Escargon had a secret that nobody ever knew: he'd always wanted to be a racecar driver. It wasn't until he saw posters for a local race that he was able to act on his longtime ambition. He got himself ready and made the perfect car that would fit his unique body. The judges grudging allowed Escargon to enter the race, but only on one condition: he had to paint a big 'S' on his car, so that people knew he was a snail and, therefor, slow--so you could just ignore him. Infuriated, Escargon agreed only because this was his only, and possibly last!, chance to fulfill his life-long dream.
The day of the big race came at last, and Escargon got into his car. He had donned a disguise for the occasion, so that no one could jab and jeer at a snail trying to go faster than anyone else. Kirby had also come to the race, and gave the masked Escargon a friendly wave as his star parked right next to the mustache'd snail. No way! Kirby was here!? There was no way he'd win!! But, just as quickly as the moment of self-doubt came, it passed. This was his time, his moment, and no one could take it from him.
His 'hands' gripped the steering wheel.
No one.
Escargon concentrated hard on the lights ahead of them... red... yellow... GREEN!
GO!
His car, much to everyone's surprise, shot off like a rocket, quickly overcoming Kirby's star. He zoomed around the track faster than anyone had ever seen a car go! The giant 'S' on his car became just a streak of white blazing past the competition! And, in only a matter of seconds, he had won the race! At last, not only was he a racecar driver, but a champion one at that!
But, his car didn't stop there! It circled the track once, twice... three times!! Uh-oh... Escargon went to his the brakes, only to realize that he hadn't installed any! The car gained speed as it swung around the track, gaining momentum until it became just a blur to the audience. Oh no! It was out of control! The car began to heat up and a screeching noise filled the air until--POP!
The car blinked out of existence.
Unbelievable! The car had moved so fast it had traveled back to the future, and ceased to exist in the present! The stunned audience watched in shock and awe as the mysterious car disappeared. The other racers were at a loss for words, minds boggled, unable to fully comprehend what had just happened. At last, King Dedede, ever the loquacious one, broke the silence to ask the one question burning in everyone's mind:
"Hey... where's S car gone?"
