the hell." Shrugging, she then pulled out a bigger but still relatively small boat, colored pink and themed after Birdo herself, with the boat being chucked into the sea as Dixie and Toadette observed the boat, then glanced at each other. Birdo pulled the two younger girls on board, and together, the pink girls set chase after the pink Blooper, who was heading north towards a certain mainland...
